  • From a review of Jay-Z's Blueprint 2:

    -- The second disc opens with a stripped-down ''Diamonds Is Forever'':
    DB: I liked the straightforwardness of it.
    ND: There was a moment of clarity: ''Yeah, I sold drugs and I feel bad about it, but this is why I did it.'' That line ''I come from the city where the skinny niggas die'' is almost poetic.

    FAIL! That's a 2Pac line. Jay's a good artist, but, if you're reviewing a rap album, you ought to be able to recognize that.
