Jay-Z's Worst Songs... Non-hits & Misses

Jay-Z likes to think he’s the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). But what about Hov’s less than Godly moments on the mic. Check the breakdown of the worst Jay-Z songs of all time. Feel free to add your own. Someone should make a mixtape of this.


12. Girl’s Best Friend [Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter(1999)]

Jay had a good metaphor going, but the Swizzy’s beat is all over the place and hook is annoying. Plus the video hurts my eyes.


11. Sunshine [In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1997)]


Everyone knows this as Jay’s worst song, but compared to the following songs this ain’t that bad, though this video has to be the gayest video of all time, I mean Jay’s wearing a lime green suit dancing inside a rubik’s cube.


10. Hollywood [Kingdom Come]


This is like the Hollywood version of 03 Bonnie & Clyde only less Hollywood.



9. Do U Wanna Ride [Kingdom Come]


The most forgettable Jigga song ever. You get John Legend on a hook and the best thing you can think of him to sing is “do you wanna ride…with me”? Brilliant.


8. Minority Report [Kingdom Come]


The most blatant attempt at seeming like Jay’s got a heart. Also his flow on this has to be the gayest flow of all time. Beat was good and hook is there, just Jay didn’t deliver.


7. Dig a Hole [Kingdom Come]


Raps ok, but Jay is really just painting by numbers. This beat is also trashy. How can you rap to this?



6. Trouble [Kingdom Come]


Again raps ok, but this beat is trash and to think Dre produced this? WTF.


5.What They Gonna Do [The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse]


Timbaland on the beat and Sean Paul on the hook. Sounds good on paper. In reality, it produced one of the most “please play me in the club” songs ever.


4. 03 Bonnie & Clyde [The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse]


We don’t want to hear Jay-Z in love. And we don’t want to hear it over a classic Tupac riff.



3. Anything [Kingdom Come]


This is the “Anything” featuring Usher and Pharrell, not the other “Anything” that was on Beanie’s album for no reason, that one was good, this is garbageman music. A blatant attempt on Jay to get play in the strip club.


2. Justify My Thug [The Black Album]


This song is by far the gayest beat Jay has ever spit too, WTF were you thinking dog? You could have had a classic with The Black Album. And that whole one “one o’clock two o’clock” rah rah sounds like Ralphie.


1. I Know What Girls Like [In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1997)]


This is perhaps the worst song of all time, not just in Jay’s stash. I so can picture Puffy (that’s what he was called back then) saying, “This is gonna be the hot shit, take that, take that”.

i pretty much agree with the list except for trouble (beat is crazy, i can't ride with you on that), Do you wanna ride (beat hot lyrics good, the most forgetable jigga song ever? nah...) and Justify my thug (still will never understand the hate of this song...i made a thread about this once...), and i like girls best friend...but i understand how people could see it as a bad song.

Movements, Monikers, and Groups I support...
- the Nas lost Lost movement
- the Hell Rell lost movement
- the United Jigga Warriors of America
- the F.P.C.
- The Committee a.k.a Cutthroats Private Militia
- the emerging "GnS is bitchmade" movement
- the Dretox and all of Dretox's Aliases GTFOH movement
- the "Laser Nigga Pew, Pew, Pew!" slogan
- the Pac is the most influential rapper, and not the best rapper movement

the Reason Debates 3 coming soon...


LOL @ all of Nas's lawyers and the judge assigned to his child support case being Jigga Warriors.

Top 5 MC's DOA
1a) Nas 1b) Jay-Z
3) Ice Cube
4) Common
5) Scarface

...U mad?
