What were some of the hottest lyrics off the Black Album?

That album was hot don't care about you fucks who said it was weak. The lyrics he spit are damn clever.

Heres a few among the many:



Goodbye to the game all the spoils, the adrenaline rush
Your blood boils, you in a spot, knowin cops could rush
at you in the drop, you so easy to touch
No two days are alike, except the 1st and 15th pretty much
And trust, is a word you seldom hear from us
Hustlers, we don't sleep, we rest one eye up
And a drought could define a man when the well dries up
You learn the worth of water
Without work you thirst 'til you die - YUP!

- December 4th, 3rd Verse.

There's never been a nigga this good for this long
This hood, or this pop, this hot, or this strong
With so many different flows there's one for this song
The next one I switch up, this one will get bit up
These fucks, too lazy to make up shit, they crazy
They don't, paint pictures, they just, trace me
You know what? Soon they forget where they plucked
they whole style from, they try to reverse the outcome
I'm like - TOUGH!

You already know what I'm about, flyin birds down South
Movin wet off the step, "Purple Rain" in a drought
Stuntin on hoes; brushin off my shirt
But ain't nuttin on my clothes 'cept my chain, my name
Young H-O pitch the yay faithful
Even if they patrol I make payroll

- What More Can I Say.

From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like +Jordan+, +wearin the 4-5+
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you..LOL.

- What More Can I Say.

Your boy back in the building, Brooklyn we back on the map
Me and my beautiful beeeeeeeitch in the back of that +'Bach+(Maybach)
From Bricks to Billboards, from grams to Grammys
The O's to opposite, Orphan Annie
You gotta pardon Jay, for sellin out the Garden in a day
I'm like a young Marvin in this hey'

- Dirt Off Your Shoulder.

Allow me to re-introduce myself
My name is Hov', OH, H-to-the-O-V
I used to move snowflakes by the O-Z
I guess even back then you can call me
CEO of the R-O-C, Hov'!
Fresh out the fryin pan into the fire
I be the, music biz number one supplier
+Flyer/flier+ than a piece of paper bearin my name
Got the hottest chick in the game wearin my chain, that's right
Hov', OH - not D.O.C.
But similar to them letters, "No One Can Do it Better"
I check cheddar like a food inspector
My homey Strict told me, "Dude finish your breakfast"
So that's what I'ma do, take you back to the dude
with the Lexus, fast-forward the jewels and the necklace
Let me tell you dudes what I do to protect this
I shoot at you actors like movie directors
This ain't a movie dog...
Lol.

- P.S.A

I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
They criticized me for it yet they all yell "HOLLA!"
If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be
lyrically, Talib Kweli
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common +Sense+
But I did five mill' - I ain't been rhymin like Common +since+
When your +cents+ got that much in common
And you been hustlin +since+, your inception
Fuck perception go with what makes +sense+
+Since+ I know what I'm up against
We as rappers must decide what's most impor-tant
And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them
So I got rich and gave back, to me that's the win/win

- Moment of Clarity.

Now Who thinks the Black Album is Weak?

i agree i was never 1 of the people who thought the black album was weak. i dont think there are very many people who think its a wack album, its just that for a retiring final album from the legen jay-z it didnt live up to all the hype surrounding it, and sure as hell wasnt a top album of all time or of jay's career. i find it a very good album tho

Man, the lyrics were on point with the black album.

Allow me to re-introduce myself
My name is Hov', OH, H-to-the-O-V

Lol.

thats good but he bit the bold part from Humpty Hump

So what, he recited the beginning of LL Cool J's "I Need Love" during his concert on the Fade To Black movie.

How about 99 problems

"The year's '94 and my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
I got two choices y'all pull over the car or (hmmm)
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So i...pull over to the side of the road
I heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin' you for?"
Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo'?
"Well you was doin fifty-five in a fifty-fo' "
"Liscense and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin' a weapon on you i know a lot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of shit all my papers legit
"Well, do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk in the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack, you some type of lawyer or something'?"
"Or somebody important or somethin'?"
Tah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"We'll see how smart you are when the K-9 come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me"

Yeah that verse was hot too

yeh i agree man

It was hot but NOOO WHERE near da blue print dats 1 of his best rite there.

thats good but he bit the bold part from Humpty Hump

And he "bit" LL Cool J on his live performace. He even had the "I Need Love" music going on.

Dude, come on. Jay never bites.

"like a running back nigga im straight off the block"

The whole album was hot other than change clothes. But a favorite verse would have to be off what more can i say, the whole track was one of his hottest but I like this verse alot. Biggin up my borough, Im big enuff to do it, Im that thourough, plus I know my own flow is folish, so them rings and things you sing about bring em out, its hard to yell when the barrels, in ya mouth. That was hot.

moment of clarity lyrics are some of the best i've ever heard, well cleaver stuff, with the sense, since and common bits that don c wrote in. rep
good opinion and good lyrics chosen.
I agree, the black album was sick but blueprints still his best i think.
