no he says i want to rhyme like common since, you need to listen to the song to understand it. you only quote half the bar then it will seem like a diss but thats no the whole thing, their is about 4 bars related to that line

it didnt seem much like a diss

i think that when jay-z said he wanted to retire after this he didnt wanna go back on his word.......but he then noticed that this was a retarded idea....thus making the diss, and waiting for common to come back at him......thus giving him a reason to come out of retirement.........thats my explanation.....by the way i think jay-z is overrated

^^^ 'Zactly

The Fuck ya'll talking 'bout, that ain't a dis, He's giving Com's dap. Listen to the damn song

He starts off talking about how it's more that just dope lyrics to make it.....

"if skills sold truth be told,
i'll probaly be lyrically Talib Kweli"/

He said if it was just about that then he would be trying to be as complex with the rhyme as Common is but he had to dumb down his lyrical skills for mass appeal....

"truthfully i wanna rhyme like Common Sense...
but i did 5 mil, I ain't be rhymin like Common since/"

He ends it buy saying fuck the so calles "hip-hop purist" and critical acceptance who don't understand hard life..he found a way to make good and live comfertable so he's riding with that.....

"when ya sense got that much in common,
and you been hustlin since u'r inception,
fuck perception... go with what makes sense"/


I dont know how the fuck you turned a verse of him showing props into a dis?

And he's gone on record in interviews as saying that Talib and Com are his favorite emcees..hince the name drop...

Jay-Z is at least one of the best emcee's ever, those that disagree jus don't bother payin' the attention the guy needs to be understood... Ever since his beef wit Nas people be sayin' dis an dat "ohhhhhhhh, Nas is better"... Nah! Jay got mad skillz, watch his wordplay on Reasonable dout an Dynasty... he ain't playin' (he retiring) but he'll still be around...

"Nigga, I'll kill ya, commit suicide then kill ya again"- Jay-Z
