What's Jay-Z's most notable/quoted bar or bars

[detcatinva]

jewels is cool to cop but more important are lawyer fee's

that line always stood out to me

 

[eternal soldier]

Do you fools listen to music or do you jus skim through it

I listen to music, Jay is overrated.

All subjective I suppose.I don't see how you can listen to Reasonable doubt,the blueprint,black album dynasty intro and not see greatness.

Bleek can be one hit away his whole career

Long as am alive he's a millionaire

I like some of jays shit I have a playlist on my ipod, I just wouldn't consider him as the goat like some people do.

oh and the black album is very overrated, the blueprint is by far his best album (to me)

Why is it overrated?

[bull6599]

From cats stackin four-somes

I'm loathesome

I scream out fuck the world then I throw something

Niggas scheming hard but fuck it, it's the god

I leave bullets lodged leave you leaning on your broad

The R-pump leave you fucked up in your car

Slumped, Kennedy-style with your memory out

What the fuck y'all want?

Daddio with the calico

Let the gaty blow leave you bleeding on your patio

Probably my favorite Jay verse ever...

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

If you force my hand I'll be forced to "draw"

I'm from where niggas pull your card, and argue all day about

Who's the best MCs, Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas?

 

[dwade206]

so far this thread proves jay is overrated, jay has some nice shit but people need to stop acting like jay is the god mc.

More rated than that fat obese fuck in your avi that ate himself to death.

FYI Reasonable Doubt > Capital Punishment

Fat obese? Damn bruh, you couldn't stop at fat?

 

[_Goldie_]

On a holiday playing "Strange Fruit"

If I'mma make it to a billi I can't take the same root

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Now the shit I don't write

Be the illest shit that's ever been recited in the game

Word to the hyphen in my name

J, A, Y, Dash, Hoffa

The past present nigga the future, proper

I was LITERALLY about to post this

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Survive the drought, I wish you well

 

[freethewave]

The greatest of all could be

"Niggaz dont get the picture till the weapons is drawn"

 

[C-PortTrapper]

When I was moving weight, back in 88

You was a ballerina I got the pictures I seen ya

 

[jonlakadeadmic]

lookin at your casket feelin' sarcastic

like look at him, still sleepin

 

[DarthRozay]

"I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one" has to be his most quoted

 

[trendsetta1030]

@ROZAYTABERNACLE‌

But I think ice said it 1st… lol

 

[trilladelic]

"can i hit in the mornin' without givin you half of my dough

& even worse if i was broke would you want mee?

Can I Live >>>

Bond with jewelers and watch for intruders

I stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist

Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous dreams of gettin' cream

"Let's do this!" It gets te-di-ous

So I keep one eye open like CBS

You see me stressed right?

 

[DNB1]

A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.

did jay write this?

Fam, he said that on Takeover...

Can't hate on Jay and not even know classic bars...

...or do you just skim through it?

lol your wrong a guy called mark twain wrote “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”

consider yourself educated, your welcome.

Considering the sentence started with a "a wise man told me" common sense would point to it being written by someone else...he still put it in a rap and it's still a great Jay quote.

Props on your google skills tho fam...for knowledge is power

 

[PanchoYoSancho]

Yeah you shining, but the only thing you're leaving out

You're a candle in the sun, that shit dont even out



I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in Hell

I am a hustler baby, I sell water to a whale

Bangin Blueprint right now. It's been too long.

 

[KLICHE]

The following could apply also to a Piggy Smalls notable/quotable bars thread

Jay-Z - "Squeeze 1st"

"That's why I, squeeze first ask quesions last. That's how most of these so called gangstas pass"

Jay-Z - "The Ruler's Back"

"Your reign on the top was shorter than leprechauns"

Jay-Z - "Real N&^%s"

"On the road to riches and diamond rings real n^%$ do real things"

Jay-z - "A Million and One Questions"

"All I got for chicks is hard d%$# and bubble gum"

Jay-Z - "Best Of Both Worlds" (Jay-Z & R.Kelly)

"Think About It While The Streets You Roam It's Don P And Army In The Fridge When You Get Home"

 

[Melqart]

"What's the difference between a 4.0 & a 4.6? About 30 to 40 grand cock sucker beat it"

Do them shits even got leather?

 

[mr.october]

While I'm watchin every nigga watchin me closely

My shit is butter for the bread they wanna toast me

I keep my head, both of them where they supposed to be

Hoes'll get you sidetracked then clapped from close feet

One of the best opening 4 bars ever especially with the the double entendres weaved in all thru. Not for nothing these lines made me fuck wit him much more especially when I grew up n understood what he meant. Words to live by as a single young man.
