More of Jay-Z’s Interview in XXL..Speaks on Jim Jones & Game ["Game, I’m his f***n idol"]


XXL: Speaking of Jim Jones, he and cats like The Game stay throwing shots at you, referring to you as old and washed-up. But you’ve always thrived off that type of competition. So, currently in the most comfortable position of your career, how competitive are you?

Jay-Z: Not really that competitive, because the competition isn’t based on real competition. I mean, Game, I’m his f***** idol. If you ask him and he’s being truthfully honest with you…it’s just based off his insecurities and, for the most part, pretension. That type of competition doesn’t do anything for me. It’s almost like someone trying to set you up, and everyone knows they’re to set you up, and everybody. It’s just dumb. It’s not in the spirit of competition, because he’s not competition for me. He’s not. Not then, not ever—he’d have to improve considerably. Competition for me competition is Nas, Eminem. Like Jim Jones? That’s ridiculous to me. So how do I respond to that? I can’t win. If I win, then they’ll be like, “See. Now chill. You’re a fuckin’ bully.” And if manages to throw a haymaker from the West Coast, then it’s like “Oooooh.” It’s not even fun. Like, before I did it, because I would diss anybody. Now who has time to do this s*** everyday? But before, when I was running after the little fat n**** from Ma$e’s camp, I was doing anybody. Anybody said anything. If I thought you said something. When I was running in the streets, I wanted all that type of activity. Nobody wanted nothing. Now everybody’s a tough guy.

Comment by Apollo on September 3, 2009 at 1:40pm
@Amen Ra-El respects to your comment. You made a few interesting points i could take on board although im going to touch on the ones that i thought i could understand more about. You state that wisdom is really just common sense and THESE SYSTEM OF TEACHING ARE OLD AND NOT ALL THAT GREAT. I'd hoped you could elaborate more on that. Wisdom consists of knowledge. Without knowledge how can you define common sense. If we as people had the slightest wisdom, we would understand the difference between right and wrong. Everyone has different views on whats right and wrong but lets stick on the basics on this one. I dont understand how you could say the teachings are old and not all that great when we havnt demonstrated the teachings you talking about. The teachings of truth. Teaching of being 100% real wit your self and people around you. Listning to an artist is one thing but following him around, knowing his every move, his every step expecting the next big thing is another thing. Thats worshipping an artist. And this is all boasted all over their materiel???The whole entertainment business, personally is a mass distraction to make you intrested at dumb down s*** rathar than the real s*** the effect people on a daily basis. And thats real talk.
think what you like but the system is far bigger, smarter and tactical than the bubble you live in. Im not here to say we should make drastic changes of any sort because I wouldn’t know what to tell you. Just the ability to question. is that so hard? lets face it, the majority of people now days are more interested and more aware of what Paris Hilton got up to on the weekend than researching what our leaders are getting up to. Im tired with the spoon feeding information mentality. The education system is their to condition us so we just smart enough to run a computer so you could work for a big corporation machine, but dumb enough to question reality & succeeding it on your own with the slave like 9 to 5 lifestyle. if you do succeed to go at it on your own, the system will put as much pressure on you, attempting to bankrupt small businesses by taxing n extra costs, trust me I KNOW! PPz be asking for evidence like they don’t use their eyes as if the s*** isnt infornt of them. Go look for it instead of expecting it handed to you on a plate. Life is surreal as it is. Why is it that we cant use our eyes and ears hand in hand with our brains to arouse suspicion? This is the problem. People wait till s*** blows up in their face but even then its to late. This has happened over and over again. But like you said people be free to do what they want and think what they want, how ever dumb down they are.
Let me get something straight… im not against material possessions, iam against materialistic ideology. I don’t see anything wrong with anyone making an honest living than spending it on what he/she wants. In other hands, going out and making music that throws out messages than use that for profit and power, than that’s where the line crosses. Jay z is on a next level of intelligence that his listeners just DON’T HAVE. LUD had no argument to make except use my pictures as ammunition to point the finger at me, comparing it with the Jazy z issue which cracked me up a little, but how is it that he/she put me in the same category as jay z I will never know lool. Like I said before its not about living your life to an extreme, your labelled an outcast, Im simply saying you need a balance where your aware of your surrounding. If your not then I guess there is no reason debating. LUD didn’t get it. Assuming my intension are bad. Let me also point out on your statement on “”TAKE THEN DAMN RIMS OFF THAT LIL TOY CAR AND UP GRADE UR CAR MAN“” and “”...AND IF YOU WORK A 9 TO 5 COOL..U AINT NO BALLA SO DONT ACT LIKE ONE PIMP“” looool I thought that was weak of you. you’ve jumped into that place where your actually hating, cuz you don’t know me fam. So how you can say that? whos acting like a pimp? Show me where im going on like a “baller”? do you even know who iam on the pictures? Don’t use that s*** against me cuz that aint nothing. Its all about balance, is that not the case no more? You think my opinion should result to extreme measures meaning I cant make money and enjoy spending it in moderation? That’s where the confusion goes. As far as on the hating on my toy car (lol) it don’t bother me one bit, we have it different here in the U.K. we don’t have roads the size of freeways as you would call it. So think about that G. s*** don’t bother me in the slightest. True say ive learned something doh, don’t put pictures up for people to get s*** twisted with. The s*** I will agree wit you is when you said “”NO GREAT TEACHER EMBARASSES HIS STUDENTS...THINK ABOUT IT ..DID MARTIN L EVEN CALL HIS OPPOSITION AS HARSH WORDS AS YOU DID?”” First I aint NO teacher and 2nd i didn’t mean to embarrass the next man. I don’t see my self above anyone here, Im speaking on a level. My actions are only a reaction to dudes who take my heads up on the issue then dudes getting back at me with the magic “HATE” word lool. Thats what buggz me out. The whole “hate” word movement really has worked on the artists favour. I mean p diddy? Shiiiit, I don’t know what to say mayn. Just creates another level of Ignorance where you don’t question the Idol, dont turn on the idol, & always protect the Idol. Dudes getting s*** twisted with pplz who actually want to spread a lil knowledge, wit the waste mans who just wana hate for the sake of hating. LOOL s*** don’t make sense. There is no denying Jay z materiel is BIG talent, ive ALWAYS said that but that s*** shouldn’t make you bow your head to him dismissing the questions at hand. S*** is reckless and where iam from, not cool. Idol worshippers exists. its everywhere. Check some of da comment for example. ITS NOT REALITY loool. Hold it down famz P.S a 9 to 5??? LOL Yeh you got jokez
Comment by Apollo on September 3, 2009 at 9:15am
@JUD, Youve proven that this whole debate is based on your hard headed nature and nothing to do with the points In hand. Who ends a comment by saying "Im smarter than you lmao"? thats sounds like desperation to me. what exactly have you said apart from being on Jay's d***, defending him like he puts food on your table & pays your bills. Then you say some dumb down s*** like your smarter than me? You seriously cant see what iam saying can you lol. Maybe its my diction, or how I structure my sentences. Here is you defending an “entertainer” than to say your smarter than me? I find that hilarious. You may very well be smarter than me although in honesty you haven’t proven that to me yet.

