But of course Jay ain't from this new school of rap. Hence him being
disgusted by his lyrics and looking at this whole situation the way he
does.

Let's not forget that he's the guy who's said on more than one occasion
that he LIVED it and that all his shit is real talk. He's the cat who
accused Nas of creating his life in his notepad. If "it's all just
entertainment" none of that would even matter to Jay.
