Jay-z - You Must Love Me

[tonewaweru]

This is one of his most personal and remarkable songs.

[Barhuumi]

You'd think a guy that owns his label... multi millionaire would now make good music.... i don't understand why he's not putting out classic music

[Megatrousers]

@Barhuumi He is?

[Barhuumi]

@Megatrousers Lol... don't kid yourself the last good album he put out was american gangster

[ahmad312]

@juju5853 he's talking about both. Listen to the first verse dummy haha.

[Lavaba]

how about maybe your both right!



[Vanessa226]

He is talking about his mama....there is an article in a magazine sayin how she been clean from drugs for a long time now and how he used to be out there

[3112Neli]

google rappingmanual. th guy is good and doing it for free. give em props.

[jackie5389]

[kaylip77]

jayblaze took the words outa my mouth

[kaylip77]

this song  is about his life jayz is amazing poet i can relate

[LordHavMercy42]

He talkin bout his moms not no fuckin Marcy dummy.....

[AlizeCiz]

@LordHavMercy42 lol you think jays mom was a crackhead? ahaha she wasnt

[LordHavMercy42]

@AlizeCiz uhh yes she was champ.. Sorry but he was in no way refering to Marcy.. Listen to the joint homie.. You dont steal change from "Marcy's" Pocketbook... Last I checked, Marcy is not strong and beautiful, the way things should be.... He is definitely speaking on his moms....

[Rabizgevo818]

Eminem is still king

[keithfaceification]

@Rabizgevo818 dude eminem fell off mad hard

[ryaya69]

Jay-Z at his best, talking bout some real shit. My all time favorite song by him.

[JeanIDIOMATIC]

Real Recognize Real And This ForReal!

[luberoon]

i never heard THIS jay z

[TheEstboyz]

all time banger

[rappermatt1]

this, momma loves me, my first song are jay z's truest

[getrapedpmfl69]

@rappermatt1 moment of clarity

[AlizeCiz]

THE FIRST VERSE IS ABOUT MARCY NOT HIS MOM

[erand122]

@AlizeCiz i disagree teh first verse refers to marcy. where is the evidence its about his projects? i dont see it. show me the light...

[AlizeCiz]

@erand122 his book ''decoded'' straight out the camels mouth lol

[AllanOdu]

@AlizeCiz I dont think so i'm pretty sure its about his mom.

[ocho10cinco]

damn how can you sell crack to your mom? Nigga had to be in a HORRIBLE state of mind to do that

[youserious321]

Beyond a reasonable doubt, this is the best Jay-Z song.

[unolini]

Hands Down JAY-Z will forever be that dude!!!!

[Spiceman333]

@unolini That Jigga my nigga!

[SEYTHENAME101]

$EY YE$ (KEY FLOW)

Surrounded by psychotic, planet my projects, the last hope.

All these pictures I watched it, couldn't stop shit, now my flow went from sugar to dope.

Got em nodding, affections object, let em know I got more than musical notes.

Future callin, I already know what to call it, will I disappoint chall? NOPE.

ZOOM>

[610Skateboarding]

realest out there

[The1olemissfan]

Jay-Z looks like one of those al capone old mob type gangsters to me. no lie haha.

[gungyow]

@samizillaViaCarMelU Fuck that illuminati shit lol anyone that write enough shit and reach a certain level of fame will become a target off the bullshit. I,m sure that if i pick apart Willy Nelson's songs i could find some shit and be like "Oh OOh see he's illuminati" Why can a person go from nothing to som thing because he work hard and earned it? Is the Only Way a nigga can get out the ghetto to sell his soul to the devil or wtf ever you people think?

[gungyow]

[voltage997]

JAY-Z is nothing but a Illuminati puppet, before you dislike or yell at me cause u don't no anything, look it up its in plain site!!! bring down the Illuminati!!! .

[samizillaViaCarMelU]

@voltage997 why u wanna bring down the illuminati bro? by the way--most of us at least "know" how to spell the word.

