Jay-Z Takes Shots at Studio Thugs

By , About.com GuideJune 22, 2007

Follow me on:

In a new song from T.I. vs. T.I.P. that found itself onto the web yesterday, Jay-Z takes time to launch a verbal attack on some unnamed mud-slingers. I've been trying to connect the dots, and if my subliminal decoder is on point, most of the disses were aimed specifically at The Game and Lil' Wayne.

Sample lyrics: "I hear you baiting me lately/I've been doing my best just to stay hater-free/Still, watch what you say to me/Sooner or later, i'll take you up on your offer/And put you all in your place."

Could this be Jay-Z's rebuttal to Game's "My B***h"? Now that Hov has put his battling gloves back on, can we expect a broiling beef to bring excitement back to the rap game?

^Steve obviously doesn’t know hip hop.
Lil wayne can’t top Dead Presidents…that one song is better than lil waynes whole career

BTW…Reasonable Doubt- classic (you’ve probably never heard of it cuz you have ur head too far up the commercial trash can)
Black Album- Classic
Blueprint- Classic

Everyone can agree lil wayne has NO classic albums and he DOESNT EVEN WRITE HIS OWN STUFF…well he JUST STARTED LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO AND NOW HES THE BEST? GET REAL…

He brought that fire didnt he? I heard it was a diss to LL but if thats the case then my “subliminal decoder” isnt on. Maybe the canibus reference but thats about it. Regaurdless… He brought it.

Jay-Z = Legend
Lil Wayne = Ugly skinny gay wannabe
Game = Little talent, even less brain

Ben, i’ll agree that Jay’s albums ‘reasonable doubt’ and ‘blueprint’ are classics, ‘black album’ on the other hand not so much!

(12) g freshh says:

LOL..whos saying g-unit forever? their era was a longetivity of like wah one year? they dont even have the respect they used to.. Game has talent buh he aint tryin as hard as he could be lil wayne has a big ego buh little talent, and Jay Z is a legend for sure, black album wasnt his best buh that track Moment of Clarity was Amazing from jay’s lyrics to Eminems beat

June 28, 2007 at 7:07 pm
(13) g freshh says:

Jay-Z is a true talent he has had GOOD albums, I’d disagree with classic though. Classic pertains to the work of the artist regardless of time. Dre’s Chronic is a classic, 2pac’s All Eyes on Me is a classic. Thy changed the way rap was viewed, respected, and admired. Jay-Z is simply a good lyricist with little to no content. However, he is ten times better than Lil Wayne and Kayne. And G-Unit is laughable.

(15) Henry says:

He’s not talking to LL. His DNA is not in LL’s music, it’s in Tha Carter II.

Man Jay-z needs to stay retired for the 5th time already…jay is garbage he cant stand up to nas…also g-unit is effin garbage, its all about the game, on one blood remix everyone was on it except jay-z and g-unit…cuz they f**king suck

(19) Bernie says:

LOL! TI may be the king of the south but what is coming out of the south? yung joc? the south is garbage now and ti is good but def not the best…the game is better than ti, but since youll prolly argue that, there is someone who is worlds better than ti, eminem..em is the best rapper alive today and def top 3 all time

Hey B, Jay-Z only came out of retirement once, so get your facts straight. Game is fake cuz he got punked by Memphis Bleek in Cali and he got punked on Change Of Heart. Game and Jay-Z aren’t even beefin anymore.
Jay-z is the greatest rapper of all time. Even THE GAME said it on BET!!!

August 16, 2007 at 3:18 pm
(21) IcebergSlim says:

Wakillah, out of that list, the only person T.I. is better than is Flip. Let Me guess: You haven’t heard T.I vs T.I.P yet have you. He’s good, but not great. Don’t ever compare him to legends like Jigga. Nobody can ever do what Jay-Z’s done in the music industry.

August 16, 2007 at 3:24 pm
(22) IcebergSlim says:

And when Jay-Z said “Canibus”, he meant weed, and was only talkin about Lil Wayne, cuz Wayne’s sorry ass took shots at his mentor, Jay, in a mag. Second G-Unit has always sucked, and I bet you’ll get pimpsmacked if you said that in public. LostCause, you’re a lost cause.

August 16, 2007 at 3:31 pm
(23) IcebergSlim says:

Matt, Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint were two of the greatest albums of all time. Blueprint was the very first album to ever get XXL. And I think that Blueprint 2 and Black Album were great albums, too. Jay-z changed rap and is the greatest rapper ever. EVER, with no disrespect to Big and Pac.

(24) trell says:

jay-z cant even rap any more and he cant be a legend like 2 pac and biggie cuz they both were hot until there death but jay-z lost it before retirement and lil wayne drought albumS with and s are the best albums off the top of his head and at that everybody knows skys the limit if not listen to it and youll see who better lil wayne or jay-z but for game hahahah he a joke not takin serious one hit wonder and fifty made him what he is so for that he should not be on here it should be fifty

jay z sucks booty

Jay- Z blows cock, the only good thing he did was reasonable doubt and now I think he should just retire and be done with. But, in no way is Wayne better than him.
