Jay Z's freestyle puts freestylers to shame

[Thedy B]

This freestyle right here is one of the SICKEST freestyles I've ever heard and it's why Jay-Z is on top of his game. When I heard it on Grammy night, I was shaking my head then. What do you think? And can you spit like Jay? Is this really a freestyle?



Here are the lyrics:
I been crushin the buildin since Izod socks
I'm so independent sh.. i might buy Koch
I might not stop
Places to cop, 76 floors you can call me the Doc

Inspired by Boesky, got my chariots of fire
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I'm tired
Build me up break me down to build me up again
They like "Hov we need you back so we can kill ya as. again"
Hov got flow, though he's no Big and Pac, but he's close
How I'm 'posed to win? They got me fighting ghosts...

Same sword the knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats only half if they like you
That aint even the half what they might do
Dont believe me ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas, see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide is a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles, ni..as sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you, you ghetto
So its tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now
Now the question is, "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at [all]?"

Everybody wanna be the King then shots ring
You layin on your balcony with holes in your dream
Or you Malcolm X'd out, get distracted by screams
Everybody get your hand off my jeans!
Everybody look at you strange say you changed
Uhh! Like you work that hard to stay the same
Uhh! Game stays the same the name changes
So its best for those to not overdose on being famous
Most kings get driven so insane
That they try to hit the same vein that Kurt Cobain did
??No dangers, so shameless??
Invited to the intersanctum of yo chambers
??Low chained em as the enemies approach??
So raise ya draw bridge and drown em in the moat
And the Spirit I'm evokin
**Mumbles some BS** Hold on...

Everybody screamin they want the old Hov
But the new improved Hov hit like Albert Pujols
Everybody wanna hear me talk that money like Phil Rizzuto
But my mind is on Pluto
Bills that I do fold, i now invest on
Tryna find some loopholes in the IRS
As where I used to have a few hoes I am just
Concentratin on makin a new Hov through sex
I've awaken just in time to school those putos
Tryna follow in my shoes wit jewels froze
Better adhere to this text 'fore you go
Broke, spendin more than you've accrued on silly baguettes
I know silly begets, silly you'll learn on your own
At least my conscience is clear, I'm no longer steering you wrong
Aint nothing wrong with baguettes after you get a home
Take care of your home, you can go back and **Ugh!**

I'm getting courted by the bosses,
The Edgars And Doug Morris-es-es
Jimmy I's and Lyors-es its
Gotta be more than the choruses
They respecting my mind now
Just a matter of time now
Operation: Takeover Corporate
Makeover offices-es-es then takeover all of it
Please may these words be recorded
To serve as testimony that i saw it all before it
Came to fruition, sort of a preminition
Uncontrollable, hustler's ambition
Alias, SUPERSTITION, like Stevie
THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL, like my lady, right BB
Saw it all before some of yall thought I was crazy maybe
Like a fox I'm cagey, Ah Ah!
The more successful, the more stressful
The more and more I transform to Gordan Gekko
In the race to a billion got my face to the ceiling
Got my knees on the floor plz Lord forgive him
Has he lost his religion, is the greed gon' get him?
He's having heaven on earth, will his wings still fit him?
I got the Forbes on my living room floor
And I'm still talkin to the poor, ni..a I want more
TIME's most influential, was impressive
'Specially since, I wasnt in the artist section
Had me with the builders and the titans
Had me right with Rupie Murdoch
Billionaire Boys and some dudes you never heard of
Word up on Madison Ave, is I'm a Cash cow
Word down on Wall Street homie, you get the cash out
IPO Hov no need for reverse merger
The boy money talk no need to converse further
The baby blue Maybach like I own Gerber
Boardroom I'm liftin ya skirt up

[Mr. Scratch - Way Upstairs Productions]

That's more like the old Jay

[Matt Legacy]

That's not a freestyle he said that on lost with coldplay

[J. Batts 14k]

MAYNE!!! Thedy, we know this is on the coldplay joint. but some of it I hadn't heard...but whatever...this cat is speaking adult hip hop. thing that i don't understand from young folk and hip hop lovers...everything grows, everything is suppose to grow up...that's all this dude is doing. AND I LOVE IT!! hip hop is like what, 30 sumin or so...it's time to grow up. and i think HOV respresnts that exactly in this rhyme...

shoot i could speak about this all day..but ... i'll leave it there.

[Thedy B]

wow, you said a mouthful right there!!! I love what you said.

[Absoulute 100]

wow... thats real... noooooobody can touch him...AT ALL

[Thedy B]

Right I know it's on a song with Coldplay now but is the whole thing on it?

[The Blue Method]

And that's why he's the Jiggaman.

[qdaiman]

everything jay z does is in his head he never writes it down...he's talking over the head of most of the game...it's like he doesn't even speak the same language as street level dudes...this is truel corporate hip hop. i like it cause he talks about the true money making every name drop is a brand, i've heard most of it before but it's always refreshing to hear him talk not so much about money but money making that is legal and lasting.

jay is definitely on another level
