  • The City Is Mine!

  • I watched this video before I had seen the movie "The usual suspects". Totally ruined the ending for me.

  • Remove the attitude that shutting me down that somebody cant because God is somebody else! Remove the attitude that people should shut me down that my reality should be based on shutting me down or building an empire for somebody else to run!

  • Remvoe the attitude that the male whome I desire could include love or has disdain for me and or is a good fit but is not going to emotionally connect completely with me says that God is nobody or poop to be walked over this causes everyone to exist, and have better things or do whatever they want!

  • Remove the attitude that people who are here in my cities and inside me have to be okayed to lie to me! Remove the attitude taht people who lie to me are more popular and or people whom are indifferent or have a dislike for me!

  • Remove the attitude taht when someone helps me i can only help them in a so, so manner meaning there has to be a problem with it, or aknowledgement that I am poop!

  • Remove the attitude to be God you have to know me or I know you!

  • Remove the attitude that the white man has to save black people especiallty from me! Remove the attitude that I should be spoke about a euphesism like poop or something else! Remove the attitude that I should be displayed in a symbolic manner liek the village idiot of poop, and that this person or thing can sit in for me!

  • BATMAN'S THEME SONG

  • what's the name of the song at 1:10?

  • Are you tryna get a rise out of me Rapanport?

  • Indeed...NY

  • Best clip and song of Jay-Z

  • jova u need to do a movies son.... love this kid

  • MORAL TO THIS VIDEO: He played the 'half-wit' or lame' with a physical handicap, while all the while, and in reality he was the "Mastermind"; and by the time those who looked down upon him, and talked down to him realized it, he had jetted off to his escape."

  • thamz way up you got one of them ipads they was givin away at bit.ly\sUdqni

  • Is it wrong to say that this song made me loose respect for Jay? I understand hes showing respect to Big.. but saying that the city is now yours after his death..cmon. Biggie will always be the King of NY. He needs to stop thinking hes as tight as Biggie, cause hes not. No one is.

  • @kimeBaksh Like a Monarchy Kingship follows a line of succession biggie was the king and after his death Jay Z took the crown and has reign ever since. (50 cent was projected to be the next in my opinion but idk wtf happened to that nigga(

  • @Phobias777 this isn't a Monarchy Kingship, it's hip hop. Just because someone dies doesn't mean you have the right to claim their tittle. When Jay called himself the new King of NY, that's like him saying that hes as good as Biggie, if not, better. I mean if you're going to claim someones tittle, make sure your on the level they were on. Even today Hov's no where close to where Big stands. LOL 50's next? No point to argue you with you over this, you have no clue what hip hop's about, clearly.

  • @kimeBaksh no shit. its all figurative speech u mad? dumb bitch.

  • @Phobias777 acting hardcore with the keyboard? Nice.

  • @kimeBaksh It's not wrong, everyone has opinions. I just don't agree with yours.

  • @dametuculodulce The fuck you listening to it for then you faggot ass white boy?

  • @geiuy you and teddy riley can both suck diarrhea out of a homeless mans asshole

  • lol damn i fucks wit jay z's music but he shouldnt act that shit looked so bad

  • man this used to get me hyped, I remember living in Elizabeth NJ when this album came out. I would catch the Path train into the city get off at the World Trade station I used to rock a small little boom box that rocked tapes and qued it so the second I stepped off the train I hit play and this song played loud, hahaha sounds corny but NY and the time was different all together

  • @kalif151byccrew I do that when I'm going to work I live in nyc its like the song makes you feel like your in a movie lol

  • Comment removed

  • Keyser Soze!!! LOL

  • You know you're a legend when you outlast the R&B group that you starred in the video with. lol

  • this is one of the best song this man had done at the time

  • miami vice

  • the intro is a a homage to "the usual suspects", right?

  • @aristotleXY Yeah. I actually think it is. There is a lot of similarities. Jay-Z loved the Gangsta movies. "now your falling right into they lap fallin they applaud and they screaming at the screen. damn you f**ked up like their favorite movie scene Godfather, Good Fellas, Scarface, Casino you've seen what that last run did to Deniro"

  • @aristotleXY yes

  • High School, system in the back of the Blazer and this blowin out the JBL's....ahh good memories!!!