[voltage997]

@samizillaViaCarMelU because they wanna put martial law all over the world and they worship Satan. and i know how to spell i was just making it short

[murph277v]

people dont realise but jay actually is talking about marcy in the first verse,not his mother

[Hi5Jerks]

LOVE HIM



[buttonsb74]

I FKZ WIT HOVA...............

[drebarber]

Running around in a circle

Thinkin I'm assed out

Hot gun burning my waiste

Ran straight to JAZ house....  Jay -Z

[mysteryguy856]

GTA 4<3

[beastmode40205]

@mysteryguy856 no that was a different song, the sample is just the same..the song on GTA is called I Want You

[ShiestLoCC1600]

I was arraigned in ya skirt...wat does that mean??

[MsJaylova]

Jay is a very well establish artist and if you dont know now you know its the survival of the fittest ; Love Love Love Jay style and charisma

[mjettp85]

every verse is gold

[illmanner]

This is da truth to bad hes in the way now

[nflfabfonz]

Does anyone else think this sounds like it's about his mom?

[GaChristianHY]

@nflfabfonz first verse: his mom, 2nd verse: his older brother. 3rd verse: I have no idea, maybe an ex-gf or cousin

[siniminiify]

i want more songs like this one!!

[yerizzity1]

The author of this video does not allow playback on iphone

[kobebb824]

BEST SONG EVER JAY-Z IS THE GREATEST HOV

[supermunyi]

lil b swagg whoop chef u have beeen knighted motivation

[yunngginfamous1994]

Jay iz that nigga, simple as that.

[jonoseah]

Just incase people have missed this, the first verse has nothing to do with his mother, his talking about Marcy. Listen closely

[rosiej1998]

@jonoseah OMG I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

[ChopsTV]

@jonoseah I thought this was the case too but one line makes no sense to me, at :47 he says "you was newly separated trying to escape your world"..... I don't understand how that could be metaphorically translated to relate to Marcy? Unless I'm hearing the line wrong

[Ace2CWB]

@ChopsTV I think it has to be his mom... in "soon you'll understand" he talks about how his mom had a new spouse... so i guess when she split with his dad she was going through some stuff until she met her new mate.

[JAY1BLAZE]

This is my all time favorite Jay-Z song this was the realest shit he ever spit not talking about cars, money, or chicks you could feel this and tell it was straight from the heart not many rappers could do this and paint such a vivid picture of personal events that happened in their life.... Thanks Jay.

[odog121]

@JAY1BLAZE There is so many, this is just one of them fam!! I feel you though!

[get2thechawpa]

idk wut people see in jay z his style sucks his lyrics suck and his flow sucks....all he got is his swag RAKIM FOR NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jay1vrez]

@get2thechawpa and youre watching this video because?

[1trezure]

@get2thechawpa you are one of the reasons he's still hot cause you call yourself clicking on his video to hate but the fact is you still clicked on it!!!!!! you hatin on him so much you don't even realize you've turned into a fan lol... let's just suffice it to say you hate to love him!!!! :)

[RegistrationCop]

@1trezure Theres a really good song with a great background bass line that almost sounds evil. I heard it on the radio, and in the chorus he or someone else is saying something to the effect of "You can't love me, You can't love me, You can't love me". Or maybe something like "You don't love me, you can't hate me". Something like that, but it doesn't have a LOVE feeling to it, nor is it a love song. Any idea what song it is? It could be a remix by another artist with his lyrics..

[h3llsdevil]

3 people have never been loved

[TheeGreenKnight]

anyone know how old jay was when he shot him? who was he strapping with bricks and putting on a plane to go ot.

[f0r3v3rxo]

@TheeGreenKnight he was 12

[thewordsofthamind]

Man H.O.V. all day Fuck Young Money. Even Drake don't come close, try another ten years then i'll rate him again.

[dadankness]

@thewordsofthamind Drake gets wrose with time.. Each album after so far gone.. has gotten worse and worse.. just higher production trying to to make us overlook his lame and weak vocals.

[thesouthrapsucks]

@thewordsofthamind co-sign to that !!!!!

