Jay Electronica feat. Jay Z "Shiny Suit Theory “
- Thread starter Dubez
- Start date
didn't catch me at all or maybe it went over my head. I hate when Jay Z rambles - that verse sounded like it belonged on that "Mr. Carter" side he did with Lil Wayne. I don't want to hear this twice.
OK....This is Jay Z's verse.
In this manila envelope the results of my insanity
Crack said I crossed the line between real life and fantasy

Stfu bitch ass nigga like you the only one that been up on jays verses...
So let me get this straight, Jay-Z is dissing Lebron when he been fawning over dude and going to see him play since he was in high school? Come on man. If anything thats dissing Nas because Nas is the one who talks about when we were Kings, in fact he had a song about it..
And to be honest that actually was some dumb shit to see because Blacks had KINGDOMS in Africa........ you dudes reach too much, by the logic of alot of yall damn near every verse ever made is a diss.

One two, one two
uh, yeah
I’m sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
my shrink told me it’s a feeling they’ll never know
I pack up all my sins and I wear ‘em to the show
and let ‘em go, let ‘em go, let ‘em go, let ‘em go
I’m sailing on a cloud, they trailing below
my shrink told me it’s a feeling they’ll never know
I pack up all my sins and every L that I blow
and let ‘em go, let ‘em go, let ‘em go, let ‘em go
In the land before time, a land before altar boys
Synagogues and shrines, man was in his prime
look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme
the method is sublime
you get blessed with every line
I’m in touch with every shrine from Japan to Oaxaca
Your melonated, carbon-dated, phantom of the Chakras
Me and Puff, we was chilling in Miami
He said “N-gga f-ck the underground,
you need to win a Grammy
for your mama and your family,
they need to see you shined up
you built a mighty high ladder, let me see you climb up
Nigga, what you scared of?
terrorize these artificial rap n-ggas and spread love
pollinate the ear buds
like you supposed to, spit it for the culture
pay no attention to the critics and the vultures
they rather have a shot of Belvy just to spite you
they cast the judgments ’cause they feel they got the right to”
F-ck ‘em, I let the dice roll like my father did
I gotta shine, it’s in my blood, I’m a Harlem kid
I treat my babies right, treat my ladies ladylike
Hit ‘em with a remix, then make sure that they play me twice
I thought you said it’s the return of the black kings
Luxurious homes, fur coats and fat chains
[Chorus]
[Jay-Z]
In this manila envelope, the results of my insanity
Quack said I crossed the line between real life and fantasy
cant it be the same one on covers with Warren Buffett
was ducking the undercovers, was warring with mothaf-ckers
went from warring to Warren, undercovers to covers
if you believe in that sort of love, your screws need adjusting
in the World of no justice and black ladies on the back of buses
I’m the Immaculate Conception of rappers slash hustlers
my God, it’s so hard to conceive
but it all falls perfect, I’m like autumn is to trees
Uh, the doc interrupted
he scribbled a prescription for some Prozac
he said “take that for your mustard”
boy, you must be off your rocker if you think you’ll make it off the strip before they Pac ya,
n-gga you gotta be psychotic or mixing something potent with your vodka
It takes a lot to shock us but you being so prosperous is preposterous
how could this nappy headed boy from out the project
Be the apple of America’s obsession?
you totally disconnected with reality, don’t believe in dreams
since when did black men become kings?
[The-Dream]
You have no idea
the means to what I say
and you have no idea
of how I got this way
Now, fear my dreams
and by the time you wake
I’ll look down from the clouds
see, I’m on my way
[Chorus]

Cool, i'm gonna give it a once over again.
That's what I got as well.
It's because these idiots are reaching. Of course they'll take one sentence and take it totally out of context with the rest of the song.
"Uh, the doc interrupted

boy, you must be off your rocker if you think you’ll make it off the strip before they Pac ya,

Jay-z's verse in the song is basically a young Jay-z talking to a doctor or psychiatrist about who he will become in the future, and the doctor interrupts him while he's taking and tries to downplay him.
"you must be off your rocker if you think you’ll make it off the strip before they Pac ya,

lotta speculation but the song is kinda nice and i do agree that "since when do black men become kings" was some semi coonery even if it has some deep double or triple meaning.
remix w/ j cole and wale in 5...4...3...
remix w/ j cole and wale in 5...4...3...
thats exactly how i saw it, i dont know who cats reached so far with the disses
i know Jay is good for subs and double meanings but this is pretty str8 forward
Line isn't coonery, it's phrased as a doctor telling a young Jayz that his ambition is just dreams.
WTF man I actually just listened to this and...yeah its like I thought most of you dudes dont have good sense.
First off he says "Quack" as in DOCTOR...SHRINK.. PSYCHIATRIST.
First off Jay is TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF.
He's opening the Manila envelope..you know the ones you get medical results or in this case his PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION?
He's saying how the Dr. is going in on him for dreaming to be who he is now. Thats why he says "You must be off your rocker to think you will make it off this strip before they Pac ya"...
Anybody in a hood knows a STRIP is where you sell drugs at. The Dr. is telling him he's crazy for thinking that he will make it off the drug strip before getting killed. Which is why AFTER he talks about being on covers with Warren Buffet, the Dr. tells him "Need your screws adjusted". To Which Jay replies " My god its hard to perceive"...
To which the Dr. says "You being so prosperous is preposterous"..
And then after Jay says he's "Americas obsession". The Dr. basically says you are completely crazy and what you are thinking cant be real... Which is why the "Dr." who in this shit is presumably white says "Since when did Black men become kings"..Who would say that besides a white man?... Damn yall dont think...
Good Job Jay on confusing those who lack common sense and look for confrontation in everything..I mean cause seriously its clear as day whats going on in that verse.

Haha real talk. Cats don't spend this much time breaking down full albums these days, let alone 16 bars.
15 day broke ass clown you need to pay before you lay one insult down....