  • feels like i haven't heard this song in like 10 years and its some of his best work still

  • the guy in the beginning talking to jay z is making a film about a tribe called quest or something

  • "My piss comes out like snot"LMAO

  • 4 people don't know who the fucking city belongs to

  • the use of the archetypal role of the devil is common through out this entire song, not calling Jay-Z a devil worshipper, but a master of lyrics and dropping a hidden meaning soo eliquently that it plays off your ignorance as a consumer, you wonder why this is bumped in the hood? well, what's good in the hood? not much... simple move right out of the playbook, it's like hiding the worship of god in lyrics, so that subconsciously christians will purchase through predisposition and cognitive bias

  • "What the deal playboy, just rest your soul I be holding it down yo still love the dough"

    who holds down your soul through the love of money, and what is money the root of?

    Got the whole world on lock down you know how we flow Don't worry about Brooklyn I continue to flame

    my hatred is, fueled just give me a sign And I let the world know that the city is mine"

    THIS PLACE IS A MESS VINNY...IT ALL MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT RIGHT?

    learn to recognize use of archetypal roles, satan^

  • kiedy to było ?! i ja tego słuchałam :)

  • Does anybody know any other songs that have the same vibe as this one? Like I'm on my grown man shit. Classy shit.

  • @jromero951 try "i love the dough", another classic from him and biggie.

  • @alexDRV187 that's exactly what i was talking about. if you know more keep them coming man!

  • If you like Jay Z, you are most likely to stay with him to the end as if you were an MJ fan in loyalty currency. I recall liking Jigga from that song with R. Kelly and Changing Faces from Space Jam soundtrack. Fill in the gap if you recall lol

  • @charms71 we ride jay-z r kelly

  • my fav jay song by far

  • I snatch your girl cause your arm ain't strong enough

    Plus ya don't stay in the studio long enough. That line is ill.

  • Michael Rapaport is, was, and always will be black.

  • Jay-z was a writer at one time?? not a biter?? 1997 was probably the last year radio rap was alright

  • I snatch ya girl cuz ya arm ain't strong enough, plus yall dont stay in the studio long enough.

  • /watch?v=24OVnXx0cGw

  • How can you compare this crap with Nas and illmatic???

  • loool I just watched Usual Suspects again (didn't remember anything) but this video gave away the ending lmaooo

  • loved this song/video as a kid but i just watched usual suspects for the first time yesterday and i was kinda mad with like 30 minutes to go it clicked with me what happens at the end of this music video and i realized what was going to happen lol

  • "They'll flip ya, They'll flip ya good Skippy!"

    I really like the moviesegments in it, and Michael Rappaport is cool so

  • Michael Rapaport from Prison Break is in this. One of my favourite actors.

  • Thank you very much for the share - you have some great stuff

  • the usual suspects

  • micheal rapaport in the beinging

  • jay-z is my fav rapper, damn he's got so many good verses and beats it's so much fun listening to his music over and over and over haha

  • the Usual Suspects yo

  • I completely forgot about this song. Wasn't that Blackstreet in the video and on the hook?

  • @penabaza I laugh everytime he says FUCKIN' COPS

  • I can't believe this is a Neptunes beat..... dat sax

  • @420hene it's not a neptunes beat,it's teddy riley's

  • @geiuy lol smart dumb ass n***a Chad Hugo plays the sax in this song, so suck my bawls and like it

  • @420hen Can't you use wikipedia you fucking dick head?This is teddy rileys style,hugo only played the sax.you don't know shit about hip hop if u can't recognize teddy riley's 90's style!how old are u?12?tough cyber kid,now go back to sucking your dad's cock

  • "Are you trying to get a rise out of me agent rapping-poor" -ROTFL!

  • who is the guy in the film clip? he's a f'ing legend, agent rappaport or whatever

  • @MackLayton michael rappaport...

  • lol...great parody of Usual Suspects!

  • @Vash1286 it's not a parody, this came out wayyyyyy before the usual suspects lol

  • @Renzo254 lol

  • @Renzo254 you are wrong it came out 2 years after the movie...

  • It ws a realy rap music nowadays its shit-music BROOKLYN RULES

  • remix better than the original on my channel

  • Comment removed

  • You don't hate Jay Z you hate his money and that he looks like a camel and still got beyonce!

  • My remix to this song. Without the wack chorus.. Let me know what you think?

