Jay-Z-Pray American Gangster (9th Wonder Rmx)

[BlueMagicVaults]

Jay-Z dropped knowledge on this album

[seanmattzeph]

OHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!

[ayoitsmeeeh]

hahahaa tacky ass 808 never satisfied me.you cant turn the radio on without hearing an 808 actually. thats why it stays off.

[moetiz]

this shit is nyc all day~ it is what it is hot like the big apple,,,

[mhaze210]

obviously this sounds sick...and i listen to this a lot, but the original had it's own purpose...to introduce the album, with the feel of a Gangster film.

So with the 'gangster' beat, and Jay-Z's lyrics...it served its purpose beautifully.

But this song stands on its own, since its incredible.

(So, i can't lie and say this is better or worse than the original).

[joe5head]

The lyrics for this song are very underrated, check my remix for a more jazzy vibe, smooth ish ya hear?

[jasun27]

never really listened closely to the lyrics on this song until i heard this version. this beats married to the lyrics. much better!

[neosouljimmy]

CLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAN SHIT mah fam!!

[Makaveli456]

This makes the song so much better.

[puchito008]

damn this is niceeeee!

[youguy2]

beautiful 9ths beats will never die long after im gone and hhim to forever in the minds off the listeners

[ChopChoiceBeats]

This beat is SUPER!!!!!!!

[SHOGUNX8]

se he prays he aint no devil worshiper

[antman0719]

This has such a Golden Era type vibe to it! Love it!!

[koolanddagang12]

Dope, on wale's back to the feature mixtape, called "Sharp"

[DSTACKSMORE]

9th's is an inspiration to me, it like life has a purpose when you hears his music.

This beat is classic and Jay's lyrics works with it.

[pyle70]

What??? This is FIRE!!!

[DjFlyRy]

beat sorta sucks to me. i love the original. not this tho. i dont like ANY of 9th wonders beats.

[Complainer007]

somethings wrong with u, dawg

[KPrince2]

I like this version better

[TripleJCubed]

damn this ia just a chill beat

[ThatLoopDiggah]

/watch?v=7rcqhVBvp1Y big tune!

[elitehiphopswordsmen]

ahhh!!!! this beat is ridiculous sooo nice killed the original

[Yirmeyahu23]

its funny how laid back beats also elevate the lyrics cuz the song is so smooth feels like 88 all over again.

[iPAQ300]

this shit is hot!! it should deff be an adult swim bump

[BloodN3ss]

anybody know where the loop comes from?

[SIRnonsense123321]

9th =,,,,)

it amazes me!!!!

nonsense-

[RicRenR1]

Master beat! Can listen to it all day long!

Peace!

[McParadice]

not hatin' or offendin jay, but i think jay issnt capable for these kind beats, 9th makes hot shit, jayz also but not as hot as 9th, i could get high on this one without jay on the beat.

peace

[Shadapaga]

jay doesnt make beats he raps. listen to his b-sides and you hear more music like this.

[blackhaze21]

A hot beat, you know what its better than the original.

[YoungGun1312]

where do i get this cd from it raw and relaxing....

[HolyMaccaroni]

9th and Jay should realy team up it just fits better with 9ths beats

[MRPROH]

jay and 9th = music to get high and relax too......shit is smooth ass fire!!!....i rather see bet and mtv bump this all day then that commercial bullshit.....is the amercan gangster remixs by 9th on one full album???????i need to get this

[sputgop]

this beat is fucking amazing

[Ologyst504]

FY-YER!

[rfinch09]

send this to as meney people as you i;m sure it will get to jay cause i know two people who know him

[meechi4ever]

not 9th not all some small dj somewhere using old 9th beats and hooks not that he didn't know what he was doin but the only actual 9th wonder hook was no hook and i personally didnt like that one but everybody look at blue magic curtis mayfield 9th wonder remix thats fire

[saycosin23]

Jay needs to holla at 9th alot more

[magikfaire]

Sometimes stuff just FITS! This remix is an example of the appropriate beat married to the appropriate rhyme.

[theycallmeletts]

This changed my life...Omfg...

[magikfaire]

Oooh...Ridiculous! 9th is the king of the remix!

[keimeira]

Nah, It's 1000x better.

[sweav11]

100x better than the original... 9th did it again

[hisholyhoviness]

this beat makes me appreciate the impact of jays lyrics and the picture he was painting even more.

[YungSunny]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[hisholyhoviness]

wheras 9th wondrs beats are a fresh alternative to the original album.the original album was much beter

[TheBarberShop747]

best song ive heard in 6 fucking years

9th is like a breath of fresh air

[obarra27]

no fucking doubt he is.......

he got that soulful sound and its the shit.... at least for me it is

[HARDDRIVER73]

this was indeed his intention. he stated in an interview that his music is soul over beats!

[dafuturenikerep]

Yeah, Diddy and his team did a great job with the original album definitely. Diddy and his team got back on some 90s ish.

[Dodeca12]

9th is ill but damn alot of yall be jockin this nigga hard.

[woogleslap]

i think the reason niggas b jocking him hard is because 9th beats are so consistent. and he's straight hip hop. you can tell in his beats that he is a student of the music.

[1Redstud]

How much more dope would this album have been if 9th had done the producing? His beats are straight raw hip-hop.

[davidc594]

fuckin clean ..... This is the shit that make me want to make some music.

[maajin]

Why did'nt they release this!!9th is a genius!

if they released ( all of 9th Wonderbeats) this again would it be hotter?i say "hell yeah!!hands down!!!"

[terrickhillt]

American Gangster is a dope album, this track is a monster I think jay is afraid to touch these beats. On the real I need this, is there anywhere I get this track

[Complainer007]

this beats way hotter than the original. 9th's beat matches in perfectly with the nostalgic lyrics

[qwestknowledgeeno]

Head Dizzle...Little Brother

[skull123456]

This should of been on jay-z's album this track is FIRE

[EimajSsof]

I like American Gangster, and the Production...9th is ill though.

[DaBeatLab]

Yeah, this is not a offiacial remix.

But this comes to show that jay went real wrong on that american gangster album. He should have let 9th let do all of the production. The real american gangster album is just crazy wack. 808 is soo worn out. LETS GET BACK TO THE FUCKING ROOTS PEOPLE!

Crispy snares, banging kicks, real live hi hats, fat basslines!!!!

[size10vans]

what we call corrupt they call paying dues

[erthdirt1]

shut up bitch

[size10vans]

die

[WONDERWORLD19]

yes if he let him do that he would be selling millions and it will be a classic bring hip hop back!!!

[bnreal800]

have to disagree.. a.g far from wack, diddy did a good job,

[BlueMagicVaults]

@DaBeatLab

Yo

How can you say it was crazy wack when you uploaded this remix joint

You the know the lyrics and imagery is crazy, I agree the original pray has a weak beat and this is super dope

But that album was NOT wack at all

On lyricism alone, it should get credit

Best beats were Sweet, Ignorant shit, American Dreamin, Success, Party Life

[TheEazyDuzIt95]

@DaBeatLab American Gangster was an excellent album

[oskamadison]

This is a 9th track but I don't think he did this remix. This track is about 3, maybe 4 years old. I know he wouldn't throw Jay leftovers.

[lykewyze]

better than the original...

this brings the question...how come 9th wasnt apart of "American gangsta" i mean Jay wanted to go SOUl,but SOul w/o 9th???

[BooCou]

Shiiiiiiit!!

[ldanehy]

hot shit
