Jay-Z - Watch Me

Jay-Z_Biography_2.jpg


I push more powder than Crystal Light
The only powder Jay-Z ever pushed was when he was putting makeup on his nose. I can't stand him. Tupac hated him and he had the balls to redo one of Pac's songs. Your a pussy Jay-Z.

From the song "Fuck Jay-Z" by ThunderPants
 
^ lol

Mine: (posted in a Werds thread also:)

DJ Paul in a Lil Wyte (worst rapper ever) song I cant remembr the name of at the moment (something like "players in the atmosphere" I believe)

Man I wish I could buy you boys for what you really worth
Turn around and sell you for what you think you worth

also from same song, Juicy J:

I can make that thing wet like a SpongeBob

Yea I thought that was unacceptable for him to re-do "Me And My Girlfriend", but have you actually listened to the song I posted? That shit is ridiculous. Jay-Z + Dr. Dre = WIN.

Great picture of Pac, btw. That man is and always will be the greatest.

P.S. Who's to say Pac and Jay wouldn't be cool today? Pac had no real beef with Jay. The only reason he went at him was because of his affiliation with Biggie. To my knowledge, Jay never said anything about Pac while he was alive. But Pac was on a warpath and went hard at anybody who was down with Biggie, the man he assumed set him up in NYC. Do a little research and you'll find that Pac squashed the shit with Nas before he passed. It's been almost twelve years, who knows what Pac would be up to today.

P.S.S. I'm sure you are already aware of this, but in case you aren't, Nas actually sampled those very same Pac vocals you quote (from "Friends"), which you can hear on "Ether."

Atmophere has a lot of great lines, I can't choose just one, but first what comes to mind... "Smart went nuts and rode a unicorn to the storm" And other one which really gives you chills: "I can count the days 'till you come back, or I can follow them sun rays down to the traintrack".

Ooh, I love Atmosphere!!!

That must be at the very beginning when maynard is whispering, right?
Nah. It's the end of the chorus. A very prominate part of the song. Give it another listen :)


Oh wait. I just read the first post again. Wrong song. The words are from Gravity not Weak and Powerless.
 
Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Tim Buckley - Song to the Siren.

(It's on high rotation at the moment - along with a few of the Late Mr Buckley's finest)
 
"I've been trading ideas with intruguing men, and I... I've percieved an honest solution to all of your pride." -Circa Survive


"I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together." -The Beatles


"Well that is that, and this is this. You tell me what you saw, and I'll tell you what you missed, when the ocean met the sky. You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. When the Earth folded in on itself, and said 'good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath.' You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? You wasted life, why won't you waste the afterlife?" -Modest Mouse sorry, I had to put the whole verse, its too amazing<3
 
"it's a curious friend, looking out for a false goodbye"

" i see two sides of you with one eye"

both from POLVO
 
another from me -


Notorious BIG - My Downfall

"Fuck around get wet like semen, you're whole team and,
be more gone than Freeman"

As in Morgan Freeman, the actor...Biggie will make your whole team bloody wet and then be more gone than Freeman!

That's what I love about that old-school shit (though this one is kind of post-old school). It wasn't packed full of punchlines. When a good artist delivered one, it was something special.

There's some newer rap song that uses that same line about More-gone Freeman

shocker. nothing's original in that "genre"

I'll try to remember what it is. Really bugging me now :!

I think the DJ at the bar I work at plays it so I'll know this weekend at latest....
 
i know you're always tellin' me you love me, just sometimes i wonder if i should believe......
