☆ Jay-Z Has The BEST BASKETBALL Metaphors.. ☆

[lebrady23]

When I kick a flow it was like, pick and roll
Cuz even if he gave me the rock its give and go
I guess beanies style was more of a slam dunk
And my $*+% was more like a finger roll

 

[messiahchild]

Feel like A-Rod, some say his time's up
Boo a %#$%$ at home, yup I'm in my prime But
he by far the best player on the team
And then turn around, drop 'em to the bottom of the lineup
Should get traded, but he don't wanna move
'Cause this the only city he got somethin' to prove
And that's why I'm seen with heaters
'Cause you can't be the man when you on the same team as Jeter Ya dig

.....

 

[jj1223]

Joey
Fab

one of the sickest sports metaphors ever. When i first heard it,it blew me away. Cuz im a huge hov fan and buddens fan, but he spoke the truth on that.

 

[j d0t win]

i'll get you drug out the club they have to carry em
your head bug out i'll raid @*#*!* scared of em
worry im not mike jordan
of the mic recordin
hovi baby you kobe, maybe tracy mcgrady
matter fact you harold miner, jr rider
washed up on marijuana
even worse you a pervis ellis
you worthless fella
you aint no athlete you shawn bradley


joey the future im more like dirt
anybody buyin respect me
try and wet me
yall dudes will never make it
your a Tyus Edney
im a standout like Yao Ming
im whats sparkin now
like fallback Shaq
im startin now
boys poppin it toys poppin spit
im not from round these parts im Stojakovic
let me hear your man say im the Jordan of rappin
he's gettin fatigued girlie his scorin is lackin
legacy is gettin ruined and you dont want that
so pretty much learn from him
dont come back
and rap is gettin wag top

This ain't Chris Rock +*+%!, it's the R.O.C. +*+%!
And I'm the franchise like a Houston Rocket, ya mean (yao Ming)

 

[blackmamba08]

I'm not saying wayne got it but this is a good one.--



And when it comes down to this recording
I must be Lebron James if he's Jordan
No, I want rings for my performance
I'm more Kobe Bryant of an artist
Same coach, same game, been starting
...Same triangle offense
I come through the lane like dargent
Refree %#@%%! is lame they call charging

[bmorekicks]

Buddens is the best at the b-ball punchline...sports in general actually. I remember when he said "you dudes is Tyson Chandler, you don't know whatI'm ahead of you by" after Chandler went for a layup when the Bulls was down by 3 in a playoff game.

Hov:
"I'm Michael Jordan, I play for the team I own"
"MJ him Jay fadeaway perfect"

Jada:
"life is a B' and I came in her
I'm similiar to Melo when it come to the game winners"

Cormega:
"Lyrically, I'm Penny before the injury"

 

[mace40]

Acknowledging that I didn't namecheck Mega earlier in this, can you new jacks really discount him like this? Fab? Joey? PLEASE.

I know it's not basketball but the best sports lines consistently within ONE song goes to Fab...

Barry Bonds Remix

"Some women are Clemens they just keep going with it, don't sweat it, be like Pettite just admit it"

But at the end of the day, Joe's the best at it BUT it's like he's making a career out of it, he does it on every song

Plus, it's less effective to rap about washed up athletes when his rap career has been all but successful

Which is why I give more credit to Jay, slightly tho

Joe's the best but Jay makes it sound more believable or in other words, it's more acceptable for Jay to say what he says because it's no secrethe's one of the most successful rappers ever

Ex. Joe will say the illest punchline but then I stop and think, then I'm like "damn, Joe's in the same position is the cat he's talkingabout"

...i dont like playin, N's cant stick me
N's cannot jam me, N's cant get me;
SLIMY at the RUCKER wanna leave and spend with me
I CONSISTENTLY TAKE EM OUT THE PARK LIKE KEN GRIFFEY!

not too many people know that was a short subliminal towards 50

 

[soulize dp]

"High school, crossover, waved away picks
Music was the same +!%*, gave away hits"

 

[kg21]

This ain't Chris Rock !*##$, it's the ROC !*##$
And I'm the franchise like a Houston Rocket
Yao Ming/Naw Mean

 

[acidicality]

yea cormega has a bunch as well, these are all from the same song ("tony montana")


"And I'm back with a vengeance, like Sprewell smashing the Knicks
after they shipped him despite the fans resistance"

"Who thirsty cause I'm OT with prince with thirty moving like magic
But ____ ain't worthy like Michael cooper when I shoot I aim sturdy
Mother maiden ____ em"
