Jay-Z: A Star Is Born (The Lyrics)

Last one!  I have only listened to BP3 a couple of times since Tuesday.  I didn’t listen to the album when it leaked on purpose…so I’m behind everyone else.

“A Star Is Born” is one of the better tracks on the album and has Jay giving props to many of his peers in the rap game (I don’t think he is dissin 50 tho).  The second verse seems appropriate because of his mention of Rae, the purple tape, and Wu-Tang.

Hit the cut for the lyrics (courtesy of CD booklet and stream).

“Hey, Snoop Dogged it, Nelly came down
Facemob kept the ghetto for the H-Town
Luda moved digits after he moved bitches
Drake’s up next, see what he do wit it
Rule had a run, couple movie parts
T.I. literally wanted to shoot up the charts
Waddup Jeezy? What it do
Ya’ll remind me of us in early ’92
OutKast landed, 3 -thou’ was ill
Like a male version, of Lauryn Hill
Mobb Deep Shook it, but Prodigy took it
a lil’ too far, can’t fuck wit Brooklyn
Wu-Tang gangbanged it, Meth ate
Rae took on a date with the Purple Tape
Passed it on to Ason and then Ghostface
They had a helluva of a run, standing ovate- eyyy!”
