S. O. Keeps it the realest in all his tracks, people just gotta listen to what he say. These days all people care about is what rhyme and how the beat sound. Jay z got the most cray lyrics
Damn jay went in. "everybody wanna a king, till shots ring, and you're laying in your balcony with holes in your dreams. Or you're Malcolm X'd out, get distracted by screams. Everybody get your hand on my jeans. Everybody look at you strange, say you change. Like you work that hard to say the same. Game stays the same, the name changes. So its best for those to not overdose on being famous"
"The Same sword they knight you they're going to good night you." WHOA!... To translate that, "The same way they bring you up will be the same way they bring you down." That's human nature for you, root for the underdog and bring down the top dog. Only a few in hip-hop have dodged the blade. Jay-z is one of the lucky few. This is one of my favorite songs from him because it shows he is well read.
Jay-Z wasted no Bars on this track...Geessshhhh! Every Bar hits you with truth and empathy.SMH in awe from how poetically in depth he went on this track. Every song he did with Chris Martin was a classic.
the lyrics on this track moves me every time I listen to it. I don't think Jay-Z ever spit more pensive rhymes than on this track. This song is very underrated I guess because it's a green lantern mix.
"Everybody took shots up at my body, I'm tired / Build me up break me down / Build me up again / They like HOV we need you back so we can kill ya ass again"
I'm really sick of people comparing this dude this pac n biggie. Those dudes were the best during their time, now they remain one of the greatest of all time. Jigga has been surpassed both of them dudes. He is truly the greatest by a long shot. Took the game where no one has took it
@poetmm That would've been hot being said that way but Jay-Z said" Hov got flow though he's no Big and Pac / But he's close HuH! Close to where they got me fighting Ghost!"
@jaydastar23 actually @poetmm had it somewhat right. Read Jay-z Decoded, the lyrics for the whole song is in there and he explains parts of the song, "Hov got flow though he's no big and pac but he's close / How I'm supposed to win they got me fighting ghosts.
Jay-z in the book says that nobody knows where big and pac would have ended up had they not been killed yet, he is compared to where big and pac could've/should've been.
Jay-Z is a king. With the same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with Shit, thats' only half if they like you That aint even the half what they might do Don't believe me, ask Michael See Martin, see Malcolm See Biggy, see Pac See success and its outcome See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus See success is like suicide now they wanna kill Hov with the illuminanti bullshit ! Copy and Paste to every video you with people talking rubbish about Jay in the illuminanti
"they might good night you, wait thats only half if they like you, dont believe me? Ask Michael" explain this to me im confused he says somtin like this
@PsychicPomPom 1. "with the same sword they KNIGHT you, they gonna good NIGHT you with", here he's basically saying people love you and accept your talents at first, but they cant wait to tear you down and watch your demise.
2."shit thats only half if they like you/ that aint the half of what they might do/ dont believe me ask Michael"
put the 2 lines together, "Michael Jackson in the 80s was loved & adorded but as time went on people wanted his head..D.A/lawsuits/hanger ons/media etc.
i hate hearin about how if your not a conscious rapper and isnt deep than your not good. there's other aspects of life. u cant listen to conscious rap in the club, or when u just want to have fun. if you always want to be in deep thought then fine but other people dont take everything so serious and have fun. hip hop was all about havin fun and partyin. hip hop wasnt always lyrical. ex rappers delight. most of the first 8 bars weren't even real words.
LMAO... . .. Lol! I swear its funny, sad & scary, how everything that Jay-Z is saying is so true to the deepest of the core! It doesn't matter who you are, where you from or what you wanna be, day-dream to be or trying to be! the rule's of life on the road to success are the same for everybody! The knowledge is there, "The Bible", Sun Tzu "The Art Of War", Niccolo Machiavelli "The Prince", Robert Greene "48 Laws Of Power". Everyone cheers for the underdog; then success brings downfalls! Its Life
@Angels8Harmony That has to be one of the best comments I have ever read. very thoughtful. I was contemplating whether or not i should by the 48 laws of power but i think i should. Thanks
@Talentz92 I appreciate that to the core! Thank You! Yeah thats an intriguing book with formible knowledge. i'm a big fan of Robert Greene; just a reference but, if your into books like that you also might wanna check some of the others books i mentioned in my top comment. Thanks again man!!
