"We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity." - Fred Hampton
Right? I hate that they brought up Malcom in this clip because everyone in the comments is missing this point lol. To be fair, being born on the same day Fred Hampton was gunned down is too hard of a bar to turn down for Hov, but their messages couldn't be any more different if they tried.
This song is a low key dedication to Nipsy... STAY WOKE ... J was trying to tell us subliminally that this is what happen to Nipsy ... JUDAS TOOK HIM OUT ... 🙏
The fact that y’all damn near just ignore Nipsey is mind blowing..literally only mentioned his name and spoke on him for a few seconds is wild. Maybe it was the editing, idk. But the jewels Nip always dropped and his community service should never get slighted.TMC🏁
Jay-Z doesn't belong in the same breath as Brother Malcolm, knock it TF off. Malcolm put it ALL on the line for his people. He also stated that Black celebrities are NOT leaders. Comparing some rapper who you have an unhealthy obsession with to one of the Immortal Elders is beyond ignorant and disrespectful.
Malcolm does not know the black celebs of today u cant really hold on to that quote so hard im sure here and there its true but the fact is malcolm dont know Jay. I agree Malcolms effect is heavier but Jay is a legend to the community too! In his own way

When the handful of Black celebrities dare do something constructive or empowering for Black society, they get metoo'd or some other random bogus charges that will strip them of their resources. In the case of Nip, murdered. Malcolm's words very much so apply today. Enjoy the Dynasty intro, but let's stop with the nonsense.

Do not ever put jay-z and Malcolm x in the same sentence ever they are completely on opposite sides of the spectrum jay's dead with the NFL after they blackballed Kaepernick proves this Malcolm always spoke about taking money from the man and spending money with him nipsey is ten times closer to Malcolm he provided business for the neighborhood he lives in, provided job the same thing Malcolm was saying in the 60's.

@@floyda.lanejr.3428 Wants and Needs wasn’t good. Lil Baby got off but Drake shouldn’t have done that hook his verse was okay. Because I grew up DJ Clue freestyles and Big Tigga’s Rap City Booth classic hard bars and punchlines. If I don’t hear that it’s not a freestyle to me. So I wouldn’t call Lemon Pepper Freestyle a traditional freestyle. It was okay. Prolly the name bothers me too much. What’s next is the song I’ll play again. The other 2. Nah.
Joe & Mal clearly don't study Black history cos to compare Jay to Malcolm is disrespectful. Jay didn't say anything crazy here. Was cool for what it is worth but the verse was luke warm.
Agreed, and I’m the biggest jay fan ever I fucks wit his music cause I appreciate his maturity having grown up with his music and for kids who grew up like jay did with no fathers, music plays that roll for us, but it’s ridiculous to say he’s even in the same conversation as Malcom
@@zdogronim Joe at 5:43. That's what I took from him saying "the words were the same." Fred Hampton was explicitly against fighting the system with "black capitalism." Jay, however, reinforces that message in every verse he puts out.
@@eternalflames2162 Well there's a difference between personally identifying as a capitalist, and participating in capitalism due to the political hegemony of the country you live in. This is why socialists like Hampton, advocate for broader systemic reforms to the way our business and economic systems function, rather than just criticizing individual rich people for having money. I would consider Killer Mike much closer to Fred Hampton. He also identifies as a capitalist (mostly for his distrust of the government), but his political advocacy is far more socialistic and pro labor than the average capitalist (higher taxes on the uber rich, expansion of the public sector, getting money out of politics, etc.). He's basically a social democrat, or Bernie Sanders style democrat. I don't think Jay will ever be that type of class traitor to advocate for the working class because he'd be getting taxed to oblivion lol.
I’m a huge Nipsey fan but this wasn’t fair to Nip. His actual verse would’ve been WAY better. This sounded like old Nip and it didn’t feel potent because it was dated. He was still talking about mixtapes in his verse. It’s not fair y’all are getting upset for no reason.
These chicks literally sat there and said JZ is just as important as Malcom X....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wish I had a dime everytime Mal said something dumb! I'd be freakin rich by now....
JAY-Z IS GOD IN REVELATION / APOCALYPSE 11:4 AND MORE. I know this because I have had JESUS tattooed on my thigh since BEFORE I read Revelation 19:16 which says, “ On His thigh is a name written: KING OF KINGS LORD OF LORDS “
I truly don’t understand the hate for Jay-Z. The guy came from nothing, and instead of trying to get like him, we nitpick.....I can see why he was always laughing at dudes in his music....they’d rather hate than get on the level he’s on.
This dummy really compared Jay Z to Malcom X. Malcom X was out here in these streets doing work on the regular not dropping a good verse once a year. Like bro shut up. Malcom risked his life for the people.
How do you expect Jay to be just like malcolm. We're not fighting the same fight these days. And btw he never compared them, he said that jay is as important as Malcolm. I think so. But if you want to compare let's. Jay came from selling and hustling so did Malcolm. Now Jay is dropping knowledge Malcolm did the same.
@@martinderek13 Jay is not as important as Malcom. Yes let’s compare them. Jay will never have schools or streets named after him. Malcom didn’t walk around with security. Malcom wouldn’t of partnered with the NFL. Jay doesn’t unite people beyond music. Jay is quiet 95% of the time when there’s issues going on unless it’s a verse. Like let’s be real Malcom wasn’t around the social media era & Jay is & still doesn’t use his platform to promote it. It’s very disrespectful to compare. Also, let me correct we are still fighting the fight & it’s still bad b/c there’s cameras everywhere showing how messed up this world is. I’ve seen so much death in my 30 years just from Tv that it shouldn’t be normal.

