Dre Dre, Jay-Z & 50 Cent) - Bad Meets Evil/Jay-Z/50 Cent [00:00.51]It is not about lyrics anymore [00:02.48]It's about a hot beat and a catchy hook [00:04.52]If we gotta dumb down our style and A-B-C it [00:07.55]Then so be it 'cause nowadays these kids [00:09.88]Just don't give a sh*t 'bout lyrics [00:12.59]All they wanna hear is a beat and that's it [00:14.82]Long as they can go to the club and get blitzed [00:17.20]Pick up some chicks and get some digits [00:19.57]And the DJ's playin' them hits [00:21.52]Oh this my jam [00:22.73]This my sh*t [00:23.91]We don't know a word to a verse all we know is the chorus [00:26.86]'Cause the chorus repeats the same four words for us [00:29.45]And the song's ginormous the whole formula's switched [00:32.49]'Cause we don't know anymore what are hits [00:34.39]Is it the beat [00:35.40]Is it the rap [00:36.27]Is it a finger snap or the same 808 clap [00:39.24]And how do we adapt and get TRL votes [00:41.59]When 13-year-olds control the remotes [00:44.05]And Ashley's got a brand new nose [00:46.20]We gotta put some new em-pha-sis on our syl-la-la-bles [00:49.12]If the emphasis on the compact disc [00:51.43]Is in the beat then I'm gon' feature Em and get rich [00:53.65]And let Dre mix the sh*t and drive off in the Range Ro [00:56.52]'Cause everywhere I go they love the bling bling flow [00:58.92]Bang bang look at the way my chain glow [01:01.33]The ring on my fing' cost your man a lot of dough [01:03.58]Oh the f**k am I bustin' my brain fo' [01:05.81]It's just the way the game go oh it takes two to tango [01:08.67]You call

[01:28.18]So you want the chat room or the house in Malibu Em [01:31.10]Your emphasis is on the wrong syl-la-la-ble [01:32.97]They said 30's the new 20 [01:34.30]Funny must mean 40's the new 30 [01:36.86]Interesting 'cause ever since then it's been in a sense [01:39.66]An extension for veteran rappers that are better than half [01:42.82]Of the sh*t coming out right now it's all trash [01:45.27]The torch is gonna burn out before it gets passed [01:47.67]Jay said it's his last then 50 and Em [01:50.15]Then what [01:50.75]Detox drops what do we got then [01:52.66]So now our whole
