this is quute possibly one of the best songs in hip hop as is tupacs i wonder if heavens got a ghetto or brendas got a baby or bonnie and clyde-me n my girlfriend, biggie's kick in the door, warning or pig puns beware etc... leave him alone he has given you something nowaday rappers just dont have, QUALITY
Jay's best songs 1) My First Song 2) Momma Loves Me 3) Can I Live 4) Heart of the City 5) No Hook 6) The Prelude 7) Can't Knock the Hustle 8) What More Can I Say 9) Meet the Parents 10) Lyrical Exercise that's my opinion so fall back with the hate... Fact is HOV is GOAT
I'm so sick nd tired of ppl sayin Pac is real nd Jigga is fake. Pac was never a gangsta- a gangsta isnt the one who gets shot- he's the one who does the shooting. Pac was robbed nd beaten in NY. Jay has never been robbed nd didnt go to a skool of public arts like Pac- he had a much poorer upbringin. He's way more real den Pac. Pac was dry snitchin on Big nd Puffy after he got shot- nd is so overrated lyrically. Jay Z is a real street cat.
@zsivaz I agree wit 95% of what u said, but they was both from the bottom Pac was the son of black panthers at the head the struggle u cant get no more hood then that. Cant be mad kuz his mama put em in a gd school. Pac, Big, and Jay top 3 no order. Just sayin!
@zsivaz Do you realize that when Pac's mom was pregnant with him she was in Jail? They grew up poor as did Jay. Pac overrated? You must be crazy. Pac was also brought up on charges for a gun battle that he was in. so what are you talking about "a gangsta isn't the one that gets shot but does the shooting"? check your facts before you write shit about the greatest rapper to ever live. SMH at your ignorant comment
@zsivaz what does it really matter my dude? they made some good music for us to get through our times. that im a thug shit is old and tired. which one of them took care of their families? which one was the best father to their children? nobody never talks about shit like that. its crazy a beat and some lyrics can turn someone into a thug. thats crazy
not a jay z fan but i love this song and this album. i actually bought it. since biggie is dead he is the king of new york. although i like dmx better than him
"kitchen table, that's where i home'd my skills, JAZ MADE ME BELIEVE THIS SHIT WAS REAL" ahhhhh, chills every time.
jay-z, best rapper alive, best rapper ever, period. for a long time, i've had biggie as my #1 but after listening to jay-z over and over, album after album, he's the best, and this is coming from a huge biggie addict (victory is still my #1 song).
Yes yes Pac's psychos. The truth is that Jay's technique is hundred times better than Pac. So keep hatin, keep loving Pac ignoring every other rapper, your choice. Great track, thanks Hova
please do not even mention lil wayne on this channel if people really listen to that nigga instead of just listenin to the beat you will realize that nigga is a lame rapper he dont spit the truth he sounds very ignorant when he raps. Jay, Biggie, Pac, Wu Tang, Naz, etc. Wayne only got album sales cause like Dave Chapelle said "Nigga's like Drums". you slap a beat on some bull these days and you got a hit!! Hip Hop now is so commercialized its pathetic you need a condom on just to listen to it!!!
Come on people, you may love jay z, which is cool, but he isn't the greatest - nowhere close. He's probably the greatest commercial success, and he's done very well, but real talent doesn't sell fantastically in the pop charts like jay does. By real talent I mean the very best talents, like guru, rakim, Wu tang, biggie (maybe an exception with sales) and albums like illmatic, doe or die, liquid swords, only built for cuban linx and so on. Jay did have reasonable doubt which is good, but not best
man this alumis jay's masterpeice very artist has that one album that just stands out michael jackson's thriller prince purple rain curtis mayfield super fly marvin gaye whats going on jay-z the blueprint
@FranciscoD0MING0 Fake? Did you listen to the song. This is as real as it gets. This basically the story of how he became a rapper. It's "the blueprint" of his life.
jay goes so deep on this on. he just talks real about his life. Family friends and rhymes. this is his best song hands down. No rapper will ever compare to him. he has done so much for the game.
You just showed how much of hip-hop you know... You don't compare super ugly to ether, compare the takeover to ether and you be 4real.. Nas loses all credibilty when he says Jay has dick sucking lips.. How can a man tell another man what kind of lips they have????
Nas' secondary post of Ether has more views than takeover. U may be too strung out on Jay to believe the truth though. & Jay fabricated way more than Nas did anyway
I think you're riding Nas too hard... Rap cats validated what Jay spit in the takeover, nobody validated what Nas spit, they just thought it was funny... Give me one line Jay lied about and you win this argument, until then you're wrong, just like people saying nas won. Nas was the underdog in this battle, people gravitate to the underdog..
jay z is the most successful rapper of all time.....most intellectual and inspirational rapper let alone lyrical....the mike jackson of hip hop king forever
People may argue that pac and big are better because they're songs have more heart but, jay's story telling, lyrics (he can say 10 things in 2 lines), flow, rhyme and word play are perfection. They can't be touched, also he has just as much if not more heart than every other rapper. He is the greatest rapper to ever walk the the earth, fact not opinion.
@HipHopIsDeadMohsin No, that is opinion. Jay is great, I love his music, but I wouldn't go as far as saying he is the best. To be honest, I can't give anyone the label as 'the best' because there are too many great artists out there, it would be a insult if I were to call them second best. B.I.G, Pac, Jay-Z etc etc are all greats of the game. Plus - a lot non-mainstream rappers get unnoticed, there are some amazing Underground rappers out there, Immortal Technique and Diabolic to name but a few.
@positiveblackman1 Nas is my second favorite. I don't think he better though. It's more preference their rap styles are completely different and to me Jay's lyrics are more appealing.
@HipHopIsDeadMohsin easy now. "he cant be touched" is a little strong. dont even think Jay himself would agree with that. and what criteria are you using to support "greatest rapper ever"? sales? he isnt the highest seller. money? he is probably the highest earner. but word play, flow, stories and everything else you mention are opinion based. not fact based. facts are records sold, money earned, etc. heart and rhymes cant be quantified.
@HipHopIsDeadMohsin What are you talking about... You say Jay-z is the best but we cant dislike or like?Good rappers dont have haters.. he obviously has... Retard
@HipHopIsDeadMohsin LOL?? FACT NOT OPINION YOU SIR ARE A RETARD PUSSY THAT THINKS HE IS A SMART GUY GTFO Wannabe smart ass. go listen some other music.. 2pac or biggie thats the real shit hes just money hungry...
I really hate Jay-Z and everything he stands for, but this song is amazing. I give him props. The lyrics are the realist I ever felt. only because he touches a soft spot in my life, I loved my mom, but she loves the needles more. I wish I knew my pops but he knew the barrel of shotgun better than he could ever know his own son. Bouncing around from home to home, all I knew was PAIN. Fuck im still going through it. 21 years and going, God I feel like giving up..
@cdothedamnthing didnt he stop on carter 1 or two i think he only non wrote two of his albums plus all the mixtapes dude dnt forget abou that and yup jigga and biggie only real non writers for reals people need to relize this
@cdothedamnthing jay is a swagger jacker...its easy to free style when you are spitting someone elses rhymes. he steals from big, kane, jaz o, nas etc...thats old news.
i can't believe people be hatin on jay like they do and try to say wayne is better than jay smh....this is a real man speaking real shit....one of the best songs on the best rap album ever!!!!!
yea jay has referenced & flipped other rapper's shit but what rapper hasn't??? all the rappers u just named have borrowed from other musicians many times. & on top of that just think about how many mc's have taken something from jay. damn near every rapper out has taken a flow, jacked one of his beats, borrowed one of his flows, flipped one of his rhymes, jacked his style....etc. it's ironic people call him a swagger jacker when he is arguably the most jacked rapper ever...
@Rudboi100 plenty rappers havent...its called BITING!!!!! in the true glory days of hip hop you are NOT SUPPOSED TO BITE!! thats blasphemy thats why mobb deep went in on him thats why Pac went in on him and thats why BDK dont fuck with him no more. emcees take from jay? who? maybe one of these new guys. when Pac said "takin off my coat, clearing my throat" we knew he was paying homage to rakim....jay doesnt do that...he steals a rhyme and tries to make it his own.
also, just compare the # of rhymes he "jacked" compared to the rhymes he made up. the rhymes that he took make up a tiny portion of his rhymes, probably less than 1%. for every jacked rhyme u mention i can mention 100 original ones. i think folks r jus nitpicking @ this point. theyre runnin out of shit to say. they cant say he doesnt have a dope flow and dope albums so they become desperate & start pointing out that a super duper small percentage of his rhymes are borrowed.
@Rudboi100 jay has a dope flow its just that its not his....i heard jaz before i ever heard of jay and the first time i ever heard jay i swear to god i thought it was jaz. i heard jay back in 93' i didnt know it wasnt jaz till i saw the video and saw who he was in real life. i think where people get it fucked up is they think selling records makes you the greatest......hip hop has never been about selling records.
Everybody always saying they not a Jay Z fan but every Video I see they on his shit!! Stop the pump faking and just Admit, Jay Z is the best Rapper Alive!
@Arcillica1 i luv jay z. one of fav rappers but hees bin on nas's dickk tho. all the way to empire state of mind- jay z's take on new york state of mind
They can't front on THIS one Hova.