They could have kept Tito Lopez verse as well since it was originally recorded back 8 years ago with Nipsey. Tito wrote the hook and all. That track is out there. They snatched Tito verse off and added Jay smh
That's why Malcolm argued that black celebrities aren't leaders. Jay Z wants to be idolised to market his brand and make more money. He sold out Brooklyn residents to make sure the Barclays centre was built so he could profit. This man is only here for himself.
I have a lot of tattoos, the portraits I have are TWO Tupac’s, Huey, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, 3 Portaits of black women The reason I’m saying this is because I got those NOT because Tupac’s music which I love, or being a fan of boxing. It was the message they spoke. Malcolm IS NOT JAYZ. Let’s be very clear on that.
Y’all disrespectful af. If jay z was half as influential as THEE Malcolm X, he would be in the ground. He hasn’t inspired one person to put down a bottle or pick up a bow tie. He didn’t even say anything in defense of his wife when Farrakhan went in on her for no reason. He’s not just a rapper, but he is far from an activist. He’s part of the decadent veil (ados101.com) and his personal success makes it seem, like wealth is more attainable for his fans... to keep them from doing the real political work. At the least he should have spoken about Breonna Taylor or reparations
Both the film and soundtrack are really good. I haven't said that since the black soundtracks were popping when I was a kid. Mal's Liz Taylor hoodie is fire.
It’s the Armani Cesar Griselda hoodie. I got it in white. They had a big ass sale Black Friday and got the rest of em out but maybe if you follow Gunn they might print some more up

I’ve never seen so much slander towards JAY in my life, for one stop with the Nas comparisons that shit is corny as fuck Nas & JAY are both Gods in their respected right, in terms of our culture JAY is an example of what we should all strive to be coming from poor oppressed communities JAY is a billionaire yes but look at how much he’s been able to do with it on top of his influence. The Malcolm X thing is far fetched but let’s not forget JAY paid off every newspaper company in America to highlight the untimely passing of Queen Breonna Taylor, on top of influencing Minnesota’s police department to act quicker in terms of charging George Floyd’s murderers. That’s not Malcolm X level shit but it’s a start. Give Hov his credit where it’s deserved
..... Bruh after rapping about bricks and if u ain't got money u ain't shit for 20 years makes one conscious album does some stuff with his billion dollars now he Malcom x .. someone who fought against the government ideology raised the black Panthers and died for his people .. I got 99 promblems but a bitch ain't one are we really comparing a fucking street rapper to Malcom x I'm disgusted.
To me this is not about Jay and Malcolm shit and nas at all NIPSEY HUSSLE is the real revolutionary he was actually forming minds to think different why are we talking about jay and nas celebrate the kings that were martyrs for us too live better lives jay z a capitalist billionaire I still respect jay when you get that big ain’t now where to go but up I think he’s starting to do more for the people but Nip been doing this since a young ass nigga been giving back even when he wasn’t signed or dropping music always in the trenches respect that man he died for you to live
@@Chuck-us4ey preach !!! That’s another thing that got me tight is how much focus JAY got but we not gon acknowledge the gems nipsey dropped his whole career too!! I respect your take

