His videos-where bikini-clad models end up drenched in bubbly-are a combination of peer pressure and unnecessary pandering to the South. He’s what I call an unconvincing misogynist. But I’ve never bought JayZ’s whole pimp thing. Thankfully, we ladies get way more love on Blueprint.

I refuse to comment further on these battles. A master of economy, Jay is able to say in one line what it takes some writers entire songs to get across : “You little fuck / I got money stacks bigger than you”. “Don’t let me do it to you/ ‘Cuz I overdo it ,“ he warns.

“Takeover “ is Jay’s response to both rappers. Prodigy and Nas got talked into beef with Jay and are probably living to regret it. Of course there are a few exceptions to this phenomenon. 1’s “The City Is Mine,” he asks his ungrateful peers, “Where is the Love?…/ Oh you ain’t feeling me?/ Fine/…Sensitive thugs/ Ya’ll need hugs.” Still he keeps bringing out heavy artillery for MC’s who simply don’t want it. He blasts off Blueprint with “The Ruler’s Back,” both a nod to Slick Rick and a reassertion to JayZ’s reign. That Jay should make his best album some 75 songs after his first defies the laws of nature. Like a bookend, or the second key on a double bolt lock.

But with The Blueprint, his sixth album in as many years, he’s submitted what could be read as the second half of the double album that began with 1996’s Reasonable Doubt. Generally, Jay is dismissive of these loners, hovers above their closed worlds. Scream rap treason when artists reach beyond hip-hop’s xenophobic hamlet. Cube? AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted is where it begins and ends. There’s this subculture of cyber thugs in hip-hop- ex – Dungeons & Dragons dweebs who are scared of life in general -that never gives MCs anything past their first album.
