Jay-Z: I’ve Given A Grace Period For Tupac & Biggie To Be Called The Best But That Time Has Elapsed, Now I’m The Greatest To Ever Do This Dead Or Alive!
Posted by Media Outrage on October 9, 2009
Jay-Z sent MTV his acceptance speech for naming him “Hottest MC In The Game.” He addressed the fact that they neglected to include Eminem in their list. Peep what he had to say about being the greatest and Tupac and Biggie….
“MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation,” Jay wrote. “Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute.
“Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission,” Jay continued. “As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year. (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)”
Mediaoutrage- Definitely the greatest MC to ever come around here….

That’s what’s wrong with these ole cocky ass NY niggas. New York can’t come back up in the rap game cause they still tryna hold onto old ass niggas like Jay Z. Let some new talent come up. Shit. As far as him being the best rapper dead or alive. That’s a matter of opinion. HE COULDN’T AND WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FUCK WITH PAC.

“Mediaoutrage- Definitely the greatest MC to ever come around here….” Mo u must have sipped some of that Hennesey V.S. Kanye had before VMA, cause that there comment was WACK, lol.
Greatest Rapper Alive/Ever? *crickets* *snooze button* Now, Greatest Camel Alive/Ever? without hesitation, he is unmatched in that category, he truly is an extra-ordinary creature, hahaha…
October 9, 2009 at 5:04 pm
He will continue to push himself to exhaustion.
So is that an admittance that all that ‘retiring’ shyt was a trick on us? Word?
Whatever.

LMAOOOOOOO oh my god! these fucking people
October 9, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Jay-Z needs to sit his bama ass down. Only thing #1 about Jay-Z is Beyonce and she is also fading fast. Age is pulling the Tittay down to the ground maybe this is why we see Rihanna so much by his side. Youth does wonders. LOL
October 9, 2009 at 6:04 pm
MO Im in agreeance with You and JAy.
He’s the GREATEST TO EVER DO THIS.
October 9, 2009 at 6:34 pm
SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU GAVE YOURSELF THAT TITLE, NO ONE EVER SAID YOU WERE THE GREATEST.
October 9, 2009 at 6:39 pm
I am also siding with Hovy’s Home. I was gon bark on everybody who opposes this proclamation but, I just let it be what it is. Everyone will never agree on anything. “Women lie, Men lie, Numbers Don’t” new talent huh? who, oj da juiceman, gucci mane, yo gotti, scrappy, d4l, shawty lo, gorilla zoe, playas circle, soulja boy?? I love GA but, please don’t embarrass yourself. They can never do what Jay-Z did for the game. Pac was never a lyricist. I love Pac but, his impact was not global, it was local. ask your white suburbia kids today who Pac is and then ask who Jay-Z is. Go to Africa and ask the same question. Same thing is London, Austria, Germany, Sweden. Doesn’t matter if he is dead because you become more famous when your dead anyway. Just ask all those people who made thousands and even millions lately off Michael Jackson’s recent record sales by investing in those records companies. Cut me a check Bitches!! Drake is not even going to have the impact like Jay-Z had. Hov is a one to one, that means none before him and none to come. You may not like him but, you have to respect him. And if not that you at least gotta tolerate him. You have no choice. “It’s Ya Boy”
October 9, 2009 at 6:39 pm
sit your punk ass down..you ‘re one of the great one..not the greatest…punk ass..Even Em is better than you…taht’s right, I said it…EMINEM IS BETTER THAN JAY -Z

“These Ni$$as is Haters! And I made myself so easy to love” -Jay-Z “Haters, Blueprint III”
October 9, 2009 at 6:43 pm
I know I am going to get some backlash for this one. Hold up, let me get my vaseline lol.
October 9, 2009 at 6:43 pm
please every one has their opinion, I, myself am not a fan, so it doesnt matter, some dont like, some will, not a bad thing! not everyone has to agree, if he suck to some, and not to others, its still all good.
October 9, 2009 at 6:45 pm
And I dont have to tolerate or respect him, i dont care for him, and dont listen to his music, so there! Jay-z means nothing to me or my life. but still god bless him and his future, no hate here, no reason to!
October 9, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Jay-Z hands down is the greatest rapper alive or dead. Love you Hov!
October 9, 2009 at 6:51 pm
THere is no argument for anyone else to even be considered the greatest besides hov. The other 2 that you would put in the conversation are deceased and didn’t have the opportunity to live out their potential so they can’t be the greatest. No one has accomplished what Jay has. Anyone that doesn’t see that is a straight up HATER.