@BAKED BEANS bruh it was moments in his verse that sounded like badly edited punch-ins, stop playing with me out here. I ain’t no Jay hater, crazy enough I got Reasonable Doubt in my CD player right now. Been listening to this dude 2/3 of my damn life, his flow was not “hard” in any sense of the word here.

"We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity." - Fred Hampton
Right? I hate that they brought up Malcom in this clip because everyone in the comments is missing this point lol. To be fair, being born on the same day Fred Hampton was gunned down is too hard of a bar to turn down for Hov, but their messages couldn't be any more different if they tried.
This song is a low key dedication to Nipsy... STAY WOKE ... J was trying to tell us subliminally that this is what happen to Nipsy ... JUDAS TOOK HIM OUT ... 🙏
Say what you say; Jay Z still got bars! Level: GOAT🐐
“Its not done like THAT, but the fight’s still the same.” Real Shit.
did mal really say jay is as important as malcom???
He just said it right now lmao
ridiculous. most of em support Biden and Malcolm warned people of the liberals
Absolute clowns on the mic
Jay is as important as Malcolm.
Black people stay hating on black people
The fact that y’all damn near just ignore Nipsey is mind blowing..literally only mentioned his name and spoke on him for a few seconds is wild. Maybe it was the editing, idk. But the jewels Nip always dropped and his community service should never get slighted.TMC🏁
They did this wit mac miller too. Parks kept tryna bring nip up
Exactly
Definitely the editing
Jay-Z doesn't belong in the same breath as Brother Malcolm, knock it TF off. Malcolm put it ALL on the line for his people. He also stated that Black celebrities are NOT leaders. Comparing some rapper who you have an unhealthy obsession with to one of the Immortal Elders is beyond ignorant and disrespectful.
Malcolm does not know the black celebs of today u cant really hold on to that quote so hard im sure here and there its true but the fact is malcolm dont know Jay. I agree Malcolms effect is heavier but Jay is a legend to the community too! In his own way
@@BakedGodDamnBeans lol if you know anything about malcom x you would know exactly what he would think about the jayzs of the world.especially after the nets situation and his allowing the nfl to use him to divide the protest for a paycheck
@@BakedGodDamnBeans Black celebrities of Malcolm's time are exactly the same as the ones today. Damn near all of them are compromised and know their place. The second any of them dare say anything that's not in line with white corporate interests they get immediately put in check. If these Black celebrities say anything that the white LGBT or white Jewish community doesn't like, what happens? When the handful of Black celebrities dare do something constructive or empowering for Black society, they get metoo'd or some other random bogus charges that will strip them of their resources. In the case of Nip, murdered. Malcolm's words very much so apply today. Enjoy the Dynasty intro, but let's stop with the nonsense.
@@trinidadonassis7411 bro we dont know how Malcolm would feel about celebs of today so many new/different factors to say otherwise u just talkn out ya ass
@@BakedGodDamnBeans Those of us who have actually read and studied Brother Malcolm know EXACTLY how he would feel. If Brother Malcolm was willing to go in on the Big 6, he damn sure would have went in on some rapper.
Do not ever put jay-z and Malcolm x in the same sentence ever they are completely on opposite sides of the spectrum jay's dead with the NFL after they blackballed Kaepernick proves this Malcolm always spoke about taking money from the man and spending money with him nipsey is ten times closer to Malcolm he provided business for the neighborhood he lives in, provided job the same thing Malcolm was saying in the 60's.

Joe & Mal clearly don't study Black history cos to compare Jay to Malcolm is disrespectful. Jay didn't say anything crazy here. Was cool for what it is worth but the verse was luke warm.
Agreed, and I’m the biggest jay fan ever I fucks wit his music cause I appreciate his maturity having grown up with his music and for kids who grew up like jay did with no fathers, music plays that roll for us, but it’s ridiculous to say he’s even in the same conversation as Malcom
i agree jay to malcom naw and the track i feel like it fit the scene and moment cool track though
1500 or nothing are criminally underrated
Jay's verse was hard, but his message is POLAR opposites from Fred Hamptons lol.
Who said he was trying to give the same message
@@zdogronim Joe at 5:43. That's what I took from him saying "the words were the same." Fred Hampton was explicitly against fighting the system with "black capitalism." Jay, however, reinforces that message in every verse he puts out.
If u live in America by default your going to be capitalist. To what extreme is another question.
@@eternalflames2162 Well there's a difference between personally identifying as a capitalist, and participating in capitalism due to the political hegemony of the country you live in. This is why socialists like Hampton, advocate for broader systemic reforms to the way our business and economic systems function, rather than just criticizing individual rich people for having money. I would consider Killer Mike much closer to Fred Hampton. He also identifies as a capitalist (mostly for his distrust of the government), but his political advocacy is far more socialistic and pro labor than the average capitalist (higher taxes on the uber rich, expansion of the public sector, getting money out of politics, etc.). He's basically a social democrat, or Bernie Sanders style democrat. I don't think Jay will ever be that type of class traitor to advocate for the working class because he'd be getting taxed to oblivion lol.
How u gonna talk about this for 16 mins and just say nipseys name once didn’t talk about his verse at all have some respect for Nipsey
When have the eastcoast really showed the west love outside of saying Rest In Peace ...
For real man
@Chubless The Bear how so?
I’m a huge Nipsey fan but this wasn’t fair to Nip. His actual verse would’ve been WAY better. This sounded like old Nip and it didn’t feel potent because it was dated. He was still talking about mixtapes in his verse. It’s not fair y’all are getting upset for no reason.
@@opmallmoneyin when snoop came out 😂😂
These chicks literally sat there and said JZ is just as important as Malcom X....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I had a dime everytime Mal said something dumb! I'd be freakin rich by now....
JAY-Z IS GOD IN REVELATION / APOCALYPSE 11:4 AND MORE. I know this because I have had JESUS tattooed on my thigh since BEFORE I read Revelation 19:16 which says, “ On His thigh is a name written: KING OF KINGS LORD OF LORDS “
@Aaron9 another keyboard-warrior with no picture
@Aaron9 you don’t want it with me...
Money is freedom. By that logic...IDK.
I truly don’t understand the hate for Jay-Z. The guy came from nothing, and instead of trying to get like him, we nitpick.....I can see why he was always laughing at dudes in his music....they’d rather hate than get on the level he’s on.
That Jay Z verse was aiight but Black Thought had the best verse on that whole soundtrack....his 1st on Welcome To America is GOD TIER
definitely Black thought had best song but only the first 4 songs are good the rest I couldn’t vibe to it
This dummy really compared Jay Z to Malcom X. Malcom X was out here in these streets doing work on the regular not dropping a good verse once a year. Like bro shut up. Malcom risked his life for the people.
How do you expect Jay to be just like malcolm. We're not fighting the same fight these days. And btw he never compared them, he said that jay is as important as Malcolm. I think so. But if you want to compare let's. Jay came from selling and hustling so did Malcolm. Now Jay is dropping knowledge Malcolm did the same.
@@martinderek13 Jay is not as important as Malcom. Yes let’s compare them. Jay will never have schools or streets named after him. Malcom didn’t walk around with security. Malcom wouldn’t of partnered with the NFL. Jay doesn’t unite people beyond music. Jay is quiet 95% of the time when there’s issues going on unless it’s a verse. Like let’s be real Malcom wasn’t around the social media era & Jay is & still doesn’t use his platform to promote it. It’s very disrespectful to compare. Also, let me correct we are still fighting the fight & it’s still bad b/c there’s cameras everywhere showing how messed up this world is. I’ve seen so much death in my 30 years just from Tv that it shouldn’t be normal.
You have to be brain dead to compare these two.
@@tuxedomask8238 bruv you don't know what Malcolm would have been in 2021. Or what Jay would have done in the 60's. Let's just agree to disagree.

Yea skip over One Mic, lost tapes, NY state of mind, Half Time, Memory Lane, blaze a 50, project windows, small world, last real nigga alive, undieing love, Talk of NY, Carry on Tradition etc...and talk about Oochie Wally? Jz aint on Nas level lyrically or culturally. Jz has more white fans and fly by night fans who only likes whats more popular.

Enticing when slicing through tracks, you're screaming "Jesus Christ is back, and God knows he can rap"
Facts! They don’t be listening to HOV,they try to act like he just started building this way but on the contrary he’s been doing this his whole career... been dropping jewels from day one
@Lamarr Sutton them having their own opinion is fine, but it correlates with the fact that he had been spitting knowledge & folks didn’t want to give him the credit, bc in their opinion he sucked
@Lamarr Sutton they dont have to agree with facts I guess is your point? Cuz I was talking about facts. I’m fine with people having their opinion, but I wasn’t talking about those.
@Lamarr Sutton ok, so I said in raps Hov been spitting knowledge. Those are facts.. His old raps, with that kind of content, serve as the facts. Nothing to do with my opinion. Be blessed brother.

DID THESE NIGGAS SPEAK OVER NIP VERSE AND REFER TO HOV AS IMPORTANT AS MALCOLM X?!?!? now I see why Big Pump Killa disses them after every Pod 🤦🏾♂️
They could have kept Tito Lopez verse as well since it was originally recorded back 8 years ago with Nipsey. Tito wrote the hook and all. That track is out there. They snatched Tito verse off and added Jay smh
Hov is verbalizing get but ain't no real action being taking
Where tf you been?
That's why Malcolm argued that black celebrities aren't leaders. Jay Z wants to be idolised to market his brand and make more money. He sold out Brooklyn residents to make sure the Barclays centre was built so he could profit. This man is only here for himself.
Your a child . Stfu stay in your lane
I have a lot of tattoos, the portraits I have are TWO Tupac’s, Huey, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, 3 Portaits of black women The reason I’m saying this is because I got those NOT because Tupac’s music which I love, or being a fan of boxing. It was the message they spoke. Malcolm IS NOT JAYZ. Let’s be very clear on that.
You mean Jay-Z is not MALCOLM X
This why I fw joe. He speaking on all Angles. Ppl get so caught up into rn. He on some what if, past, future & present
JAY-Z is my favorite rapper too but damn New York can’t be unbiased if they tried. This is terrible 😂. But I get it, politics as usual.
I see what you did there 😂😂
I can see why it’s Reasonable for you to Doubt their intentions! 😉😂
They are forced to be feelin’ it you know 🤣🤣
Slirp Slirp. Jay z get the most neck platters from dudes 😂😂
Joe should begin every episode with a freestyle.
Y’all disrespectful af. If jay z was half as influential as THEE Malcolm X, he would be in the ground. He hasn’t inspired one person to put down a bottle or pick up a bow tie. He didn’t even say anything in defense of his wife when Farrakhan went in on her for no reason. He’s not just a rapper, but he is far from an activist. He’s part of the decadent veil (ados101.com) and his personal success makes it seem, like wealth is more attainable for his fans... to keep them from doing the real political work. At the least he should have spoken about Breonna Taylor or reparations
Jay Z is not oppressed because he is black. Joe always goes there lol
Yes he is. But this was cute
The organization part is 100% true
Both the film and soundtrack are really good. I haven't said that since the black soundtracks were popping when I was a kid. Mal's Liz Taylor hoodie is fire.
Yeah that hoodie is fire!
It’s the Armani Cesar Griselda hoodie. I got it in white. They had a big ass sale Black Friday and got the rest of em out but maybe if you follow Gunn they might print some more up
If you going to compare a rapper to Malcolm then compare Pac not Jay
Why they wont talk about how nas murked “EPMD” on the same album
Because they Jay stans
You know why.
Ain’t nothing wrong with being a Jay Stan tho! It’s just the fact that they see him over any and everybody else
A song with a posthumous Nip verse and they spent 13 mins of a 16 min review talking about Jay-Z. Smh
