It's Obvious you have no idea what his words mean. I guess he should rap about money, girls and cars. Then it will make sense to you then.

[patkl31]

Hahaha, I listen to it now.

Understand why it was Obvious.

PEACE!

[3399philly]

the same sword they knight you with, they gonna goodnight u with,shit thats only half if they like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3399philly]

implied to me that he really understands whats really going on in this country.think about what jay, pac and biggie have in common.1)money 2)RESPECT and influence of the youth3)power 4) they all have songs and freestyles talkin about the illuminati !! 2 of them have closed unsolved murder cases?Coincidence?? u tell me oh and lol "word down on wall st,homie u need to cash out!!" hes talkn about pullin his money before the economy collapsed last year!! ha get em jay!!!

[3399philly]

jack?what? dude thats the point he is just say'n he has no need to make the more profitable move dick....and as for the rest of the freeestyle, hes talking about his life and how when u make that kind of money and gain that kind of influence, u start see'n that ppl with the roccefeller,the fed,big) control the ,media, banks and in turn the public opinion and the country,an they wanted to control him...iv talked to jay a few times and i once asked him about 9/11 and his answer really

[rcraftee1]

[jessmoh]

[3399philly]

def the sickest feestyle iv ever heard, dude is on a level of his own...........................­no one can freestyle an hit sooo many topics and so many truths!!!!!!

[dipset2022]

Everybody want to be the king til shots ring

Or you Malcolm Xed out getting distracted by screams

Everybody get your hands off my jeans

[Eleets1985]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

Time's most influential ws impressive, esp since i wasn't in the artists' section. Had me wit tha builders & de titans had me right wit Rupy Murdoch!!!!!!!! Damn!!!

I like de way Hov is aware of de fact dat despite his success he still is a Jr in the corp world of wealth wit dat reference 2 Murdoch. I predict Jay will soon be as influential as dem capos.

Salute 2 de boy from de projects.

[irvingyusef]

[andre20001]

"ch3ck out my song got to get this money on my page""

[Domonique25]

bosses

[datniggawolf]

man razor mind sharp ya digg straight off da brain wayne or anyone else cant fuck wit dis nigga (see success is like suicide) niggas stop hatin on a nigga dat made it

[kingofkings153]

Phil Rizzuto was a shortstop and later a broadcaster for the yankees... he was also a spokesperson for The Money Store for about 20 years. thats what Jay is referring to... he beasted on this

[positiveone2000]

Ridiculous. The sad thing is that only a fraction of the audience can only appreciate the extent and depth of what he just rhymed...."IPO hov no need for reverse merger, the boy money talk no need to discuss further." IPO= Initial Public Offering (taking a private company public via the stock exchange) / Reverse Merger = the taking over of a public company by a private company.... He is literally discussing the area of high finance.

[alboeski]

Fuckin Wow thanx 4 translating.......looks like some saw the movie Boiler Room once or twice.......

[xowalawalaox23]

i thought i was the only one who understood that.. i think this is like top 3 most lyrically disgusting things hov ever said..

[Eleets1985]

Word. Wat u wrote also applies 2 reasonable doubt wen he touchd on investin in Yen amongst otha notes

[jackadonis1]

Once you ponder what he said however, it doesnt make sense. IPO's are used to raise money, at a specific point in time, whereas Reverse Mergers are usually a tool in a long run term strategy e.g. to improve a reputation of a company or escape chapter 11 (for the acquired company). Jay get's it backwards: IPO's take longer and are more of a hassle (can take years) hence they are usually (not always) an end in themselves i.e. money. RM's are quite easy and can be accomplished in a matter of weeks

[jackadonis1]

Furthermore, his rhyme seems to imply they are mutually exclusive- "ipo hov, no need for a reverse merger". Most Reverse Mergers can lead up to IPO's for the acquired company. Wasn't trying to get deep but this is endemic of Jay-Z's style. He chooses flow over substance many times and seems not to want to spend time editing his rhymes like nas or biggie. He has an excellent flow, but like 2-pac he'd rather do a song in a week or day then take time with it.

[liljigga215]

the topics this dude hit in this freestyle can make a compleat album

[bertmarx]

camel pic u wildin'

[kinghaynes1]

Is This On A Mixtape???

I Cant Download It

They Had It On Limewire For A Second But Its Gone Now

[CunnyFunt42]

my president is black - jay-z remix......