@Angels8Harmony Yeah i saw your top comment and bought the prince a while ago, it was written like 400 years ago yet most of the things he says are still done today a VERY good book that one, thanks. I haven't got the 48 laws yet but i did buy the 50th law and finished it in a week, i'd say its the best book i have ever read so far. I have never been able to relate to a book like that ever.
@TheJADatsyuk I fell you I had to go back and re-listen to alot of songs i thought i had already "decoded"...truley an insightful read...also shows why he can neverbe compared to an act like lil wayne!
@SoloBarrix I know! This one guy on here just said "Nas and Jay-Z are real rappers, but Lil Wayne is a metaphorically, simile inclined master". I thought he was joking! At least I hope he was...like, are you f'real?
the hook chris martin is saying,is from a painting hov has in his house,the painting is by Basquiat,a young artist who overdosed,the painting says...most kings get their heads cut off...i read it in jays book...its a hot song,jay is a beast...greatest artist in our lifetime im 25 hes been doing it since i was 11...ITS THE ROC..
If Yu Read His Book He Not takinq About the Devil He Talkinq About The Differences Between Wat have Could have been iiF biggie n pac Was Alive And How People are Compariinqq Him to them.. And he Is Also talkiinqq About phoney ppl .. "Same Sword the Knight You They Good Night you With".. Jay-Z Defintion "I Wanted To Conjure An Image Here: Someone Kneeling Frist To Accept The Honor Of Being Knighted And Then Being Beheaded With the Same Sword The Posture Of Honor transformed to on of execution"
LOL...I recommend ppl who look at the negative responses to this video. To look at the Youtube Profile of the complainer to see what they consider quality music from their favorites or homeade videos. All i have to say is "It speaks for itself"
@bradyboy1793 ummm he grabbed that verse and put it on "Lost" man..."Most Kings" came out way before the remix of Lost did...He putthat verse on "Lost" because it was an underrated verse that had more of a meaning to it...damn people need to look more into the song to see when this actually came out before they bash it...someone just posted this but it was made way before the lost remix came out...gheesh
@MrBkofi lol u 4got wu b4 em neday and I can name 20 b4 canibus no doubt on nas tho but he aint #1. he in the top 5. no such thing as a top 3. wtf happened to jada, mobb, or any big (y) (l) (p). # 4 on ur list has gotta b a "lil" somthin right?
J don't really ever say shit! He is a hustler cause he can confuse anyone with his skill and finances! I am not impressed with him because he just knows what "you" want to hear! He is no Big Or Pac! If he was dead he would not be better than Big or Pac! But you don't hear me though...Smh but I see why yall idolize him! Yall don't know when pac and big was murdered rappers stop being real and started fronting hard and J did it the best and now all we got is bullshitters fronters frauds nonsense!
@clarkeworks25 yo dogg, i swore you are right men..jay never said any shit.lol the only shit he ever sing abt is the same bullshit, money, hoes n clothes..that is why i don't see him..rappers like pac was remembered bcus his songs TOUCHES THE HEART..N HE MAKES U THINK DEEP, HE spoke to the street, n he wanted to change the hood, jay rather worsened the hood.shit even T.I will be remembered more than jay, cus atleast he sang some positive songs.
