With Jay-Z and Nas getting older, 50 Cent concentrating on making billions off kool-aid, and Eminem someplace doing oxy, 'Ye TIP Wayne and Jeezy have gone out of their way to acknowledge each other as the new gen...look at Wayne acknowledging 'Dr. Kanye as one of the brightest...and Dr. Jeezy can fix you up the tightest' (on 'Dr. Carter) and Jeezy going 'got a phone call from 'Ye, put my ad-libs on his song/sold 3 million records DAMN I put him on' (on the 'Put On' remix with Jay-Z, and referencing Jeezy's ad-lib of 'ha-ha' and 'cheeeea' on the Kanye single 'Cant Tell Me Nothing') Also significant, because Wayne and T.I. have long had subliminal disses rumored to be at each other--Wayne: 'If you the King then where your castle at?' 'Another rapper make a song about me, I'm throwin shots back at em' T.I.: 'Wearin a white t on your album cover dont make you no dope dealer boy' (on the track 'I'm Talkin to You' where he gives props to basically every rapper in the game EXCEPT Wayne) The snip you quoted is actually even more relevant when you consider that the ‘Jeezy’ being referred to is Young Jeezy and not Jay-Z; Jeezy and T.I. go way back (as a tandem calling themselves ‘Hustle and Blow’, with Jeezy in the role of the latter), and the respects paid to Wayne and Kanye echo sentiments that have appeared on records put out by all four of them over the last year.
