I don’t know where I’d place Jay-Z in my pantheon of MCs, but I do know that all these kids tryina tell me that Lil Wayne is the best one doin it now just need to listen to Mr. Carter. There’s no comparison. At all. Hov CRUSHES Weezy.
Not to mention that Wayne even admits he didn’t understand Jay’s lyrics.
On “Mr. Carter,” Jay-Z calls you “my heir, Young Carter” — that had to feel pretty cool.
That line right there was hard! Unbelievable. I didn’t even realize it at first. My homie had to tell me “You know what he said, right?” I didn’t even get it. I was like, “Why is he saying ‘air’? Is he just talking about the air?” But I’m smart enough to know that he’s smart enough not to just be talking about the air. I felt real dumb, but then I felt so good. It was an incredible compliment.
Wayne should’ve just deferred and let Jay have the last verse.
