jay z can i live II

[electricturf]

hova is grown ass black man music. hell na i cant reach up to that.

[kuunal]

murderous beat!

[BigJamz96]

this go hard as fukk!! As good as the 1st one for shure

[MobKnowledge]

I was more into Nas as a teenager, and underwent the things teenagers do. Now that I'm 21, I'm feeling Jay more. Nothing else can convey the mood of a maturing, ambitious young man quite like Reasonable Doubt.

[AlizeCiz]

fuck outta here NAS STANS

[troydawg47]

one of a few jay z tracks that I like.

[3399A]

JAY-Z THE KING !!!

[TehParadoxFaN]

JAY-Z THE KING !!!

[BabexiGenieaa206]

hehë_í_fëêl_sÒ_lØnÈlY_tÒDÁY

[GaChristianHY]

damn this song just ended Reasonable Doubt perfectly. Classic album from top to bottom...

[MrFan32]

nas > big > jay

[Makolyte]

To all my niggas that hold coke in they bubble coat, can i live?

[jerzy862]

Bleek ripped this shit

[kingquazy]

@jerzy862 I gave you thumbs up because he sure did. But... its a known fact. Jay and Memph both admit Jay wrote it for him.

[thekauze]

why is everyone hatin' that he switched up his style? c'mon people, really? this was 14 years ago. of course he's not gonna rap exactly the same as he used to. he's the richest rapper to ever live. his net worth is more than 450 million dollars. seriously, you think if he was still rappin' about slangin' and clappin' gats that people are really gonna believe him? and why would he even want to lie in his rhymes? it's a good thing he switched up styles. he rapped sick then and he still raps sick.

[MikeMagician12]

@thekauze his flow was better back then thats why

[anealzone6]

don't even hate on those that hate me, i got pac on . jay was killin niggaz before they even came out -_- #killyoself

[omgjustview]

This is can't knock the hustle, not Can I live...

[RDoubt96]

@omgjustview No this is not Can't Knock the Hustle nor Can I Live. This is Can I Live 2. Its a bonus track on Reasonable Doubt.

[Skylights44]

Dont even hate on those that hate me! --- Thats Gangsta!

[MyS0ngList]

Jigga got the lyricist skills but he chooses not to use em anymore. What a shame. I mean, I understand he's been in it for years and can't keep rapping about the same shit it's hard but he lost his old school style he's now a mainstreamer.

[getrapedpmfl69]

i blacks out, i pulls the macks out i scream whats that baout then i clap out. "don't even ate on those who hate me i got pac on" this is sick. he is so good stop comparing two classics and enjoy guys

[jackiemoon04]

its a damn shame he switched up his flow...a Damn Shame

[716June]

WHT UP DIS YA BOI JUNE CHECK OUT MY MUSIC ITZ HOTT......

[spliffgame]

"all my niggas that say pause after they say some fucked up shit" son...thats the definition of Trend-Setting. My dude Jay-Z was saying pause before dudes even knew what that meant. Nowadays dudes wanna be like "pause" son, Jay was saying pause in the 90's my dude.

[Semyasei]

sorry this doesnt come close to the first one.... and memphis came weak...

[naruto1oo000]

he looks like allen iverson at 0:52

[roller237]

"To all my niggas who drink hennessee straight!"

[soofly01]

Ya I sold drugs for a livin thats a given why is it?

Why dont yall try to visit the neighborhoods I lived in.

[Rico11756]

I Thought This Song Was Called "Can't Knock A Hustle" At Least That's What It Say On My CD

[hotrod2c]

@Rico11756 cant knock the hustle is the first song on reasonable doubt

[bhav213]

this aint on my reasonable doubt cd?!!

[usmarineoneil]

@bhav213

it's on the original, the one with the two bullets over the Y in Jay-z.

[rdotpatterson]

@usmarineoneil i have the album with the 2 bullets over the y and this isnt on it

[ChiCagOh1]

can't believe u would say this is better than can i live

[TreMurr]

the percentage of those who dont understand are higher than the percentage who do..

check yoself, what percentage are you?

[islipterrace11752]

@ChiCagOh1 it is better then can i live listen to the lyrics and ull understand

[raoulhery]

back then jigga was so hungry

[Def4Daph]

This song was better than pt.1! It's beautiful with tha sound's of the horns yo!

Jayz and Memphis..and he spit this nice!

[supakev97]

@Def4Daph quit playin fam lol. Not even close! It's nice but...let's be serious.

[KingARSENAL14]

its nice..............but cmmn dawg! Can I live is the greatest HOV SONG EVA!!!!

[rdiaz21]

the beat is sampled from 24-carat black's song mother's day.... all those who want the beat or whatev.. you could just sample that and make a beat out of that... just a suggestion...

