no one ever hears you, and its hard to get people to hear you when you have no exposure. I dont have the money for amazing music videos or big youtube advertisements..so all im left with is spam.

He said, "Forget that weed it keeps you broke, invest in pounds and profit", i mean he is still on that spitten knowledge. Its so much advanced and he is too. He has come so far...
To me, rap music is best when the artist is in that struggling phase, when they have to rap and do whatever it takes to pay the bills. Because to me that’s when they’re totally original and don’t have record companies clouding their originality with shit that will reach the charts and get on the radio.
How epic is this video??? Like now i see why jay be talking about how he the king and the god mc, this guy was doing it big since the early 90's, before the whole Rocafella movement. His lyrics was ahead of his time and the videos paint the perfect picture for it as well. It's amazing cus Jay has grown so much, like how can i not 4get about this Jay-Z from the 90's when im probably bumping Blueprint 2 or Watch The Throne, and its like the feeling a parent gets when they see their child prosper.
i swear this song fuckin motivates me to go out an get money BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY..nah mean niggaz can say whatever they want bout jay z now but the nigga music was always on motivating niggaz to GET MONEY!
@Larh124...u are so true..i wish real hip hop would come back...some of these teeny boppers think lil twist is the goat these days...i wish these people would smarten up
@rickelonka No, unfortunately, it's not. Neither is I can't get wid dat, which showcases his old ass originator flow (Spit double and triple time on a beat). His first couple singles need to be released because they're really damn good
@PascalO3007 word i agree with you yo, i been showing all my homies all theearly 90s jayz tracks and how his flow changed, Nas' flow is just so natural and smooth, they're both legends though
4 those who disagree let me make my self more CLEAR, REAL Hip Hop use to be MAINSTREAM now it went underground! The real artist are not being seen at all on Main stream they NEED to be put back on main stream at this point cause artist are getting away with anything and making millions!
"While others worship guns, I worship tons of money/tons of fun/laughin' at things that ain't even funny/so I ain't pressed to make a CD/I took it slow/80 percent of these rappers wit deals can't see me wit the dough"
I hate the music industry now! I mean when this came out I was 4 years old!. But my older sister and brother used to listen to this. But you know what still to this day I listen to this, because it is good music!. I mean I can't even remember Souja boy's first song anymore.
If you think Hip Hop is dead either go underground or wait for 2011. Three Wu solo albums are dropping. Smif n Wessun are teaming up with Pete Rock. 2011 will be a great year.
Eh, there are some decent songs on tha carteriii (Dr Carter, Tie my Hands, Shoot me down), but i would agree that there are dozens of classic albums to listen to before you bother with wayne.
Too bad this video has such bad audio quality, I cant hear what he's saying. Nowadays the CD single costs like $10, so it seems this song may be lost.
Eh, there are some decent songs on tha carteriii (Dr Carter, Tie my Hands, Shoot me down), but i would agree that there are dozens of classic albums to listen to before you bother with wayne.
I don't or never did sell drugs, but the hustle in this song is priceless. I mean this song and the time period was all about raising aspirations, getting away from the small time thinking that, we, the people in the hood where stuck in. Even though I never sold drugs, I can relate to the feeling of rising, succeeding. This is one of my all time favorite songs, I mean he dropped so many jewels, I don't think you can hate this, Just appreciate it, and accept it for what it is classic.
@stephane, if your not jay z you can't fully comprehend or grasp what jay is spitting. Good art is universal. you just insulted jay z. and I just insulted you, BITCH!
if u listin to friend or foe on reasonable doubt, damn dash was talkin at the beginning and he said something like "jay-z? the in my lifetime nigga? u talkin bout that skinny nigga on the boat?" this was the video he was talkin bout
