Jay-Z Airs Out Uncle At Barclays

“Nigga, get out! You never gon be better than LL Cool J.”

Jay continued his concert run last night at the Barclays Center with his fourth show. At the 1:20 mark, he reflects on a time his uncle doubted his talent from a demo tape. Think he’s still on the list?

  6. veesky says:

    I think you have to look at his Uncle’s comment in the context of where LL was rap career wise at the time…and where Jay was at the time i.e. a young kid with a dream, playing his probably unpolished and mediocre demo for his Uncle

  7. Dr. Dre's Ass says:

    Jay you mad ?

  8. slicksick says:

    @veesky
    now you just sound pathetic

  9. sway-z says:

    Hov must be ready to battle LL saying that, cause everybody know how quick Cool J takes shit out of context. That nigga probably feels like “you still not better than me nigga” and might have a diss out by tomorrow

  10. wow says:

  11. mac DIESEL says:

  12. Ten Macaroni Necklaces says:

    LL’S KNUCKLE GAME >>> JAY-Z’S TAE-BO!!!! HA!!!!

    ^

    lmao.

  13. Inside I'm Ice!, Outside I'm Lava! says:

    I believe Jay is gonna use my tag name in a song & R/R will holla @ me for a job!

  14. ceaze says:

    yall dont even appreciate all this man has done for this culture….u honestly think ll can rap circles around jay-z??? U must be delusional.

  15. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Ask that burglar that broke into LL’s home he would tell you Jay doesnt want it with Mr. Smith.

  16. Peekay says:

    and then he goes on to perform one of his worst songs ever……

  17. haaaaa says:

    lol ^^^^^^^ but jay taebo can beat one on one

  18. Bawse says:

    Why do y’all come to a JayZ post, to slander the nigga? LL a living legend, cool. But he NOT rapping circles around nobody these days. Stop your noise.

  19. Lulu says:

    LL is an inspiration of Hov hence the Goat idea!
    Love em both and equal as Elders and wayshowers!

  20. floridaboy says:

    @ chilltrhills- how is tht subliminal dumbass.. smh HE OPENLY SAID LL COOL J

  21. Tbones says:

    @MacDiesel, LL’s knuckle game greater than Jigga’s Tae Bo. LMFAO.

  22. Me says:

    all he saying is “I’ve passed LL but I don’t wanna diss him.” He had to say LL in order to tell his story and make his point. If another rapper, other than LL, has been big at the time, his Uncle would’ve said that person’s name instead.

  23. Yacht says:

    Sheesh. Jay is hip hop. His value will never drop, he has invested so much into the culture. His legacy will pay out triple when he is gone, enjoy these moments. Less hate, dig deeper into the context in which he puts these words together.

  24. bigHUNT says:

    jay was not taking shots at at LL you fools love to instigate shit, WTF are you talking about @Mac diesel? usually im with you but you kinda jumped the gun tonight bra. ANYWAY, jay was just saying how his uncle didnt even give him chance or heard him out. At the time LL was first getting hot, so since him and jay are about the same age of course his uncle compared them. but if you ask me Jayz surpassed LL long ago, sorry ya’ll

  25. Loaded says:

    but he still ain’t better than LL Cool J lmao

    sure he’s richer but LL is a better rapper

  26. LooksLikeWealth says:

    Jay’s uncle name must be Uncle Ruckus

  27. Space Ghost says:

    Y’all love to hate…..Be real with yourselves. L.L. did not beat Canibus. L.L. simply was more SUCCESSFUL than Canibus. He certainly can’t see Jay-Z. The “Takeover” was superb! Mob Deep died shortly after. Nas came back and Jay only released a freestyle in response to Ether. Let’s not pretend like Hova hasn’t put a couple careers on hold. Duuuh

  28. ROTFLMAO says:

    to the @Loaded dude, son. when people mention top 5 , its mosty, not always, but mostly, 2pac, Biggie, Jay-z, NAS, Eminem, i never hear LL in anybodys top 5, maybe top 20 or 10 but very rarely do i see him in top 5.

    now as far as physically fit rappers, LL gets the top spot in that, along with 50 cent : P

  29. 82 baby...90's teen says:

    who is dissing LL you stupid kids…

    His uncle is telling he he wont be as good as LL cus LL at the time was one of the top rappers…if you think jay z didnt pass LL in the rap game your trippin…

  30. chills thrills says:

    song for song LL would,,,mash duke in a clash,,,money wise,,,the brooklyn jay,,got it on smash,,,but dont think for a minute L aint holdin,,on the ,performance side,,LL would roast,,,brooklyn jay,,,,,the bitchs,,,,,LL again,,,,on that, Street shit,,,brooklyn jay,,,,LL neva sold drugs in his life he did chores,,,,bowing out gracefully from this rap shit,,,,LL,,,,,,,can brooklyn jay,, bow out gracefully hmmm,,,
