"Add the bass in your voice get found like the cool, So we could sound like loon or pound like boom Don’t end up a dead man for the cheddar, Only way to play Joey's Def Jam Vendetta"

[@charlesjohnson536]

'DA BOY'S POPPIN IT .. TOYS POP AND SPIT .. I'M NOT FROM ROUND THESE PARTS .. I'M STOJAKOVIC' ..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. #REALHIPHOP #HIPHOPLEGENDSONLY

[@rappurview]

"Add the bass in your voice, get found like 'Cocoon.' So either sound like Loon or the pound's like 'BOOM'" Analysis: -- Jay-Z, particularly when he laughs, yells or gets exited, has kind of a higher register, soft voice (i.e., no bass). According to Joe, if Jay-Z were to ever "man up," actually add some bass in his voice (for once) and raise his voice to challenge Joe, Jay-Z will come up missing (and get found--like "Cocoon" [see explanation below for "Cocoon"]). So Jay has a choice, either sound like the rapper Loon (who is/was soft spoken) or get fired on. -- "Cocoon" is a 1985 sci-fi movie in which a family finds an alien fountain of youth. If you pay attention to Joe Budden's whole verse, he's emphasizing how he's the new blood (relative to the blue bloods) and of the new generation of rappers taking over an overthrowing the blue blood aristocracy. He also highlights how "Toys pop and spit. I'm not from around these parts. I'm Stojakovic"--or an "alien." Conclusion: Nobody that I've heard (other than Nas) has challenged Jay-Z's masculinity in such a way. This lethal bar was all nested in the motif that the then-new generation is taking over and Joey was at the vanguard. Of course casual rap fans will completely miss this potent dose of ether, and Joe Budden deserves far more credit, than he has in the past, for demolishing emcees and handling the Jay-Z beat jacking (and diss). To casual fans and laypeople, Joe Budden was sort of made to be a laughing stock because of "Pump It Up" and the Jay-Z beat jacking. Eighteen years later, to me, Joe Budden prevails as the victor in this lyrical contest.

[@Eddienumbers007]

Very well said/typed with close attention to detail

Hell yea..this dont seem that long ago even tho its been a minute man. this was when rap started to go down hill. On the east we had alot of new school dudes ready to keep it goin but the game changed just like that. I agree tho..budden definitely went for the kill especially knowin the history between him and jay. From what i understand jay did budden dirty on some foul industry shit. Budden got at jay with some shots on mood muzik 3 with a joint called " talk to em " which is one of my favorite budden records.

Wat i always liked about HOV is he jus lays his verse, he doesnt worry about who verse is better and go back and re-do his verse like 90% of the other rappers...he jus drops som bars and moves on...if the public think u outshined him on a track he ok wit that...he jis only wasted about 15 mins or so of his day on his verse and damn near does it flawlessly...with no pen!!! 😂
