Dear Jay-Z,
I’m a fan of your music, not some weird aloof music fanatic who thinks he knows what’s right and wrong… But I found something oddly disturbing and downright wrong about your recent appearance on the newish Missy Elliott CD, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great CD but one line in your guest appearance shocked me to my very core…
Evisujeans cover the rectum
I kick game just like David Beckham
Anybody in my way I wet them
I’ma be this way until the cops come catch em
Jigga Man, how could you? Have you no shame? Name dropping David Beckham like that, although I’ll give you minor props for rhyming his name with rectum… But Jay-Hova, that’s the biggest sell out I’ve ever heard in all my years listening to music (and I’ve heard some shitty pop in my days, let me tell you). What ever possessed you to do it? I’ll go as far as saying 95% of your listening audience doesn’t even know who David Beckham is and now I fear they might look into it. “Who is this David Beckham guy Jay-Z is giving shout out’s to?” and the prophecy of this, for lack of a better word, muppet taking over the world moves ever closer to reality, much to my chagrin and much to the joy of the sleazy gutter press tabloids who sell issues off his back and could make or break his career depending on their mood that particular day.
Now I don’t believe in nothng no more…
So please find enclosed a copy of your “last ever CD“. It may not work properly as I zapped it in my microwave for 10 seconds as I was in dire need of a coaster for my coffee and I had no AOL CD’s at hand.
Hugs,
Greg the Disgruntled Fan

Greg,
Most people know who david beckham is and did you really expect Young hov to just name drop cats from bk whereas he has been all over the world?

Hey, Jay I’m a fan of your music, ever since reasonable doubt. I had a brother shot and killed in 94 over the hustle game and your music is what got me through the tough times. The times are still hard but these songs made me go through it.
This cant be life (death)
Dead Presidents ( death)
Song Cry( relation ships)
Jay you have straight put it down from summer to summer, I have always apreciated your talent. I can go on and on.But do know I feel you and always.
From day one to the days is done
Nita…
Hey This Guy is the most influentual artist in his sector of music, If you heard his ultimate mtv mash up and was a big enough fan like me to go out and buy Jay Z \ linkin park collition course album you’ll know what i’m talking about, For those people that don’t understand what his songs are about then don’t critise. I have been a fan of both linkin park and jay Z since day 1 and have never doubted there abilities.
Peace out Addz

Dear Greg the Disgruntled Fan,
first of all… you should be very embarrassed that you (a self-proclaimed fan of jay) only interpreted that line on the surface, instead of digging deeper. jay’s lyrics are very rarely, if EVER, superficial. they always have a deeper meaning. that’s what sets him apart from other artists. the line was obviously a clever play on words, rather than some random “shout out” to some dude over seas, as you suggested. beckham is on the top of his game, just as is jay… and THAT was the analogy… by him pointing out the fact that both of them “kick game” for a living… (beckham “kicks” a ball literally in his “game” of soccer, and jay “kicks game”[ebonically speaking] to make his living) is lyrical genius at best. my suggestion to you is to go all the way back to the “in my lifetime” single, and listen to ALL of the lyrics and take note up until “dear summer” ’cause you obviously missed ALOT along the way. check yourself before you check anyone else…
peace
– a TRUE HIP HOP fan…
What the fuck is with you fuckers actin’ like you’re talkin’ to Jay? This is just some faggot who was hatin’ on the line in the song…not Jay-Z…
Hey Jay, don’t listen to what negative cats out there are saying about you. Most of them are just watching from the side line waiting for you to slip up. In any case, you continue to do what the man above has sent you to do, and that is to keep our heads bobbing. Peace!!!

u lot gotta get of jay-z’s dick. Dunno what the track is called…but one DJ brings out all the lryics Jay’s copied. And they not even all from biggie, but Big L, 2Pac, Snoop, even some old school unknown cats. Y’all gotta open ur eyes and see Jay-Z for the muppet he is
yo, leon, u don’t know jack about jay z, talking about, he’s a muppet and he uses lyrics, if he’s going to be crucified for that, then every rapper should. u even get new kats using jay z’s original lyrics, and he ain’t even dead yet. holla.
Dear Jay, I am a very BIG fan of yours…so BIG, i have your name tattoed on me and my e-mail contains your name and I have all of your cd’s and movies, and a ton of pictures of you and all over my cube (desk walls) at work is ALL pictures of you and a few with you and Beyonce…I love you and your are definately the BEST at everything you do…keep up the good work and hopefully I will meet you one day, just to say hi and take a picture with you when I come to the 40/40 club…also I have never been to one of your concerts, (SORRY)…could you do one in Pennsylvania? my address is 2205 Aspen Way…Harrisburg, PA 17110-9669 and my name is Nicole M. Dayhoff (34)…and most of allHAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY
Lyrical game play is what seperates a legendary mc from today’s average rapper. Ive known Hov and cats out of the Roc-a-Fella camp for a few years now, and thats what they give you evry time “LYRICAL GAME PLAY” for anybody outhere bold enough to feel as if President Carter isnt at the top of his game, you obviously dont know the game! I can honestly say this is what we do…and Im proud to know I can do it in the footsteps of one of the most feared legendary mcs of my time!!! Thanks Shawn!
Dear Mr. Carter,
I feel that it is great that you’re giving back to the community and that you’re out there searching for new talent. But what about those of us who don’t have musical talent but have business ideas (venture) that need capital and backing. That’s my plight. I have a business plan drawn up. It’s just a matter of seed capital. Help a sista out.
