Friday October 6, 2006
With Kingdom Come only 6 weeks away. there couldn't have been a more appropriate time for Jay-Z to drop his first single. Produced by Just Blaze, "Show Me What You Got" lifts the horns from Public Enemy's "Show Em What You Got," complete with a sampled Flava Flav serving as Hov's hypeman.
Take a listen and let us know what you think.

yes, yes ya’ll the jordan of rap is back.
No offensive to anyone. But this single blows. If you want to come back from retirement like everyone else try to do it a little stronger, then this unmatching beat with poor slow lyrics.
THANKYOU SO MUCH…I DIDNT KNOW IF I COULD TAKE ANYMORE OF JAY-Z ABSENCE
^^LOL
If the dude is seriously coming back with that weak pop ‘tart’ track, he should have just stuck to featuring on Southeren rappers songs.
Yall are the biggest idiots I’ve ever heard in my life. What is wrong with you dummys talking that BS about he shouldn’t came out with that yall so use to this fake garbage thats out yall dont know real music. Here go a qoute from Jay for yall
“Either haven’t heard the album or they don’t know english They only know what the single is, and singled that out to be the meaning of what he is about”
That’s a weak single, just admit it.
Finally he’s back but the single could have been a on some resonable doubt s**t. The single ain’t bad though. Hopefully he come back and eat camron up and the whole dipset. Jigga is the best far as im concerned. So everybody stop hatin and let him do his thang. Hov is back.
Its about time my boy came back and blessed us wit some heat. Haters get ya umbrella out its bout to rain on ya!
i love jigga but the single just didnt live up to the expectations of what I though his first single would sound like. But then again, this is how I felt when I first heard “change clothes”.
This is wack, a weak come back. I f**k Nas, he is the realest now. The Game that’s my n***a, f**k show me what u got its all about one blood
First of all that song is 100% heat. No one else could ride a track like that in Hip Hop and make that sound like that. People are so used to Jigga bringing heat they expect every song to be better than the next. Jay can’t go no higher so stop hating. Keep it up Jay make that fly for us people over 30.
For some reason i cant hear it and its pissing me off
Ok, the first verse of this track is hott. He lost me at the end. But…I heard a few other kingdom come songs at the Def Jam listening party; whoaaaaa, thats all i can say. This track here is nothing compared to whats coming out, trust me! Kingdom come is going to be a classic despite this track. At the DefJam listening party, people were walking up on the street and just stopped. Everybody was like dammmmm standing outside. Now the rest of the cd is too gutter to play on the radio. Man, he did it again.
DEAR GOD,
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE SECOND KING, YOUR SON JAY Z TO RETURN AND BLESS US WITH ANOTHER ALBUM. THIS TRACK IS HOT. AND ITS GOING TO GET EVEN MORE CRAZY
THANK YOU,
TONY T
Hov is back, this single is hot
OK THIS SINGLE IS TIGHT, BUT HOVA CAN DO BETTER. ITS STILL BETTER THAN ANYTHING FIFTY CENT CAN DO. YO JAY Z ITS TIGHT, WELCOME BACK

Boooooooo!
that is wack
I know people out there is gunna chew me out on saying this but I got to say it, Jay-Z is wack. I don’t see the big deal about him, he raps about the same old stuff which is materialism and girls which most mainstream rappers talk about on every album they come out with. He’s not creative with his rhymes,they’re dull and boring in my opinion, and on top of that he mimics other rappers styles. He has nothing to say that’s profond or creative to rap about something else that’s not the two this I mention already. I do have something good to say about Jay-Z and that’s allowing the Roots creative control of thier new album which is a classic in my opinion, and helping Mike Shinoda and Lupe Fiasco with their albums because they’re true hip hop artists and Jay-Z knows that.
just read the lyrics and this song is wack, shouldve stayed in retirement
I love this song, if a guy said that to me, i would get with him.
Just read what chosen one wrote and all i gotta say go out and get his first 3 albums, the blueprint (the 1st one) and the black album
Ohhh Jay, you did it again baby! I have been waiting for so long for you to come back. Thank you for blessing me with your lyrics. You are the bomb! When I first heard this single while riding in the car, I almost lost my d*&@ mind! That is my Ni$$a if he don’t get no bigger…….Show me what you got lil mama, show me what you got lil lady, show me what you got na mean, show me what you got babe…everybody on the postingboard put your mutha f*&in hands up and wave, wave, wave, wave.. that’s right I said it, wave, wave, wave. Ewwwww I can’t wait until Nov 21st. Hovie baby I will be the first one to cop this album just like the others!!!!!
HOV is back, Whoever think they got the crown give it up. “Get Out The Thrown U CLone The King Is Back” WHoever Doubts HOV don’t know rap.
I know u see it HOV is back.Its Da Rock!!!!
UMMMMM, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING INTELLIGENT, BUT…………..HOVA HOVA HOVA HOVA. WELCOME BACK JAY Z, THE GOD MC. THE KING HAS RETURNED. OH AND 50 CENT AND ALL THE OTHER FAKE GANGSTERS, STEP OUT THE THRONE YOU CLONES
Jigga is back! Even though it was obvious all along, I’m glad. He is a musical genius, the way he mixes up hip hop with other forms of music…
This track is garbage! Sounds like something Beyonce would write. Let’s hope Jay-Z has not had too much of an affect on Nas’ new album, otherwise New York Hip Hop may truly be dead…..a tragedy.
man that song with john legend is like that ya cant hate. ya gotta get at that. and if ya got the lyrics to that song holla ata me