@MrBkofi did you listen to a single lyrics in this damn song? none of this is about money hoes and clothes, listen to Renegade, or Beach Chair, lots of his songs are just straight up about growin up in the ghetto and bein a drug dealer, listen to November 4th, he was lyrically gifted, he dumbed himself down for the public which was retarded but he has diamonds in the rough
"muthafuckers say that im foolish i only talk about jewels, do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it"
@cbcbc96 you are telling the truth...a lot of these people only listen to the songs that play on the radio or on tv....but they're afraid to listen to the album, and skip to the next song...smh...but you are 100% right...much love
@cbcbc96 pls..the truth is WAS THOSE SONG PLAYED ON RADIO?.yeah he sing abt ghetto life, but he needs to make THOSE SONGS SINGLE.nga has a voice n an influence in the street, but he don't use those voice to bring positvity.y u think we got rappers like lil wayne.no offense.he's a legend..but nga wuld never catch up wit pac..ngas remenece on pac,bcus his music concept has a message.song like GHETTO GOSPEL..it's speak to the black ngas suffering in the streets..jay is busy making it RAIN
@MrBkofi thats true, and im not tryin to say jay is anywhere near the level of pac, but its different times, when pac was around the general public wasnt so dumbed down, look at early jay z, hard knock life was a hit, dead presidents was a hit, really dope shit that wouldnt make it today, its sad but true that jay dumbed his music down along with the public, he fed them what they wanted instead of enhancing their taste, so his real lyrical songs dont get airplay anymore but if your a real fan of
@cbcbc96 today ngas even call pac a prophet..all bcus of the things he said in his songs..he was never scared to speak wat's real..even if it leads to death..that's the heart of a TRUE WARRIOR. if jay wouldn't have dumb it down, then atleast we will have had some REAL CONSCIOUS rappers in the game today.this y i like rappers i like rappers like T.I. nga.never sings some deep shit...like i said men POSITIVE MUSIC lives forever
@MrBkofi t.i.'s aaaight, his shits gettin kinda weak though, listen to more underground and you'll find better music, you're obviously lookin in the wrong places for your real hip hop
@MrBkofi hip hop you wouldnt just pay attention to what was on the radio, jay took the path that would make him the most money in the era he's in, im not justifying that, i would've rather he made more dope art, but fuck it, the people that cant appreciate this can listen to Empire State of Mind and people that know hip hop can listen to this
@MrBkofi back when pac was making those songs that was the norm and popular. now days its more of the party style of rap.jay-z playin the game the way he should. he drops nuggets in a catchy song. people who try to beat youover the head with deep songs all the time wont get the message across because they preachin to the chior. people who already think like that. why not talk to the masses. but as far as makin hood song goes. hesn not there anymore. he moved and and grew up.now he talks success.
@cbcbc96 yeah i agree wit you men..but that ain';t an excuse..pac was making sensible songs, but still..ngas were buying his albums, album like " me against the world" has a lot of positive songs..bt still went multiplatinum..just look at jay's latest album "BLUEPRINT 3"ngas is at 40 n still rapping abt money..why u think today all u hear from the radio is MONEY,CARS n HOES..lil wayne n dem ngas looks up to this nga..so if the master makes shitty music, the children too will makes shitty music
@MrBkofi he still raps about money but ina different context. i mean he brags but its not that "we get money over here" crap. he talkin about wealth. creatin a empire rather than just be average and forgotten. he talks more about legacy and greatness. so no he's not makin dead presidents anymore. why should he. he spoke qabout that life enough its time for an mc to talk about progression. people wanna talk about where they at. thats fine. but i rather talk about where im goin.
Your 41 dude! We expect you to have skills you been rapping for 25 years easy!
People going to like your shit even when you 60 and still rapping! At least 50cent knows how to make money in more than one way! 50 made all the money jay got in what 5 years!? Seriously they target 50 more than they target jay! stop bullshiting already jay z! Ppl just want you to fall back no one wants your head that's u kno this that's why you so confident you str8! stfu! but yall don't hear me though! smdh
@clarkeworks25 u sound fucking crazy the shit 50 mad jay mad that in 18months on clothes do ya history on jay then talk. infact pick up forbes magazine 50 aint on that lol
@garytaylor41 your talking now I am talking how in 2003 -2006 50 made more than jayz besides the point is get off jayz dick! 50s first album is classic and sold more than jay z's I know you hate the facts! 50 had the highest first week sales and would still be killing em but he fell back and decided to make money in more than one way!
