jayz has been uppin common and talib lately, he was just on howard stern and shouted out underground rappers for not falling for what they stand for, in replace of money, and staying true to their roots...on the black album, moment of clarity is just givin people like talib and common some props...jay's actually getting at his fans tho (this is like the third diss to his fans), cause he's sayin he dumbs down his lyrics to make that money, to get a bigger fanbase...but i agree with it, cause mostly any artist with a huge fanbase, is gonna have like 75 percent of them being morons.

i dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars,
they critized me for it yet they all yell holla.
if skills sold truth be told,
i'll probaly be lyrically Talib Kweli.
truthfully i wanna rhyme like Common Sense...
but i did 5 mil, I ain't be rhymin like Common since...
when ya sense got that much in common,
and you been hustlin since u'r inception,
fukk perception... go with what makes sense.
since i know what i'm up against,
we as rappers must decide whats most important,
and i cant help the poor if i'm one of them,
so i got rich and gave back to them.. thats the win-win.
so next time you see the homie and his rims spin,
just know my mind is workin just like them... rims that is
