Roc_Representa Says: June 15th, 2007 at 1:21 am > ^ Which one? I’m tempted to say both. But I was specifically talking about the one on Big Spender. It’s just so…corny. Like every part of it, the flow and the lyrics. |

Ivan Says: June 15th, 2007 at 2:10 am Nahshon: Now you’re making me feel uploading it wasn’t worth doing either..lol Roc_Representa: Yeah it is a bit corny, and plus I believe he’s infatuated with Jim Jones. He won’t stop throwing subliminal shots. Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ and now this one. Proof: “We Roc-A-Fella / ‘We Fly High’-er than weather” & “Billin…’Ballin’, y’all still crawlin’” |

esbee Says: June 15th, 2007 at 2:42 am Um I’m convinced that either: a. Ppl just don’t want like Jay-Z anymore or b. You’ve never liked him to begin with and for me b is fine but Jay killed it in my opinion..there’s nothing wrong with that song as far as I’m concerned. What’s corny? The man’s been rapping about the same things when you thought he was untouchable till now.. |

Anonymous Says: June 15th, 2007 at 4:36 am I have to co-sign with esbee on this one. The flow was still typical Hov level. It wasn’t anything like overpowering, but you shouldn’t do that on features anyway, so… |

ian Says: June 15th, 2007 at 11:55 am Esbee and Anon are right, there’s nothing wrong with that Hov verse on “Big Spender” and I say that as someone who was severely disappointed by his work on the Kingdom Come album. |

Were Read 2 Def Says: June 15th, 2007 at 2:05 pm on Big Spender Jay coulda came hard on his verse (no homo), but the chorus was tight & the sample & beat was hardbody (nullus). |

esbee Says: June 15th, 2007 at 3:00 pm but read 2 def, how hard did you want jay to come on there? Spit about shooting folks up? When you spit on a track you have to stay true to the message the track is trying to pass across, Jay was effective in doing that. If it was on some street/gutter whatever I can see that.. |

Walter Says: June 15th, 2007 at 3:39 pm The name of the track is “Big Spender.” Obviously, he’s gonna rap about buying out bars. |

Nahshon Says: June 15th, 2007 at 11:17 pm Ivan: I appreciate the upload. I’ve always told myself I wouldn’t become that critic thats always dissin’ everything. Damn, I’m turning into my pops. Ps-Ivan is holdin’ it down! |

MUSIC FAN Says: September 5th, 2007 at 4:59 pm Has Def Jam lost their fuckin’ mind?”I’m still a music fan: I love all forms of Hip Hop. I hear a lot of people complaining about the quality of recent Hip Hop singles, so I’ve got one question for you: Why the FUCK is Def Jam not running to put out that Freeway & Jay-Z Big Spender joint as a video? Isn’t Jayonce talking about ” nick to a dime a dime to some millions a brick to the roc the roc to some building??? ballin yeah dammit u gonna be crawling if u dont put out that dam video!The Roc has crumbled so why not try to rebuild it? Is Def Jam purposely trying to hold the Roc back? Are they only keeping the Roc to make sure Jay sticks around? Then Freeway should leave with him to Columbia, I bet they would put out a video. I’ve heard it being spun everywhere I’ve traveled in the past month - Atlanta, Jersey, New York, even L.A. Since when has Freeway gotten this much love outside of Philly? I’m starting to wonder if the guys in those offices have any idea of what the fuck they’re doing or what fans want. It’s time to bring the Roc back! With Big Spender Freeway can be the one to do it. Def Jam & Roc-A-Fella: Get on your job! |