no middle man to cut out in 50's case! I don't read the forbes but I know 50 has been in it stupid fuck! your a idiot cause jay z made 100million 50 did 4x's that
@clarkeworks25 pussy dont let this intermet shit get ya feeling tough... i aint on nobody dick pussy how many number 1 albums 50 got.. shit how are his cds doing now pussy lol 50 got enough money to put a water main in africa lol pussy 50 go his on distributing company .pussy get up on ya facts who hot from g-unit right now lol now try rocnation again who is on forbes and who is not pussy
@garytaylor41 and 50 made his bread off vitamin water and u tell me how many times 50 was in forbes jay was in it 3 times... jay got clothing liquor clubs restraunts. basketball teams he doin business wit big names 50 who im a fan of money aint long as jays u fuckinn morond ur prolly broke urself u 50 dick riding bitch fuck u talking slick on the internet u saw me in person youd run pussy
@garytaylor41 Nonsense! Your the tough talker! Nonsense again! Fall Back! Your missing the point and I ain't even got to block your shot! I'll slow down to let you catch up! I'd run up to you and bust your ass punk! 50 ain't got to waste his time rapping where jay does and he don't own teams dumb fuck he got a wack ass team that don't even win championships! 50 did it all in less time! Hate or love it but we talking facts right biotch? 50 gets hated on jayz gets too much credit! and you prove it
@clarkeworks25 Then why is 50 trying so hard making songs with soulja boy because he not relavant anymore jay z made like 60 millon more per year than 50 since his vitaminwater deal and jay z is top 5 best rappers period 50 cent isnt even in the top 20 get serious
@IDoomsday4you Trying hard? 50 is 50 the Real Business Man! don't hate that! it's funny how much you don't even realize how much you actually hate 50 because you love J! I mean you did all your research and what not and fail to realize what was the point! The point was J been doing this for like 25 years and now with all the recent fame thanks to B he finally came up! SMDH When J actually starts talking for himself and stops acting like a puppet I will show him respect but he antisocial F him
@garytaylor41 nas is slept on like g unit so is mos def and many other artist! your lame rocnation is just a publicity stunt crew! they all gimic! which is cool just not a logical reason to hate on 50 or to ride jayz dick! Your mad cause he been in the game for like 20years and just now is a fat cat! idol don't forget 50 cent was iconic almost immediately like biggie was jay z is a sucka who took too long to get where he at! damn you must have been sucking his dick when u read my original commnt
@clarkeworks25 they target 50 more then jay? what about those illuminati and devil worshiping shit about jay. And Jayz does more then just rappin what are you talking about lol
I just finished reading his book Decoded and all I have to say is holy shit. I loved his music before, but now I realize how much meaning is behind his lyrics, and what kind of person this man truly is. And the thing is, he wasn't young when he did his fist album, he was already 27 years old! Crazy!
Every one knows im the NEXT EMINEM I AM Court3sy I DO EVERYTHING MY SELF IM ONLY 23 YEARS OLD IM A SOLO RAPPER/BEAT MAKER/PRODUCER/GRAPHIC DESIGNER/C.E.O OF MY OWN MUSIC LABLE(COURT3SY RECORD'S) CHECK OUT MY NEW SONG "DUMB DUMB" FEAT. (CELLY CEL) (PROD. BY ME Court3sy) YUP IM THE NORTH WEST KING Court3sy. THE REALEST/DEEPEST/ RAPPER U WILL EVER COME ACROSS. SEARCH CELLY CEL ITS GOING DOWN HE'S A WEST COAST LEGEND AND HE'S ON MY NEW SONG "DUMB DUMB" SOME SAY I SOUND LIKE LIL. WAYNE I SAY DIFF
makes me feel bad for successful people until you are one you will never understand what they are going through to be a constant target? people dont like you just because you made it...
Man u missing the whole point of this song he is not talking bout good and evil or the devil he is explaining about success and eat comes with it Martin Luther king was killed when he almost achieved his dream malcom x was killed when he got more recognition and started to change his beliefs michael Jackson was involved in scandals after becoming the biggest pop star ever etc. So therefore the same sword they knight you with they going to goodnight you with.
how can people not call jay-z the greates... im just so confused! :(

@bradyboy1793 ummm he grabbed that verse and put it on "Lost" man..."Most Kings" came out way before the remix of Lost did...He putthat verse on "Lost" because it was an underrated verse that had more of a meaning to it...damn people need to look more into the song to see when this actually came out before they bash it...someone just posted this but it was made way before the lost remix came out...gheesh

J don't really ever say shit! He is a hustler cause he can confuse anyone with his skill and finances! I am not impressed with him because he just knows what "you" want to hear! He is no Big Or Pac! If he was dead he would not be better than Big or Pac! But you don't hear me though...Smh but I see why yall idolize him! Yall don't know when pac and big was murdered rappers stop being real and started fronting hard and J did it the best and now all we got is bullshitters fronters frauds nonsense!

