  • @brianredneckct

    hah HIP-HOP SONG??? WTF IS THAT....

    Hip-Hop Is A Colture... RAP Is The Music Of Hip-Hop...

  • @nenetooo1 *culture

    Hip-hop is a genre, rap is the vocal style of that genre.

  • This song is classic, but I feel this song was an attempt at recreating hard knock life. 

  • Damn Jay 2nd verse actually made me cry yo! HOV was tha illest back in tha days!

    I dont care what ya say, the most REALEST song!

  • @MD1ism i agree

  • @neotri45 hell ya that 2nd and 3rd got me... lol fuck it this whole song got me lol

  • @ddlast

    Cheers, no wonder. I thought it was on a Jay-z album, and thats where I've been searching.

  • I still wear those hats.

    sick song

  • Gotta let it bump!

  • MY FAVORITE JAY-Z RAP SONG

  • this song is exactly about what frank lucas did in american gangster where he moved his whole family to ny and took care of them. thats probably why jay z got influenced by it.

  • Wasnt that anything song on Oliver Twist :)

  • It is freaking hard to find. Such a good song as well.

  • Big tune from Jigga even though its old its still hot

  • My shit!!!

  • we waste too much time with things that don´t pay anything were blinded from the media and the fake system,i don´t want to disturb nobody but too much of that things implimentate

    fake feelings in us and make us live an lie ALLAHU AKBAR one day we all stay in front of our creator, and nothing of this can help us to find the way..we must realize it....search the truth... search islam

  • @onemuslim1 I don't practice Islam. But I see the knowledge you're putting down. It's way of life. It's difficult to be who you, are for all of us. I realize that it's about releasing the ego. That is the true fog the stops us from seeing what truly matters.I'm not trying to come off like a preacher , Its just that I'm also in the constant struggle and have to always be aware of it. One Love

  • @upin2880 preach on

  • this song made me get my grind on.for real!!!

  • this track can be found on beanie siegels album called the truth

  • I sometimes think my parents are going to outlive me.... :(

  • i will buy anything for my parents

    if i get rich one day

    God bless you !!!

  • Don't worry about the material things little homie! Just give them your love and spend time. That's what is essential. Trust me I almost lost my mom to cancer.

  • @upin2880 wise words, stay up bro.

  • Ya man, after life show you some things it changes you. Made me realize most of us are chasing after shinny things. But in exchange we're running away from the things that matter. Time can never be bought back, So its the most valuable thing we can give. If you are meant to be rich you will be. All we can do is be true to ourselves and others. That's just how I feel. One love.

  • I could'nt have said it better. No doubt. One

  • @upin2880 I Feel U Dawg My Mom Had Breast Cancer And Those Days Were The Worst Days Of My Life But I Thank God That Im Still Fortunate Enough To Have My Mom =)

  • Times are tough sometimes for all of us aren't they. I'm glad everything worked out for you and yours in the end. Seems like there some real people on this page droppin posts. Big respect to all of you!

  • @upin2880 word me 2

  • i feel this way about the 3rd verse to the children of my brother and my cousins...

  • TUNE!!!

  • i wonder what song this was sampled from

  • FINALLY AN UNCENCENSORED VERSION!!! Very nice

  • white trash peice of shit, learn music fool why dont you go grow you hair out wear tight pants nad listen to metalica while you parents drive you to work and buy you new clothes every 3 months bitcha ss punk

  • what? hes thanking his mother for raising him in hard times then at the end he bought her a house

  • I'm black and relatively poor compared to the kind of person your describing. Thats touching about his mother its nice to hear that his mum did that and that he was grateful. I still despise the video.

  • well obviously he was poor to and thats why he is making this and other great songs if you actually listened to songs maybe you would understand

  • why should i sit here trying to decrypt his ghetto language? i can barely understand what hes saying apart from this nigga that nigga something about giving a 9 to a child and something about his nephew? it sucks. i can listen to it but i can only understand the occasional sentance by which i'm apalled. maybe he EXPECTS everyone to listen to it over and over learning to understand what it is hes even saying and maybe after a few weeks understand the hidden positive message

  • a retard could figure out what hes saying.just look up the lyrics poindexter

  • @joemoma90 You know im right dude. You can kick and scream and bitch all you want but deep down you know this is pure arse gravy and every minute spent watching it is a minute wasted.

  • i know that your an ignorant nigger

  • You put the word ignorant infront of the word nigger... your just proving what a dumb ignorant shit you are yourself tbh

  • why'd you send that comment to me? in any of my sentances did i ever use the word ignorant or nigger, unlike you im not sum yokel that thinks every1 else is wrong when really its you thats wrong

  • Outstanding hook from Oliver! and another from Annie! done with more creativity than you can conceive, and Jay-Z's worth 300 mil or more - flawless execution and conceptual genius.... irregardless of the n word, what Jay-Z has accompished is the american dream...

  • @NikoMadness

    maybe your such a poor piece of shit to buy new speakers, or your just a retard. what he is saying is not hard to understand you racist piece of crap. i can understand him and im not black, dumb shit

  • You are too stupid to insult, Im listening to this and there is no "ghetto" language, its pretty clear. Maybe you just came on this page hoping to rile people up w/your ignorance. Fkn joke. [afterthought: Love this song :D]

  • This video depicts every little thing that makes me sick about western society, and it defiles oliver. Sickening.

  • this is one of his best