[ballinhard2002]

why is this man so good, I dont understand this. This man was freestyling so hard that his mouth couldnt keep up with his brain. He is like wine, he keeps getting better with age. Just stop lying to yourself, this man is the best

[skylarcraz]

hahaha i agree!....

[CunnyFunt42]

Im day after drunk listening to this song on repeat.... goodness gracious, audio splendor.

Nothing worse then a quoter but...: "...Bills that I do fold, now invest, tryna find some loopholes in the IRS"

[CunnyFunt42]

cant deny this man...

[AnObsoleteMan]

im so glad i found this, i got this on my mp3 palyer, fukin dope, wats wit the last 4 minutes be silent?

[nicknkeia]

"everybody look @ u strange; say u changed, unh',

like u worked that hard 2 stay da same, unh',

game stayed da same; da name changes,

so its best 4 those 2 not overdose on bein famous,

most canes gets driven so insane that they tryda hit da same vein that Kurt Cobain did". Haters wouldnt understand what J is sayin. Fuck em'!-S Fuckin .!($)($)($)($)($)($)($)($), bagz of money

[nattyc]

wats da beat from??

[AnObsoleteMan]

grammy family- kanye

[SDSOverfiend]

I like this freestyle it was Dope as fuck but........It did'nt make me cringe as hard as Canibus old freestyles did sorry.

Still one off his best though. Nice to see he did'nt make it into a somg.

[skahskahskah]

yeah he nice but it ain't a free

[geodavis]

who cares most rappers couldnt write this good in a year, let alone think it and store it in your memory without ever lifting a pen. who else but jay?

[skahskahskah]

cass, wayne, mos

[xowalawalaox23]

cass and wayne.. both come in the booth.. with there iphones or sidekicks with there shit DEFF..

[thatbboyrandom1]

@skahskahskah lil wayne? is your head on the wrong side?..

[geodavis]

this dude is andy warhol with lyrics

[mrhorn2001]

@geodavis

this free is on more than one level. it's checkmate in four moves and like fischer this is a genius at work, very deep. basquiats and warhols in his lobby... forbes mag on the living room floor... sickness.

[Da1datknowsabit]

They bulid me up brake me down build up again, then Hov we need u back so we can kill your ass again!

wow!

[tmura37]

god damn!!!..... i havent heard ne freestyle better than this

[bettadayz2006]

this is the second hardest freestyle i ever heard. But the best i've heard was by jay-z too. Biggie, Pac and Jay-z greatest rappers of all time.

[yunghed]

Whats the first? Shit i need to hear that one if its better than this....

[bettadayz2006]

My bad homie I'm kind of late reading my messages. But the best freestyle I heard was the Big L and Jay-Z - 7 Minute Freestyle. I like that one lil better.

[jdmckiss]

The has a awsome flow, but you have to expect that. He is a profressional. If most kats quit sitting in the club every night, and put some words on paper they could be nice too. "SOME" of these kats out here today get hot over stupid dance step songs. WTF!!! that shit aint hip-hop! I can't knock there hustle cause its a marketing game and they are in it to get paper. Its alot of nice kats out there not getting picked up cause they will not bow down to the "myspace"marketing plan.

[mymoneyndabank]

o my god.

Thats all i can say im just shocked i had to listen to it a couple of tiimes cause i just get lost in the flow and lyrics at the begginnin that i aint even hear the end good

[ramalnosaj]

...hov's got flow though he's no BIG and PAC but he's close, how am I supposed to win they got me fightin ghosts...?

-it's true...we'll never know how BIG and PAC's careers would've developed. jay will always have to live in the shadow of BIG/PAC speculation. he'll never really be the best.

honestly, how many artist flow that deep? jay

[bctbcbg2]

"Hov got flow although he's no Big and Pac but he's close how am I suppose to win when they got me fighting ghosts?"

[bctbcbg2]

"Hov got flow although he's no Big and Pac but how am I suppose to win when they got me fighting ghosts?"

[snapshot1]

There are a lot of cats that can freestyle. But what makes Jay different, LISTEN to the flow! It's an effortless flow of metaphors put into flow he has mastered. I've heard many freestyles and when you hear them start to repeat there words after every few bars or so, there mental has not reached that plato.

[carlos1ga]

he has a real good flow

[mccarrero]

abody get ya hand out my jeans!!

