@killarmy75 Man yall dont know hip hop at all,,,Jay a beast em never ruined Jay,,,Jayz verse was good em was better,,,But jayz is still better than em period,,,jayz has more 2 talk about than em and has way better vocab and metaphors em just has his word play and him being white...
Lmao fuck outta. Em aint got shit in Jay, and his verse was ill on renegade but he ain't kill jay. 'see im influenced by the ghetto u ruined, the same dude you gave nothing, i made something doing, what i do through and through and, i give you the news without his ghetto point of view'
people just say em killed jay on it because nas mentioned it, when in reality his verse is ill as fuck but ppl don't even try to take it in

the next person that says hiphop is dead is gonna catch a bitch slap, MAINSTREAM hiphop is dead, idk why u mofos even listen to that bullshit its all about underground & shit from the golden age. smh
used to have a firm grip, now you droppin names... this song is what rappin is all about... story tellin, metaphors, callin you out for fuckin up.. beat is all there... perfect classic!!
This shit is so fuckin cold sept 98' what a cold nigga. Now shit...fuck it Jay Z vol 2. was the peak in my mind. After big pimpin, he made ugk, after that, SELL OUT. lame bitch
Watz Really Doe, No one is probably gonna read this, I'm just gonna say it any way because i feel at least one person will, Im One Of The Hottest Upcoming Rappers From New Jersey... i know there's like 100,000 of those in this world haha But I'm different I PROMISE that...if u give me a chance ill show U! FOLLOW ME @TheRealStretchB on Twitter &nd Here On YouTube People.if anyone who reads this press the THUMBS UP ! ToppShelf/Millietant Merchants (Double M's) Is The MoveMent ! #GreatMusic#
Seen this shit happen first hand, Niggas get disowned by they family, hood, friends for snitching. "You'll always be in jail, just minus the bars" Some of the realist shit ever. Stop SNITCHIN
Jay was very consistent through out his career and always will be. This though...this was almost like MJ's Off The Wall ! He was oh so hunrgy but had not gone world wide yet ! Masterful !!
I cant believe i never really listened to what Jayz what was saying in dis song and it's so old.He talkin dat real shit , be a real nigga or die a fake nigga!
@infearandfaiith I agree Volume 2 doesn't compare to reasonable doubt but this SONG holds its own w any track off Jigga's first album. The story, rhyme pattern and bad azz guitar riff guarantees 5:01 of head nodding.
@utubemyspaceaim There is no positive message, it's a very simple narrative of money and jealousy breaking up a friendship. The moral is that money corrupts.
other rappers people call "great: are really only good at punch lines metaphors and wordplay. which is most about drugs and violence. people look at those as a grading bar on whether a rapper is good or not but forget the rest of the elements of what makes a good rapper. just look at battle rappers, they never make a good cd because they are so limited. so hey thats my opinion. and please stop with"pac is only big cause he died" learn your history muthafuckas. PEACE!!
actually tupac is the best. OVERALL BEST rapper and mc. im not a crazy pac fan. i know hes not the best lyrics such as word play, punchlines and metaphors. hes just average to poor in those categorie. but theirs bout 20 other categories that take into account on how good of a rapper you are, such as flow, story telling, meaning, emotion,influence,poetry,originality, versitality etc.......... pac scores above average to perfect in the rest of categories.
jayz is as real as it comes... if these other fake rappers had one flow that was as nice as this then we could consider them on the same level as jay but they arent... lil wayne, drake and such all needa take lessons from jigga man.
@ThaATrain10 nothing will beat Reasonable Doubt. Black Album and Kingdom Come were also fine as hell. Jay-Z himself has said the Life and Times albums are his worst, he said he wasnt in the 'right state of mind' when he made them.
@giants2128 haha what are you talkin about jay z has said he thinks hard knock life is a classic, he said the first in my life time album was messed up by too much commercial and he admitted kingdom come was one of his worst. you dont know shit
@AlizeCiz alright before you say 'i dont know shit' calm the fuck down. Your right about Hard Knock Life. He hated Life and Time of Shaun Carter Vol 1. Your right. Chill out dude.
THIS SONG IS DIRECTED AT T.I HE SITS DOWN TO AIM. ITS SAD HOW PEOPLE EVEN LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC. EVEN THOUGH HE'S A ENTERTAINER PRETENDING TO BE A GANGSTER U DONT SNITCH
@stabile1018 T.i did not snitch his body guards snitched on him, they bought the guns they broke the law , they got no time . He had to almost sell his soul to get away from that( ie crime stopper commercials ) .He may have lived the life , but no one wants to do the time again. And anther thing T.I. is backed by B.I.G. money.
@stabile1018 Real Gangsters should always be prepared to be snitched on it's a part of the game homes, You would be frightened to know how so called gangsters snitch! you think sitting in a box with bars is a cool look? lolol wake up homes snitching was and will always be a necessity
@559SAMEE624 Obviously you live in a different world! I know to a great extent what I speak of!! WITH THE STREET LIFE ONE OF TWO THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN: EITHER YOU SNITCH OR GET SNITCHED ON!! one of the two!! You ask anybody who has been in the streets and see if what I'm saying is garbage! Weak Niggz are everywhere son! Wake the hell up n cut ur cyber bitching!
@stabile1018 wtf? T.I. is really defined as a snitch for his situation...obviously... he wasnt snitching on a someone who was a drug partner of his who happened to get away when he didnt....he testified in a murder trial against his best friend... that doesnt really fit the terminology of snitching... T.I. Is gangster and Jay-Z and T.I. had songs since this...
whole lotta people doing jail for nothing. and a whole lotta civilians putting OTHERS in jail for nothing.

@stabile1018 T.i did not snitch his body guards snitched on him, they bought the guns they broke the law , they got no time . He had to almost sell his soul to get away from that( ie crime stopper commercials ) .He may have lived the life , but no one wants to do the time again. And anther thing T.I. is backed by B.I.G. money.

@559SAMEE624 Obviously you live in a different world! I know to a great extent what I speak of!! WITH THE STREET LIFE ONE OF TWO THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN: EITHER YOU SNITCH OR GET SNITCHED ON!! one of the two!! You ask anybody who has been in the streets and see if what I'm saying is garbage! Weak Niggz are everywhere son! Wake the hell up n cut ur cyber bitching!

@stabile1018 wtf? T.I. is really defined as a snitch for his situation...obviously... he wasnt snitching on a someone who was a drug partner of his who happened to get away when he didnt....he testified in a murder trial against his best friend... that doesnt really fit the terminology of snitching... T.I. Is gangster and Jay-Z and T.I. had songs since this...
