Well, we’ve come to an end of our Eleven Days of Jay… some hated it, most loved it. It was great to be able to dedicate the site to my all time favorite emcee, although exhausting at times to get all the posts going while staying on top of hip hop current events. If you’re [...]

Jay-Z: Top 15 Underrated Songs

by Sean Deez September 11, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

This last little while, Jay-Z has been the talk of the town. A town of music that he runs laps around, an industry he has by the throat, a genre he has at bay. However, Jay-Z the musician gets overlooked many times. If not for the talent he possess, then for the talent he has [...]

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

by Thomas September 11, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

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 [...]

by Thomas September 10, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

American Gangster: The Remixes

by Kevin September 10, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

If The Black Album was the birth of the full album remix, than American Gangster was certainly the death of it. It’s not that there were so many bad remixes (though there were some), but that there were so many! HipHopDX actually had a contest for the best AG remix album (congrats to Remot). But, [...]

Jay-Z vs. Eminem vs. Royce Da 5’9″

by Thomas September 10, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

Our last Who Spit for Jay week. “Eminem killed you on your own sh*t.” Nas spit that famous line on “Ether” as an answer record to Jay’s “Takeover.” So the question is did Eminem kill Jay on his on ish?

Jay-Z: American Gangster (The Lyrics)

by Thomas September 10, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

Jay finishes off his 10th album with this banger by Just Blaze. Verse two is where he shines.

by Thomas September 9, 2009 Diggin' In Da Crates

Jay-Z: Beach Chair (The Lyrics)

by Thomas September 9, 2009 Eleven Days of Jay

Kingdom Come is at the bottom of my Jay-Z discography list, but “Beach Chair” has Jay in his introspective/self-reflective mold. The gem can be found in verse one: “I got demons in my past/ So i got daughters on the way/ If the prophecy’s correct/ Then the child should have to pay/ For the sins [...]

For the past 10 days, we have been celebrating Jay-Z‘s discography and the release of his latest effort, Blueprint 3.

On “I Love the Dough” B.I.G. was masterful again with Jay keeping pace. On “Young G’s,” Jay’s verse that included lines such as: “Some say I been here before because of the way I zone/Some [...]
