[...] one missing album won’t make a difference. But as we’ve pointed out before Jay likes to set trends and this is no [...]

When Nasir did similar shit, cats were quick to yell “GIMMICK”, but when Camel does it, it’s a “TREND.” Hip-Hop fans are on some lame follower shit…

Picking the “obvious thing” consistently is not easy to do. If it were, all of us would’ve created velcro, the sham-o, the pet rock, or some shit.
He’s a businessman, and very strategic in his approach. Cats mimic Jay-Z because he’s the personification of what most of these rappers aspire to be. Dude’s strategic, calculating, and always seems to be playing chess on the hip-hop checkerboard.

Another faux Jay-Z “trend”: The R&B girlfriend/wife.

Ahh I’ve figured it out! Jay is ultimately ending Ron Browz the Etherboy’s career for creating, well, ETHER. Jiggaman and his super secret agendas. He’ll finally forever have the one up on Nasir.

The track is alright … It’s no “Fire Burning” though

He did his thing on the beat. there are rappers out thier who would not even pick that beat. we dont know jay’s input on the production. the beat is good battle rap record and it’s also a good live show song. so therefore it’s serve’s it purpose. don’t over think just enjoy.something are not deeper than rap.

DONT DISS THE TRENDS… DISS THE “aggins” EFFIN UP THE TRENDS!

Jay-Z… DISS YUNG BERG, RON BROWS… etc…
=====================

Jay aint ever had the guts to name names(okay a few times ) unless the person he dissin already called him out by name.

I’m still having a really difficult time rocking with this. The production is unreal, No I.D. did his thing for sure. I feel that Jay came (ayo!) lazy and relatively uninspired, especially considering the subject matter and bearing it will have on rap music / hip-hop for the current day. I guess he could just be shutting shit down so hip-hop can progress as a whole and get out of the auto tune quicksand, but I have a hard time believing in the legitimacy of those motives. This whole situation is just really confusing to me. I can’t watch the T-Pain and Jay vid because I’m at work, but this kind of seems very suspect to me.

See… normally, I’d say “GEMINI’S UNITE!!! @ Gotty”…

this time… I agree with everything (advocate actually, check myspace) Gotty said but one thing…

Lost was a cool little ditty right there.

Haven’t you been just riding around feeling like there was no answer to some problem?

Anyways… I reinstate the solution as this…

DONT DISS THE TRENDS… DISS THE “aggins” EFFIN UP THE TRENDS!

Jay-Z… DISS YUNG BERG, RON BROWS… etc…

Like seriously…

Then again… he doesn’t diss the little people…

Which makes this whole “Jay-Z marketing scheme” come full circle.

I mean really… how you gonna come out with a song that disses Kanye’s whole album?
