VIBE: You say competition is for the “old guys,” but it sounds like you’re going at Jay-Z with that line, “I got your baby money/Kidnap your bitch, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money.” Are we looking at it the wrong way?
LIL WAYNE: I know for a fact, music is about perception. You can’t do anything but perceive what you hear. If I know that for a fact, I can never be upset about someone’s reaction to it. I’m not gonna say I don’t know what will happen before I say it [on record]. I do know what will happen. I am aware of it. It is what it is.
VIBE: So you knew the repercussions of going after Jay before anything even happened?
LIL WAYNE: Well, I’m a man. I believe as a man you should know that. Every man should know the repercussions and consequences behind whatever they do before they do it. And of course, I know there won’t be any repercussions behind what I did.
Any Questions?

Carter IV stays on heavy rotation in my whip!
why?
He knows there won’t be any repercussions…..aside from a line by Jay-Z at some point that will murder this cornball & have us all =-O .

“Erybody selling dreams I’m to cheap to buy one!” LMAO!!!!!
hes living it buddy. Hard work. no easy way.
Lmao. He’s right. What is Hov gonna do?
this coon nigger makes no fucking sense… and this is who yall look up to…
SMH
double, triple, co-sign this. he’s a fuckin fool with a whole bunch of tattoos on his face. he’s not good, he’s lucky…luck that its 2011 and not 1996. he’s not good just a bit better than the rest of the bullshit. his whole album sounds like the same beat over and over again.
FUCK THAT! quadruple! shit.
it ain’t shit to me.
fuck that “coon nigger” shit that you’re talking. don’t you have a dolphin to molest… er, I mean… make sweet, passionate love to. YBE a bitch.
lame.
Why is he doing this?!? What sparked all of this disrespect?!?
Jay’s lines are much colder. And I don’t think Jay was even talking about Birdman, I took the “baby money” part as Jay referring to someone’s money as a small amount of money but I guess if the shoe fits…..
I agree. Wayne and Baby are waaaay too sensitive.
It’s all in good fun. But, he defintely was talking about Birdman. The line came as a result of an interview Birdman did claiming that he and Lil Wayne had more money than Jay, which is ridiculous.
I don’t think there is any beef… but its interesting they playing off of each other.
Weezy may get rotations, but Jay is Already Home… << get the reference?
This little negro is confused. One day he skateboarding ans jumping flight of stairs and busting his ass, second day he’s blood, third day he’s a rocker and on the fifth day he sings how to love.

Pause.
You blogging from the closet?
Look….im teamHOVA all day!!
…BUT…
Lil Tunechi is clowning on HOV!! Plus he is winning too!!
…now look I aint saying Lil Tunechi is even in the same league as HOV but currently just for this battle ONLY I must say Lil Tunechi is winning and the craziest part is that HE KNOWS that he is winning too and he making direct statements and doing interviews saying HOV wont do shit!!
..its time out for this im a Legend and im this and that and dont have to respond shit!! So…..JIGGA if you love this rap shit like you say you do then its time you take it back!!
…you cant be in this game and not compete IDGAF who it is…you cant just drop albums and think your the best alive and all that but you let other cats in the same game as you spit on you!!
It aint even like Lil Wayne tryna make a name for himself by going at HOV either…wayne been around since like 97 or some shit and he just sold a Milli on back to back albums…so his name is out there and it doesnt take a fake Jay-Z beef to help him either…Wayne is directly disrespecting you cause your in this rap game and if your who you say you are then you better bust back PERIOD! Or step the fuck aside!
One last thing and im done…heres a lil story…
…imagine your known in your area as the one not to mess with cause you have already beat up everybody and now walking home from school everyday and this guy keeps calling u names throwing rocks at you just anything at all cause he dont like the idea of u being the best while all the while everyone is watching and they know you wont do anything cause ur being the “bigger person” and so on…but this guy keeps bullying you to the point where u either find a different route to walk or stop walking around in that area completely becuase now ppl that have been watching all of this for so long no longer thinks ur being the bigger person now they are calling you coward and questioning if your scared so ur only options is to confront this head on beat the guy to a pulp and reaffirm your status or you have to leave the area completely…
I said all that to say that this isnt about Jay-Z’s history and status in the rap game this aint about the nets or 40/40 or rocawear or beyonce or nothing else..this is about right now in the present state of the rap game currently..and if your looking at right now in the present he has to either get at wayne or step aside and throw in the towel..
^this
Yo anon, please fuckin’ choke on a dolphin dick.
has anybody stopped to think that maybe Jay-z just don’t give a fuck? as to why there hasn’t been any comeback? I mean lil waynes jab aint stoping his money flow and vice versa. maybe just maybe it’s possible for more than one rapper to be on top (regardless of a shitty album IMO) and other rapper’s be ok with that?
BABY WAS A 40 SOMETHING YEAR OLD MAN TOUCHING WAYNE’S PRIVATE PARTS LOL….i WANT TO CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ON THIS MAN

