Never

I like how Jay-Z stole RA The Rugged Man's line on this song.

Jay-Z stole Renegades from Royce, too. He's all up on the underground's sack

:sleep:

You like both of these artists?

Yeah I know, I was sleeping on you and Shaun accquisitions.

I just meant that song... lol

I like this shit....something different and a song that actually vibes with all the different guest.

Am I the only one who's feeling Nicki mic skills a tad? Sure I am...lol.

If you heard the songs in question...I don't see how you could come to any other understatement.

Well enlightening me please. How did Jay "steal" Renegade from Royce? And what RA line did you "steal"?

From his Jedi Mind Tricks feature, he said "rapin and pillages villages". Jay said the exact same line here. What are the odds of that?

"How did Jay "steal" Renegade from Royce? "

Because I said so

lMAO!!! Really? Isn't that a well known historic fact that type of thing went on pretty frequent during certain era's.

Woooooooooooow........Nicki Minaj murdered these fools on this track and I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck whatcha think about it!!!!! lol

The beat was kinda weak, though. It might have been this particular link, though, it just sounded low quality.

I don't really think I "luv" the mainstream. Especially these days.

I truly dig this song so I luv the mainstream? I think Nicki has a cool rhyme style so I "luv" the mainstream. I'm not close minded to the mainstream and I do have some artist I truly like that are manistream but it goes both ways with me. You like the mainstream as much as I do..lol.

I never said you loved the mainstream. You're more open to it than everyone else. It's not a bad thing... lol

Oh okay. But I know i'm not more open to it than "everyone" else.

Everyone on here.

Nicki Minaj is the GOAT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


of bare back blowjobs


I just love her mane(mayne)

Nicki is nothing special on the mic, but she sounded dope on this track.

I just dig Niki actually has a semi original delivery/style and is trying to up the ante on what Lil Kim started. Is she the 2nd coming of Mc Lyte or something? No. But I can see the lyrical talent she has.

She stole her style from Cam'Ron- what's original about that?

Nicki Minaj...terrible

nicki is awful


and kev wonders why hes the mainstream luva LMAo

Now I am no Cam expert so I may be wrong. Nor am I even trying to get in a debate about Nic Minaj but I do not see it. When I say semi original i'm talking about her skitso flow where she changes her voice in the middle of the flow. Also she is at least trying to standout from all the other rappers flooding this weak game. And I always thought that was one of the main points. To try to come like no one else and she does that. Now the way she wrods her rhymes may be just like Cam or whatever, but I see a biiiiiiiiiig difference between them too.

that whole - bla bla bla. ASBESTOS.

that was cam...

I mean she didn't steal the baby voice blabber bullshit from anyone, noone ever thought they could get away with sounding like a rugrat on a rap record, but technically that style isn't new - busta is known for the voice changing shit, mystikal too, and Koopsta Knicca did it and has done it for over 15 years now.

I feel you, hence why I said "semi original". Can't remember a female emcee with that style.

Yeah, no female emcees I guess. Da Brat kind of touched on it but not really. Missy kind of did it too though if you think about it.

Now Da Brat is a good pick. I can see some of her in Nic's style when she's goes into the aggressive voice/flow.

1. jay-z stole renegade from Royce

2. Cam'ron >>>> Jay-Z in 2010

How did he "steal" it though. No one has explained this yet.

Oh and Slang you truly just lost a quarter of your hip hop cred saying Cam over Jay in 2010...lol.

It's not that difficult Kev. This was originally a song with Em and Royce. Jay liked it, knocked royce off it, put it on his album and gave no credit.

Okay fair enough. But let me ask this. Em was apart of both songs correct? So why would Em rock with Jay knowing he "knocked" Royce off the song? Also was the original song with all three of them? Was the original song on a official album or just a single or something?

Please answer these questions.

The first version never came out. It wasn't like Jay Z pulled a gat on on Royce and strong armed him. The point isn't that jay literally stole something - but the song was a huge hit and it could have been Royce's big break, but since Jay liked it so much and was a bigger emcee in the game, he was basically able to get his way with the song.

Okay thats what I figured just wasn't sure. Thanks man fa real. I knew he didn't steal the shit, but thats what Jay haters i'm sure love to throw around. So was it the same beat and hook?

Yeah thats pretty jacked up...lol. So how did Em let this go down. Even though Jay's version is waaay betta. And this sounds like it was a Em song featuring Royce. Plus Em produced it so Em is the true culprit here not Jay. No point in wasting a dope ass beat like that on Royce when Hov could bless it.

Well em and royce had a falling out around this time.. don't know if it was because of this or this was a result of it.

Yeah I remember their fall out and this would be a damn good reason to cut a cat off. But honestly by the quality of the track it sounds like a song they just did together with no true intentions and was just sitting in the vaults somewhere.

smh @ way too many thing that KRob has said

Huh?

That song was recorded for what eventually became Death Is Certain. Royce gave Jay-Z his blessing to take the song, unaware that Jay-Z was going to leave Eminem's verses on it (which Royce had allegedly paid for in advance). The sound quality has nothing to do with anything, somebody got a shitty version and it spread like wildfire. It sounded much better in the studio, and in fact, there's a Kay Slay mixtape with the OG version on it in CDQ.

Also, most people think the Royce version is FAR superior. Just saying.

Don't waste your breath - Kev is a mainstream Jay stan

Good quality cut - the Royce version is at least as good as the Jay one. It's not wasting dude.

Well he didn't steal it. And only underground geeks and Jay haters would say its superior just saying.

"And only underground geeks and Jay haters would say its superior just saying."

lmao. That sounds like KJ saying that only Nas haters think Nastradamus isn't good
