  • good shyt right here fam! classix.......

  • why are people saying Ashanti stole the beat from this song when the song people are talking about sounds more like G'z Up Hoes Down by Snoop Dogg?

  • 5 people couldn't live

  • issac hayes is the greatest composer jayz did good with this song

  • classic

  • Ashanti can choke a fat dick for fucking this song up.

  • @TheMrbignich128

    Irv produced both tracks.

  • Reasonable Doubt (1996)

    01. Can't Knock the Hustle (CLASSIC TUNE!)

    02. Politics As Usual (Vintage fine wine track)

    03. Brooklyns Finest (ft. Biggie) (One of the most greatest collaborations in hip-hop history)

    04. Dead Presidents II (1st BEAT SONG ON THE ALBUM)

    05. Feelin' It (ft. Mecca) (Another fine wine classic)

    06. D'evils (DJ PREMIER & JAY-Z is like red bull [PREMO] and vodka [JAY Z]/2nd best song on the album)

    07. 22 Two's (Wicked FREESTYLE! CAN I KICK IT! YES YOU CAN!)

  • best southern rappers out

  • the beat is sick

  • yo can youtube live? shit let the comments be about the song not a different topic having no relations

  • 2 people couldnt live -___-

  • @NigerianPrince732 hell ya bro its the same wit mee too

    like frkn AZ's verse on Lifes a Bitch.. when he raps about Five Percenters and schwepervesence.. i had no fukin clue what that was until i looked it up on the internet.. and its teh fact that we gotta do that (look it up etc.) is what makes these albums and artists legends and classics.. like a classic novel in english these artists rhymes are deeper than they seem and require time to absorb and interpret

    thats waht makes hip hop, hip hop

  • One person got sidetracked and clapped from close feet.

  • 1 person couldnt live.

  • @vcamman LMAO!

  • My Top 10

    1. Jay-Z(Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black Album, Vol.1,2 & 3, American Gangster, All of his album intros are great even on his not so great albums. The has taken the genre of Hip Hop to levels like none before him. Hip Hop artists are now known for being great business men. Hip Hop as a whole rakes in more money than it ever has before. First and only rapper to ever headline the Glastonbury Guitar Festival in England. He can command a crowd of different races like no other

  • im boppin the shit outaa my head to this like ddaaammmnnnn

  • Comment removed

  • whats da name of da sample plz...........just heard it on da movie dead president

  • I'd Rather Die Enormous Than Live Dormant..

  • I didn't realize that Ashanti - Rain on Me had the same beat, haha!

  • Nigerian prince ur not dum its that old rap they used to actually say puns that have meanings instead of the fuckin giberish they say today -_-

  • rap nigs use to be story tellers now-a-days nigs just be talkin bout bullshit

  • Is it me or is older hip-hop harder to listen to? Like I listen to rap and hip-hop daily, but i constantly gotta look up lyrics to fully grasp everything they say in older songs and albums (such as illmatic, reasonable doubt, etc.) cuz its hard to fully pick it up. Does anyone else have this problem or am I just retarted? lol

  • @NigerianPrince732 Man I gotta respect your honesty. Even listening to rap takes practice. It gets tedious, but I keep one eye open like CBS

  • @NigerianPrince732 whoever says they understand every word is a liar

  • @NigerianPrince732 you need to know the lyrics to fully grasp a song

  • watching every nigga wachin me closely, my shit is butter for the bread they wanna toast me

  • hip hop is all washed up money cars clothes hoes o yeah and boats now lol but it could easily be brought back it originated from blues and jazz for the most part but its about struggle and pain growing up doesnt matter about color or any dumb shit like that as long as your real and not fake which many rappers are fake now itl b brought back soon watch

  • the fake boys get big who buys it all a plan say i

  • @yaweedman it will never go back unfortunately, rap is 2 much of a BUSINESS now, the only thing i can say about 2day is that the beats are bangers. I dont wanna blame it on whites, but whites single handly corrupted rap, they didnt say "hey these youngsters are expressing theirself in a different art form, they said "damn we gotta make some money off these trendy niggers

  • @killuminatiplz

    way to be a racist. Jay z's blueprint 3 is a prime example of why ur comment makes no sense

  • @G2DaooZe b3 was commercial as fuck, makes my comment TRUE

  • @killuminatiplz

    Exactly but Jay Z has had creative control over his projects all the time so its obviously not JUST WHITE people.