October 9, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Lio you can’t be serious saying that Em is better than Jay. My opinion is the same as Cut Up, MM, Hovy’s Home and Hov himself lol.
October 9, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Jay-Z….and the list stops right there. MO you got it right “he’s the best to ever come around here.” I thought my man beans was going to make noise but he can’t stay out the streets.
October 9, 2009 at 7:30 pm
I hear ya up there Lowridaz and I feel and agree with you 110%
I just dont see why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch. AINT NOBODY GETTING PAID FOR THIS SHIT. If you like Jay-Z then so be it, but no one can say that he is the greatest to ever do it. Like I said in post #1. It’s a matter of opinion.
October 9, 2009 at 7:46 pm
@Atlantaaaa: First of all Jay-Z is the best to ever have done it he’s the only rapper to sell out Madison Square Garden by himself what rapper you know to have 11 #1 hit records are you crazy nigga stop hatin………….Jay is that nigga not matter how old he is. Niggas want to be where Jay’s at want what he got- is wife, money & career. Fall back nigga.
October 9, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Yeah that’s definitely a matter of opinion.
And in MY OPINION, dude is WACK!! Just like all these other rappers. All of ‘em suck!! So there!
NOTE: To that dick rider on post #19: Atlantaaaaa is a female.
October 9, 2009 at 11:25 pm
I am sick of politically correct negroes mentioning that fat, mouth full of sh8t, murderer biggie STUPID smalls in the same sentence as a great man like Tupac.
Tupac had everything required to be the greatest of all times – fantastically handsome, character, intelligence, good actor, conscious rapper with a message, and fantastic sound.
Jay is good BUT TUPAC WILL 4EVER BE THE KING OF RAP, no matter how much jealous American haters full of envy and evil try to lie that TRUTH out of existence.
October 9, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Jay is very good, but Tupac will 4EVER be the greatest of all times
October 9, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Jayz is great. To himself and his fans. Just b/c someone is not a fan or doesn’t say he is great don’t make them a hater. I don’t listen to Jayz music, so how can I be a hater. Im not familiar wit his music so I really can’t have an opinion one way or the other. I wish ppl quit throwin that word hater around. Just becuase I would rather listen to Shania Twain than jayz don’t make me a hater. I know nothin about this man other than the fact he a rapper and he married to Beyonce
October 9, 2009 at 11:35 pm
As a lyricist, I’ve come to the conclusion that no one man or woman is the best rapper. It’s things like this that piss me off–when someone make a dollar out of 15 cent and proclaim themselves a phenomenon when they got 15 mil. What happened to substance? What happened to message? What happened to HUMILITY? Mr. Carter is not the best rapper ever, nor is Wayne, nor is Drake’s tired ass. They may be the hottest cats out RIGHT NOW, but by today’s standards–analog, commercial or otherwise–it’s like sifting sand through the hand.
ONE
October 9, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Smurfette and Unkle Death…. ((bowing my head to you)) thank you for the posts! couldnt of said it better.
I dont listen to rap, myself. but I like soul, classic rock, country, soft rock, of course i listen to my indian music, but rap, ugh, no.
and I am with you Smurfette I wish people quit throwing that word “HATER” around also, Ugh i cannot stand that word! my god, where do they get this shit from .
October 9, 2009 at 11:56 pm
I couldnt agree more with the first comment! HE CAN NEVER EVER stand against PAC! NeVER!
October 10, 2009 at 12:47 am
Sorry but Pac’s albums don’t stand against Hov’s. Biggie only had 2 so that ends that discussion right there. People get real please and stop the freaking hate. Your opinions don’t mean shit when it compares to what the man has accomplished that NO OTHER RAPPERS LIVING OR DEAD HAVE EVEN COME CLOSE TO. HE’S THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF THIS SHIT.
October 10, 2009 at 1:25 am
LMAO@ridingfinest…you can suck the nut out of a dick, in fact you can suck the nut out of Jay-Z’s dick cause that’s what it sounds like you wanna do. Oh dick riding motherfucker. I hope Jay-Z paying you for this shit. KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR WEAK ASS POST.
October 10, 2009 at 1:34 am
Beyonce is what got him famous!
