Jay Z is often the topic conversation for an array of reasons, but it was a line aimed at Drake on the “We Made It (Remix)” that most recently sent the Internets into a frenzy. If anything, the diss (if you want to call it that) was a reaffirmation that the Brooklyn native can aim slick lines at rap opponents with the best of them.
Longtime Hov fans are familiar with the MC’s long history of throwing subliminal shots, conspicuous jabs, and the like. But for those who aren’t (or those who enjoy hearing it), we went ahead and listed 15 of our favorites shady lyrics from different points in Jay’s career for your listening pleasure. Needless to say that some bars are more overt than others, but the context of the situations behind the words may have called for that.
In support of Moguldom Studios’A Genius Leaves the Hood: The Unauthorized Story of Jay Z, a documentary that shows rarely seen sides of one of the most highly accomplished MCs to grace Hip-Hop, peep the list on the following pages. Also, be sure to cop the flick that most were afraid to make here.

“So Hot (Some Like It Hot)”
“I’ma bout a dollar/WTF is 50 cents???”
That will teach you to try and rob the Jiggaman.
“My Mind Right (Remix)”
“You think n***as was shooting your fat a** out of canons before?”
Remember Ma$e’s Harlem World movement? Nah? OK, then.
“Hova Song (Outro)”
“Retrospect ain’t been the same since I lost my dad/He’s still alive, but still f**k you, don’t cross my path”
Before Jay and his father reconciled, the rapper was very critical of the man who left his family high and dry. We’d say all critiques were warranted.
“Is That Yo B*tch?”
“She keep calling me B.I.G. and my name’s Jay-Z/She be all on my d*ck”
Allegedly aimed at Charli Baltimore for…actually, he was definitely talking bout Charli.
“No Hook”
“So f*ck DeHaven for caving”
It’s bad when you can take an uncommon name a flip it for a diss rhyme.
“Imaginary Player”
“Your single was 99¢, mine was four bucks.”
Imagine how many rappers complained to their labels after verifying this line for themselves.
“What We Talkin’ Bout”
“Now you could choose to sit in front of your computer/Posing with guns, shooting YouTube up”
All you struggle WSHH rappers, he’s talking to YOU.
“Murda Murda (Marcyville)”
“Jayo you’re not a felon/you’re a Misdeamnor”
Has anyone seen Jayo Felony?
“So Appalled”
“Unlike Hammer/30 million can’t hurt me!”
Digging up old financial wounds didn’t bode well with Hammer. He kicked a struggle diss for the ages.
“Holy Grail”
“But look what that did to Hammer”
Damn Jay, again?
“Cashmere Thoughts”
“F*ck if your leg broke b*tch/Hop on your good foot.”
It’s hard out here for a pimp. Even harder on Jay’s former hoes.
“Ride Or Die”
“Especially those who get f*cked for their publishing”
This was the calm before the storm in the Nas rap war. And that’s without mentioning the lines aimed at Ma$e.
“Takeover”
“You made it hot line/I made it a hot song”
Presidents that were long deceased sparked one of Hip-Hop’s biggest beefs.
“Pump It Freestyle”
“It’s Hovi baby you Kobe/ Maybe Tracy McGrady/Matter fact you a Harold Miner, J.R. Rider/Washed up on marijuana/Even worse, you a Pervis Ellis/You worthless fella/You ain’t no athlete, you Shawn Bradley”
Yeah, Joe Budden responded, but was there really any coming back from this?
“Supa Ugly”
“I came in your Bentley backseat, skeeted in your Jeep/Left condoms on your baby seat”
We’re all for truces, but ask 10 men if they could forgive someone who said this. Yeah, exactly.
