During a sit down with MTV, Wayne says that Kanye played H.A.M. for him in the studio and didn’t feel the need to ask him about Jay-Z’s “baby money” line (which the hip hop world is taking as a shot to Wayne and company).
Actually, the subject that he’s talking about in that line, I can’t box with the god with that. I’ll be the first one to tell you that. Given my wit and the type of person I am, I’ll capitalize and play off of it.

I don’t think Jay meant it as a diss, they should’ve been cool after the beef they had in 06.
What does that mean?
I mean, I thought he would have mean’t: “baby money” as in short change; a small amount of money. Not “Baby money”, which implies that it was Baby’s money he is off of.
Niggas wanna take it like the second one, go ahead though. It’s your thing, do what you wanna do with it.
it was never a diss
FUCK BEEF !!
This is why it’s a subliminal. Jay-Z does this all the time, a diss that may or may not be a diss. Jay-Z is smart enough to know how everyone would perceive it. The album is called Watch the Throne, and Jay wants to defend his spot.
@Jimbo well put

Isnt that what a double entendre is?
Jayz always takes lil shots like this. Just like in “Thank you” off BP3 he dissed the Clipse.
even if it is a diss..
if wayne even tries to battle jay-z
WAYNE WILL BE FUCKING DEMOLISHED
but i wanna see it so this so called “best rapper alive” can be showed for what he really is..
just a no talent piece of shit..
listen to real hip hop
JETS FOOL
I love how you followed listen to real hip hop, with JETS FOOL…
i figured he was talkin bout niggas wit baby money as in broke niggas. i don’t respect niggas wit lip piercings anyway
^yep jay does those subliminals all the time.
Didnt feel it was a diss, but DAMN never even thought of it in that way! Just makes me realize how much a genius Jay-Z really is. But umm off the point but near it, Dough Is What I got was Wayne’s best response to Hov and I think is one of his best songs. So check it if you wanna
Lmao, Jay Z always puts out subliminals. I want beef though, Wayne needs to get embarrassed again.
@LouisTaylored, Duh.. why would they be talking about it otherwise? As in, if there was no reference to ‘baby’ what else infers it was a lil wayne diss?
You just stupid bro. Sorry.
why is everyone sayin the same shit on this damn thread?!
I noticed the diss from jump. If you didnt you are just not paying attention. But like baby said “I guess I am spending baby money”I think Baby really felt that they make more money off MUSIC then Jay. And in some years they def do.
Slim runs Cash Money not Baby and that nigga is smart. They have the greatest deal in the history of music they get 90 percent of sales 50 percent of publishing and own there own master since they started who the hell else got that?
lil wayne got baby money, jay-z got geriatric money…fuck em both
So let me get this straight if Jayz says the word baby then hes referring to Birdman ? How many times has he said the word baby in his rhymes ? He has also worked with Wanye and Cash money numerous times in the past. So now hes sending shots… COMEONSON
“I’m like really, half a billie? Nigga really? U got baby money? Keep it real wit niggaz, niggaz ain’t got my lady money.”
Thats how I heard it, as in respondin to a dude claimin he has “baby money” aka long dough. I dnt see a reason for him to come at baby like that. Wen has jay ever randomly jabbed at people, unprovoked?

(Hey Mr. Carter)
Jay respects their hustle so if people wanna see a battle they gon have to pick another opponent for Hov
i think waye would hold his own in a battle (hypothetically speaking)
yall forgot this guy survived a photo of him kissing baby in a hip hop climate that is very anti-homosexuality( im tired ok i dont know the word im looking for)
They both have intelligence and wit, but wayne has the energy to go back n forth if it comes to it and jay will get tired of it eventually. this is an old man here( no shots fired, i them both)
p.s who was the first rapper to refer to themselves as GOD MC? i know rakim, wayne and jay have all done it or implied it
yall are stupid as shyt baby been all over talking shyt saying that jayz doesnt have more money then wayne. he said this a while ago and if you dont feel like this is a jab back at baby’s comment u have to be an idiot. jay-z sends subliminal shots all the time. for example jay-z track “reminder” comming at joe budden
“tell them ordinary Joes button up”,
^^^ How much money does Jayz and Lil wayne have then? I really doubt Wanye has more money and what would cause Jay to start this if he is shooting at baby?
Jayz hardly ever answers a cry out for beef and when he does he dont use many subliminals , he usually goes for the throat and lyrically slaughters people. Go listen to the 2nd verse of Blueprint 2.
FUCK WAYNE JIGGA AND BIRDMAN I MEAN BIRDSHIT
i been caught that buddens diss but now that its brought up again.. damn hov, that was nasty as fuck..
its not a diss and thats the end of it…. i hate you all.
whoever said its not a diss (a subliminal one at that) is fucking retarded. anyone who actually listens to lyrics would know this.
baby aka birdshit said that wayne got more money they J.
the line j used in HAM has a fucking double meaning and IS a response to baby.
but we all know that at least 60% of hiphop listeners are ignorant. i’d say somewhere around 40% of hiphop listeners don’t even listen to lyrics. they only listen to hooks and beats and thats why wocka flocka has a “career”
go look at forbes if you wanna see who got how much money. J made 63mil last year…and Bey made even more. she made 87mil last year. wayne made only 20mil last year, but he was in jail so… J got a estimated networth of $450million

bwhahaha even the white folks over at forbes fucking get it.
http://blogs.forbes.com/zackomalleygreenburg/2011/01/11/jay-z-speaks-financial-truth-in-new-song-with-kanye-west/
On the track, released on Kanye’s Facebook page early Tuesday morning, Jay-Z complains that his competitors merely fantasize about what he does on a daily basis — including, but not limited to, schmoozing with Warren Buffet and Steve Forbes. He also cites this writer’s $450 million valuation of his personal net worth, rounding up slightly to “half a billie,” before taking a shot at a fellow Hip-Hop Cash King or two: “Really, you got baby money.”
The line is a double entendre meant both as a general reference to the small amount of money that other rappers have in comparison to Jay-Z, and as a specific reference to the wealth of rapper Dwayne “Lil Wayne” Carter, also known as “Weezy Baby,” and fellow New Orleans rapper and record executive Brian “Birdman” Williams, also known as “Baby.”
The latter recently claimed the former had more money than Jay-Z, which is, well, simply not true. Jay-Z earned $63 million dollars last year, tops on our list of hip-hop’s top earners, while Lil Wayne banked $20 million. Birdman did not make the list.
waynes wording is amazing
Jayz did a verse just last year for Drake , a young money artists and if Wayne is on Watch the Throne or Jay is on Carter 4 what you gonna say then ? That Jay is mad at Birdman. On H.A.M he is just spitting in all directions and hes talking about people with small money. Why would he single out one line instead of 2 or 4 lines ? Also Nobody can estimate Jayz money cause he been rich for like 15 years. I could elaborate further on the money but I respect the game so ill just let you keep believing you can count his money. People who still hate on Jay after all these years are just crazy.
Correction you can estimate his money but youll prolly be off by alot. Jayz – Rockstar look make a million dollars and kept it off the books. Blue Magic
of course jayz is gunna make more money.. wayne makes more free music
