We got the bad bitches gaspin for air in Aspen, searchin for aspirin, when im ass in.. Yo, Sauce Money verse was fuckin genius.. Dude was on some next level wordplay.
ha................ curren$y has a flow that u have to understand .and if u dnt u probly talkin shit for not knowing real shit..... and he killed that shit real hard.. real smooth... thats one homie that iam thankfull for on this planet never changing his style or selling out..............and sorry jay got his hole style from big l....................real talk if it wasent for l jay wouldnt even be around .......r.i.p Big L
I read that Nas was supposed to be on this track, but he didn't show up for the recording session, and that that sparked the beginning of the feud. If only he had shown up, this song might have been even better, if that's even possible, and perhaps the feud never would have occurred.
Spitta ripped this shit, to shreds. But its only a few fuckin wit the old Jay, "Got alotta things to drop, niggas wanna try to hear my long jeans" if you JetLife fareal you know where that came from and where Spitta gets alotta shit from. Due to knowledge due to few dollas Spitta quoted all that shit in his raps.
Sauce Moneyyy..... Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm.....Raw voice and raw delivery..... See, DELIVERY that's what you have to have lyricism is not enough. Yep, this also still in the whip on blast!
One of my favorite songs on RD - 3 great verses. Sauce Money should get more credit than he deserves but it's a shame when Jay and Jaz-O wreck this beat like they did.
@456micman I wouldn't say that DJ Premier is the best producer. I think that Erick Sermon, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, and RZA are better producers. Erick produced Doc's The Name and The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World. Pete produced Ready To Die and Ilmatic. Dre produced Doggystyle and Regulate. RZA produced Only Built For Cuban Links and Liquid Swords.
@SumRealShitMan187 Dre produced All Eyes On Me and I wouldn't replace it with Mecca And The Soul Brother because that is Pete Rock's own album. I named albums that they produced for other people. That is why I didn't name React and Music, Mecca And The Soul Brother and The Main Ingredient, The Chronic and Chronic 2, or Bobby Digital In Stereo and Digital Bullet.
@mricw1 Oh ok, so you can say Center of Attention of I.N.I. for Pete. And don't hate on Slim Shady, his first lp was pure classic shit !
Oh and how could you forget marley marl ? for all the big daddy kane, biz markie, kool g, ll cool j, masta ace. Man is a legend. and i'll add lord finesse (lifestylez ov da poor & dangerous, ready to die) and dilla (how the fuck you forget about him? with Stakes Is High & Fantastic vol. 2) peace.
"Street knowledge amazes the scholars when we coin phrases for dollars". people can say what they like about rap, look at that line and see why this is the Music i love.
get the fuck outta here with that "commercial rubbish" bullshit...he was amazing back in the reasonable doubt days no doubt and he still is....niggas who say jay fell off ain't listening to his new shit and aren't real fans. that shit pisses me off. and fuck anyone who says he isn't the best rapper of all time. listen to his music the man is definitely the greatest rapper all of time. AND finally he is Illuminati..
"Can't do for dolo, had to turn away when Tony killed Manolo. (That's real) mixed feelings like a mulatto, thug thought he was OG Bobby Johnson I played him like Benny Blanco" Realest shit on there if you ask me
Jay Z's lyrics are impenetrable! The dumb niggas don't get it, his flow is so deceptive that to the simplest of minds, they'll assume he's not rappin about nothin when really he's talkin real shit on a level they didn't know existed. Mason or not, Hov is my man.
I think Tupac was the best rapper because of his influential music. But no one can deny Jay Z's lyrical genius. The only problem with Jay Z is he thinks (or maybe is) he's part of the Illuminati both of which aren't things to be proud of.
you guys don't give his other albums a chance, i happen to think reasonable doubt is the best album by anyone of all time, but jay dropped plently of classics for his true fans in all his albums you just gotta listen for them, he is not a sell out he made his money but listen to the words he drops in american gangster, its lyrically just as good if not better than this
you cant blame jay for not being the same rapper he used to be. it comes a time u just run out of stuff to say and when you become so far away and separated from that life style its hard to talk about it anymore with a sense of passion once you've described it to its full extent.
reasonable doubt shows why jay is one of the best all time
@randomday1234 you expect a 40 yr old millionare and tycoon to still rap grimey and hood? you a dumbass, jayz and eminem won at life, all that ghetto shit was was from 15 yrs ago you rookie
@19MJsPr89 Truest comment dude....Nas: Halftime....pac: Pain....Jay: Dead Presidents.... NOT Hip Hop Is Dead, NOT Ghetto Gospel and NOT NY State of Mind!!! Fuckin limp dick kids these days.....
@19MJsPr89 God beless you ...lol....Alot of these fucking young herbs forget that Jigga Man Jay-Z had the nicest flow ever and they forget that Shady is absolutley the most dynamic rapper alive right now because of all of his past work...Dumb kids dare speak down upon Jigga Man and Shady while screaming bout Wiz kalifah, Lil wayne and Minaj lol...GET the FUCK outtta here...Just because they dint choose the NAS path and decide to fade away before pop culture could corrupt their work.
