Favorite Jay-Z Songs

[DƎRDYPK]

Saying that this is a Jay-Z thread and yes he may not be the most talented emcee ever, but he makes better MUSIC than the likes of Diabolic and Copywrite will ever make - this forum's attitude towards mainstream artists is ridiculously close minded to be honest.

**creeps into another thread cause this one isn't for him**

uhhhh Dirt Off Ya Shoulder was my shit
but I still don't care for Jay too much

Eminem's flow was at an all time high on Relpase - listen to Stay Wide Awake and 3 Am, his flow was unbelievable on that album - stringing words together effortlessly, riding every beat like it was his baby's mama, and he still managed to have perfect clarity, breath control and cadence - if you're hating on Em's flow on Relapse you're clueless.

Lyrically, no it wasn't anywhere near as good as TES, MMLP or SSLP, rhyme wise though, of course it was, but not lyrically - lyrics have substance and a message, thats what Relapse lacked, but these underground rappers I see mentioned on here don't have any substance either - I said it before: you take punchlines away from somebody like Copywrite and what are left with? Nothing, so why critisise Em for having no substance on Relapse and then praise other unknown gimps that are in the exact same boat as him?

Nail on head.

KillahBee had a valid point.

Berry you're retarded though. Copywrite and Diabolic are known by a considerable amount of fans. More people have heard a song by them than a song by Proof or Cashis. The fuck outta here.

Just read the thread and here are my pointers

1) Rhyme-wise, SSLP > Relapse by a mile. Relapse was fucking garbage, get out with that crap.
2) You take punches away from Copywrite and Diabolic and you have...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E14K9pNmATI<---------The greatest song ever made.
Plus why would you say "if you take punchlines away from"? There punches are amazing and mad entertaining, way better then that 90's shit that you listen to.

Off yeah on topic.

Moment of Clarity is easily my favorite song by him. Eminem's best beat ever

I also love Dirt Off My Shoulders, Renegade and pretty much anything off Reasonable Doubt.

Jay is overrated, but he's still a legend and dope as fuck.

[Ella]

smh

RELAPSE was fucking awful. Garbage accent, corny music, gay lyrics, forced "shock value".....I don't care if he had great lyrics or multi's, musically it was shit, and I will probably never play it again. Back on topic......

^co-fckn-sign

my fav Jay songs = basically anything from RD, TB, TBA.. and Empire State of Mind