It’s funny that Wayne is so tough now but when 50 Cent dissed him and Baby directly on wax he was silent…..he don’t want real beef
so you’re saying that jay-z is fake beef?
is that what you’re saying?
maybe cuz 50 is dead air right now…and beef with Jay is actually worth something
Wayne is becoming so annoying. There’s only 4, maybe 5 tracks on the Carter IV that I can listen to and he’s not on two of them. His VMA performance was disgusting. Him trying to silence the crowd while performing ‘Nightmares of the Bottom’ like that shit has lyrical bars was pathetic. Jay-Z isn’t worried about Wayne. Jay-Z’s legacy is solidified. This clown better come back hard after that garbage of an album, ‘Tha Carter IV,’ or he better start making movies and monumental business deals (vitamin water) like 50…or maybe he’ll just self destruct too!
you hov fans are so emotional at dude clapping at your messiah that you need to stop and consider that hov is at least 13 years older than wayne. at least. he could technically be dudes father.
so when trying to weigh hov’s accomplishments against wayne – consider that at the same age – hov was actually coming off like his first or second album – and he had to literally suck up to flex at hot 97 to get spins. and he was making all his bread from pretending to be a chick and ghostwriting for chicks like foxy and amil.
hov still in the game as a silverback veteran? then niggas ca take shots at him. and legitimately, other than wayne who else has the credentials to take shots? wayne is a vet who does a million opening week every album out. technically he runs rap saleswise.
You might want to check those stats again. When it comes to over all record sales, wealth, and lyrical content…Wayne ain’t even close.
you’re talking about history. you sound like them jordan niggas – jordan is the greatest. no, jordan WAS the greatest. big difference.
RIGHT NOW – TODAY???? Wayne runs rap. You can disagree if you want but facts are facts.
Ummm if you talk to folks who listen to hip-hop (not rap) on a regular basis, you can’t deny Jay’s lyrical content. Wayne hasn’t even sold close to Jay’s numbers. Wayne might have went platinum on his last two records but Jay has 11 #1′s albums. More than Elvis.
History or not, you can’t compare the two…two entirely different levels.
What is funny is@Anonymous is if wayne is running rap sales as you say….why even take the time to take shots at Jay, mention him in interviews and what not? and you forget wayne’s first album was I think lights out…which was wack…he has been with the hot boys for a minute and has had maybe 7 or 8 studio albums.
And those first two albums you mention were and are still considered street classics eventhough they did not sell wayne, and Jay wasn’t on someone’s label….remember wayne wasn’t the IT rapper on his label…It was Juvie, then BG….after they left…Gilly the Kid out of Philly started writing for wayne and then Carter 1 was his first successful album.
Im not even a Jay-Z but if you gonna state facts get them right, and how talented do you have to be to write hits for FEMALE MC’s and why does Wayne not go at Kanye? or EM? Or 50? who consistently calls him out?
I smell pussy
you’re still missing the point.
the only accurate comparison is to compare wayne at this point in his career with hov at the SAME point in his career. and it’s no comparison. WAYNE WINS.
Anything else is cheating. comparing a 44 year old hov to a 29 year old wayne is like comparing a father’s accomplishments to a son’s accomplishments – of course the father has more. but comparing apples to apples? Wayne bodies Hov.
And there are very few rappers selling units in 2011. two of them are on his own roster – drake and nikki. Go after kanye for what? there’s no beef there? go after 50 for what? it can only revive 50′s career and hurt wayne. wayne hitting 50 up right now doesn’t accomplish anything.
hov is the last mountain – the last challenge. the only nigga to go wall street and still stay relevant in rap. of course wayne has to touch that up – it’s what a real nigga would do.
if hov feels away about it – respond. he won’t though. LOL hov doesn’t want any of that.
Hahahahaha…Lmfao at this ‘Anonymous,’ you think the 29 year old Wayne can be compared to the 29 year old Jay-z? That’s an unfair fight nicca…Wayne wouldn’t last one round with Jay-Z when he was 29! WOW!
@annymous, I don’t think you are seeing the point. album sales are not the only thing that determines good music. Song for Song, Wayne can’t mess with Jay lyrically…..26 year old Jay or 40 something year old Jay. Jay was way more lyrical in 96 than he is now. Plus Wayne’s rhymes are not grounded in reality….it is fantasy rap. When Jay raps about them having baby money….not only is it true compared to him, but it is also a double entrendre…..when wayne raps we got that kidnap your lady money…..really?! Beyonce makes more than wayne or baby…so it was shock value rap.
I can compare them at any point in time in their careers and the math is still not adding up. But not only does Jay have a bigger catalog but the quality of work is oustandingly better…..JAY HAS THE MOST NUMBER 1 ALBUMS TO DEBUT IN HISTORY! THE ONLY BETTER IS THE BEATLES. Not just rap, but all genres of music. Who cares if Wayne pushes a mill in a week, that just makes Baby more money, but the last two of his mill in a week albums were garbage quality wise. Bluepring 3 was better then Carter 3 and Jay bodied wayne on Mr. Carter…..it took Wayne two verses and those still weren’t better than Jay’s one verse.
The reason I mentioned those other rappers is cause Wayne will only mention jay….so either he is obessed with him or he is scared to mention people who will actually entertain him….EM already had a song released where he talks about Wayne only mentioning Jay. Jay is wayne’s idol…any rap fan knows this. He stated back on Carter 2, that he was the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired….now he wants to back track and call himself the best.
And Wayne is not real either. The same dude who raps about being a Blood and murdering people? he shot himself and “joined” a gang at like 26. The same dude who skateboards now all of a sudden? He fell and busted his eye. The same dude is did a rock album? He played a guitar on the VMA’s that was not plugged up….lol
I mean this dude is a circus clown with cliche lyrics about the same things….weed, chicks, money, bloods, outerspace goonery, and weezy F baby. Fact is he was touched in his private parts by a grown man since the age of 12 and he needs serious help over these encounters.
Rapfan, let it go. This dude actually thinks Wayne at 29 is better than Hov at 29, or any age for that matter. Jay-Z was Iron Mike-ish in the game at 29, he couldn’t lose, lol! Clearly you’re arguing with Mack Maine…
@F.Brown excatly! lol
im like really half a billie really young money dey got baby money keep it real with niggas niggas aint got my lady money wayne aint fucking with jay-z sorry wayne stick 2 rock
50 Tyson better than jay z he suck ass
