Yeah, it's been done. Can't get big in rap anymore without hammering out the same old cliches. I bet when you play it forwards he sings about how he came from rough streets and only smokes the best weed.
See, they took this out of context. This was actually Jay Z performing the theme song for a failed TV pilot about Jesus and Six from Blossom solving murders
It's more like the pastor found out about this unauthorized track here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afV4EH6Jt7s and didn't bother to check his facts to see if Jay-Z actually made it or not
yt comment:
@BlyueMOON well as we all know michael jackson owned the rights to beatles around this point in time, and jay-z, he straight up loved it, maybe not this track particularly, but he gave it the green light, MJ on the other hand just said no...which sort says something about the whole Illuminati/freemason thing.
