Feb 24, 2012 - Jay Z speaks the truth in this video..the one thing that pisses me off is when people say they love/hate a rap song and dont even take the time to understand and listen to the lyrics and meaning behind it.

Mar 9, 2012 - Ignorant people say Jay-Z is just copying Tupac. If he believes in the same ideals as Tupac, he has the right to spread such ideas. Now, I ask you. With Tupac dead, how are new hip-hop artists and new hip-hop listeners going to become aware of this poetic side of rap?? Somebody has got to keep the concept alive and reinforce the idea of rap as poetry, and that's where Jay-z comes in, as well as all other rappers that truly believe in this, independently of Tupac saying it first!! Love Tupac btw!

May 22, 2012 - hey if you like IT check out Sage Francis. He has been around for more than a decade now. He won the scribble jam battle in 2001 I believe. If you are following the occupy wall street movement check out this video watch?v=IFVp3ZKSsRM&feature=related It was put out a few years ago but still relevant.
