[NotoriousNYNJ]

Heres to the next 100 years Jigga!! Leh Go!

[Kruunuhaka]

I can't say that I like the sample. I mean, the original is a great song, and to me Jay Z made it less great. But that's just, like, my opinion man.

[jareddangerbond]

respect.

[aceofspad3s23]

This dude said "spend... more time finding your missing chromosome you down syndrome retard. Drown yourself"

I c someone be cuttin ass during spare time. :-P

Also gotta note everytime I hear an American Gangster song it sounds better live and in concert than CD. Them horns mang

[jiggymelt]

"murder when i swing yea." funny thing this could be jay-z's best song ever. ya, u heard it.

[ytvx]

@jiggymelt It's "murder when i sling yea" cuz he's slingin dope. I don't thing you can swing dope, it would fall of the seat as soon as you pushed it in the air.

[jiggymelt]

"murder when i swing yea." funny ything this could be jay-z's best song ever. ya, u heard it.

[sammybmore]

Jay is one of the few rappers who have stage presense...and he doesnt need 15 dudes on stage repeating every other word he says.

[fcbag]

@sammybmore And he plays with real musicians, this is awesome. Rare nowadays on hip-hop stage.

[wiltvideos]

@sammybmore If he did have those 15 people doing that, he'd be more popular

[rchs420]

weak lyrics but dope beat you could be put anyone over that beat and it would sound good

[leetmunstr]

This groove is heavy heavy heavy

[mqobongo]

ah this track is so hawt when its live

[MCLexicon]

Jay -Z 's mad-good, all respect due, best recognize.

[thefameGaGa231]

i agree with peetzilla. i mean i dont think rappers are as talented as a rock band or individual members of a band/musicians but thats my opinion and im not bitching about it unlike some ppl here. i still really enjoy rappers like jay though. if haters stopped looking up videos for them to hate on, youtube would be so much better.

[sigmun25]

"let your hair down baby, I just hit a score pick any place on the planet, pick a shore take what forbes figured then figure more cause they forgot to account what I did with the fraud pick a time lets pick apart some stores pick a weekend for freaking for finger force I figure frauds never hit a lick before so they dont know the feeling when them things get across put your hand out the window, feel the force feel the porsche, hit the frost ice cold, jewels got no flaws" WOOOOOH

[jabbapotamus]

jay z fucken rocks one of the best Kcunningham17 id like to see you do better

[isakramones]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rock!

[jinsabin879]

why is everything talking about singing? it's jay-z, he's a RAPPER, not a SINGER, we like it because it's smooth and cool

[yungking216]

HOV IS THE TRUTH

[thisismyytname]

Great sample they used by those white boyz Menahan Street Band. Pitty they didn't invite them to perform their song in person! Suppose we have to satisfied with mimers.

[Chazer78]

That crowd should be fucking greatful jay z is even fucking there he is the biggest musicion (dno how to spell tht lol) in the world he is a big time legend and his name will be mentioned for years and years and years.

[Kcunningham17]

@Chazer78 hes not a musician all he does is rhyme over music that his producers give him he cant sing write or play music therefore hes not a musician

[Chazer78]

@Kcunningham17

Are you the dumbest fucking twat ever? he writes his own music and thats live! i'd like to see you do any motherfucking better, send a video responce and if you do any better i will apoligize.

[Kcunningham17]

@Chazer78 90% of rap music is sampled the other 10% is written by song writers and studio musicians hired by the producers this song is an instrumental by the menahan street band called make the road by walking the only thing this guy writes is childish ryhmes that have no deep lyrical meaning or value

[Chazer78]

@Kcunningham17

Also put this /watch?v=Pu4unwnGaRI and i'd like to see you do any better.

[Chazer78]

@Kcunningham

Give me some proof that jay-z doesn't write his own music.

[Kcunningham17]

@Chazer78 i just did look at the credits for the american gangster album every song is sampled this song is called make the road by walking by menahan street band its an instrumental, the moronic babbling you hear are Jay-Zs so called lyrics

[brycebreezy1]

@Kcunningham17 wait im lost. as much as i dislike youtube arguments im confused as to how sampling songs has to do with writing your own lyrics? if its the sampling you have a problem with then take it up with the production team The Hitmen. i may not agree with everything Jay-Z stands for but to call him moronic couldnt be more incorrect

[Chazer78]

@Kcunningham17

Obvisouly you have no sence of sound, i bet you are one of those emo rock loving cunts, serisouly though if you can sing ANY BETTER THAN JAY Z live then i will so im sorry, but untill then shut the fuck up.

