Jay-Z - Meet the Parents. (prod. by Just Blaze)

[abcxyz2440]

@ahmed1717 the acclaimed "American Gangster" ???

[koshabeast3424]

This beat is just sick..

[jpeschiiNY]

This song was a message to all the dead beat dads, step up and be a father cowards!!!

Great song!!!!

Jay-z is genius....

[ahmed1717]

Back when Jay-z was worth listening to. Man, this track is so dope!

[abcxyz2440]

@ahmed1717 Jay is still worth listening to. He was hated on back when this song came out too. All people do is say "Jay-Z sucks now" then 4 years pass and then they'll go back to the same song like "back when jay was good"

[ahmed1717]

@abcxyz2440 sorry dude, I disagree. The Black Album was good, anything afterwards... NO THANKS!

[Misterphooey]

all Jay haters need to hear this song before they talk smack. Nas dickriders, I'm talking to you folks especially, no disrespect to Esco whatsoever.

[sean78745]

much props to just blaze for the LITERALLY AMAZING DROPS especially at 3:04 and 3:28...

think that upped jays lyrics

[Deblaccboii]

The double meaning in this song is crazy..GOAT

[tobin834]

Who cares who is the best, this is an amazing story..

[ADdadirector]

@HIghed_Up_Jet

[TheCaptainChronic420]

where can i get thsi instrumental

[DDJ301]

CLASSIC!



[TheOrange697]

dont even try

[Tbig21]

to me the best song on the album

[23royalace]

holy shit a song where jay isn't talking about himself and his money the whole time!

[robbiemo10]

The story telling in this song and in Jay's discography in general is impeccable! GOAT! 

[wontwoonetoo]

... be a father, you killin yo son

[DaChallenger202]

this story telling ability self explains why Jay is the best alive...

[meshamonay88]

love this song



[gebsus]

guitars and rap complient each other so well

[flyersfan223]

@gebsus you gotta mix em up right tho. like on D.O.A. the guitar is OK at best, in this its amazing

[jzrit580]

Goosebumps

[Jah193]

Used to hold on tight when he wheelied on the bike, he was a willy all her life he wasnt really the 1 to like, it was a dude named Sha who would really treat her right he wanted to run to the country n escape the city life WHAAAT!

[EdwinElChulo]

absolutely hands down best rapper ever. no autotune here. Take notes, Wayne, Drake, T Pain, CB, etc

[marvincena54]

jayz = GReatness

[slapahoe993]

HELL YEAH JAY Z MY FUCKING NIGGGA! ALL DAY

[Gemmo1]

He says "niggas be a father you killin your sons" song is deep because this is happening in hoods nationwide! Being a absent father is the same as putting a gun to a childs head and jigga captures that!

[swood248]

THATS WHY HE IS WHERE HE IS TODAY..JAY-Z IS A BEAST.....

[JenniroKing]

I pee on the side of the toilet to reduce the noise....

[F1NN3S3DAD0N]

One Of My favorite songs.

[tommywayneful]

3 people couldn't keep up

[jose4891]

I'll tell you... if you take the best of both discs on the Blueprint 2 and combine them, you have an album that competes with the first installment. I'm talkin Hovi Baby, Poppin Tags, U Don't Kno remix, Meet the Parents, Some How Some Way, etc.

[devario3901]

@jose4891 blueprint 2 was RAW as hell though its jut people who HATE they think its more pop but this album was RAW as heck HOVA.......................

[jose4891]

@devario3901 I agree very much. There are more than a handful of skips, though.

[rckflare]

@devario3901 Come on man, even thoug there were killer songs on itlike this, what about stupid songs like the one with ean paul and poppin tags?

[SuperChicago31]

real shit he talkin wayne aint talking about shit with his gremlin looking ass

[JoseOle9Juan1]

@SuperChicago31

[ghettostreetwizard]

talks about real shyt..



[kproytube]

wow where did music like this run off to the kinda music that told stories and had meaning

[TULOABE05]

fuck wayne, jay the sickest

[AraBlak]

@ke445 @youngj11229

99% of hip-hop posts have Wayne's name mentioned somewhere in the comments. That's a statement in itself.

[3PoetryInMotion3]

@AraBlak 99% of hip-hop posts are industrial corporations that sign people like nicki minaj and drake, whacka, whiz, ect. that's a statement in itself, wake up to the underground superior MCs

[AraBlak]

@3PoetryInMotion3 You're preaching to the choir homie. Google my resume.

My only point is that Waynes name stays in all the so-called "real hip-hip" head's mouths. If he's so wack, stop talking about him. If you really wanna "forget Wayne" like @ke445 said, then do just that...... FORGET him.

[3PoetryInMotion3]

@AraBlak lol i've forgotten lil wayne since the Carter 3

[KushLesko]

All of jay Z's songs tell a story that is only a piece of a whole... You can read his albums like a novel... Straight masterpiece.. The man is a genius... Not dickeating just giving props...

[youngj11229]

3 people are lil wayne fans

[MeninoGangster]

dope

[ke445]

jay-z is the best rapper alive forget wayne im sorry

[elmundo88]

@ke445 canibus is better than ho so is nas

[kevpown123]

@ke445 no need to apologize for that! jay blow wayne outta the water

[Iroxit]

@ke445 don't be sorry for telling the truth!

[brandonvass1002]

@ke445 by far .. hands fucking down

[isalauantdi]

@ke445 Jay's body of work speaks for it self. On top of his game, by far the best in hip hop

[ChristopherHerrera35]

this was one of Jay-z's best songs all time classic!!!!!! Jay never got the real recognition he deserved back in the day!!!!

