yeah but thats reasonable doubt. thats not the blueprint; Jay-z is the blashemous biter from hell in my book. he jacks and jacks and jacks- blatantly, i might add- so often that it becomes difficult to praise his rare triumphs from his failures. so, take "girls, girls, girls" for example. he turned a gorgeous beat into a complete mess of a song, recycling an already annoying hook and destroying the song. then he jacks tupac COMPLETELY, and uses a title from an eminem song (who i think may have lifted that title from someone himself.)on the same track....? how can you possibly respect him? oh, and has anyone heard the "new" diss track from em, 50, and busta? they jacked hail mary... em took the verses and all. yeah, such great mc's, right? so great , in fact, that they shamelessly hum on the sacks of both B.I.G and Pac in a tired attempt at... what? what are they trying to accomplish? that goes for mos def too.... i'm gettin tired of all this biting. c'mon. how you gonna have an album full of jacked lines and beats and complain about heads like puffy? sampling is one thing, because there is an art to doing it well; you just cant do the same things with lines and verses. all thse cats supposedly 'mc's', but cant write they own words?