  • @Vokab27 wack haha sounds like you've been under a roc for 10 years!

  • @IAMFILKRIS I still think my remix is better...

  • Comment removed

  • @Vokab27 i just listened and not saying i could do better but the verses don't match drums. No contest no offence but you can't boast about your remix being better than a classic song and then display that. Just my opinion.

  • @IAMFILKRIS I appreciate the feedback. But In my opinion this is one of the worst Jay Z songs of all time. Sampling that cheesy "Glen Fry" "You belong to the city" sounds like Velveeta to me. So I thought mine had a better vibe just my opinion and I am not trying to boast. Just having fun. But like I said thanks for the feedback..

  • @Vokab27 aint nothin cheesy bout glen frey's version!...but thats your opinion...i thought that version was hot!

  • @IAMFILKRIS ok i agree we disagree.

  • @IAMFILKRIS that's great. now agree ur talkin to urself and u need to stop doin it. i hope u got the comment u sent to urself.

  • @pqstr i don't need to explain nothing to you, you might aswell be talking to yourself you litlle picky idiot, now agree your biggest queer around and you need to stop sucking dick before you get aids.

  • Comment removed

  • @IAMFILKRIS u moron I wasn't even offendin u, I was just jokin, u obviously didn't even get what I mean cuz ur too dumb and too busy eatin the dirt outta ur nose but the hell with u fuck off and the only faggot around here is u, everyone can tell if they read our comments so stop thinkin that everyone's like u just cuz u are, meatball, get it maricon

  • @pqstr i wasn't offended, your jokes are shit, snot comes out of your nose not dirt.... who's dumb now? faggot? haha you protest too much, "everyone can tell" sounds like you think everybody is just like you, so suck a meatball, get it mekiko?

  • @IAMFILKRIS you were obviously offended otherwise u wouldn't have reacted that way. so what if ur correctin me in english fool. what makes u think i'm a native english speaker. i guess it's my good english ain't it? that don't mean anyone's dumb idiot. not everybody is a normal person like me cuz there are obviously fools like u. and please knock it off with this bein in denial cuz ur daddy is a cocksucker. n would u mean meiko? ur such an idiot that u still don't know what i originally meant

  • @pqstr No. I weren't offended at all, If something as shit as your comment offend's you, then you must really toughen up a bit, learn english properly fool, you can't describe what you mean, This makes you an idiot, Stop offering to help me knock one off aswell as having fantasies of my father, oh and i'm not american Maricon, get it MEKIKO!, Go and join a mariachi band or something you fuckin salsa, my salsa salsa salsa salsa, my salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance, MY SALSA hahahaha

  • @IAMFILKRIS obviously somethin like my comment does not offendo not cuz it's soft but cuz it's objective was not to offend but just to tell u that by mistake u posted a comment to urself. i know english properly enough but even if i didn't, do u speak all the languages in the planet? why don't u learn spanish or mandarin or whatever. I didn't say ur american faggot n maybe u should try comprehend comments cuz wat i said has nothin to do with no fantasies of me n ur faggher imbesil

  • @pqstr then why say "i didn't mean to offend you" if your comment could not offend nobody? I Know i made a comment to myself..... So what? How do you know i'm from a country that speaks english as it's first language, What the fuck is maricon? you don't "know" english well at all hahahaha!

  • @IAMFILKRIS well,not everyone is as tough as ur sissy ass. u just don't even have a sense of humor.ur not even makin any sense at all whatsoever. i'm not even mexican u ignorant,lmao,ur comment just shows ur ignorance in an effort to offend me ur stupid mind is only revealed.one more ignorant.i could go on sayin things about u havin nothin for girls but a tiny little penis for mice or gettin racist about asians but i'm better than that cuz i'm not gonna judge them just cuz ur a pathetic creature

  • @pqstr So am i tough or a sissy? make your mind up, in english they are opposites, i do have a sense of humour, humour makes you laugh in english, your comment was just words jumbled toghether, how ignorant are you to pick on asian people, that's just racist, who said i'm asain? that's so ignorant. Here is an english word for you to look up, contradiction. It is what your doing to yourself with every bullshit Salsa comment you make, My Salsa Salsa Salsa Salsa, My Salsa makes all the pretty girls