"its ok for u to work hard and put rims on a focus but its not ok for jay-z to work hard and buy a Ferrari"?? Quotes like these makes me wonder how you can even connect the two. So your saying, just because im questioning his affiliation with the corporate world & the messages hes putting out, you must think i should live in a cave? Maybe I should wear a gown and grow my hair and beard? Would you take my points on board then? What angle are you looking at this exactly? I mean seriously? lol. You haven’t thought it through have you? Like i said on previous comments, you haven’t got the mental capability to stretch your mind far enough to even consider my points. That’s all im asking. Instead, you’ve come at me all guns blazing twisting and ridiculing everything Ive said in the lowest form of debating using armature assumptions thinking you actually get me. You REALLY don’t.



"just because i think J is a great rapper it doesn’t mean i want to join his church" Where in my comment, did i state that ? again your just throwing out these assumptions which indicates your whole confusion on this matter. Ive already stated how talented he is and how i enjoy his music, yet you choose to ignore that and still call me a hater because im coming at this on a critical mind set where as your coming at it with an obedient one dismissing every negative points against the artist. That shows your ignorance and lack of awareness in life generally. I don’t know, maybe it’s the left brain right brain thing.
“u want everyone on your level and if they r not the u label them either lazy or say they have a god like complex” okay come again? Where did i state that? Quote me wrong please because your debating skills are terrible. The only reason im still replying to you is that you managed to hit below the belt by getting my wip involved and throwing out wild assumptions getting the wrong end of the stick? lol. You have nothing else in the tank so you result to finger pointing arguments. Here I am trying to put down an interesting debate for this blog, although I think you’d rather have idiotic 2 liner comments that have no significance nor relevance to our society, then cry about all the s*** that happens across the world. Same s*** different toilet. If your hard headed & naive about the music industry than God help us what you think on political affairs. The level of naivety astonishes me, which puts things into perspective really. Why suits, get away with murder. What happened to our animal survival mechanism that every human has? lol everything is all gooooood where you at Im guessing. I think im going to end it their wit you.
to conclude (LUD) for someone to end a comment with the play ground terms such as "Im smarter than you lmao" frankly shows your lack of intelligence and understanding on this whole topic. Im not in it for the same pathetic reasons as you are. Actually you know what, I’l end it with, OKAY YOU WIN cuz I know that’s what you want to hear lol. Phssss…

Its funny to me that oprah is doing a interview with Jay-Z and she would not do one with Ice Cube...hmmm....now thats a conspiracy
Comment by Keo Richmond on September 3, 2009 at 2:56am
Directed towards Amen Ra-El... honestly u all have some intelligence...but no man should want to wait to rise up because another man does...you own personal free will enables you to make that choice if u know in yourself that the time is right...we should want to stress individual self motivation...this is one reason people are easily peer pressured...not self worth to feel confident enough to make the first and what u may know is the right move...FIRST...

Okay, either the reporter cant type or Jay was high because a couple of those sentences make absolutely no grammatical or structural sense.
