Reasonable Doubt will be talked about for decades. I love when people make the comment about "jay is just a businessman" because whats the fucking alternative? lol. you have to be broke and starving to be real to the streets? LOL!!!! remember that he comes from one of the worst projects in brooklyn. Ive personally walked into marcy projects, and its not disneyland. Jay built everything he has from nothing. if any of you built an empire as sucessful as his, you'd be laughing at everyone that refuses to recognize that hip hop is many things to many people, but the business and industry that allows all these other so called "real rappers" to eat right now, was built on his ideas about branding and marketing. Jay is a genius, and those that know hip hop's full history know this.

in 2038 people will still be breaking down d'evils for the lyrics alone. Even rakim and krsone have recognized jay as one of the greatest ever.


This shit is wicked on these mean streets
None of my friends speak
We're all trying to win, but then again
Maybe it's for the best though, 'cause when they're seeing too much
You know they're trying to get you touched
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out couldn't understand the
mechanics
And the workings of the underworld, granted
Nine to five is how to survive, I ain't trying to survive
I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot
Life ills, poison my body
I used to say 'fuck mic skills,' and never prayed to God, I prayed to
Gotti
That's right it's wicked, that's life I live it
Ain't asking for forgiveness for my sins, endz
I break bread with the late heads, picking their brains for angles on
all the evils that the game'll do
It gets dangerous, money and power is changing us
And now we're lethal, infected with D'Evils...

We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense
Who could ever forsee, we used to stay up all night at slumber parties
now I'm trying to rock this bitch to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears, know she's wishing we were still
close
Don't cry, it is to be
In time, I'll take away your miseries and make 'em mine, D'Evils...

My flesh, no ****** could test
My soul is possessed by D'Evils in the form of diamonds and lexuses
The exorcist, got me doing skits like Homie
You don't know me, but the whole world owe me
Strip!
Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fucking life
So now I'm down for whatever, ain't nothing nice
Throughout my junior high years it was all friendly
But now this higher learning got the Remy in me
Liquors invaded my kidneys
Got me ready to lick off, mama forgive me
I can't be held accountable, D'Evils beating me down, boo
Got me running with guys, making G's, telling lies that sound true
Come test me, I never cower
For the love of money, son, I'm giving lead showers
Stop screaming, you know the demon said it's best to die
And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify, D'Evils...

ok, so a couple of people that are really into it might be listening to him in 20 years. but not many. as i said, he aint john lennon, he didnt change nothing, and to be honest, i find most of his music shit. (opinion)
on a semi related note rip john lennon, 30 years today. another amazing talent wasted cos the yanks.....
ah im not gonna bother.


edit* that was very tounge in cheek before "yall" as you like to say, get vexed.

[wubstep]

I don't listen to Jay now, definitely wont be in 20 years.

Hip Hop still has a beating heart on both sides of the pond.
Sollilaquists of Sound are probably one of the groups ive been most excited about discovering recently

[BLAHBLAHJAH]

I can save the UK
By stating
USA
Is only
400 years old
Therefore
You're British too
Bad teeth
Or being a fat bastard
"You decide"

Too bad the most common ancestry is German

It really is. but its the same old difference of opinion ting.

Skinnyman is ok but his flow and annunciation is whack as hell. Most of the decent tunes on council estate of mind are down to good beats and nice sampling
