A tribute to Primetime...

September 1, 2011.

...No Deion.

Primetime, New Day, Made It In America and Murder to Excellence are my favorites off Watch the Throne.

With that being said, if you listen to Jay's word play on Primetime and tell me you don't understand why he's the best then something might be wrong with you....



















































Didn't catch all of that? It's cool, I didn't either at first.

Courtesy of NT's own "DeuceKing", a breakdown...

At forty-two (his current age) be better than twenty-four (a double entendre: because of his age number being flipped and Kobe's number, the Kobe part will be discussed later in the rhyme)

I carried the four-five, (a .45 caliber pistol) mastered forty-eight laws (The 48 Laws of Power book, very insightful)

Still wearing my twenty-three's (Jordans) they can't fuck with the boy
As far as them 16's (16's bars in a normal rap verse) I'm 23 (The Michael Jordan or rap, meaning the greatest of them all, also a play off of the 24 line from earlier) of it all
Prime time, ridin that six deuce (The '62 Maybach is the biggest and best Maybach you can get)

The nine-eleven (Ty Ty or Beyonce, I can't remember which one bought Jay a 911 Porsche Turbo a few years ago) I only subtract the roof
Started in eighty-eight (he started hustling in 1988 for the first time), got warm in ninety-two (he started getting into the rap game in 1992)
I landed in ninety-six (Reasonable Doubt his first album released in 1996), that's the year I came through.
