Check out this Freestyle By Commercial Great Jay-Z!!

I been crushin the buildin since Izod socks
I’m so independent sh.. i might buy Koch
I might not stop
Places to cop, 76 floors you can call me the Doc

Inspired by Boesky, got my chariots of fire
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I’m tired
Build me up break me down to build me up again
They like “Hov we need you back so we can kill ya as. again”
Hov got flow, though he’s no Big and Pac, but he’s close
How I’m ‘posed to win? They got me fighting ghosts…

Same sword the knight you they gon’ good night you with
Sh.., Thats only half if they like you
That aint even the half what they might do
Dont believe me ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas, see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide is a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles, ni..as sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you, you ghetto
So its tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now
Now the question is, “Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at [all]?”

Everybody wanna be the King then shots ring
You layin on your balcony with holes in your dream
Or you Malcolm X’d out, get distracted by screams
Everybody get your hand off my jeans!
Everybody look at you strange say you changed
Uhh! Like you work that hard to stay the same
Uhh! Game stays the same the name changes
So its best for those to not overdose on being famous
Most kings get driven so insane
That they try to hit the same vein that Kurt Cobain did
??No dangers, so shameless??
Invited to the intersanctum of yo chambers
??Low chained em as the enemies approach??
So raise ya draw bridge and drown em in the moat
And the Spirit I’m evokin
**Mumbles some BS** Hold on…

Everybody screamin they want the old Hov
But the new improved Hov hit like Albert Pujols
Everybody wanna hear me talk that money like Phil Rizzuto
But my mind is on Pluto
Bills that I do fold, i now invest on
Tryna find some loopholes in the IRS
As where I used to have a few hoes I am just
Concentratin on makin a new Hov through sex
I’ve awaken just in time to school those putos
Tryna follow in my shoes wit jewels froze
Better adhere to this text ‘fore you go
Broke, spendin more than you’ve accrued on silly baguettes
I know silly begets, silly you’ll learn on your own
At least my conscience is clear, I’m no longer steering you wrong
Aint nothing wrong with baguettes after you get a home
Take care of your home, you can go back and **Ugh!**

I’m getting courted by the bosses,
The Edgars And Doug Morris-es-es
Jimmy I’s and Lyors-es its
Gotta be more than the choruses
They respecting my mind now
Just a matter of time now
Operation: Takeover Corporate
Makeover offices-es-es then takeover all of it
Please may these words be recorded
To serve as testimony that i saw it all before it
Came to fruition, sort of a preminition
Uncontrollable, hustler’s ambition
Alias, SUPERSTITION, like Stevie
THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL, like my lady, right BB
Saw it all before some of yall thought I was crazy maybe
Like a fox I’m cagey, Ah Ah!
The more successful, the more stressful
The more and more I transform to Gordan Gekko
In the race to a billion got my face to the ceiling
Got my knees on the floor plz Lord forgive him
Has he lost his religion, is the greed gon’ get him?
He’s having heaven on earth, will his wings still fit him?
I got the Forbes on my living room floor
And I’m still talkin to the poor, ni..a I want more
TIME’s most influential, was impressive
‘Specially since, I wasnt in the artist section
Had me with the builders and the titans
Had me right with Rupie Murdoch
Billionaire Boys and some dudes you never heard of
Word up on Madison Ave, is I’m a Cash cow
Word down on Wall Street homie, you get the cash out
IPO Hov no need for reverse merger
The boy money talk no need to converse further
The baby blue Maybach like I own Gerber
Boardroom I’m liftin ya skirt up

A truly great freestyle! Jay-Z, yet again, shows why he could arguably the best rapper to ever pick up a mic.

I’ve heard a lot of freestyles in my life, but this one is most def on the top of my list.

Not sure if this superb freestyle was premeditated or not. But I still find it great!

What ya’ll think?

Ya’ll giving Jay-Z props on this rap?

In the music biz there are a lot of overwhelmingly beautiful women. However, ladies and gents, these are my top 5. With some buddies we tried to decide but really coudln’t stick to one! They all have their attributes. Blogger freaks, what’s ur opinion? Or am I missing any girls on this list

Let me know..

‘‘I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice,’’ he said in an interview on Wednesday. ‘‘It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.’’

The talented musician has found, paved and even created his weird, bizarre perspective in the music world which has influenced others, especially teens and young adults.

However, I found it hard not to comment when he overshines his music with comments like this!

I’m not sure what my hip hop comrades think on Kayne, but I have fallen out of reach with the cha-town native who only talks about what he’s done or what he is and never just shuts up and let’s the music talk for itself!

I can bet on anything the interviewer never even mentioned “what do you think your place is in this generation”.  He just sounded off…

I may be wrong, but It’s my opinion!

Peace…

I’m sorry I had to say something when I heard this atrocity!

Lil Wayne just won the lyricist of the year award by BET

I might be the only one…But people like Lil Wayne or Lil John are everything wrong with the Hip Hop & the Rap industry

I do know why people listen to them…they entertain with snappy lyrics and videos filled with women. Still, it beats me how Lil Wayne beat out cats like Kayne for the award.

How does a person with lyrics like this:

Okay, lil mama had a swag like mine
even wear her hair down her back like mine

I make her feel right when its wrong like lyin
Man, she ain never had a love like mine
n’ man I aint never seen a ass like hers

and that pussy in my mouth had me at a loss fo words
told her to back it up like erp erp
and make that ass jump like shczerp shczerp

and thats when she said i lo-lo-look like a lollipop

( oh yeah I like that )
she said I lo-lo-look like a lollipop
( oh yeah I like that )

she said I lo-lo-look like a lollipop
( oh yeah I like that )
Shawty I lo-lo-lookin like a lollipop

( oh yeah I like that )

Still steaming, but whats done is done.

This year’s BET ceremony will air on October 23.

Do you think Lil Wayne deserved this award?
 

Show my man Common some props! Serena is the African-princess any man would love to have…

Check it out the latest on hip hop’s new relationship hitting up some waves in Hawaii!

Though I’d start off my blog with the biggest news not only in the Hip Hop &Rap world but music in general.

Vibe magazine recognized rapper, white-boy, detriot native Eminem as the best commerical rapper alive.

Here’s what Em had to say about winning the recognition from fans:

“It’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive,” Em said in a statement released Tuesday, October 7. “I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah, I’ll accept!”

Eminem is mots def in the top 10 and maybe 5. However, his world recognition and sales that exceed 70 million prove the guy is legit and a shoe-in in the rap hall of fame.

I’m not so sure if falls to the number one spot in my list of best commerical rappers, but he sure is close.

I like Biggie…I rate the “best of the best” by their violent songs. When rappers come out with violent serious and realistic songs they tend to trigger their lyrics, and Biggie when violent is truely the best in emotion, passion and lyrics.

Pretty much all the other rappers out there just sing to get money…So really can’t take them seriously.

One of Em’s best lyrical performances:
