Bold Reaction to Jay-Z’s “Blueprint 2” | Skillful, But Cam’ron’s Diss Lingers
Jay-Z’s “Blueprint 2” is a solid diss track-calculated, sharp, and lyrically impressive. He takes aim at multiple targets with his usual wit and confidence, and yes, even drops a hilarious Austin Powers reference (“It’s not groovy, baby!”) to keep things spicy. While the track showcases Jay’s undeniable skill, I couldn’t help but still feel the sting of Cam’ron’s “Swagger Jacker.” It’s wild how this feud raised so many questions about originality in hip-hop. Let me know your thoughts-was this Jay’s best rebuttal, or does Cam’ron still haunt this battle? Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more reactions to hip-hop rivalries!

    The English have a fine sense of humor. Sure, make up a song that plays off a river metaphor and then make the title hard to thay. A 'firth' is an estuary and the 'fifth' is an imaginary river (following the River Forth). With all that they still came up with great music.

    When they used phrases that describe oral sex it's to degrade and really disrespect. In the black community, one of the easiest ways to anger a man is to insinuate him being a person that lives an alternative lifestyle to put it lightly. Saying things like S my D is a sure fire way to start beef.