[jdean1]

jay pauses a few times in the beginning waiting for flex to go crazy and hype it up but flex cant even keep up with his train of thought...damn goat!

[jdean1]

jay takes pauses waiting for flex to start goin crazy but flex cant even keep up with his train of thought...damn

[korranrivers]

The dude is a genius

[Javon1487]

if you listen to the words this is a sick freestyle

[fl0boi87]

WOW!!

[heatman233223]

man this is old i have it since dec 06. but its jay best free

[fl0boi87]

is it on a mixtape??

[heatman233223]

dude i know i have i it since nov 06

[Ironman87]

hahaha i had to read "asprincotton's" comment to get why there was a picture of a camel. haha cam'ron's too funny. on real talk tho.

this is quite possibly dopest "freestyle" ever recorded.

[MrUNsrvable]

see martin see malcom

see biggie see pac see success see its outcome

see jesus see judas

see ceasar see brutus

see success is like suicide

[yunghed]

u cant say enuff about this shit. "To be bobby then u gotta be bobby now"... Sound like excerpts from success. As proof to how great this shit is, its avg rating is 5.0 out of 5.0

[geodavis]

people keep saying that this is HOT or ILL. this is so much more than that. this short clip alone represents a vision of hiphop that didnt exhist before. EXTREME SUCCESS. BUSINESS SAVVY. If bill gates or donald trump had the ability to rap this is how it would probably sound. ANY NERD can get on tv and fake being a gangsta but this type of perspective cant be faked. the only way someone can rap like this is through ACTUALLY LIVING THROUGH IT. HOV IS MUSICAL BRILLIANCE

[mrhorn2001]

@geodavis

best comment yet on this free bruh

y'all can gossip while we learnin the world

i knew it back when jigga said he read the robb report

when he said he flip biznesses with one eye closed like peter gatien. (sans the eye patch).

this free has shit in it EVERYONE MISSED. bruh if you caught a jewel trust you missed another.

[djizzl]

aw man, this freestyle is legendary, swear he shoulda used it on Kingdom Come

He did mess up jus a lil bit but all is forgiven for spittin all that raw

Did he mess up or was he self-editin hiself?

[JayJaeMc]

Can we please bow our heads and have a moment of silence for the beat, 'cause Hov just murdered it...

"So it's tough being Bobby Brown

To be Bobby then, you've got to be Bobby now

now the question is, 'is to have had and lost

better then not having at'... maaaaannnn"

[buffalobills4eva]

the same sword they knight you ,they quick to goodnite you!!!!fuckin sick....

i thought nas was the illest but i never heard nas free even close to this,I've rewinded this 7 times and can still find metaphors and crazy shit.Imagine if this nigga sat down and just worte an album...imagine if we just got serious in this shit.

Half ya'll niggas don't understand that jay plays around....if he took this shit serious...wow

[buffalobills4eva]

'if you succceed prepare to be crucified'.

'most kings get driven so insane that they try to hit the same vein ,that kurt cobain did"

"everybody saying they want the old hov,but the new improved hov,HIT LIKE ALBERT PUJOLS"

"in a race to abillion,got my face on da ceilin,knees on the floor,please lord forgive em,has he lost his religion,is the greed gonna get him,HE"S HAVING HEAVEN OF EARTH WILL HIS WINGS STILL FIT HIM"....G>O>A>T

sickest freestyle I EVER HEARD EVER!!

[Mfnc1]

[LIONOFJEWDA]

-I see we're in da same state-

[LIONOFJEWDA]

Yo niggas who listened don't evn get half of what this nigga really was saying . sort of a preminition. wow! Get koch, hov! You got da nets, So get that too. So Independent!! But the shit is who's on Koch? niggas who keep shooting at his body -Note:99 problems- Talking greasy about HOV jim jones n a few others. shut dem down, HOV! Biggie- more money more problem. the more sucessful da more stressful-hov! Muhammed hovi!

[QuezEastwood]

[LIONOFJEWDA]

I read that you in Manhattan, well i'm in mia. I see we're in da state. (context) That nigga Hov #1. NYC.

[LIONOFJEWDA]

Nigga get Koch and shut dem down! Hov! I'm tired dem other niggas shit. I don't wanna hear the rest of dem. Greasy as niggas. At first Niggas like hov and then shit on him. Fuck ass niggas. May the Lord bless ya -Hov. Keep Bleek. Loyalty - you can't find that shit no more.

[wakedufucup]

[geodavis]
