Conservative talk show host Bill O' Reilly and nationally-syndicated radio personality Rush Limbaugh had some sharp barbs for Jay-Z after hearing their names mentioned in an unflattering light on his new song Off That.
"This ain't black versus white, my n*gga we off that/ Please tell Bill O' Reilly to fall back/ Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls/ This 2010, not 1864," Jay rapped over the track.
"A regular Otis Redding, isn't he?" O' Reilly quipped in his response.
Limbaugh, on the other hand, was more long-winded with his comeback on his The Rush Limbaugh Show, saying "I have been mentioned in a rap song by the rapper Jay-Z�€¦ Is this [marking] a new development in my career to be singled out in a rap song by the famous rapper Jay-Z? I guess it is. As far as I know, I have never been mentioned in a rap song by anybody. I guess that means I've made it. I'm now in a rap tune by the famous rapper Jay-Z."
"I would remind the rapper Jay-Z; Mr. Z, it is President Obama who wants mandated circumcision," he continued, apparently missing the point of Jay's message. "We had that yesterday. That means if we need to save our penises from anybody, it's Obama. I did not know I was on anybody's balls. I'm happy to know that they think I am though."
Off That is featured on Jay-Z's upcoming album, Blueprint 3, which will hit stores on September 11.
-------------IN OTHER MENTIONS
...Came through and crushed the building.
CRITICISM OF “D.O.A.”: “I’m not hating on young people. Like, when people say that, I’m like, What are you talking about? It’s just stupid. I’m not hating on young people… I’m not Bill Russell, [saying] Michael Jordan ain’t shit. I’m saying Lil Wayne and Kanye are like LeBron and Kobe. My job as someone at the forefront of the game is to leave it in a better position than when I came in. Same way that Russell [Simmons] left it to me. ’Cause this thing saved my life. Literally. So I have a responsibility to it karmically. And after that it’s on you. I did my part. I made ‘D.O.A.’ I said it. I made the statement. I made the push. Here, y’all take it from here.”
HIS LEGACY AS FORMER DEF JAM RECORDS PRESIDENT:
“So if you ask me to grade my performance as the president, I’d say A-plus. No one can bat a 100. It’s impossible. I mean, everyone is looking at my shit. But if we really looked under the hood [of] every single [record exec] and the acts they put out in that time, I’d be comparable to anyone.”
