Video: LL Getting at Jay?

Written by Rizoh. Posted in Shots Fired

Published on September 24, 2007 with 66 Comments">66 Comments

I have nothing short of respect for uncle Todd (unlike Jim Jones, I don’t disrespect my elders). After all, LL is still No.1 on longevity. But longevity doesn’t sell records or earn you trophies in today’s battleground.

It wasn’t enough to blame Jay-Z for his last album, which tanked heavily, Cool J is now getting all emotional over Jay’s “billy the goat” line from “I Get Money (Forbes 1,2,3 Remix).”

Maybe someone needs to remind uncle Todd that:

1) While he’s definitely in the upper echelons, no one outside of his immediate family really bought into that GOAT claim
2) This isn’t 1987. That was 20 years ago.
3) Jay-Z is no Canibus. Not only is Hov ahead of today’s LL in all the vital categories (except longevity, of course), he’s also become a big enchilada in the game. So, blackballing Jay like he did ‘Bis is definitely not an option in 2007.

In any case, this should be an exciting one, assuming Jay agrees to play. He’s been reluctant about responding to shots lately.

    First off let me debunk the usual Jay stan weapon, “whos working for who now”. Stupid bullshit I always hear from Jay stans. I assume sales and your business position determine who’s the bestter rapper huh. Tecnically BIG worked for Puff so I guess your going to say PUff is a better rapper huh?

    I know you missin all the – FAAAAAAAME!
    But along with celebrity comes bout seventy shots to your brain
    Nigga; you a – LAAAAAAAME!
    Youse the fag model for Karl Kani/Esco ads
    Went from, Nasty Nas to Esco’s trash

    Went from Nasty Nas to Escos trash? Bullshit, nas did a few magazine adds for esco, alot of rappers from rakim to whoever have done the same.

    Had a spark when you started but now you’re just garbage

    Bullshit, Nas dropped 3 acclmaimed albums Illmatic, It Was Written, an I am which all recieved bigger commercial and critical success than their predacessors.

    Fell from top ten to not mentioned at all

    Nas was still being mentioned as top 10, I mean Rakim hasnt dropped anything in years but isn’t he still mentioned as top 10? yeahh..

    to your bodyguard’s “Oochie Wally” verse better than yours

    Maybe from jays prespective, cause Horse def didnt have a better verse. Thats debatable.

    Matter fact you had the worst flow on the whole fuckin song
    but I know

    bullshit, jungle had the worse flow on that song even u stans could figure that one out

    – the sun don’t shine, then son don’t shine
    That’s why your – LAAAAAAAME! – career come to a end

    while the fool jay was claiming someones career has come to an end he was in fact motivating nas to come out with a classic, stillmatic, so much for ended careers

    There’s only so long fake thugs can pretend
    Nigga; you ain’t live it you witnessed it from your folks pad

    yeah jay dropped bodys and let off shots like in all his songs. riggghtt

    You scribbled in your notepad and created your life
    I showed you your first tec on tour with Large Professor

    wasnt this already debunked. jay and techs, very nice, im impressed jay,

    (Me, that’s who!) Then I heard your album bout your tec on your dresser
    So yeah I sampled your voice, you was usin it wrong

    funny, using it wrong, walk with me lets move on to the next line of lies

    You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song

    false, the world is yours was a lyrically and flow wise supirior song to dead presidents so what is jay talking about, but yeah he made it a hot song, ill give it to my man hov

    And you ain’t get a corn nigga you was gettin fucked and
    I know who I paid God, Serchlite Publishing
    Use your – BRAAAAAAAIN! You said you been in this ten
    I’ve been in it five – smarten up Nas

    good for you jay, youve been in it 5

    Four albums in ten years nigga? I could divide
    That’s one every let’s say two, two of them shits was due

    One was – NAHHH, the other was “Illmatic”
    That’s a one hot album every ten year average

    yeah It was written is considered classic by the majority of music listeners, it was more commercially and critcally sucsessfull than illmatic and it gained nas more fans. I am also did well commercially and even though it was more commerciall than the previous it sold well and was near classic status lyrically. so yeah jay thats 3 albums every 10 year average. like jay aint release a couple commercial rebundant duds.

