Jay Z - You Don't Know

[IronReef77]

Did he mean he came into the rap game $100,000 strong or $900,000 to be exact? And was that when reasonable doubt came out or Blueprint?

[techno2039]

@IronReef77 I do believe he meant from the sale of illegal substances

[IronReef77]

@techno2039 lls,I figured. Nigga must have been moving big weight.

[westforte]

favorite jay z song

[wheela25]

he lied when he said he'd triple his worth, cuz he increased his worth by about a zillion

[KAWKOfficial]

Now you try to sell ice in the winter !

[ethrez]

la coka nostra - thats coke really similar to this

[SaintSuggs]

24 ppl really don't know what they do

[JERZEYFRESH973]

I think his verse on the remix is better... js...but, this is good too tho

[BasicallyBiz]

This is the song Jay gets smart. He basically laid out his game plan for riches. That was a decade ago. Look at him now.

[Mr19901611]

turn my music high high high higher

[MCmoha97]

yeeeehhhhaaaaa¡¡¡¡

[PacificMoceans]

I absolutely lose it when I hear this song. The productions yank the shit outta my neck back and forth like I'm giving head to it's rhythm. Goddamn this shit SLAP. Jay to the mothafuckin Z.

[Greeko96]

HHHHOOOVVVVAAAAAA

[manuel12345678901245]

[SaintSuggs]

one of Jay-Z's best song

[gvon1989]

24 people couldnt move on and switch states

[jdmiller1992]

u don't know ha sure I do

[jdmiller1992]

I am 4ever know as HOVA

[ZaharyD]

the beat goes HARD

[cookeofgg]

thamz way up you was juiced when you got your free ipad at bit.ly\vqAZbs

[theREALdrugfacts]

[neurotoksin]

Fucking hell, Jay-Z you will and have CONQUERED

[MarcoisX]

AAAHHHHH!! "Put me anywhere on gods green earth i trip on ma worth" JAY Z KILLED IT!!!!

[KennyBfromQueens]

@MarcoisX "I TRIPLE MY WORTH"

[HydroPonic42]

[swaggerLIKEice]

This is my hype song before my basketball game

[overbyjames]

I sold ice in the winter.

I sold fire in Hell.

I am a hustler baby, I sold water to a well.

OOOOOHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIT!!! NO THIS NIGGA JUST DIDN'T!!!

[PS3Wick]

@overbyjames yer mom probably did

[mantasstyle]

from what album is this ?i cant find it

[ManuelDr]

@mantasstyle The Blueprint...

[awarren236]

The remix is 10x better.

[finisher3x]

@awarren236 Wrong.

While the remix is hype as hell, the lyrical content of the remix can't even compare to this. This is Jay-Z showing his calm and cool swagger at his best, while ripping your heart out. This is damn near a flawless hip-hop track.

- a great sample

- great lyrics

- a song that is timeless

- a party anthem

It's all of that.

The remix almost never gets played in the clubs, it's always this version.

[HipHopIsDeadMohsin]

Everybody loves the hustler line, but the whole fucking song can be analyzed and traced back to things jay's seen in his life. The beginning creates a perfect imagery of the hood so detailed Shakespeare himself would have trouble matching it.

[uglyasgangsta]

All scars we earn em all cars we learn em like da back of r hand real hustler shit I was 12 when dis came out n luved dis it had me beatin niggas up eryday good ol days

[ruffryder135]

biggie killed this shit. But jay got a mean flow

[uglyasgangsta]

@ruffryder135 how he rapped 2 dis

[ruffryder135]

@uglyasgangsta cuz biggie was around when this came out

[uglyasgangsta]

@ruffryder135 in 01 where let me hear dis shit

[boyswag24]

rocafella love bitch

[victor3381]

ROCAFELLA

[SogLifeProduction]

@goodwinwgbiy that shit foreal ?

[kisstaye1]

every hustler's anthem...

[RashidTAhmed]

i don't get how anyone can dislike this.

[MrAbcdeyt]

21 brains blown

[xtensive09]

That last gospel-scream at the end tho....sheesh, Just Blaze wasn't fair for that one

[hot1fromnc]

Every time i listen to the Blueprint i gotta go listen to Stillmatic afterwards, Jay and Nas were talking to each other on these albums lol

[greenmatrix151023387]

i will not lose ever

fucka

lol gotta love it

[theosirispapers]

u are  now looking at one smart black boy! Who the fuck said hov aint real?

[kilerman316]

Jay wont EVER lose!

[bjones19941]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Big Blue Madness brought me here..haha

[Fredrikhammerstom]

This album is one of the greatest <3

[jdmiller1992]

jay z at his best

[PLayAshEFF72]

OMG these lyrics and the wordplay are amongst the finest hip hop as ever produced

[BA101EXAMPLE]

1:42

[hotoodef747]

what happened to this jay?