@clarkeworks25 yo dogg, i swore you are right men..jay never said any shit.lol the only shit he ever sing abt is the same bullshit, money, hoes n clothes..that is why i don't see him..rappers like pac was remembered bcus his songs TOUCHES THE HEART..N HE MAKES U THINK DEEP, HE spoke to the street, n he wanted to change the hood, jay rather worsened the hood.shit even T.I will be remembered more than jay, cus atleast he sang some positive songs.
MrBkofi 10 months ago
@MrBkofi did you listen to a single lyrics in this damn song? none of this is about money hoes and clothes, listen to Renegade, or Beach Chair, lots of his songs are just straight up about growin up in the ghetto and bein a drug dealer, listen to November 4th, he was lyrically gifted, he dumbed himself down for the public which was retarded but he has diamonds in the rough

smajied09 10 months ago
@cbcbc96 pls..the truth is WAS THOSE SONG PLAYED ON RADIO?.yeah he sing abt ghetto life, but he needs to make THOSE SONGS SINGLE.nga has a voice n an influence in the street, but he don't use those voice to bring positvity.y u think we got rappers like lil wayne.no offense.he's a legend..but nga wuld never catch up wit pac..ngas remenece on pac,bcus his music concept has a message.song like GHETTO GOSPEL..it's speak to the black ngas suffering in the streets..jay is busy making it RAIN
MrBkofi 10 months ago
@MrBkofi thats true, and im not tryin to say jay is anywhere near the level of pac, but its different times, when pac was around the general public wasnt so dumbed down, look at early jay z, hard knock life was a hit, dead presidents was a hit, really dope shit that wouldnt make it today, its sad but true that jay dumbed his music down along with the public, he fed them what they wanted instead of enhancing their taste, so his real lyrical songs dont get airplay anymore but if your a real fan of

@cbcbc96 today ngas even call pac a prophet..all bcus of the things he said in his songs..he was never scared to speak wat's real..even if it leads to death..that's the heart of a TRUE WARRIOR. if jay wouldn't have dumb it down, then atleast we will have had some REAL CONSCIOUS rappers in the game today.this y i like rappers i like rappers like T.I. nga.never sings some deep shit...like i said men POSITIVE MUSIC lives forever

@MrBkofi t.i.'s aaaight, his shits gettin kinda weak though, listen to more underground and you'll find better music, you're obviously lookin in the wrong places for your real hip hop
cbcbc96 10 months ago
@MrBkofi hip hop you wouldnt just pay attention to what was on the radio, jay took the path that would make him the most money in the era he's in, im not justifying that, i would've rather he made more dope art, but fuck it, the people that cant appreciate this can listen to Empire State of Mind and people that know hip hop can listen to this
cbcbc96 10 months ago
@MrBkofi back when pac was making those songs that was the norm and popular. now days its more of the party style of rap.jay-z playin the game the way he should. he drops nuggets in a catchy song. people who try to beat youover the head with deep songs all the time wont get the message across because they preachin to the chior. people who already think like that. why not talk to the masses. but as far as makin hood song goes. hesn not there anymore. he moved and and grew up.now he talks success.
dottibody 10 months ago
@cbcbc96 yeah i agree wit you men..but that ain';t an excuse..pac was making sensible songs, but still..ngas were buying his albums, album like " me against the world" has a lot of positive songs..bt still went multiplatinum..just look at jay's latest album "BLUEPRINT 3"ngas is at 40 n still rapping abt money..why u think today all u hear from the radio is MONEY,CARS n HOES..lil wayne n dem ngas looks up to this nga..so if the master makes shitty music, the children too will makes shitty music
MrBkofi 10 months ago
@MrBkofi he still raps about money but ina different context. i mean he brags but its not that "we get money over here" crap. he talkin about wealth. creatin a empire rather than just be average and forgotten. he talks more about legacy and greatness. so no he's not makin dead presidents anymore. why should he. he spoke qabout that life enough its time for an mc to talk about progression. people wanna talk about where they at. thats fine. but i rather talk about where im goin.
