[Chameire]

Dang this take it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day.....Damn I wish I could go back in time. Time for me to stop listening to the old skool. lol

[Reeseybaby]

Lol thanks 7ealston lmao

[Reeseybaby]

Let me ask you guys "the old school heads" before mary j blige sing this chorus what other female "orignal female artist" made this chorus. I heard it on the radio just now but they never said who was the artist & at the end of the song she says paradise, paradise. It would be appreciated anybody know the artist & title of this song

[7ealston]

@Reeseybaby Yeah Yeah! Your talkn to the Black Dick Clark! Lol! The othe female was Melissa Morgan! And the song was called, Fool's Paradise! The sample was taken from her song!

[southdallas00]

niggaz like my old shit, buy my old albums - jay z voice

[blizzyXL]

"My pops knew exactly what he did when he made me. He tried to get a nut and he got a nut..and WHAT!. Straight bananas...." till this day that line makes me shake my head wow

[Marceize]

"My Motto, Stack Rocks Like Colorado" - Jay Z ft. Mary J *CAN'T KNOCK THE HUSTLE* ..Real HipHop/R&B

[Tonybentley456]

Haha, I love how he runs behind the hoe first, wut a pimp.

[mrscwil27]

Sure can't...!

[snoop11080]

classic!!!!!!!!!

[douglasclan3]

i used to be addicted to this track!

[Npotter14]

apparently, nas made five accounts. and those girls have bad aim

[DadMakesMelol]

TUNE

[SonnyL]

The fact that this track has only 270k views shows all the Jigga dick-riders who've just hopped on his Kingdom Come, American Gangster, Blueprint 3 etc 'mainstream' bullshit.

Only 270k people know that Jigga's best album is by FAR '(Beyond) Reasonable Doubt'.

This is Jigga in his rawest form and also when Rap/Hip Hop was best.

Can't fuck wit 90s Hip Hop, whether you liked the East Coast sound or the West Coast sound. Both sounds were immense in their own right, miss it tbh.

[GaChristianHY]

@SonnyL the sad thing is jay-z knew he needed to hop on that ignorant shit to "double his dollars". money was his ultimate motivation and the quality suffered for it. this, vol1 and blueprint 1 (gettin sick of the singles tho) are the only ones worth listening to over again. I'm sure there are more true hiphop heads out there, but today's lyrical climate is downright depressing and i'm sure everyone is just layin' low for the next BIG thing.

[anthonyBleakney]

@SonnyL don't forget them geto boys in the south too my guy! 90's killed it though no doubt, and yeah jay's older shit is fresh as fuck. the only artists i listen to that are out now are j. cole (jay's prodigy) and wale, that dude can flow too.

[goollthebest]

Being a Tupac and The Game and Snoop fan west side music i cant say no to Jay z he has a Brooklyn swagger kills the song ! God rapper one of the best !

[Cadinhob0y93]

In "Fade To Black", Jay-Z says, "Of course the only way for us continue in Hip-Hop is to give respect to the past." In my opinion, old school Rap/Hip-Hop shows us how creative the artist was. Now rappers don't even care anymore about their genre of music.

[jman1052002]

@Cadinhob0y93 VERY TRU

[5toolplayer21]

SLAP!!!!

[PhilliesBlaze1]

At sportgames people would rise, players would put their hand over their heart and rap the first and last verse.
