Jay-Z's New Single Just Part of the Package

Wednesday, October 11, 2006
By: Michael Ivey


Jay-ZJay-Z's Just Blaze produced lead single 'Show Me What You Got' leaked to radio and Internet sites October 6, bolstering the buzz surrounding his forthcoming post-retirement LP, 'Kingdom Come'.

"I am overwhelmed with the initial record breaking response!! I am happy to be officially Back," said the emcee/president of Def Jam Records. According to the label, 'Show Me what you got' has over 16 million listeners and is already the number one most increased on the R&B/Hip Hop chart, debuting at the 39 bullet on the R&R/BDS Urban Chart. The song will officially be fed to radio October 16, the same day Jay-Z's F. Gary directed video, featuring NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick, debuts. Filmed in Monaco, the piece includes scenic shots taken from ground level and above.

There's more. Jay-Z's Global Express Tour, which morphed into an arm of the United Nations and MTV's 'Water For Life' campaign, is being documented and condensed into Diary of JAY-Z: Water for Life, which airs November 24, three days after 'Kingdom Come' hits retail. Photos and diary entrees, including those from Jay-Z's recent stop in Africa, are posted at mtv.com.

More? The mogul, and part owner of the NBA's New Jersey Nets, is featured in TNT's NBA related 'Let The Truth Be Told' ad campaign. Eight thirty second spots find Jay-Z sharing his thoughts on competition, talent, stardom and legacy, as he's chaffered around Manhattan. The campaign seeks to compare the journeys of world-class athletes and world famous entertainment moguls. Jay-Z's 'Let The Truth Be Told' ads began airing October 5 and will run out over the next few weeks leading up to his album release date. An extended director's cut of the interview will be available through TNT Overtime at NBA.com.

Well what can i say jay-z and just blaze are copy cats. Diddy has a song with the same sample as jay-z'new single. Puffy's track souds 10 times better and his lyrics are hotter and on beat. That is way more than i can say about that new jay-z song. Please listen to the song an puff's album then play then listen to jay-z's and tell me who trak and lyrics is better.

Evidently, jay's crew did not see the responses on this site, everybody know's this is where real hip hop headz go, well a majority of hip hop headz go, his new single isnt really that hot for a comeback joint, but for carlosncashville, it is typical and what i expected when it comes down to a rock head just one tracked all the way. The south got some spotlight, the mic was passed over to you all for you all to spit somethin' and get some recoginition in the game, but it is clear to see that when the mic is passed over to another region some of you are going to hate, and feel envy because the south has been unrecognized for a years until now, in which i am happy for the souths come up, but i think your pride is going to stifle you, because unlike nyc or the west we have opened up to listen to what you all are spittin, not only that we show love by putting certain artist on songs with us. But to show how naive you all are on that topic, many c*cky headed dirty south fanz take it like this " the east want us on the albums and in there video's so they can sell records, they dont care about us n*ggas down here, phuck dem east coast n*ggas!!" so what that shows me is if we open up and show love, we need you to make us hot so we are using you, or if we dont play any of your music we are hatin, so as far as trying to squash it, we cant because of your naive arrogance which will in turn cause bad karma to come you all's way. We dont worry because we show love to everybody, you got to remember nyc has be

you got to remember nyc has been through the stormy weather. This is like our second clash, we are experienced, the west is experienced but now you all must learn through experience how the music industry works. What they do is pass the mic around the country to rake in the dollars, they will publicize you on all music channels, they will market you correctly, until you all go pop, and when that happens, after they leave you all of your guts stuffed tight with shyt!!! they clean the table and pass the mic to someone else. Then you all starve, because you get played out to them after a while, when record sales only focus on one region. The only people that make it hot in this game are jay z, ludacris, young jeezy, nas, snoop dog, ice cube, because they have national appeal, they dont give a damn about an indie fa real, that's why i always say dont go by record sales go by the streetz in every city not just your own, true indeed one hood is different from the other, but dumb ass boneheads only promote there own when they dont learn about anothers. One thing about people from nyc we venture out of our hometown and learn everything, where as in a lot of states especially alabama where i am at now, many dont leave the state to see shyt!! but yet in still are going to tell you how it goes down in your own city!! please stop the hate!!! dont spread that cancer!!!!
Posted by BigO
And i do respect the south all my family is down here, remember everybody up north is related to people down here, but the dayz of all that i am from such n such is played out, you'll get your ass seriously drug across the floor poppin shyt in the wrong place at the right time. When we put m.c's on a joint with us, it is because we are opening up not hatin'. One to tha dirty!!

