at the end of "bring it back", wayne claims to be the "best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired"
who is he reffering to?

LoL...this is old....it's Jay-Z...the time this song came out...it was right after JAy retired...he's reffering to Jay-Z.

but rakim aint retire did he

HEll no...and he neva will

then what is Wayne talking about the best rapper retiring for?

i thought it was jay-z too
but notice that he says best rapper ALIVE, not best active rapper
jay-z's still alive, so maybe "retired" really means "died"

"Best rapper alive since the best rapper retired"

^^retire means to resign or step down from something...not dieing,

It was jay-z he was referring as "since best rapper retired"...and Wizzie was talkin bout himself when he said 'best rapper alive"

SO...
"best rapper alive(WIzzie) since best rapper retired(Jay)

Hope that explains it.

no it doesnt, if jay was the best rapper alive, and wayne was second, then jay retired, wayne would still be the 2nd best alive because jay's still alive... w/e

HE's the best alive since the best retired.....meaning Pac and Big(or anyone dead) may be better than Wizzie...but they dead..

He just sayin...since JAy-Z retired....he's now the best one alive.... in the game.

ahhhhhh hes talking bout jay basic and simple.....lol