October 10, 2009 at 2:09 am
Hey Mane go kill yourself right now lol
October 10, 2009 at 6:35 am
Its not even a contest. Jay Z shouldn’t even put his name in the same sentence as Pac. Not even close.
October 10, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Nas is a best rapper!
October 10, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Gotta love the Jay-ZEALOTS on here. I could personally live without hearing about his overrated ass for the rest of my life.
“People get real please and stop the freaking hate. Your opinions don’t mean shit when it compares to what the man has accomplished that NO OTHER RAPPERS LIVING OR DEAD HAVE EVEN COME CLOSE TO. HE’S THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF THIS SHIT.” -Teck-9
Could you be any more of a homo?
October 10, 2009 at 9:16 pm
I know one thing, I’m bout to fall back up off of this site cause there aint no way in the hell you should have to come to a social celebrity blog site and get angry. The folks on this site be straight on some other shit. NoT realizing how easy it is for a motherfucker to track you down and fuck you up if they wanted. SUPER EASY!
October 10, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Oh, come on Atlanta. Don’t act like that. You know how it go sometimes up in here. I think at the end of the day it is all peace. You be up in here like we all do on the regular and it don’t even sound right, you talking fallin back. I remember me and you got it in over some other shit a while back and then squashed shit real easy. It’s almost like on some family shit,and family don’t always get along so “cut the crap sis”
Opinions are what they are, just that. If it’s like that, I will say “Fuck Jay-Z” cause at the end of the day he ain’t givin me nothing. I just said what I said cause I knew shit would get stirred up lol. Once again, “It’s all Peace”
October 10, 2009 at 10:55 pm
And, If anybody on here wants to fuck me up I am in Killeen, Texas. Get at me!!
October 10, 2009 at 11:06 pm
I agree. He’s definitely one of the best to do it and while I think Pac & Big were great, they didn’t accomplish as much as he did. It’s a new era and I think that he should be considered the best for all that he has accomplished. No discredit to them tho.
October 10, 2009 at 11:29 pm
LOL @ Unkle Death. That was funny my nig. I aint no homo but everyone who won’t admit HOv is the best to ever do it just sounds silly to me. And some folk just sound like they have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about hip hop when they say Jay shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence with Pac. Im shaking my head at the nonsense.
October 11, 2009 at 12:15 am
@Cut up, nigga you know its all peace with THE FAM…I’m talking bout these no names coming up in here (or at least they log in as another name) talking major shit. I aint just talking bout this topic.It’s a lil deeper than that. The ones that need to know what I’m talking bout knows. You shouldn’t take things so personal homie.
October 11, 2009 at 12:18 am
And I’m sure if anyone wanted to fuck with you in Killeen, TX you just made it easier for them.
October 11, 2009 at 12:25 am
And I wasn’t even talkin bout you Cut Up so, be easy homie…
October 11, 2009 at 4:08 am
Sorry Mr. Carter, Rakim is still the G.O.A.T
October 11, 2009 at 4:33 pm
GRACE PERIOD? WTF? He must b gettin’ dementia cuz’ BIGGIE & PAC R THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME..ALL TIME period!….NAS, THEN J!
CAN’T 4 GET…BIG DADDY KANE, KRS ONE, RAKIM, METH, REDMAN, EPMD
October 11, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Oh, Please beleive. I know you wasn’t talking bout me shawty. Quite frankly, if you were I wouldn’t have even responded to it. I know you wasn’t getting at me. Let’s slide off it now and move to the next topic cause we have exhausted this one. It’s all love with me with everybody up in here. I don’t engage in internet squables, they are pointless. Let’s express our thoughts on these different topics and keep it moving. You seem mad aggressive but, thats cool. I am too. You know what it is with me. ONE
October 14, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Jay Z is the Brett Favre of rap… retire or put your helmet on & get out there like everyone else. Stop waiting for someone to congratulate & exalt your old ass for doing what you WANTED to do. Be humble, be grateful, get the check & go home.
October 14, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Shit’s all convulted anyways IMO.. Best what? Record seller…sure. Best hip hop artist making the Forbes 500 list…sure. Best at wifin’ Beyonce?…sure. Best at havin the biggest lips in the game?… Most definitely. BEST THE FUCK WHAT?!?!?
Best rapper…uh, that’s a matter of opinion. Is it based on records sells, who sold out what arenas or is it on pure beats and/or lyrics? U can’t go & make blanket statements about being the best without getting specific.
GTFOH. Next.
