List of Jay-Z Subliminals (Complex Article)

"its like when niggas make subliminal records/If it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it"

I always considered this self-ether

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Jay a passive aggressive ass nigga...I wonder how he survived the streets

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

So what was the whole issue with the Clipse about?

 

[LurkdogAchilles]

LISTEN: “People Talkin’” (2000)

LYRIC: “But if you testing my life then, shit I gotta answer/Gotta cut off the cancer, young’n, pull your pants up/You getting too big for ya’ britches, you fucking with a dude that did it with digits”

TARGET: NAS

SHOTS FIRED? PROBABLY. Faced with a losing verdict on Hot97, a lot of Jay’s confrontational lyrics in the wake of the “Takeover”/”Ether” battle seemed aimed directly at God’s Son. This entire track qualifies as evidence of his inability to lose. Gracefully, that is.

this shit cant be talkin bout Nas, at least not the way they explained it. Takeover came out in 2001, and so did Ether. in 2000 the battle hadn't even happened

 

[CoolJoe]

^^^ They got the date wrong on that song, "People Talking" was a bonus track on the Unplugged album, and it was definitely going at Nas.

I didn't see "Thank You"....

And that "The Pressure's on but guess who ain't gone crack? Pardon me, I had to laugh at that." has always been one of my favorite subliminals.

 

[RickyRich]

jayz beefs r mad random . this nigga targets any random person . nigga dissed black eye peas really lol

 

[The_Man]

sublims are gay and so is jay, he sobs tears on the pillow when he fucks beyonce.

 

[Purr]

I don't know why he is so passive aggressive.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

i like catching subs when they first come out

 

[thedesolateone]

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Love, I don't get enough of it

All I get are these vampires and blood suckers

All I see are these niggas I made millionaires

Millin' about, spillin' they feelin's in the air

Has he made any other subs at anyone recently other than on Monster & the Baby Money line?

 

[BelovedAfeni]

that pump it up beat was far from a draw

the fuck outta here

im getting back on my grizzly

 

[CoolJoe]

This wasn't gay at all....

 

[JDSTAYWITIT]

Fuck complex .... They doo doo grits

 

[KrazySpade]

"Throwbacks, I threw 'em back, remember those, button-ups?

Young Hov, tell them ordinary Joe's button up"

Reminder-Blueprint3

shot at joe budden

kinda obvious but still pretty low key

 

[DR. JEK]

Joe Budden murk the fuck outta Jay over that pump it up beat. After that "Take some advice from him...dont come back" line referring to Micheal Jordans retirement as well as the way he flipped them basketball player lines, man he burned Jay on that.

 

[jayvon32]

so no one mention the line aimed at DMX on Takeover?

 

[dalyricalbandit]

so no one mention the line aimed at DMX on Takeover?

"Do not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you" ?????

lol i dont see anything possibly aim at X

I think he meant the alleged subliminal in "The Ruler's Back".

Specifically these lyrics.

"Here's a couple of jewels to help you get through your bid in prison

A ribbon in the sky, keep your head high

I, Young 'Vito, voice of the young people

Mouthpiece for hustlers - I'm back, motherfuckers

Your reign on the top was shorter than leprechauns

Y'all can't fuck with Hov', what type of X y'all on?"

The lyrics doesn't really make sense tho & nor is that a clear enough shot so it's hard to point that one out. Cuz by 2001 DMX was still one of the biggest rappers/actors out. Had "Who We Be", "We Right Here" & "Ain't No Sunshine" on heavy rotation as well as the flick "Exit Wounds" which did some numbers, but who knows..