[husseineno89]

@thewordsofthamind yeeahhh

[mistasmif31]

in a recent interview jay said he was talking bout when he shot his brother who was on crack at time for stealing his ring & selling him crack in this song

[Lebron1823]

@phoreoneone i just found out that i think i heavily favor Ny rap over any other bcuz when i made my list i realized damn near every rapper is from Ny, so i will admit 2 being subconsciously bias 1. Nas - legend 2. Big Pun - underrated/legend 3. Biggie - legend 4. Big L - underrated 5. Tupac - legend 6. Jadakiss - underrated 7. Jay-Z - overrated but he made reasonable doubt... 8. Rakim - highly influenced almost every1 on this list 9. Az - pure talent 10. Eminem - innovative flow

[JaeSib1]

NIGGAS SAY LIL WAYNE IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE LAST TIME I CHECKED H.O.V WAZ STILL ALIVE AND GOING HARDER THAN BEFORE!!

[princify]

damn this prolly the only j joint i havent heard..how did i miss this.

Hes talking about shooting his brother.

[BongRipBandit]

@princify seriously though same here mang just heard about it and was like wtf...straight to youtube...and then it was just sick

[pleezer10]

Another person I saw singing background before they hit it big was Anthony Hamilton. He sings the chorus for Thugz mansion by Tupac. Just some info

I wanted to share.

[pleezer10]

Kelly Price singing the chorus, she also sings the hook for more money more problems. Sometimes you never know how long some artist grind before they hit it "big"

[JaeSib1]

JAY-Z IS THE SHIT IF YOU DONT AGREE FUCK YOU HATING ASS BITCH ASS NIGGA!!

[ARGHRRS14]

@JaeSib1 You're an idiot.

[JaeSib1]

@ARGHRRS14 EY ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU ARE A HATER!! HOV IS BETTER THAN EVERYONE IN YOUNG MONEY DRAKE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COMES CLOSE!! IF YOU WERE NOT A YOUNG MONEY FAN I WOULD ACCEPT BEING A IDIOT!! BUT YOU ARE THE IDIOT FOR LISTENIN TO LIL FUCKING TWIST!! H.O.V BITCH

[ARGHRRS14]

@JaeSib1 Bro, caps lock key is on the left. OR ARE YOU FUCKING SHOUTING? Haha "Hov" sucks balls. The dude is like Dre, those niggas are OLD AS FUCK. Ever wonder why Detox is 6 years late? Cos they only let these kats out the old folks home for an hour a day. YMCMB till I die.

[whiteytighty34]

@ARGHRRS14 youre probably the type that doesnt listen to lyrics, just the hook

[ARGHRRS14]

@whiteytighty34 It's "You're" you illiterate fuck. You're probably the cotton-picker type.

[whiteytighty34]

@ARGHRRS14 Oh I'm sorry, i didn't realize this is english class....and im white, how can i be a cotton picker haha

[TheJallaalla]

he shot he's brother in the shoulder

[cocorobosit]

Saw the devil in your eyes, high off more than weed, confused, I just closed my young eyes and squeezed :|

[sorryunlucky]

@cocorobosit

Squeezed the trigger he shot his brother...

[k1llpoint]

The reason he wrote this shit,

because his brother stole a ring of him,

and jay-z shot him

he almost kill his brother because of a ring (-_-")

but still, fucking nice track

[jesseclifton]

@k1llpoint he was 12.

[ryty0591]

@k1llpoint it was also because his brother was drug addict

[MARQUESIEL]

deep yo

[tommybrown187]

damn i just shot my nigga...and ran into the night as if it was not my nigga

[MrDeer19]

@tommybrown187 lyinnn

[3WadeD3]

ALLOW me to reintroduce myself... this man no longer needs introduction. ALL HAIL the king of the industry.

[ineffect01]

@phoreoneone he "dumbed down for [his] audience and doubled [his] dollars" - good math to me

[murph277v]

@phoreoneone and nas hasnt .......

[jessicadelena]

What a awesome song lyric wise!!!!!.....he is so talented!!!