[789films]

“I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in hell, I am a hustler baby, I’ll sell water to a well”

[OneYoungHitch]

@789films Or "Whale".. Double meaning

[789films]

@OneYoungHitch true lol

[TheSmokendank]

jay kills it on the beat love the flow of his lyrics sell water to a well lil wanye cant do that

[Sp33dyMik3]

Sorry to say this but Jay z doesnt do this beat justice, its too hype for him and his flow is boring, listen to U Dont Know Remix with MOP they get so HYPE on it, listen to Lets Get It On Remix, its biggie on this same beat, check how much better dudes sound on it, jays flow is not hype enough for this beat

[thamidwestmob]

@Sp33dyMik3 I disagree...I feel like rappers with "hype" flow are just screaming at me. His flow perfectly compliments the beat and the lyrics. The song is about hustling and jay's business/street acumen. As such, his cool, calculated, and levelheaded flow is the only one that deserves to be riding this gem from Justin Blazini.

[djCurie]

@Sp33dyMik3 its not about hype its about putting some mofo's in their place and let the beat ring in their ears

[FoamsSincePenny]

hardest most simple song jayz ever made. a song that can still be played for years to come so crazy how this man do this

[efonius]

Did Just Blaze produce this?

[Hempmilk1]

@efonius

He sure did.

[MrJarrettJohnson]

@efonius yea

[andyct5]

WILL. NOT. LOSE. EVER.

[superpizzaguy123]

[Mickla]

@gvon1989 hahahahahaha love it

[Harryhoodz]

@gvon1989 Which brings up the one question the world will forever ask, is it water to a well or water to a whale? I vote well, as well.

[Hdosso49]

@gvon1989 You mean whale ?

[gvon1989]

@Hdosso49 no, its WELL.

[TommyFSwagg]

@gvon1989 i caould never tell if he's saying "well" or "whale"

[BadMeetsEvil19]

@TommyFSwagg he's saying both, it's called double entendre

[TommyFSwagg]

@BadMeetsEvil19 thats not what a double entendre is but i guess ill let it slide to spare the grammatical debate

[axesknife]

evan if its whale or well it still fire listen to this shit to the day i die if jay z stook to this flow he still be fire

[feero10]

[fiddlesticks766]

all cars we learn like the back of my hand

[HardTimesHardBodies]

SICK.

[coolnesss16]

Back when jay was at his best. Only one who was fuckin with him in those days was em.

[wheela25]

@coolnesss16 forreal...i would say that this album and the mmlp were the best rap ablums of the 2000's forreal, they killed it in the early 2000's...now, they don't have that hunger, but they are still sick to this day...i would say em is lyrically nicer and his wordplay is crazy, but u can't deny hov's flow, its maybe even better than biggies was (go ahead bash me if u like), but jayz, he's just a straight beat rider!

[coolnesss16]

@wheela25 I won't bash you lol Jay-Z to me is the only one that could toe to toe with B.I.G when it comes to flow and riding the beat I'd still say big > jay z but I can definitely see where your coming from if you feel jay is better. I feel Pac is better then Em, Jay and Big and his flow wasn't better then any of them to me anyway.

[wheela25]

@coolnesss16 yeah, i prefer eminem i think he was better with like punchlines and stuff than pac but can't deny pac's content and subject matter, he was a one of a kind...i mean i think ive always liked em because he was unique, he will never get the credit he deserves, but im not gonna fight about it, i like the other greats as well not like i hate them...personally, i think Nas is the GOAT, but that's just me!

[TRYFLYN1]

you know the beat was gonna get murdered when Jay said at the beginning.."turn my music HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH YER YER"....

[fiddlesticks766]

cop the coupe with the roof gone haters its hova

[jhood7891]

[lucakris7]

@spideymayne blueprint was released the same day the twin towers where attacked? that is crazy, I never knew that. bet that hurt jigga's sales lol

[theoldskoolkidd]

@lucakris7 there's a whole article over on Vibe.com on why it didn't, actually

[Macknull]

@lucakris7 quoting wikipedia "The Blueprint sold over 426,000 copies in its opening week, becoming Jay-Z's fourth consecutive album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. It was certified double platinum as sales stand at over two million units in the U.S."

[thesweetheartofevery]

[96and4eva]

@365spook thats highly debateable but reasonable doubt had dead presidents can i live politics as usual brooklyns finest and cant knock the huste so i say reasonalbe doubt is better but blueprint is rite next to it as far as album wise

[365spook]

@96and4eva true but just the whole sound of the blueprint that album really changed the game it kind of brought samples and soul back into hiphop on that album you had the classic diss record emotional records like never change or song cry and lyricall tracks like hola hovito or you dont know that intro was classic and momma loves me is the shit
