Wow!! I'm hearing that from a few of you..Kingdom Come was a lil too hyped up, coming from a BIG Jay fan, and Black Album was wayy better, but lyrically Jay still has it...Track 1-14 is just nice on here...Jay came thru for hip hop, and I said it before, I'll say it again, this is exactly what the industry needed.
"The game's fucked up
Nigga's beats is bangin, nigga your hooks did it
Your lyrics didn't,your gangster look did it
So I would write it if y'all could get it
Bein intricate'll get you wood, critic
On the internet, they like you should spit it
I'm like you should buy it, nigga that's good business..."

Come on now....Jay still got it, at least give it a shot, and stop being dickheads about commercial rap!


But last year alone I grossed 38 mill'
I know I ain't quite 38 but still
The flow so (Special) got a (38) feel
The real is back, hehehehe


Now these baby ballers
toy rappers
Calling out my name to bring the boy backwards
Shooting air balls at the basket
What you call money I paid more in taxes
I got crowned came down in Africa
Down in Nigeria do you have any idea
Sold out shows in Seoul Korea
Jo-berg, Dublin, Tanzania
Lunch with Mandela, dinner with Cavalli
Still got time to give water to everybody
Everybody fall back
Y'all rapping I'm reenacting
CNN you see it's accurate
ESPN see me in action
Monday nights when the half ends
When your ten years in holla back then

If you not signed, what does that tell you? Underground < Commercial in my opinion.
Underground has decent lyrics, and I'm not talking about these wack commercial cats, who make up snap dances and shit, I'm talking about the real commercial emcees...The Game, Snoop, Xzibit, Jay,Nas, Common,Kanye,Talib, Beanie, Cassidy,Lil Wayne
Some good lyrical heads, who can make songs. That's the difference between commercial and underground. Underground can't make songs. They lyrics, but anyone can spit a hot 16, can you make a hot track that appeals to the people as well?

You know why they call The Projects a project, because it's a project!
An experiment, where in it, only it's objects
And the object for us to explore our prospects
And sidestep cops on the way to the top - yes!
As kids we would daydream, sittin on our steps
Pointin at cars like yeah that's our sex
Hustlers, prophets, made our eyes stretch
Swanson got the spot, shit we started our trek
Some of us made it, most of us digressed
In the name of those who ain't made it my progress
