JayZ is da shit!!

He is one of the few rappers who have stage presense...and he doesn't need 15 dudes on stage repeating every other word he says.

[DontDisstheGuy]

Where can I find the Unplugged version of this song? It's a good one with MJB singing Family Affairs at the end.

[BGlamourQueen]

MARY KILLED IT!!!!! People are crazy to think Beyonce did better than Mary.... Mary put soul into her version and she helped Jay Z make it a hit ! This is one of Jay's best songs.... EVER.

[chamoven1811]

UN FLOW MUY BUENO TIENE EL JAY Z

[CrassieTrassieNZ]

i want his jacket!

[girlbay1232]

AWWW they got married that day!!! Thats how mary found out!!!

[eastlondz]

beyonce sounds better on this track.....her voice is hotta!

[wengzkrizzei]

@eastlondz I agREe! i agree!

[amoergosum3]

When David Letterman says 'how about that?' after a performance you know that he absolutely LOVED it.

[freesince1865]

she is gettin it!!!

[MrFuhrer2009]

You know what I really Jay should have wifed Mary instead of Beyonce, Mary is more of that sophisticated type, and a legend just like Jay

[eugenemusictv]

@MrFuhrer2009 LOL, I said this before I always thought they look better together but I think mary is too much woman for Jay Z

[utterbullspit]

Can't nobody do this song like Mary do this song!

[ThePurplediva25]

4 dislikes????? SMH

[jl2694]

Who do you think you are?? JAY Z BaabbYY!!!!!!  lmfao.....fav part

[selmabaysal]

Love this one very much indeed. Mary and Jay rock em. Love the jacket of the J.

[EastVanProductions]

You are now rockin' with the best..

[MrRobinsonTv]

@elcorto those four knocked the hustle.

[REALandRAWW]

Mary's range is so epic! Beyonce's version of this is embarrassing.

[jerzy862]

@REALandRAWW lol beyonce did a version of this?

[ukstevey]

@jerzy862 yeah just not the same though

[Xhaterlover]

@REALandRAWW um actually Mary has about a 3 octave range while beyonce has a 3.5-4 octave range...I'm not hating on Mary & obviously she's a legend, but beyonce does actually have more range...

[REALandRAWW]

@Xhaterlover Lmao @ BeYAWNce having a 3.54 octave range. A lie.

[jiggac4]

@Xhaterlover actualy i believe Mary has a 5 octave range...i like both of em..cant compare em..beyonce is pop and mary is soul...

[Xhaterlover]

@jiggac4 nope; I've checked several sources and they either say 3 (majority) or 4...definitely not 5...mariah had 5 cuz of her whistle register; Mary can't hold a whistle. I actually don't see their differences like that (pop vs soul) Mariah is purely a vocalist, Beyonce is a hybrid performer/vocalist. Both are incredible :)

[oldjaghead94]

@jiggac4 Yeah.. can't compare 'em.

[syntelmac]

MY FAV JAY Z SONG! but why did he perform this song on letterman in '08?

[elcorto]

how can 4 ppl dislike this shit?! outcasted faggots! I'M FEELIN THIS REAL HIP HOP!!

[CUF17]

Mary is JAMMIN!!! get it!

[silentthawk]

Performing like the song just came out...Jay and Mary always kill it!

[DavidEnvy]

hot



[selmabaysal]

I love the band! Mucho.

[Jahizm]

"mary take em to church"

[Twiggy184]

Mary doing her favourite dance, Classic shit..lol

[XsexychristinaX]

Great performance, Jay always slays it live.

[Ra1gar]

she seems retarded

[MRTHECOMEBACKKID]

This takes me BACK!!! I'm still still a kid at heart, Reasonable Doubt is all you need in America to be found>>>NOT GUILTY<<<

Knock MU Hustle!!!!!

[djtrack16]

@hoo8675 only because there is a live band. more rappers should record with live bands instead of programmed beats, imo.

[evans4you]

@djtrack16 Are you kidding me? Live band means giving up that deep rumbling subwoofer bass which is the main reason 90% of rap consumers buy rap albums. Not gonna happen but it is refreshing to listen live, it highlights the musical talent of the record producers especially to those who say rap is njot music, the instrumentals can be played by your very musical guitarist, pianist etc.

[ILLDEFF1]

JUST 1 BIEBER FAN THINK HE CAN KNOCK THE HUSTLE

[MultiiZAbC]

DAMN MARY! you on FIRE!

[Thebestreason]

that transition into the new groove in the 2nd verse is TOUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH wooooo *rick flair voice

[mshoneydewable]

I LOVE MARY J. BLIGE. THAT GURL IS SO HOOD. AND CAN'T NOBODY ROCK JUST ANY HAIRSTYLE OR HAIR COLOR THE WAY TH AT MARY CAN. MAN, CHECK OUT THAT GURL SWAGGER.

[fortismere1985]

[MakeSense10]

notice at 2:52 - 2:54.. the guy playing the guitar in the right hand corner makes a big smile n nods his head out of a amazement at the Queen's Vocal Ability..

[tfromd]

The band is HOT

[icecreamladydream]

Mary is that over talented woman. Love to see her dance. Ain't no swag like black woman's swag. We invented swag! One of the best songs ever!

[nemo1285]

@icecreamladydream - i completely agree

[supraman181]

[BlackParisHilton3]

[TakIzzzay]

YES MARY!!! work it out!! they say Didy got his own way of dancing, but M.J.B do it wicked.she almost goes into a trance when she on stage,, i love her ..

[0Funk4Ever0]

Mary's Hook is "Melisa morgan - Fools Paradise" ! SO Good, dope stuff!

PEACE

[lucasmcquin]

how bad of a dancer is Mary!!! ha!!

[4mAALIKcHIN4]

"my pops knew exactly wut he did wen he made me - tried to get a nut (ejaculate) & he got a nut (Jay-z) & what?" ---sick!!

"at my arraignment screaming/ all us blacks got is sports & entertainment until we even" ---damn

Jay-z is too nice from back then & still today

[MajesticBeatzz]

Does Anybody know the Brand of the Jacket Jigga wears?

[PRAMBO811]

I think it's rocawear....I've seen an identical rocawear jacket like that....but I think it's out of stock or sumthin

[MajesticBeatzz]
