Lil’ Wayne’s first post-prison album, Tha Carter IV sprung a leak. On the track titled “It’s Good”, which also features Drake and Jadakiss, Weezy spit some fire and venom we haven’t heard from him in ages. But these weren’t your ordinary braggadocio rhymes. This is personal:
the verse says . . . . .
“Talkin’ bout Baby money, I got ya baby money, Kidnap yo bitch, get that how much you love yo lady money, I know you fake n***a, press yo breaks n***a…”
This all started in 2009, where Birdman stated in an interview that Lil’ Wayne was more lyrical and had more money than Jay-Z. Shortly after, Hov was asked about the statement by Angie Martinez on Hot 97. Then Forbes Magazine released their 2010 Hip-Hop Cash King list and Jay came in at #1 for a second straight year. Lil’ Wayne came in at #4. All seemed quiet on the hip hop front until Jan 11th 2011, when Kanye West and Jay-Z unleashed the first single off Watch The Throne, “H*A*M.”
Jay-Z:
“Really, you got baby money. Keep it real with n-ggas, N-ggas ain’t got my lady money”
Birdman took the bait and taunted (mainly via Twitter) Jay throughout the year. But to be fair he was constantly put on the spot about the line by interviewers. When Lil’ Wayne voiced his opinion to MTV’s Sway back in March, saying that he wasn’t looking to start another competition with Jay, he also hinted at a possible response. Is this a justified reaction? What happens next?

Although megastar rappers Lil Wayne and Jay-Z share the same surname, there have been rumblings over the years that the Carters have been in direct competition with each other. One of the latest flare-ups in the alleged feud happened with Watch The Throne’s first leak “H.A.M.” in where Jay-Z’s line “Really you got baby money” got the attention of both Wayne and YMCMB boss Birdman who responded to the verse via Twitter. Although Wayne initially brushed off the assumed jab, it appears that on a new song from Tha Carter IV may be reigniting a clash between the two rap titans.
On the track “It’s Good,” Wayne is assisted by Jadakiss and YM soldier Drake before launching a not so subtle shot in the direction of Jay-Z with the lines “talk about Baby money, I got your baby money/Kidnap your bi--h, get that how much you love your lady money” – with the lines appearing to be in direct response to Jigga’s verse. In the battle of rap superiority, both men have claimed their greatness and can certainly boast a litany of accomplishments between them. But even with their respective paths to fame, is this current dustup imagined or is the Lil Wayne and Jay-Z beef headed towards an epic head to head showdown?
Fans have been chiming in on the song shortly after it leaked to the Web with fans, especially on social networking site Twitter. User @bigfella1906 said, “Lil Wayne knows exactly wat he doin. Jay z know it too. #publicity” while fan @FerrariBacardi added, “Jay-Z vs. Lil Wayne is gonna be awesome. Even if its only sub dissing... We gotta catch all that.”
Fans have been going back and forth over the supposed dis; with some openly wondering what Jay will say in return while others are thinking the move is calculated. Whatever the case, this makes Lil Wayne’s upcoming August 29 release of Tha Carter IV even more intriguing as he continues to climb his way back to the top of the Hip Hop mountain. Stay tuned as this story will certainly develop.
