Is it Oochie Wally or is it One Mic?

A phrase used to point out hypocrisy and double standards in an individual, organization or government.

Coined by Jay-Z in his song "Blueprint 2," where he uses it to point out then-rival Nas' double standards, wondering if his true self is portrayed in his socially conscious songs (One Mic, Black Girl Lost) or in his misogynistic club songs (Oochie Wally, You Owe Me)
"Can't y'all see that he's fake, the rap version of T.D. Jakes
Prophesizin' on your CD's and tapes
Won't break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith...
Is it 'Oochie Wally Wally' or is it 'One Mic'?
Is it 'Black Girl Lost' or shawty 'Owe You' for ice?"

I don’t know why. But I really think the new music that’s being released today sucks ass. I have a very big discography and I’m always listening to good music especially around the late 1970s and early 1980s era. I wasn’t even born then. But I always have a lack of music that’s been released in the 2000s. Especially the 2010s and 2020s. Music these days is so bad it’s absurd. I thought music was horrible back in 2004, but it ain’t nearly as shitty as today’s honk of shit. Music from 2004 actually sounds good in comparison to what they’re playing today. And I was only 13 back then. It’s a disgrace, I honestly think the new music dumbs you down, I can feel my IQ dropping when I listen to it...

Probably had something to do with Bill Clinton signing something in 1996 or something. That allowed radio stations in America to buy as much stations in a market that they could, so all the big corporations bought out all the media and destroyed the music industry. Anything that’s been released since 1996 basically has been crappier than the music that came before, if you ask me.

This is a phrase into a word which is unnecessary long to become a word, but why not add it?
A: Dude, I got this random word I wish was on Webster...
B: Bro, What is it?
A:Bippity-boppity-doo, which is a word-by-me-which-no-one-knows-or-uses-because-it-is-not-in-the-Webster-dictionary-so-I-wrote-this-word-in-the-Urban-Dictionary-site-which-gets-my-creativity-of-words-into-action.
B: You wrote it into Urban Dictionary???
