NewsJay-Z Vs Lil Wayne AKA S. Carter Vs The Carter!?!?June 26, 2007 01:43:54 PM CDT | by Aliya EwingShare9 Lil Wayne vs Jay-Z? Is the battle of the year on the horizon? The industry is buzzing about Lil Wayne's verse on Freekey Zekey's "Beat Without Bass" which includes this supposed Jay-Z diss (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN): "You old ass rappers better stay on tour/ You like 44/ I got a 44/ I'm 24/ I could murk you and come out when I'm 44." And while Weezy never comes out and explicitly calls out names, it doesn't take much to put 2+2 together...plus, the pot has been bubbling since the December 06 issue of Complex Magazine in which Weezy stated "I'm better than (Jay-Z)...I'm 24 years old. ... I'm 13 years deep with five albums and 10 million records sold." He continued, "I don't like what he's saying about how he had to come back because hip-hop's dead and we need him...What the f--- do you mean? If anything it's reborn, so he's probably having a problem with that. You left on a good note, and all of the artists were saying, 'Yo, this is Jay's house. He's the best.' Now he comes back and still thinks it's his house... It's not your house anymore, and I'm better than you." Jay originally chose to keep quiet on wax, squashing the initial rumors about any real beef...until recently when a track leaked off of T.I.'s T.I. vs. T.I.P. album. On "Watch What You Say" (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN), Hov takes the soft route by not callin' out Weezy by name, but we all can elude to who he's talking about when he says: "I hear you baiting me lately / I've been doing my best just to stay hater free / Still... watch what you say to me / Sooner or later I take you up on your offering / Put you all in your place / Like I'm replacing your father / You're talking to the author / The architect of the Blueprint/ MY DNA IN YOUR MUSIC / Muthafucka... watch what you say to me."
