Jay-Z - In My Lifetime (Original Street Version)

[HipHopIsDeadMohsin]

JAY-Z=Greatest Of All Time.

[HipHopIsDeadMohsin]

For people who failed English, this song is about Jay's plans and ambitions for his life. What he has already done and how he wants money to motivate him to the top.

[rockerMan0987]

Hands down, the dopest dope I ever smoked!

[21Spocaj]

[LMMidwestKid]

On my block you're lucky if you see my silhouette

[CLASSYMUSIC1]

Dead presidents and songs like this made me take to jay. To bad he switched from the conversation flow.. Making him number 13 on my greatest list

[AraBlak]

If you don't like this, you're most likely some follower who wasn't around when this dropped. This is from the era when mixtapes were actually MIXED TAPES, and dope beats and dope rhymes ruled the streets.

[Damian2354]

And fuck dat weed, it keeps you broke. Invest in pounds of herb if niggas wanna smoke.

So true lol

[desidoe69]

Jay Z: In my lifetime, I've bullshited alot of people, stone lyrics and plotted one of the most successful music industry to higher levels mainly with the help of my Illuminati buds. Just one thing befuddles me, a NOSE JOB.

[NewYorkStateOfCrime]

@desidoe69 You think the illuminati helped Jay-z become successful? You really are stupid. What makes you think Jay-z was apart of the illuminati in 1995?

[RKG5A5]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime and @desidoe69

If there is an illuminati Jay aint get in good with them or chosen to be the face of hip hop by them until "Vol. 3 THe Life and Times of S. Carter" that era was when Roc-A-Fella really blew up, Jay was a superstar, set the stage for the blueprint's success, he started calling himself Jayhova, thats the earliest it could have happened not in '95, he claims hes godbody now though listen to his verse on hotty toddy with usher

[NewYorkStateOfCrime]

@RKG5A5 Yeha but Jay-z has been saying Rocafella since 1994 and ppl that claim Jay-z is in the illuminati say there is a connection between Rocafella and Rocefeller.

[RKG5A5]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime

i know, im talking about the unprecedented success that it had and the way he started calling himself God out of nowhere

[murph277v]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime who is rockefeller

[NewYorkStateOfCrime]

@murph277v John D Rocefeller. It is believed he was part of the illuminati. This guy had a lot of money back in the day. Owned mad shit. Was one of the wealthiest ppl in the world during his time. And ppl claim that Rocafella and Roefeller have a connection somehow. And the Triangle that Jay-z throws up is an illuminati symbol. But the triangle represents a diamond.. Like a Roc. And computer nerds try to say Jay-z is the devil and all that Corny shit but I just say fuck it And listen 2 the music

[murph277v]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime ya ino about the roc .. i was watching a interview about jay and rocafella and he said he was turning a white thing black .. all that illumanti shit is fake especially the lucifer reversed thing

[FOURZERONE]

@NewYorkStateOfCrime you say you listen to music but you dont know the meaning of what they are saying, jayz not the devil wtf -__- he is just a puppet of the illuminati they use him to spread the message, not just him a whole lot of the mainstream hip hop and rap artist.

[NewYorkStateOfCrime]

@FOURZERONE You cannot read. I never said Jay-z was the devil

[FOURZERONE]

@murph277v wow no disrespect but you need to get with the program and start to educate your self

[murph277v]

@FOURZERONE about wa .. rockerfller .. wel sorry 4 not knowing american stuff..im irish .. its lik me sayin to you how dont you no eamon devalera

[FOURZERONE]

@murph277v ohhh aight you put it that way i understand

[sciacca110]

@1DIAMONDSKY cant tell there both ill matic

[1DIAMONDSKY]

@sciacca110 i never sent that shut up

[KennyPierre]

This is it. I remember in 95 hearing this for the first time in Port au Prince, Haiti.

[mexkinpin]

"while niggas is shooting stupid im carefully plotting" daym i havent heard this shit in a minute.......one of jayz best i think ive been jamming this song for like an hour straight lol

[4never89]

[bozio89]

@4never89 yea da graveyard

[HipHopIsDeadMohsin]

This song here..

.. is dedicated to Danny Dan, and may he rest in peace

Who at his funeral left us with the words that

he did it his way (uh-huh, uh-huh)

So, I have no other choice but to do it my way

Uh-huh, uh-huh

[xbigeL13]

[Paris61992]

Damn I never Heard This I tried lookin for in but it always gave me the remix this shit fire i fucks wit hov all day greatest rapper alive

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

@Paris61992 I THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN THE REMIX

[lorenzk2]

Doo Wop 95, get the album  2 disk

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

this is also he first single ever done

[chicagoconnoisseur]

Yeah, this was the joint on the radio back in '96!! Dude had a lot of buzz off this one. I was like, who is dude, he's pretty raw?! Definitely a classic moment for me. I can still hear my tape with the static from the radio station on it, playing this cut!!

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

yeah classicccccccccccccccc but this came out in 95 my g.

[chicagoconnoisseur]

Yeah that's true. I knew it had to be around that time. I was in high school then, so that was a minute ago for me. Memories........get fuzzier with age.

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

u are right lol .yeah 95 was a cool year

[TheAceOfNewYork]

this wasnt the first single he ever done... youtube I cant get with that he made that in 94 and he been rapping since 88 with Jaz-O and then Big Daddy Kane

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

@TheAceOfNewYork THIS IS HIS SOLO SHIT, FIRST WAS I CAN GET WITH THAT. THEN THIS. I'M TALKING ABOUT SOLO WORK

[chicagoconnoisseur]

X, do you have the instrumental?????

[smoomin]

this is my favourite jay z song , its better than the remix

[MonoDde]

Love this old school stuff. The remix is good, but this is fucking DOPE.

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

i agree i always liked this better

[spliffgame]

jigga predicted his future on this track, he's definitely seen a whole lotta dough now

G.O.A.T

[liam94]

dude seriously could u send me this? i cant find it anywhere i can only find the remix

[slashzOrrr]

nothin beats oldschool . music now went wack.

[HipHopIsDeadMohsin]

@slashzOrrr technically speaking this isn't old school. Old school died in the 80s but

this is old age and its the fucking best.

[johnnysoofresh]

@slashzOrrr no not music juss hip hop

[slashzOrrr]

@johnnysoofresh yea by music i had hiphop in mind :) my bad
