I've heard this crap about 20 times in the last week. It says nothing really. Yeah, Jay took some lyrics and used em. But out of, what, 9 albums, does using 20 phrases from other rappers, most of whom you have good rapport with make you a biter? It would be different if Jay never showed respect or anything towards those individuals, but in this case, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Then, Camron just had to take that Swagger Jacker mix and put his voice all over it and put that out in conjuction with diss track in order to boost up sales and publicity for Dame Dash's (Jay's previous partner in Rocafella) new label.
The mix itself is nice, but Camron putting his voice all over it is just fuckin annoying.

(Jan 24 06, 09:06)Yeah, Inever listened to Andre 3000, but I dig the slam poetry scene.
Anyone checkout The Last Poets? ...dandy! I don't listen to much hip-hop-related, but I dig Saul as he is in a league of his own. Some of the slam poets out there haven't got a major record contract to do cool music. too bad because so many poets are a hell of a lot better than what is deemed hip-hop and rap....
