I like htis song from the first time I heard it. Jay Z is simply a well-talented lyricist and i wish he built his career with making songs like this...but then not many would of known about him so much, would they? This song is a mixture of hip hop, trip hop and big beat all blended into one, that is what makes it so damn good. He really came out of left field with this and at the right time! Nothing like a lyricist unafraid to broaden the spectrum and I think many would agree.
What tripped me out about this song and the Kingdom Come album is that alot of people and crictics alike said that this was his "weakest" studio album and some even called it garbage. Jay-Z has been on another level since he decided not to limit himself. Instead, he chose to expand himself not only in the rap game but also on the business aspect. Now, that a real dude. He actually lives was he talks about on the record. Here's living proof of a true hustler.
i sure wish jay z would make more music like this, especially now that he is quite wealthy and has no need to make that surface stuff that he's so well known for. this song really shows the kind of range that his talent has.