[Kcunningham17]

first off learn to spell you uneducated moron second he doesn't sing he raps 90% of the time the other ten he sings in Baritone which is a key that any person can sing in and im not an emo cunt i appreciate all music except rap because it steals other musicians work you clearly dont know anything about music just stop talking

[Chazer78]

@Kcunningham17, first of all i do know how to spell, and secondly you should learn how to use the correct punctuation, also it's very easy to say you know everything about singing/rapping over the internet because you can use google, oh yeah and jay-z doesn't write down his lyrics/songs he keeps them locked away in his mind, just like lil wayne does, i can also guarantee i'm more knowledgeable about music than you are, and don't bother telling me to shut up... because i won't. Thanks. :)

[Kcunningham17]

you made such a terrible argument i don't even know how to reply, you didn't even make a counter debate you just said i used google to get all of my information, which is false i know it because of my experience with music and even if I did use google which I didn't, it still doesn't deny the fact that Jay-Z doesn't write his own music, uses simple minded lyrics about being from the hood , and the few times he does actually sing he sucks at it

[peetzillA]

If you don't appreciate Rap Music tell me why you'd bother clicking on a JayZ film clip then typing 200 word essays about how bad he is. Nobody asked you to watch this video or give your pompous asshole reply about how rap music isnt real music. Spend less time beefing on youtube and more time finding your missing chromosome you down syndrome retard.

Drown yourself .

[egdapo]

@peetzillA LMAO at 200 word essay.. tell em son

[Smokes1677]

@peetzillA loool,,, u killed it......LOOOOOVE HIPHOP!!!!! respect to u ,,,eaaaazy ....

[bloooby]

@peetzillA ROFL , one of the best comments i have ever seen :D and yet, so fcking true

[Flyerthanablackman]

@peetzillA couldnt agree with you more but down syndromes have extra chromosomes... akward

[thamidwestmob]

@Flyerthanablackman haha I about lost it when I read that comment...somebody didn't pay attention during their meiosis lecture...

[jmlogan01]

@peetzillA - small technical point - Downs syndrome is an extra chromosome not a missing chromosome. Just for info

[irvin2cartel]

Man, dont be stressin and hatin. just enjoy the music in peace. if you hate rap music that much what u doin on this video then? why dont you waste your time on the music that you love. instead of writing pages about something you dont. peace.

[scomz1]

jay-z is boss in music wchich somebody sing like him, im vry fan !!!!

[memorysticky]

AFAIK  Tom Brenneck wrote this music. He's in the Budos! Guitar! ex moonjam guitarist/singer

[RoastMePls]

I don't believe you can really tell an artists value unless you hear him live. And Jay sounds like he's just in another league as anybody else.

[MrCoollike]

this song sounds so much better live like it is

[mousbilone]

best in live

[indomitablefacts]

[powertrust71]

[SilentBombr]

So cool to see a rapper with a band behind him. Keeps hard-working, talented musicians in jobs as well.

[Sarcasmo48]

Rap is ALWAYS better with the band. NERD was the same way, on kimmel with a full band, they KILLED it. Way better than the album.

[12gamehacker]

no country is yea i do agree with u cause the album is always

[xxgilsxx]

[shelana2008]

jay-z sounds live better his raw.

[ikenga02]

Amazingly Diddy and his team produced this song for Jay

[shblsh]

This is cool man. It doesnt even look like live. Its awesome.

[gish4265451]

50 Cent sounds live like shit but Jay sounds great!

[Fernad00]

what did u have to bring up 50? Jay is hot live, but 50 kills it too he just keeps it street oh his live performances u don't have to sound good live if the crowd is bumpin their heads to it it means u doing good ;) and no disrespect to jay is like 1 of the few rappers who sounds superb live.

[Fernad00]

why*

[Whackoffjackoff]

jay-z always goes big on his perfomance,

its so much better to watch live shows with the band behind the singer,

instead of singing to a backtrack.

[Sarcasmo48]

Agreed. I found the same thing with singers on Kimmel. NERD was on and just KILLED it, but when I downloaded the song it wasn't nearly as good without the band, particularly the horns.

[robinshagarag7]

it means rocafella

[xclusive305]