  • rip real hip hop

  • shiett. the old jay z, is so much better than the new shit. so he was a king, certanly hope he can go back to what he was!

  • @SimenYO1 I mean he really can't cuz he has too much money nowadays. The hunger is gone, so obviously he's not gonna rap about the same shit on this album.

  • This is so true.

  • lol he cant, neither can snooop nor 50 nor hip hop

  • Comment removed

  • dood

  • "while im watchin every nigga watchin me closely my shit is butta for the bread they wanna toast me"

  • JA JA JEEYUHH!!

  • This shit iz Butta.....hahaha

  • chill fam just good music dont hate black music

  • Jay z

    T I

    Cassidy

    Eminum

  • maybe old eminem, cassidy can battle and freestyle, TI is in jail and went mainstream and makes pop garbage and jhay-z early stuff other than that he got desperate and took everyone elses ideas and lines.

  • "presidential suite's my residential for the weekend, confidentially speaking in code cause i sense you peeking the NSX rental, don't be fooled my game is mental"

  • "however brief i know this game got valleys and peaks, expectation for dips for precipitation we stack chips, hardly the youth i used to be soon to see a million, no more big willie my game is grown prefer you call me william" this song is ahead of its time.

  • MY list of the greatest

    1.JAY

    2.BIGGIE

    3.JEEZY..... SO THE FUC WAT HE TOOK OVA THE STREET

    4.B

  • jeezy

    wow

  • yesir he took over the streets he got his own movement

  • gotta admire me/ from four feens away

    one of the nicest lines of all time

  • my favorite period of rap

  • quite possibly my favorite hova song. the second verse is too much

  • jay-z not better than BIG L

  • jigga

  • God Damn we need a real MC in '09.

  • Not a bad list, but you got the order WAY wrong...

    1. Notorious

    2. Big L

    3. Jay-Z

    T-3. NaS

  • isaac hayes sample is crazy, and jay just puts the icing on the cake.

  • @northregent wats da names of da sample......

  • @SportsNation730 The sample is the Look Of Love - Isaac Hyes

  • man i dont really care bout who the best rappers are, but hip hop needs to come back the way it was on the late 90's, thats when hip hop was real, non of that wack ass clubbin snap yo fingers type of shit, now days mudafuckas make no sence wit their music...fuck all this new shit.

  • First off,

    Jay-Z is a MC legend!

    lil wayne has nothin' classic as reasonable doubt! plus last time I checked lil wayne ain't from NYC so why even compare a MC to a

    "entertainment rapper" yep we are da hip-hop foundation but I also have respect to tha west but da south is just full of b.s!

  • so Scarface and OutKast is B.S.?

    no way...there's wackness in all coast and there's raw shit in all coast

  • did u just say scarface n outkast is bs nigga kill yo self..........scarface you crazy as fuck scarface is the best rapper ever lived on earth he next to to jay z nas pac big the greats

  • no motha fucka da nigga midway said the south was full of b.s. so i asked if scarface and outkast was b.s. compared 2 him

    AND AFTA DAT BELOW I SAID NO WAY THERE'S WACKNESS IN ALL COAST NOT JUST DA SOUTH

    now u kill yoself 4 look n stupid

  • lol scarface joke

  • scarface the rapper is fucking nasty, you clown

  • word

    scarface and outkast = southern rap/ hip-hop they pioneered that shit down there

  • @pdm146 I'd say Outkast is the only Southern Rap group that ever had any talent.

