Game On.
Hov knows lacrosse? On Khaled’s new single, Jay raps: “Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my drawstring/ Wrong sport boy, you know you soft as a lacrosse team”. Major League Lacrosse caught wind of the lyric and challenged Shawn to 60 seconds on the field. Don’t want no one minute man?
“Lacrosse is often called the fastest sport on two feet. Players are on the field dodging and shooting balls at over 100 miles per hour. With that said we don’t think Jay-Z knows what he’s talking about when he calls Lacrosse ‘soft’ I can guarantee you it is anything but a ‘soft’ sport. Mr. Carter would not last one minute on a lacrosse field during a match and he is more than welcome to come to any of our games and try.”
Trolling at it finest
That butt hurt statement kinna just reiterates Hov’s comment IMO
so cause they stood up for themselves their butt hurt? that’s not even what jay meant tho
I disagree, lacrosse isn’t one of the big 4 or 5 primetime sports in the u.s (if you count nascar) what do they lose by responding? Fans?
Haha…I was gonna say he cant even rap normal lines anymore…but then I remembered, lacrosse, the native American sport truly isn’t all that soft
Lacrosse way tougher than ball. It’s basically like hockey, you can check and fight.
Word, the same people that were scalping the pilgrims, didNT play soft sports….especially comparing it tho basketball
it was a lame diss I get it lacrosse is considered a Canadian sport and you wanna throw shots at drake but this one was weak cuz ppl been saying drake’s soft since 2010… and that song is lame
You’re the so called “G.o.a.t” couldn’t find something more original?
nas could of lol
you need to stop thinking about drake
How is lacrosse considered a “Canadian sport”?? Never heard that one, It was invented by American Indians and is pretty damn popular in most all East Coast major universities! This is where the stretch comes in of people attempt to analyze ever Jay-Z lyric as a dis towards Drake now, and vise versa. #JUSTSAYIN
jay always talking about shit he knows nothing about
The owners of Canadian hockey arenasinvented a reduced-size version of the game, called box lacrosse,
pretty sure jay was referencing the fact that lacrosse is a white ppl sport and that white ppl are generally soft. soft as in not bout that life not soft as in dont have balls
‘soft as is in not bout that life’? Which life, the one where he’s living in his $10 million+ penthouse, doesn’t have to lift a finger and can buy anything he wants? FOH! White people are soft? Explain, cuz you sound racist.
racism never has and never will have anything to do with a black person calling a white person “soft”.
Sigh once again fellas it’s n just entertainment
Says the guy who’s going on tour with his wife. This guy is so out of touch with what’s ‘hard’ these days. Basketball is ballet compared to lacrosse
Hove can’t even run a mile without stopping with his out of shape ass… He to busy doing old folks stuff vacationing and all that rich shit . shouldn’t of said that lacrose is soft, ha
it’s just a rap lyric, niggas. damn. and why the hell would jay z (who doesn’t play lacrosse) go accept a challenge to ‘last on the field.’ nigga prolly don’t even know the rules. it’s JUST a rap lyric.
sensitive thugs, y’all all need hugs.
one of Jay’s worst features should have left this one alone
facts
“It’s only entertainment!” – HOV
Key words soft as a lacrosse team!!! A team of rich kids who are SOFT dickheads. Let me tighten my draw stringsBoxing !!! Wrong sport your as soft as a lacrosse team. Bye the way good promotion on jays end for lacrosse!!!
lmaoo
yea kids in my highschool that didnt make any other sport played lax…sick lax…fags
Why is Jay Zzzzzzz still rapping? Go retire somewhere American corporate gangsta. Btw American Gangster was his last great album
Lol @ Nathaniel. Niggas get truly in their feelings when you talk about HOV. Yooooo calm down, he’s just flesh and blood! Yak panties be gettin knotted like shit!
It’s because lacrosse is seen as a ‘white rich privileged’ sport. The kids are “soft” and drive their parents Land Rovers….
