TopDawg14 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 In a light-hearted moment, Jay-Z recorded a diss track responding to Washington Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson saying that Cleveland Cavaliers forward/guard LeBron James was "overrated." In this quick 2 minute clip, he makes a reference to box-office king Will Smith: Jay-Z Disses DeShawn Stevenson Personally, I don't think he was dissing Will but I could see how some might imply that he was.

Jin Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I gotta keep it real, Its gonna take seven movies by Will, Seven movies at twenty mil, And you still ten short from what I did wit one deal I think it's a diss/subliminal at Will!

FrshPrnceCharmng Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Seems unintentional, but a diss none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg14 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Actually Jay-Z's math is a little off considering all the back-end money Will gets from producing the movies he stars in. So in essence Will would only need to be 2-3 movies to get to $150 million. Edited April 28, 2008 by TopDawg14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 And he is acting as he is getting every year a 150 Mill. deal, Will constantly earning lots of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevTastic Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Just bragging, that what Rap is half about. He ain't really dissing him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAshley Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 hmm, doesn't really sound like a diss, more like he's playing on the fact that most people know Will makes twenty million (more actually like TopDawg said) dollars a film. not exactly smart to be dissing a business partner (carol's daughter) on a record but stranger things have happened.

MaxFly Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Some random DC rapper went at Jay over this Lebron/Stevenson controversy and completely pulled a Nas on Jay... Haven't heard a diss track this good in some time... http://www.zshare.net/audio/1119889428557c2c/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I gotta keep it real, Its gonna take seven movies by Will, Seven movies at twenty mil, And you still ten short from what I did wit one deal I think it's a diss/subliminal at Will! he's doing a diss towards deshawn's deal in the NBA. :stickpoke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) He's not dissin' Will... everyone says Will makes 20 Mill per movie...7 Movies is 140 Million.. Jay Z just signed a $150 Million dollar deal with Live Nation... I think he's saying...even if Stevenson was good enough to make Will Smith type money (Something like 7 Years/20 Million a year)... with one deal, Jay still made more with his one deal.

Jin Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Comparision or not, he should have kept Will's name out of it when he is dissing another person on the track. That line is not a clear statement, so there is a lot of space for speculation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I really don't see how you think this is a diss at Will. Its not even subliminal. Like Vipa said Jay was saying it'll take you 7 movies from Will at 20 mill each and your still not close to the money I've got. No way was he disrespecting Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