  • @pdm146 don't just throw UGK under the bus homie, & im from tha south I-10 bound

  • lol not of all time of our time

  • Lupe is good, but you think he better than 3 Stacks my nigga?

  • KANYE AND WEEZY AND JEEZY? thats a garbage list?

  • i gree with you, but with kanye its not that he's garbage its just that he isnt taking rap seriously no more, he's all about this heart break bullshit and the fucked up voice effects

  • Your shit is whack. Don't ever put Weezy and Jeezy in the category of "greatest". There is nothing but money and bitches, very little creativity within the music. There hasn't been an MC to top Biggie or Jay yet...

  • 1. Jay-Z 2. Joe Budden 3. Biggie 4. Nas 5. Rakim 6. Big L 7. Big Pun 8. Tupac 9. Andre 3000 10. Styles P You can say what you want about Joe Budden but until you hear his Mood Muzik series don't even comment back.
  • mood muzik is good...but its not classic material like the rappers below him have (except Styles P)

  • I think Mood Muzik 2 is classic. MM3 is real close to classic. Other than Reasonable doubt and In My Lifetime, I relate to Joey shit more than any other artist's shit.

  • I think if he had more sampling than computerized beats than it'll be classic (In my opinion). u kno like a couple premo joinys, 9th wonder, etc.

  • with you on that joe budden comment...dude is nice.

  • 1. Big Pun 2. Big L 3. Notorious B.I.G. 4. 2pac 5. Jay-Z 6. Eminem 7. AZ 8. Kool G. Rap 9. D.O.C. 10. Rakim honorable mentions; Big Daddy Kane, Wu-Tang, ALL of D.I.T.C. , Gangstarr, DPG, MOP, lil wayne (he can come hard on tracks but hes too commercial and has too much bubble gum shit)
  • Wow you know nothin bout hip hop if u didnt even mention nas. This list isnt about whose had a better career and better albums its about rhyming skills and flow 1. Nas 2. 2Pac 3. Biggie 4. Jay-z 5. Rakim 6. Krs-One 7. Big L 8. Big Daddy Kane 9. Eminem 10. LL cool J

  • I haven't studied every MC but I think if your great people will know who you are regardless. I mean your name should last the test of time. I mean we all know of Beethoven and Picasso, and I doubt yall study them.

    1. Jay-Z

    2. Tupac

    3. Rakim

    4. Nas

    5. Eminem

    6. Biggie - because he only had 2 albums

  • U people really need to stop puttn Wayne & Kanye and Jeezy & the list goes on ith these dudes who do not have a single classic record let alone albums. Those dudes are fads...Jay, Big, Nas, these dudes have created scriptures, classics that we will raise our kids to like marvin gaye, al green etc...Wayne & Jay should never b mentioned n tha same sentence...please stop disrespecting tha game...yo hip hop is dead

  • em + d12 were personal favs awhile back, i kno their current stuff is a bit played out

  • yeah...back on songs like "shit on you" they were sick but i really cant listen to their new stuff...that devils night album was good though, by far my favorite by them...I never heard Mike Shinoda & Styles Of Beyond...can you recommend some tracks by them? Im asssuming they are underground!

  • i loved how d12 were gangsta but also rlly dark + funny with the imagery in their songs

    mike shinodas the hiphop vocalist from linkin park, heres some good songs to check out:

    S.O.B - Superstars, Playing With Fire, Tech Nine, Second To None, Be Your Dog, Atomic Zen, Mr Brown, Spies like us etc

    Fort Minor(Mike shinodas group which SOB in)- Petrified, Dolla, Bloc Party, Right Now, Remember The Name, Dedicated, Believe Me, Out The Back, Tools of the trade, Do What we did, Whered You Go etc

  • check those songs out and get back to me man

    Styles OF Beyond are underground.. They work with Mike Shinoda for his Fort Minor project, which isnt rlly commersh, but gets publicity thanks to his popularity from linkin park.. all real hiphop =D