@GuerriIlaWarfare Nas made some sell out moves with Nastradamus and QB's Finest. Nas & Jay-Z both have quite good discographies overall, but I don't think Nas has made a great solo album since Stillmatic, and I've not been that impressed with a Jay-Z record since the Black Album. I think Recovery was good, but Shady is nowhere near as dope as he was 10 years ago. I have no problem with people liking Lil Wayne or Wiz Khalifa, but it offends when people rate them higher than Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem.
@19MJsPr89 I never said I had problem with the fan boys either..only when they think their dude is nice..The thng about Jigga Man is.. he told his lifes story all the way through and to be honest he has run outta things to express..hes been a rich guy for a long time lol...He is far removed from the streets and he already spit his story...Rap music has a direction and a purpose over a beat using a NICE flow...the direction Jay has to use is that of a rich guy which is not as appealing.
@GuerriIlaWarfare Alright gtfo here with saying Jigga had the nicest flow ever, first of all Nas gave him that style to run with, second Shady is asssssss now and he will never spit sick shit again. third Nas still continues to spit with the illest flow so many years later. Therefore Nas will always and forever be the GOAT stfu with your Jay-Z shit. Jay is number 2 though :)
@FamousChris14 Lol Flow numero Uno goes to Hovito lol dont forget it...Nas is the greatest rapper of all time...illmatic is all you need to defend that...Nas had better lyrics than anyone but Jay-Z most def had a flow that could out do ANYONE..DP1, and 2 ,Bring it on, Politics as usual, 22 two's, Feelin it, FLOW all of em and not t o mention all the other etc's .Jay just puts it together smooth as fuck..I cant say Nas dosnt, but Jays laid back tit for tat style just make me belive in his flow.
@GuerriIlaWarfare motherfucking RIGHT! jigga and slim are legit! get ur shit straight people. all haters should get off their ass and read up about rappers and research em
You speak nothing but truth, most these kids who weren't born in the 80's just don't know what the GOATs were doing in their prime. Reasonable Doubt/Blueprint 1 and Slim Shady LP/Marshall Mathers LP shits on just about anything made from 2000 to today.
@mag42987 No beef, but I take offense to you putting an Eminem album on the same planet as Reasonable Doubt. Em has never made a song this good in his life. N-e-v-e-r. And I'm saying that as a fan.
@spideymayne fuckk outttta hereee eminem has lyrically slain songs with this caliber. Maybe the subject matter is crazy but it doesn't downplay the serious wizardry.
@eastbaybochat yeah i know that already.but still its pretty dope only a hiphop heads can understand that though.organized and jay are genius regardless though.this album is a push to me.
to me i think you can be rich and stay true to your self at the same time thats why jay z is rich you cant be a billionaire and still live in the hood thats why you go commercial it the next step to success
"I am 2.2 pounds you're barely 125 grams wouldn't expect yall to understand this money do the knowldege do to few dollars I'm due to demolish crews brooklyn to hollis to a hood near you wtf!"- My big cousin thought me how to rap that when I was 8 and then I told everyone I made it up myself I'm a freaking liar.
Never a big jay z fan in fact, he was outdone on this track. He still at least had some street flav and when primo got deep like on this, it was tough to match. Jay is long long gone from this feel
@RocNation93 Jay was in his mid-20s when Reasonable Doubt dropped... he's now in his 40s... he has a totally different mindset at this point in his life, why on earth would he still be rapping like he was 15 years earlier? can't stand when niggas say shit like that.
Real talk, from an MC standpoint, this might be Jay's greatest verse of all time. It's also my favorite song on my 2nd favorite album... Illmatic by a hair lol.
@sfknns Good answer. Thing with Jay though, yes he went commercial, but he kept it street. He didn't pull an LL Cool J move and completely forget about the streets. Jay has been able to touch people both street and commercial. That is why he is the GOAT.
I don't know man... Ether just seemed like one male telling another male how unattractive he thinks he is, plus some made up shit. At least Jay was telling the truth in his shit. He fucked Nas' girl, no made up shit there
@YoungWolve1 i can understand nas not showing up just cause he said he didnt know jay like that, but come on AZ?! dude was actually tight wit jay so he should have atleast came.
Nas and AZ were supposed to be on the orginal version of this instead of Sauce Money and Jaz but they weren't fucking with Jay like that so they didn't show up to the sessions. lol Jay-Z's been on Nas' dick. haha I like this version of the song though.
@ZatoOW Well a video cameo is one thing... jumping on a track is another. Like Ghostface was in that Jeezy video, but you would never see Ghost doing a song with the dude.
Big Jaz fucking kills the final verse. Jigga is a legend, shame he doing that commericial rubbish, but lyrically he is awesome, I think Big L influenced him alot more than people realise.
We got the bad bitches gaspin for air in Aspen, searchin for aspirin, when im ass in.. Yo, Sauce Money verse was fuckin genius.. Dude was on some next level wordplay.