[Empha84]

@ChristopherHerrera35 trust me he got enough. He is a billionare. Jay Z is fine.

[RealJetPlanesTV]

@ChristopherHerrera35 Now I was only 8 when the roc was really buzzin, but im pretty sure the nigga was one of the biggest in the game at the time..but I was only 8 so I could be wrong. I loved his music tho

[ChristopherHerrera35]

@RealJetPlanesTV Oh YEah, He was def one of the biggest, my point was just that alot people didnt really give him the props or recognition that he deserved.. It took people a while to get it I guess.. LoL

[PaweLBeatz]

@ChristopherHerrera35 No but they weren't though! Jay-Z was going platinum on every record, he's always been ahead of the game. He's always had that recognition.

[PaweLBeatz]

@ChristopherHerrera35 Hahahah what? How's this a top comment? Jay-Z was one of the top rappers since his first album and moved up ever since. Always been a GOAT contender and has been going platinum since the beginning.

[ChristopherHerrera35]

@PaweLBeatz I never said he wasn't a top rapper! I said he never got the recognition he deserved.. Pay attention dog! Errbody was sleepin' on jigga. seems like now these slow ass peeps r barely starting to understand his shit. HA

[Neeka693]

‎"It was a dude named sha who would really treat her right, he wanted to run to the country to escape the city life. But, Isis like this, Broadway life, she loved the Gucci sneakers the red green and white. Hanging out the window when she first seen him fight, so turned on now she had to shower twice"

[omgfmlwtfsmb]

why was this never a hit?

[KingGoose24]

@omgfmlwtfsmb cause he hit your mama with some crack rocks - sucka bitch

[coronado718]

3 people have mental disabilities

[lianyuyang]

three motherfukkers aint got no parents

[TheseNiggasTrippin]

@Hurri90 are you fucking retarded D:<

[hurri90]

This is the only story telling track iv heard from jay z..

P.S reading DECODED, right now!

[prettybashful773]

@hurri90 listen to jay's song, soon you'll understand -- tht tells a story too

[Zygosity1]

i dont like his flow ay, good lyrics but its like ...... word word word pause word word word pause, one silable rhyming

[DEXTERURMANREPPINVOC]

Dis is why i love jay-z a true storyteller he really did step in 2 biggies shoes with songs like this

[ak632621]

@DEXTERURMANREPPINVOC I totally agree. Jay-Z will never get the respect that Rakim gets from the hardcore hip hop heads cause he's commercially successful...but in reality there's not really many people who have ever been better than him.



[Patcheo]

@ak632621 Completely agree!

[froxl20]

classic



[ssw89]

fuckn classic!

[michal13963]

the best song EVER !!!!!!!

[TheDRAMATICMAIYA]

LOVE THIS SONG ;]

[TommyTonic10]

@Hardcorehiphop95 Yeah but Jay isn't really hardcore hip hop he's like maffioso.

[TommyTonic10]

"Seems at the end of every young black life is this line "damn, him already?"

[Tyr3ll93]

jay is a genis

[gta4ratman]

@Tyr3ll93

Sorry to be a douche bag grammar Nazi but its spelled "genius". Im sorry i just hate when people misspell that word. xD

[tommywayneful]

"how ironic that it would be some fight that would turn into a homocide that'll alter their life"... is it me? or is this song just too deep for words?

[axjtjf]

they sound like a lovely group of people

[passdayak]

father's are defiantly wrong for not taking care of their kids, but women have to be smarter who they get pregnant by. "SHY WANTED TO RUN TO THE COUNTRY TO ESCAPE THE CITY LIFE".

[soSpecialkay]

this was my fav on bp2 without a doubt!

[StonerMusikONLY]

@Hardcorehiphop95 I GOT YOUR BACK ON THAT FAM,...

[rosiej1998]

This is one of his most poignant songs. Period.

[TheBlessedlyfe]

One of my favorite J tracks! "mamas baby papas maybe.."

[rruffin5]

Hey real talk, this was one of the coldest stories Jay ever told through a song. Flat out point blank period.

[hulkwonder23]

this is why jay is one of the best ever

[hulkwonder23]

[NYRyder1983]

The best Jay-Z song ever made!

[ThePearl1116]

[xldjvista]

They don't want 'Shy', they want the hype. True indeed.

[eyeclite]

[HotCopperPC]

[DrizzyDrakeIsGod]

@HotCopperPC

Too bad I just gave this song a dislike. Gay-Z is garbage. Drake is way better than that fag

[Shady899]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod your such a faggot.

[2hoesat1ce]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod fuck your trolling ass. OJ da Juiceman shits on both of them

[12tierre]

@2hoesat1ce ok you really need yo ass whooped sayin some dumb shit like that oj the juice man. get the fuck out of here saying that stupid shit

[2hoesat1ce]

@12tierre chill bro i was being sarcastic cuz the guy before me said drake was better than jay-z

[Latief1991]

@DrizzyDrakeIsGod comeing from a dick sucker that just called drake god. who gives a fuck. lil wayne smaked drake and he just sat there with tears comeing out his eyes.

[socalrep091]

realest shit he ever wrote

[jayboneburnsitdown]

@socalrep091 he dont write his lyrics

[tecmo1]

no more of THIS jay z i see. :(

[xldjvista]

@tecmo1 Remember this album was a disappointment, Reasonable Doubt didn't sell like it should have either, so who's to blame? Him for doing what he needs to do to maintain a career or us for only buying popcorn music?

[j04370859]

@xldjvista This abum sold well so what are you talking about?

[kensohan]

nigga's be a father, you're killing your son. :(

[names667]

[trimane24]
