All Christy in every city and Tiffany Lanes,we all hustlers in love with the same thing. Its just life. Christy? VHI Love and Hip-Hop? I guess it is true.
i swear you can listen to a jay song and when you hear the lyrics and how hes rhyming, it all is so amazing. but when you actually break it down verse by verse and line by line, it just gets even more amazing. especially his word play. then you think to yourself how someone can think of this off the top of their head. its genuis really. we love you hov!
dis shit was so real my theme song i was so addicted 2 doin wrong n riskin my freedom 2 b honest its fun n a fkin thrill when eva u get away wit it n dis song captures dat
to the kid "Nuk8" first off know that the hell your talking about before u let your hands get the typing..smh Jay was about that life and was getting it in. The reason why I know this because homie Im from kings county. I uses to see that GS ride up and down flushin. this was 95 before his LP came out. My step Pops is from Marcy building 354. He had Jay doing shows all in SC, VA and Maryland. Not riding dude "pause" but the big homie dont have to front....Food For Thought!!!
but the allure of the game, keeps calling your name To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain To all the Christies in every cities and Tiffany Lanes We all hustlers in love with the same thing It's just the life!!
"I put my feet in the footprints left for me, without saying a word, the ghetto's got a mental telepathy; My big brother hustle's so naturally up next is me; but, what perplexes me....." .........Ridiculous
Amazing song! Just got into remixing and had to go at this song ofcourse! Made like a remix/mashup type song with biggie and gang starr's Who got Gunz! Check it out if you like and give me some feedback! thanks! bong bong
the beat to this is so beautiful. yall gotta check out the michael jordan video on here to this song. the allure of basketball for mj. i love that vid.
I have no problem admitting to be a Jay-z fan. I dont know any other artist that woulda did this song any justice. Pharrell did the damn thing with this song. Noother rapper would have laid a rap down tight enuf to go with that beat. As a whole i dont know what i love about this song most, the lyrics or the beat. I do know it has been on repeat in my car for several days.
@RedBoiGoi Listen pall, since I am not from the ghetto, I asked the guy to explain it to me. All of a sudden you started to get rude. Instead of being an asshole, you could have explained it me. Anyway, good day.
@Krifko Why do you have to be from the "ghetto" to understand this song? That's very ignorant. Google Jimmy Hoffa and James Dean for the last verse. The whole song is talking about how he doesn't need to be on drugs to feel the highest great feeling life has to offer. While everyone around him is giving up on life, selling drugs, living life wrong, he's trying to live his life right. But to say you don't understand this song cause ur not from the "ghetto" means u have a long way to go in life
@RedBoiGoi My goodness, you are tiresome. I UNDERSTAND the song and its references. The guy to whom I responded, had a specific interpretation of a single LINE from the perspective of someone who shares Jay-z's background. So, out of INTEREST, I asked him kindly to elaborate on that.
@Krifko the second verse was about a guy dealing with a chick thats ready to do anything for a him even try to smuggle dope on planes and trains wherever,then when she goes to jail all her people just take everything from her noone helps her out…when he said every "Chrissy" and Tiffany Lane was a reference that it can be any lady from the hood to the suburbs….its just a song about doing things youre use to doing…cars,females,relationships,drugs..anything to steer us away from our prize
This is a timeless classic..This is when jay was at his best and pharrell laced the beat with pure dopeness..I hope his new album is called "The black album 2"..lol..That would be something epic.....
FUCK THAT WHO PRODUCE THE TRACK FUCK I DONT SMOKE AND I WILL HIT A B...... SIT BACK AND REFLECT ON LIFE UR LIFE HUSTLER OR NOT JUST LISTEN DAMN ONE OF MY TOP SONGS BY JIGGA MAN
comparing nas and jay z has always been tough for me...it's impossible to answer who's better..nas might be a better lyricist but jay gets better production and is extra clever and smooth..pause that but yea it's hard to answer that..one thing i can answer though is nas winning the beef (lyrically)..jay winning the battle though..
the allure of breaking the law......hot shit fo yo muth******* head right????....this is BA NA NAAAAZ!!!.....reminds me of my hustle dayz....lemme answer my fone y`all...the streets calling me right back.....

He's doing good so far. His video is on my channel and its deep
Please watch the video and hit the like button for him