Jay z is wacc he dont hav his own style he has evrybody elses...swagga jacc lol

^^^nobody cares bout this site 16 millon out of what maybe 500 people on this site lol think bout it
Posted by TimBO
Homie dont be mad cuz im telln the truth hahaha
Posted by TimBO
I dont think so timbo, this site holds a lot of weight, impact is based on a few not a majority, example: house of congress is made up of a minut group of people not a majority, but a minut, small, very, very small handful that influences the country, a lot of artist look at this site and gather input, trust me on that!!!

are you guys letting us hear it or not because we are waiting put it on the enternet at least . Thank you

I wanna say to wu4life you got one of the best c.d collection's i've seen you is wu-tang fo' real and im really not the biggest jay-z fan but cam'ron is a nursery rapper he alway's was and he is alway's will be and im really looking forward to buck the world young buck is one of the best rapper's from down south but jay-z is gonna come back and put a little more flow back in the game.
Posted by iron boy
The south is always gonna be on top of rap.. The eastcoast is just full of haters.. Thats all they do over here is hate.. Damn the south show love to their rappers even tho they cant rap as good.. Jay-z is like the only rapper on the east that cares about the game beside the mosdef kweli, and the roots and is getting hated on...haha let me see your favorite rapper go on a world tour..

Carlosncashville says: man, i dont know! its aight! i dont know what yall see in nas to think he is oohh soo great! he koo, but he defiantly aint on my top list. He aint even in the same league as hov. I mean, he smart and wise and everything if thats what u wanna call it. But all i hear is big words. He puts to much into tryna sound all smart and clever. Id rather it just sound natural. Like i said he aight... But buck said it best on the song he did with g-unit called "dont bother me," when he said.. "n*ggas down here dont listen to nas!" cuz we dont! nas the type that'll read a book and brag cuz he read that book! lol. Now see carlos you have been hatin the east for a while, you need to go back and see what nas was saying for real, your the type of A**hole that dont want the best for his people, you would rather sedate them with the bullshyt, really you wanna play the role of the devil!! whether he reads a book and spits knowledge its positive, on top of that listening to what he was saying, each sentence made since, a matter of fact anytime you can make a cohesive unit between history and hip hop like krs one you got something fo real, i dont even wanna say that all people in the south dont like knowledge, cause that is not true, but the ones that dont stand out just like you and represent that bullshyt that fits into the stereotype that many people from the north and west think about the south. So i would not even present myself in this fashion publicly makin asanine remarks about a city, o

So i would not even present myself in this fashion publicly makin asanine remarks about a city, or person because he is from somewhere other than the south. You still got that bullshyt, wackass, childhood anger about that kid from ny that visited you or your family when you was a kid, get up off of that bullshyt, and also on here you were on jay dyck and now you are trying to hate!!! stop spreadin that cancer!!! region hater!!! the south is doing there thing now i am with that, just like the east, everybody from the south aint hot though, but people like nas and jay-z didn't get to the top because people thought they was wack, hater!!!!

I feel you cuz (bmore). Jay did his thing, does his thing and will always do his thing. Big homie paved the way, and even if you don't think his sh*t is rockin, you still gotta respect dude. Jay's my n*gga....oh, yeah and i am too, very tired of all this dumb ass sh*t, like snapin and shoulder leanin and chicken noodle soupin too, for that matter. Let's respect the man for what he's worth...over 300 mill.

Yo i heard the new jay-z joint.....it's typical jay...throw the world a mediocre, decent made-for-radio single then hit the world with the fire!! trust me, jay's alum will be hot. The difference with jay though and the rest of these cats is, jay keep us waitin' to hear what he gonna say...his lyrics! most of these cats can't rap man,, they all beat. To hell with all this "crap" music, real hip-hop is back. Kingdom come!!! holla at the god...and i aint hatin on nobody cuz i'm from nc..and if anybody has been jumped over and hated on in the hip-hop world it's us nicer-than-nice, hard-working emcees in north carolina. The world will soon see though!