its not on a cd. this and a few other tracks like "i can't get with that" were strictly singles. if you search online, there is a mixtape called "before the roc". it is a sick ass mixtape that consist of nothing but jay-z songs that came out before reasonable doubt. this song is on it but its the edited version. you should listen to it. its just as good if not better than reasonable doubt in my opinion
it might not be as hot as some other videos but jay-z & dame dash put this video together with their own money. i personally couldn't put a video like this together without the help of a major label or a loan from the bank.
I need a FUCKING TIME MACHINE I DON'T BELONG HERE ANYMORE! This is REAL SHIT, I HATE TODAY'S SHIT A LOT! I don't like Jay too much but his shit back then WOW what a difference, it's not all his fault shit ain't the same NO MORE! Music went Down Hill! Nas was right when he said hip hop is DEAD cause it's a fact!
@Larh124 i disagree with that statement. Listen to common market, macklemore, jusrassic 5, hilltop hoods, Brother Ali, grynch. hip hop maybe underground but its not dead.
i know hip hop sucks now !!We need that vibe back!thats it!damn im 26 and i did just start to hit the club that the hip hop start to sucks!There is realy no reason at all why the music is like that!!Brothers that can ryme need to put the shit nowwww!Life is beautiful..but whats life whitout a good soundtrack!i want to ear the boum bak,nothin wack or offtrack!!!And i miss that cool way to dress and shit!!!
MAn brothers need to put music down for real!all the fans are still here we aint dead!!
Ok...usmarineoneill...number 1...I'm not 40 I'm wayyy younger than that...number 2 I understand what u mean and remember I'm not dissin jay z you can evolve with the times granted but why do you have to dumb down lyrics for this generation but. Concerning red and meth listen to blackout 2. Not their best but still ok
He had to dumb down his music to appeal to a broader fanbase, i know hardcore hiphop fans who still don't even get alot of the entandres on Reasonable Doubt, so what makes you think the casual fan will even get his lyrics. For what Jay sacrificed in lyrics, he made up for in songwriting, flows, and becoming a more all aroung artist. I heard Red and Meth's Blackout 2, the problem is the rest of the world didn't and don't care about their shit, they r 40 rapping about blunts. smh
@usmarineoneil EXACTLY! THANK U! And the funny thing is, the dumbed down isht people STILL can't get! "I pack 'cause my dough's movin'." Sounds simple but naaah. And that's one of his simplest lines! lol. He's way too advanced. Every line has like 3,4 meanings. People are used to isht U don't hav2 think about like 50 or whoever. It's a sad state.
it sucks to say, but if jay-z never dumbed down his lyrics we might not know who he is. reasonable doubt only got 4/5 review and it didn't go platinum. most people went back and listened to reasonable doubt after they heard big pimpin or hard knock life.
where the hell is this jay z at/? Will the jay z of this era please stand up. True hip heads know what is blueprint 3 nah, kingdom come nah he needs to go back to the essence when he was battling DMX at the pool hall or even his albums before the fist blueprint classic shit. he has it with the american gagster album but come on seriously, i want the old jay z back. when you had to listen to the song numerous amout of times and say to yourself " yo this dude is insane".
Why do you think Jay has lasted this long dude, you have to adjust with the times and not box yourself in as a artist. Why do you think Redman,Method,The Wu,etc aren't relevant today, the never switched their music or content up. You can't be 40 tryna relive your youth or pretending to be something your aren't any more.
One of the best songs i have ever heard. I don't sell drugs. But if you listen to this song. I mean really listen. You can apply a lot of the hustle in this song to your life, This song is all about raised aspirations. "IN MY LIFETIME"
Its like no matter what you argue... his 90's stuff just doesnt stand on the same scale as his new stuff. Yeah the new stuffs good... but Jay Zs at his best right here.
Thumbs up if you listen this in 2012 :)

Jay z isn't even doing it 'his way' now, he's doing the commercial , corporation way.

@G2DaooZe If it is that way, he's an even shittier artist than I thought.

@Ostrasize Since he IS the corporation, I guess it's his way.

i see your point but if he kept doing it this way he wouldn't have lasted very long. sucks to say but that's the reality of it.

Its like no matter what you argue... his 90's stuff just doesnt stand on the same scale as his new stuff. Yeah the new stuffs good... but Jay Zs at his best right here.
