that last verse just drives me crazy everytime i hear it, the way he describes how the loss of his nephew made him lose his faith and waiting for the birth of his newphews child that might bring back that faith. this dude is a poet, ....how dare u comare any rapper alive to hov
I like the video. and I like that Jay Z makes the video in the winter. and all his videos are not so good but I like this because it is genuine. since I like his jacket haha: P
I don't really liked how they slowed down the intrumental to "The Prelude" in the beginning here. It's a phenominal instrumental in its original form, and this is kinda fuckin with it too much. Oh well, nitpicking.
This beat is one fire becasue its a Dre beat. Dr. Dre said that he had been studyiong piano and composure for some time and this beat was the result. Good ol chill west coast beat...
Yo this video is DOPE make sure you have your head set in the computer with some good ass bass or hook it up with a stereo WITH SOME GOOD ASS BASS on it! Trust me this song is DOPE! Jigga did his thing u can't be mad!
go to the video jay z is a biter, he is a mad biter, but when he doesnt bite JAY Z IS AN AMAZING ARTIST. but i guess he doesnt know what hes capable of because half of hi songs came from biggie or other rappers
jay is a fantastic artist agree but if you really know hip hop jay does use a lot of other rappers lyrics. listen to cam'ron swagga jacker(jay diss) and you will see that jay does borrow a lot of stuff. but none the less he is still one of the greats.
but jay z got in mad trouble with the hip hop game for doing it, he does it the most and not borrow, he takes almost whole verses and shit for his songs, jay z is good but hes not the best, he "borrows" to much to be so, but i do like his music alot,
I believe J was talking about Rosario Dawson in the part where he speaks about the girl. They dated for 3 years and she was 23 at that time they parted ways, also he said "to ask her now it ain't fair" to B - his serious girlfriend at the time.
Do the research you obviously have the net , but like I said "I believe J was talking about Rosario Dawson". I just knew that he wasn't talking about Beyonce or Free because it didn't fit. The information on them dating before is out there. I'll say this though, at the time they were dating 2000 and the time they split 2002 her career was blossoming at high demand.
When Big Tigger interviewed Jay, he asked if the line was about Beyonce, Jay-z said "well, she is 25 now, so if it was, it's all good now".......at the time Beyonce was 25. Rosario wasnt, and neither was Free.
das y we neeed more mainstreem rappers like him..kanye nd weezy was hot but they fuckin rap up they using dem corny ass voicealizer and they b tlkin bout stupid shit
I like how he calmly addresses Jaz-O, Dame, and (still debated between Rosario Dawson, his former girlfriend and Beyonce, his current wife.) without it being a diss. Just speaking his feelings, and made it an amazing song too.
Jaz-o was part of a group called the Originators. He helped Jay-z get started with rapping and stuff. Then Jay-z surpassed him, and then Jaz-O tried to say he made Jay-z.
yo dis song is da shit u gotta lisen to the lyrics i think he mite be tlkn bout peedi cuz when peedi sed fuck hov at som concrt cuz he be sayin there group made hov
Yeah, I think he's talkin' about Dame too. Peedi ain't worth shit to Hova. Dame's the one that made Roc-A-Fella wit' Jay till they had that falling out. Business is business though.
LOL @ this comment, He's definitly not talking about Peedi. Peedi would LOL @ this comment, because he knows he couldnt fathom saying hes responsible for J's career. Its about Dame, mann!
I ´m sure that he doesn´t own the Excelero,because theres only one car,a prototype and at the moment it´s here in good old Germany.The real owner is Fulda tires.
The funny thing is he prolly really does own that car while these other rappers out here are just driving it for video shoots. Jay-Z's a mastermind with his clubs and raps and clothing. He's a beast that can't be stopped.
Nobody ever gives gangstarr (Guru & Premo) enough credit they seperate themselves from everyone cause its always a positive influence they represent look into it!
brov is me or Universal Music is killing all : rnb ,rap , hiphop music sound?