Never a big jay z fan in fact, he was outdone on this track. He still at least had some street flav and when primo got deep like on this, it was tough to match. Jay is long long gone from this feel

@RocNation93 Jay was in his mid-20s when Reasonable Doubt dropped... he's now in his 40s... he has a totally different mindset at this point in his life, why on earth would he still be rapping like he was 15 years earlier? can't stand when niggas say shit like that.

Real talk, from an MC standpoint, this might be Jay's greatest verse of all time. It's also my favorite song on my 2nd favorite album... Illmatic by a hair lol.

Is going commercial wrong? I dnt think so....

@danielmedlock4 , its wrong if you're gonna compromise your art!
sfknns 1 year ago
@sfknns Good answer. Thing with Jay though, yes he went commercial, but he kept it street. He didn't pull an LL Cool J move and completely forget about the streets. Jay has been able to touch people both street and commercial. That is why he is the GOAT.

I don't know man... Ether just seemed like one male telling another male how unattractive he thinks he is, plus some made up shit. At least Jay was telling the truth in his shit. He fucked Nas' girl, no made up shit there
But hey, to each his own...

@swaggsurfer11 Bring it on (Jay-Z). Classic premo beat, then the flow is on point. One of the tightest songs on the Reasonable Doubt album

Nas and AZ were supposed to be on the orginal version of this instead of Sauce Money and Jaz but they weren't fucking with Jay like that so they didn't show up to the sessions. lol Jay-Z's been on Nas' dick. haha I like this version of the song though.

Big Jaz fucking kills the final verse. Jigga is a legend, shame he doing that commericial rubbish, but lyrically he is awesome, I think Big L influenced him alot more than people realise.
