Verse of The Week


I really didn’t wanna do it because honestly Jay-Z has spit better verses than this but after listening to all the verses this week, this one is clearly the hottest. There were some hot joints this week but none of other joints really had a full verse that was tight from beginning to end. This verse is pretty damn hot because he sticks with the whole “Put On” theme of the song. A lot of times rappers will rhyme about something that has nothing to do with the hook of the song but Jay-Z did this remix justice in my mind.

Verse of The Week

I put Marcy on the map, I put Brooklyn on my back
I put Fab back on the charts, I put Biggie in my raps
I put Nas with Def Jam, I let Diddy do my tracks
I put on for my city, that’s a muthafuckin’ fact
I put Mike Jack on stage at summer jam, Billie Jean
I put Prodigy in his place on that Summer Jam screen
I put Preem in my truck, told him leave them streets alone
I predicted jail would happen, shit I tried to put him on
All these niggas taking credit for the work that I put in
If you really put me on, put yourself on in
I put miles on that hooptie, I put hours in that kitchen
Put that on my tip, mama, this is fact not fiction
Feds were trying to build a case, I was headed for conviction
‘til the greatest flow in the world put me on television
I put on for my city, so when I’m dead and gone
I got one last wish, put my Yankee hat on

(Jay-Z, Put On Remix, Verse 2)

Audio: Put On (Remix) - Young Jeezy ft Jay-Z

  1. Gotta admit, that's classic 35 and up Jay-Z right there. Gotta love it.
