Billy side, your comments slide to the side due to your closed mind and angry insides, relax brothr, look at the positive side and love others. I shutter to think anyone would think kindly of another... but follow the crowd and be a loud mouth gunner without aim ..

JAY-Z is irrelevant. Ever heard of undergroundhiphop.com Jay-Z??? didn't think so. MF Doom, Kool Keith, Talib Kweli, Madlib, J. Dilla...There is plenty of indie hip hop that is better than anything Jay-Z ever did he is just too dumb to search for it.

Jeeze... hostility issues, much? Calm the hell down. You don't have to like him but really, what does insulting him do? Not a damn thing but make you look childish. Have fun with that...