yea jay has referenced & flipped other rapper's shit but what rapper hasn't??? all the rappers u just named have borrowed from other musicians many times. & on top of that just think about how many mc's have taken something from jay. damn near every rapper out has taken a flow, jacked one of his beats, borrowed one of his flows, flipped one of his rhymes, jacked his style....etc. it's ironic people call him a swagger jacker when he is arguably the most jacked rapper ever...

@Rudboi100 plenty rappers havent...its called BITING!!!!! in the true glory days of hip hop you are NOT SUPPOSED TO BITE!! thats blasphemy thats why mobb deep went in on him thats why Pac went in on him and thats why BDK dont fuck with him no more. emcees take from jay? who? maybe one of these new guys. when Pac said "takin off my coat, clearing my throat" we knew he was paying homage to rakim....jay doesnt do that...he steals a rhyme and tries to make it his own.

@getyoasshome
also, just compare the # of rhymes he "jacked" compared to the rhymes he made up. the rhymes that he took make up a tiny portion of his rhymes, probably less than 1%. for every jacked rhyme u mention i can mention 100 original ones. i think folks r jus nitpicking @ this point. theyre runnin out of shit to say. they cant say he doesnt have a dope flow and dope albums so they become desperate & start pointing out that a super duper small percentage of his rhymes are borrowed.

@Rudboi100 jay has a dope flow its just that its not his....i heard jaz before i ever heard of jay and the first time i ever heard jay i swear to god i thought it was jaz. i heard jay back in 93' i didnt know it wasnt jaz till i saw the video and saw who he was in real life. i think where people get it fucked up is they think selling records makes you the greatest......hip hop has never been about selling records.