[ChiMoneyXL]

The percentage who don't understand is higher than the percentage who do. Check yourself, which percentage is you?

[callmejayz]

there r so many classic lines in this track, thats what i love about j, almost every song theres a line u just love to listen to

[dakidkossreturns]

Damn bleek was 18 when he recorded this

[bozio89]

i was just thinking that today when i was listnein to it and jay was like 27 which is crazy to...i didnt know he was that old when he dropped resonable doubt

[Def4Daph]

yea i realize he was young as hell lol!

I think he 35 now? Dude still young and strong. Wish Jaz-O spitted on this beat

[Phat20s]

anybody got the inst. to this?

[jameijack]

where da hell is da instrumental

[JAYBIRD75961]

man I want this instrumental

[Def4Daph]

I do too man where the hell is it?!

[978free]

yo bleek nd jay made dis song hot

dis a hot recored

[Game4564]

dis track go hard

[jay58oconnor6]

woooah jigga spits a hard flow on dis one

[heronmusic2000]

One of tha sickest tracks ever made.....

[gohard3O1R5gohome]

i want this beat so bad

[ghouling]

this is off the streets is watching soundtrack

[diamondog1974]

This is jay- z's best album of all time...hands down!!! love it ;) He freestyles EVERY song for real...and every line means so many things..S.carter=genius

[dakidkossreturns]

nah i doubt that

he`s saying some clever shit to complex to come straight off the dome

[lowery27]

na but thats y hes awesome though, he doesnt write shit down, he started the process of remembering his raps when he was younger and he can remember whole verses like that, it just comes easy to him, he was just born to do this shit and is obsessed with being the best, thats y hes the greatest

[justicethegenius]

Just like Biggie- that's one of the reasons for the initial mutual respect

[KillaPoser44]

somethin about this shit makes me like it o.o

[Lugen]

classic..

[somp]

big ass snare

[tobin834]

the beginning is sick to me for some reason.. BUM BUM BUMMM YEEEEEAHHHH haha

[tobin834]

good god that's amazing

[kflavaa]

i want this beat so bad any body no where i can get it???

[twellsskater]

just get it off youtube - duh!

[Josiah703]

number 1 was better

but i still digg it

[TMAC33000]

They are so different you can't really compare them.

[philfee83]

aint been a track/beat like this since an its fukkin amazingly funky. Timo, Dre, pay attention lol

[hellgiver21]

I really love this song. It doesn't even share the same vibe that the rest of Reasonable Doubt does. This sounds more like 2000-2003 rap. So ahead of his time.

[MrTSquared]

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. It sounds like contemporary rap these days... some Blueprint 2 shit or something

[peteandjordanlover23]

fuckin sick my nigga 2nd was sicker than 1st one in my oppion

[chickenwang4]

first one was mello maybe ma favorite jigga joint ever... but this joint just get me going kid i just turned 18 and this joint was it at ma birthday and ma lile brother's 5 nd he loves both of em... lyrically first one's a masterpeace "dreams of gettin creme lets do this it gets tidious so i keep one eye open like cbs... u c me stresss RIIIIIIGHHHH cannn i livee"... 2nd joint was just on some hood anthem type ishh "dont even hate on those who hate me i got PAC on, FEELLIN IT FEEELIN IT"

[SUPREMEdonuan]

The 1st one is better. The 1st one of my favorite Jigga songs of all time. Definintely in the top 3.

[MiszGotabody]

@SUPREMEdonuan u think so? i honestly like this one betta cuz its jus different. edgy i guess. love hov (preferebly the 90s hov)

[magmatizem]

the first one is better

[KBoogs719]

hell fuckin no, this shit is so hard its ridiculous. but its a playa thing, u gotta b on that level to feel this, its not ur fault.

[magmatizem]

Ur right, it's not might fault that i'm above that level.

[KBoogs719]

fuck u.

[purdue2009]

This is ill as fuck, but Can I Live I is the greatest rap song, I've ever heard.

[KingARSENAL14]

@purdue2009 i no, the 1st verse is beyond anything ive ever heard

[callmeMJokay]

@purdue2009 i agree dat the first one is better, but do u really think its the best rap song ever!? Reasonable Doubt alone has Dead Presidents and Brooklyns Finest and even D'evils. maybe these are not better but they all are so good i couldnt really pick one over the other (except MAYBE Brooklyns Finest) not 2 mention the many other sick songs Jay-Z has like City is Mine, Lucky Me, & way too many 2 name. i feel he has at least a couple songs better. but its ur opinion & its all good. jus sayin

[magmatizem]

Ur welcome.
