Video Jay-Z Breaks His Silence—“We Played Enough Defense, 2026 is All Offense”

[Dwayne]

lol the damn near MAGA level dickeating ain’t it

Nothing compares to that.

 

[BlackRain]

Rap fans: I love when rappers beef this is hip hop

Jay: I don’t think beef serves hiphop anymore

Rap fans: we gotta grow up and just make music and be above the pettiness

Yeah i haven't seen anyone really have that reaction. Most are calling Jay a hypocrite because they didn't read the entire interview

Thank you to whatever mod put the whole interview into one thread. Otherwise we would’ve gotten a bunch of threads made from chopped up parts of this same interview…

 

[Old Man Cain]

No one is above reproach nor ridicule

True......but that post is hate. You know it's hate, they know it's hate and I know it's hate. Hence......

 

[IP360]

uhh............yea he does, df.

I was referring to going all on social media...live streaming...making tik tok videos for the attention. Or saying the outlandish shyt just for clicks, subscribes, and YouTube plaques.

Bruh made a good point about the current state of the 4 pillars of hip hop.

 

[BMDC]

This is the best rap centric interview I've seen in half a decade at least. No further statements at this time.

He said break dancing, graffiti, and djing are dead. Then he says maybe it’s time to let battle rap die too….

I don’t agree with that… Instead of letting it die how about trying to breathe new life into it!

Niggas came along and got rich and killed hip hop in the process…

I don’t agree with that… Instead of letting it die how about trying to breathe new life into it!

Breathe new life how? Who's gonna do that?

Cuz A lot of muthafuccas in the game right could care less about the foundation. All they care about is the clicks, likes, and the subscribes.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

shit niggas let asians take over break dancing... think graffiti bigger in europe.... and let button pushers become djing...i mean he not wrong

True! That’s why the Hip Hop 50 concerts were so important. And the Hip Hop museum being built is so important… To try and preserve an art form that spoke to generations of black and hispanic people (and some white).

Jay talking about a dying art form but not doing anything to breathe life into it is kinda crazy!

Shit remind me of when he rapped “New York been soft ever since Snoop came thru and crushed the buildings”… It’s like he bitch about shit then do nothing to change the situation..

This my major problem with him and others like him in Rap. They're the OG's now and the richest ones ever and they dont do shit but complain and or exploit the same culture they claim to love so much.

Most of them really only value the dollar, and this mentality gets passed on, then yall turn around and complain YN's dont respect the art form or Og's in the game. Well why should they when most the OG's only respect shit that benefits them, even if they already have everything.

Then you see other cultures keeping this supposed dead pointless art alive and excelling, but people over here will almost happily watch it decline and die off without moving a muscle.

Dude starting to move like private equity firms. Get their money out of something and just leave a wave of destruction in its wake.

Breathe new life how? Who's gonna do that?

Word, him and his wife are just a powerless super famous billionaires. Wtf can they do to help breathe life into break dancing, graffiti or djing. /s

But he can't be the ONLY one tho. Bruh EVERY NY ARTIST should've had a serious issue wit what Snoop did during that time. So I see what he's saying. Niggas ain't did shyt. A handful i think threw a few disses here & there. But it should been the whole city.

And who better to call the shyt out than THAT nigga. Mr. Marcy. Brooklyn.