  • @IAMFILKRIS u moron this is not contradiction it's called sarcasm look it up in the dictionary u stupid fairy. u don't have a sense of anything human, i'm not pickin on asian people i actually just did the exact opposite but ur to dumb to understand that,read it again in case u get it now.i said asian cuz that word u said sounds kinda asian but even if i was wrong i was not wrong enough to be considered ignorant at all.ur not even makin any sense.ur just a small quantity of salsa urself actually

  • @pqstr Salsa Dominicano

  • @IAMFILKRIS Salsa Dominicano? that doesn't even make any sense. put it in a proper sentence and then we can talk. cuz that doesn't mean anything either good or bad. btw Salsa is not even the primary music we listen too at all, not even close, so please stop being even more ignorant cuh!

  • @pqstr My salsa salsa salsa salsa, My salsa make tha dominicano salsa dance. hahahahahahaha salsa! my salsa salsa salsa salsa, get the mariachi band out and let's salsa! lets salsa salsa salsa salsa, lets salsa all ya pretty girls want to dance and take off my underpants lets salsa! uuuuuummmmm have a little borrito my salsa.

  • @IAMFILKRIS is that the proper sentence that i asked u for?well u obviously can't even speak proper english and u blame others of that.no grammar no nothing.pathetic.some of the words u said don't even exist and no girl would wanna take off no underpants of no racist idiot with a little penis like u.Mexico is far from the DR and totally different.Salsa is not our thing really and ur nothing but a typical ignorant chickenshit racist that wouldn't dare say that to a Dominican's face n if he did...

  • @pqstr Ohhhhhhhhhh. I apologize for my typing errors my fine salsa friend. Little penis? Have you been looking in the mirror and thinking it's the computer again? I'm not racist..... How dare you call me racist? Your racist! Oh and i won't call you DR Mexico you salsa freak, I also think you are mistaken, The chickenshit you were speaking to didn't respond because shit can't talk, Not through ignorance, I think you are ignorant for shamelessly pointing out the disability of the poo, My Salsa sal

  • @IAMFILKRIS You're only confirmin what i already said about what u are still ignorant racist and again ridiculously ignorant repeatin things i already explained to you. ur not even makin any sense with most of the things u say and the rest make sense in an idiotic pathetic miserable again ignorant way. the shit is disabled however wat ur not gettin is that ur the shit and ur mentally disabled. u know what? that's all u'll be hearin from cuz i ain't gonna be part of this stupid conversation. bye

  • @pqstr Stop repeating yourself..... Now your saying the chickens shit was not only ignorant and racist, it's now also disabled?? Stop bullying it, You disgust me, Imagine what your shit looks like after a spicy burito, is your name cuz? Oh and you think i'm the shit, Thanks mate, i'm a fan of hip hop though so i think 50's the shit but if you want to be my fan that's fine with me, We need more mexicans like you. How did you get on in the salsa competition? My Salsa SAlsa Salsa, My salsa makes al

  • @IAMFILKRIS repetition and variation

  • @pqstr Are 2 opposite words My Salsa.

  • @IAMFILKRIS big mistake faggot. try again

  • @pqstr Big mistake hahahaha, you going to spit in my hot sauce? hahahaha My Salsa. Repetition- The act or process or an instance of repeating or being repeated. Variation- the act of changing or altering something slightly but noticeably from the norm or standard. Goodnight My Salsa Mariachi.

  • @IAMFILKRIS that means that in part u know how to look words up in a dictionary. but i guess noone even told u not to use the same word or a word of the same root when ur explainin something. no surprise to me. second fail. give up girl

  • @pqstr i will repeat My Salsa and use variation by saying hot sauce. My Salsa salsa salsa salsa salsa salsa, Hahaha are you some sort of homo "give up girl" hahaha "make sure he treats you right girl" hahahahahaha "you go girl" hahahaha. I must admit for a mexican't you do have good english. My Salsa.

  • @19cjw88 i never been in Mexico even though i love it and would like to go one day but what i meant was a girl whose ethnicity ur discriminating against wouldn't wanna be with a racist. now shut ur face and get lost

  • @pqstr no. ya fuckin little greasy burrito. hahahhaa look at u denying ur from mexico

  • @19cjw88 c'mon even u know i'm not. stop contradicting urself with ur previous comment. n ur english ain't bad for an asian
