apparently bol or byron crawford or whatever his fuckin' name is had something to say about that bullshit jay-z dis song that jadakiss wack-ass was featured on. not as funny as this review but it had its moments:
The one good thing about Lil Wayne's new Jay-Z dis song
Lil Wayne's new Jay-Z dis record would be perhaps the worst dis record that I'm familiar with, except for the fact that he quite literally threatens to kidnap Beyonce, and so I guess that puts it a notch ahead of some other long since forgotten half-assed dis record. Maybe that time B.o.B. dissed Odd Future? (I'm not imagining that, right?)
This is just that kind of reckless, disrespectful behavior that's been sorely missing from hip-hop ever since the days of Jay-Z vs. Nas, way back when I was in college. That beef was just getting interesting to me when Jay-Z decided to put the kibosh on it. Supposedly, Jay-Z's mother heard the song where Jay-Z brags about having banged Nas' baby mother in the backseat of the littlest homey's own car and left a used condom on the baby's car seat, and told him he needed to cut that shit out, before somebody ended up getting shot. Back in those days, people were still a little bit raw over what Suge Knight did to Biggie and 2Pac. It had only been about four years, at that point. At this point, that shit was longer ago than a motherfucker. There's probably kids starting college this week who never even heard of Biggie and 2Pac. They certainly dress like it.
*cracks a PBR like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino, and makes an angry facial expression at the Asian family next door*
I figure we're at the point now where the few rappers who are still a high priority at a major label (i.e. the main people who would need to dis somebody, for album promotion purposes) can pretty much say what they want about each other without worrying about getting shot. All of them are either too old or too rich or both to run that kind of risk. Lil Wayne did just spend a year on Rikers Island for having a gun, but apparently all he ever did with it was jerk off onto it. That's how they knew it was his - it had his DNA all over it. But IIRC it didn't have any bullets in it or anything. As Dallas Penn once pointed out at XXL, back in the dark ages, rappers are always getting caught with guns that don't even have any bullets. They're just wearing them tucked into their pants, like fashion accessories. I'm assuming that observation was in reference to Lil Wayne, because everything Dallas Penn ever wrote for XXL was in reference to Lil Wayne - or, as DP liked to call him, Lil Wang. #pause
When Lil Wang was released from the pokey, it wasn't clear to me just how he planned to go for however long he was required to go without gorging himself on weed and sizzurp and whatever else he used to be on in order to avoid having to go back to prison. But now I'm starting to believe he really has become a teetotaler. Since he's been out, I haven't heard anything about Lil Wayne that sounded like the kind of shit you would typically hear about someone with a crippling sizzurp addiction. I know he's been touring extensively enough that he seems to appear here in St. Louis about as often as I change my shorts (i.e. about once every few weeks), all without pulling a Sly Stone or anything. Which has to be difficult. I know I can hardly fly from here to Chicago (which takes about 45 minutes) without having to take the next day off from work. Granted, I don't have Lil Wayne's physique. Nullus. Also, I'm not "on paper," as they say here in the shanty town. I can get get as fucked the fuck up as my income from the BGM will allow, which is to say kinda.
Jay-Z never did seem like the kind of guy who would shoot someone just for talking shit about his wife on a rap song. At best, he might send Memphis Bleek to shoot you, on his way to pick up a blossoming onion from Outback Steakhouse (and then try to take credit for it after the fact, natch). Why run the risk of having to go to jail, like these dumbass southern rappers, when he's got like half a million dollars. But I'm not even sure what you'd have to say about Beyonce to warrant that kind of reaction. I know Cam'ron has mentioned Beyonce on a song or two without suffering any consequences or repercussions. Unless the Illuminati can somehow give people irritable bowel syndrome. Jay-Z apparently even refers to Beyonce as a bitch on Watch the Throne[2]. Deep down, he must harbor some animosity towards her having to do with the fact that he looks like a camel, and so he doesn't feel like he deserves to be loved. Stop me if I'm getting too deep here. At any rate, you get the sense that this is open season on both Jay-Z and Beyonce. No Boutros.
If only Lil Wayne had the talent, or the drugs (as the case may be), to come up with anything other than how he's a grown-ass blood, and how he's gonna kidnap Beyonce, and how he's gonna take Jay-Z out on a date. If this were his mid to late '00s heyday, he would have at least found a way to incorporate one of his patented toilet/shit metaphors - which would have added an entirely different element to the mix!
[1] I guess as long as they aren't planning to shoot anyone, it's for the best that these guns are unloaded. They could end up having to go to prison for accidentally shooting themselves, like Plaxico Burress.
[2] I'm not familiar enough with that album that I know any of the lyrics, because I haven't listened to it very much, because it isn't any good.
