Of course its been talked about before but probaly pre IC upgrade. What are/were your thoughts on it?

What made me think about it again is I was diggin in the e-crates and was bumpin State Property 1 album (classic), listenin to one of my favorite tracks from it, 'Do u want me' (classic).

Man i had forgot/never realized that Jay z wasnt the first ngga to use the 'excuse me miss, whats ya name' line from that Luther Vandross song. Chris was. @ 2:30

    Lol Im actually a Jay fan, diehard, but im also objective, and i also dont see it as any indictment of his legacy or whatevr. Its just a crazy footnote in history: One of the greatest to ever do it really fuked wit the young guy. U could tell from the Hot 97 freestyles 'He's only 16'

    Chris is dumb nice in my book. He had crazy comp during those days with beans free jay. I felt like Neef
    Was holding him back. I can't call it when it comes to the flow. When I hear jay use it I hear jay when Chris does it I hear jay but still think he rubbed off on jay

    Listenin to that song was funny to me bc its like Jay was Varnell Hill, and Chris was Martin

    'Where's Varnell, we misss hiiim. I like that!' *takes notes, uses later*

    Young Chris and Christopher Wallace inspired him a lot.

    During that time and on into the Black Album, Jay Z definitely was "influenced" by Young Chris and ushered in a more mature deliberate style which for awhile became his trademark.

    No where near as bad a Wayne whose gone through Gillie, Juelz, Jay Z, Andre 3000, Drake and now Young Thug
