Nah man. The seasick/see sick entendre is insane
This guy thought process is insane. Pharrell’s reaction was mine when I first caught the bar
And they are trying to put Drake on this level as an MC. Bro. Nothing against Drake and his accomplishments. But as for MCing. Bro this nigga HOV on some other shit! A whole differwnt level.
I bet 75% of people never got that see sick/seasick entendre (including me) until Jay Z explained it. Which makes it even more brilliant
I'm just going to say that billion dollar BEYONCE has the best man alive. And only after BIGGIE, who's sleeping in perfect heavenly peace.
Sea Sick (See Sick)
Magna Carter is very underrated
And Timbo in the room! Don’t talk about Drake. HOV is on another level!
He’s too good at rapping 🐐
I hope yall don’t get “see sick” wow 🤯 He’s the best. @StoneyHustle isn’t that a BIG line
Lupe did it better
Did this need explaining?
🐐
🔥👏
I want to hear Biking
@One_eye_willie yeah you right. Magna Carta not it 🙄
Another lyric he stole from Biggie and tried to pass it off as his. This Nigga a fraud.
The world needs another Decoded
Niggas be hyping this fraud as some god mc 🤦

![Next up, letter O: “Oceans” #JayZ30 #JayZ Jay-Z and Elliott Wilson sat down in 2013 inside Yankee Stadium for “The Truth: #FACTSONLY” interview, where the rapper revealed he recorded lyrics for “Oceans” after ‘Watch the Throne’ was finished. He had the track over a year before ‘Magna Carta... Holy Grail’ was released. In the behind-the-scenes sessions, Jay described the meaning behind the song. Jay-Z: “It’s like me now, no matter where I go in life and the things I accomplish, you walk in that room, your past still comes in with you. ...It [‘Oceans’] sounds like a celebration of where we are now, you know, on some big yacht and throwing champagne in the water, but the undertow of the thing is like, this same water is the water that brought us here, originally, as slaves. So, it has this whole duality and how we are rewriting history, even the stories that we were told about the history of America.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2071286484309536846/amplify_video_thumb/2071285561092980736/img/fcSufTicWpYmz9t6.jpg)
