Everyone say Jay is on the fall off because of what? It sure ain’t cuz of lack of lyrical content. So he done lost his touch but could still spit:

remember me, silver bullet hard top mentally/they think think I’m outta shape so I have to jog they memory/think with indelible ink, I let the pen go/verses permanently tattooed serve as mementos

50 can’t touch him, Nas can’t touch him, and on and on and on. It is what it is.

Jay said Nas and Em are on his level when talking about The Game trying to beef with him. He said Game ain’t on his level, people on his level are Nas and Em.