    And that’s so – LAAAAAAAME! Nigga switch up your flow
    Your shit is garbage, but you try and kick knowledge?

    yeah. nas flow did kinda fall off, but jay completly changed his flow for a worse one, which was still good, but yeah. And nas always kicked real knowledge, jay spoke 85% on money cash hoes basically.

    (Get the fuck outta here) You niggaz gon’ learn to respect the king

    king, yeah jay ill give u that, cause it doesnt mean your the best rapper.

    Don’t be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen

    yeah what picture of nas was jay going to show? more fabricated shit.

    Because you know who (who) did you know what (what)
    with you know who (yeah) but just keep that between me and you for now

    basically the only 100% fact in the whole song. Congrats jay you fucked that dirty ass hoodrat cuase nas was a sucka for love

    now that was my “quick” breakdown fam. Understand this i aint got hate for jay, but why jay stans dont acknowledge any other rappers being on his level is besides me. so whatever, feel free to think jay is god, just fall back with the excessive dikriding. every time jay is talked about some jay stan brings up nas out of spite.

    I never said Nas wasn’t on his level, I think Jay and Nas are the two best out. I like both rappers, but IMO Jay is better, he’s more consistent and his flow suits my style more so than Nas. And, I also felt like people didn’t really disect ‘Takeover’ and ‘Ether’. I still prefer ‘Takeover’ over ‘Ether’, I think Jay makes more valid points, that’s all.

    You went from Hovito to Dynasty, so you still throwing the ROC sign in the air? Cool.

    Understanding, I agree wit you on some levels.

    I Think ether was a dope diss track and he had some lines that killed Jay.

    Jay referenced Nas falling off which was a fact, Nas referenced Jay biting and liking his style Jay admitted it by saying illmatic was dope and then he fell off so Nas had no argument there.

    you guys are funny. jay z was a nobody until his style of rap took off in the mid to late 90′s.ll on the other hand came out over 20 yrs ago and ruled hip hop for years until he fell off after his first battle with moe dee. ll came back and destroyed moe dee with til da break of dawn. he did this by changing his style to match the times. this is something ll still does to this day. For jay z to even qualify to be nominated G.O.A.T. he has to prove he can rise to the top when his style isnt the current flavor in hip hop, in other words sell records, and rock crowds outside his era as ll did in the 90′s, and today. by the way only one mc has been able to consistantly sell records while not only keeping his chosen style through the years, despite having no air play at all due to his lyrics. this in my opinion makes Too Short the G.O.A.T.

    But if you touch a mic your motherfuckin ass hang
    That’s facts, niggaz don’t recieve no type of slack
    Cause if they do, they ass is always runnin back
    Not this time, but next time I’ma name names

    Your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance (word up)
    Now let’s get back to this mic on my arm
    If it ever left my side it’d transform into a time bomb
    You don’t wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize
    And you don’t wanna make me mad nigga you wanna socalize
    And I’m daring every MC in the game
    to play yourself out position, and mention my name
    I make a rhyme for every syllable in your name
    Go platinum for every time your grimy as* was on the train
    Watch your mouth don’t ever step out of line
    LL Cool J nigga, greatest of all time

    NEED I SAY MORE.

    I’ma do this sh*t for free this time this one’s for fun
    Blow you to pieces, leave you covered in feces
    with one thesis (“LL Cool J is hard”)
    Every little boy wanna pick up the mic
    and try to run with the big boys and live up to the real hype
    But that’s like pickin up a ball, playin with Mike,
    Swingin at Ken Griffey or challengin Roy to a fight
    Snappin, you ameteur MC’s
    Don’t you know I’m like the Dream Team tourin overseas
    For rappers in my circle I’m a deadly disease
    Ringmaster, bringin a tiger cub to his knees (uhh)
    In the history of rap they’ve never seen such prominence
    Your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance (word up)
    Now let’s get back to this mic on my arm
    If it ever left my side it’d transform into a time bomb
    You don’t wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize
    And you don’t wanna make me mad nigga you wanna socalize
    And I’m daring every MC in the game
    to play yourself out position, and mention my name
    I make a rhyme for every syllable in your name
    Go platinum for every time your grimy as* was on the train
    Watch your mouth don’t ever step out of line
    LL Cool J nigga, greatest of all time

    NEED I SAY MORE.