[PwnUser815]

@phoreoneone Relapse was awful I hear it...abunch about killing...and he cant make a decent punchline anymore without making fun of some minor celebrity...Em fell off

[YoungMarcel19]

@PwnUser815 Recovery was fire tho

[jonnyblaze142]

@phoreoneone

eminem is the hip-hop weezer. an artist who started off with so much promise, made an amazing two albums, then got progressively worse until he eventually became a parody of himself.

relapse was em trying too hard over the most generic dr. dre beats i've ever heard.

[krestal0]

@jonnyblaze142 finally... i was the only on em thinking em fell off. he even admitted it

[jonnyblaze142]

@phoreoneone

and eminem isn't?

[ineffect01]

@jonnyblaze142 haha 100% - relapse was garbage, and i wouldn't be surprised if he made such a bad album intentionally to amp up his comeback which wasn't even that great, but regardless it epitomizes commercialism.

[likanima23]

all i did was think about how the funds *** come

[MrOrdep92]

... you must

[EngleSackJus]

Greatest of all time based on sales, respect, and lyrics.

1. Tupac

2. Notorious Big

3. Nas

4. Jay-Z

5. Eminem

[tommybrown187]

@EngleSackJus  we agree

[3WadeD3]

"saw the devil in your eyes, high off more than weed, confused I just closed my young eyes and squeezed" ... amazing song jayz takes it deep in this and I think this one should be mensioned right up there with one of his best works.

[DBlockn05]

A fucking classic. Amazing! One of the deepest songs you will ever hear.

[spideymayne]

Easily his most chilling song ever. Wow, man. The impact of this song has never escaped me. Dude sold his own mother crack and shot his own brother. I remember when I first heard it, I asked myself, "What kind of man sells his own mother drugs? What kind of man shoots his own brother?" And lost a lot of respect for Jay for awhile. But on the other hand, it takes a real man to admit doing things this fucked up.

[Instinct1H]

@spideymayne Jay-Z never did either moron. He grew up with middle class parents wearing Hawaiian T-Shirts and sucking on Nas nuts. He made the shit up. WHat kind person does that?

[AlizeCiz]

@Instinct1H middle class? lol marcy in the 80s was one of the most dangerous housing projects in america kid. do your research.

[larrydempsey72]

just go to show u that no mater what your fam always got ur back. I say that because i have done some crazy shit in my life and my fam never stoped loving me. this song makes me think heavy thoughts..............

[shugrock]

"what'd i do ? turn around and sell you crack." "damn, i just shot my nigga" this song makes me really reminese on the stupid shit iv done through out my life

[Ruthli55Apo5tle]

This one of the deepest songs I've ever heard in my life, which is the reason why I still listen to this illuminati puppet to this day

[tommybrown187]

I HATED ME AND EVERYBODY THAT CREATED CRACK

[murph277v]

correct me if im wrong but is this the only song jay talks about shooting his brother

[hoodfellah]

this song remind me walking to school 

[youngzave1]

and--i aint shit. jay IS the shit!

[zsivaz]

This is proof why Jay is both Hip Hop's most underrated nd greatest storyteller. Its not just that he is lyrically flawless nd vivid but u can really hear the pain and hurt in his voice- unlike say a Nas or 2pac- who r also great stortellers. This is not th only example of the hurt nd emotion being present in his voice- regrets nd This Can't be life r great examples too. Hate him or love him- he usually always raps about his own experiences- which is y u can always feel his pain. Realest Rapper

[kingGary85]

@zsivaz  underrated?? mtv said hes the greatest mc of all time. he is a legend and one of the best ever but no way is he better than krs,eminem,2 pac, biggie, rakim, and some of the others

[zsivaz]

@kingGary85 I said Underrated "Storyteller"- most of his stories are about his own experiences- he doesn't often rap about other ppl or from the perspective of a gun like Nas nd 2pac- not that there is anything wrong with that. This i prob my fav. hip hop story

[swaggaBfresh]

@zsivaz what u talking about ??? lol Nas made one mic that shyt was deep and emotional wit feeling too pac made changes one of the greatest rap songs ever made ! lmaoo bring up some other dudes name if u tryna make a point but not them they can tell just as good as a story as this

[ibistanley]

This is is classic. Jay Z knows what a real hip hop is. He loves real hip hop. Even though Nas is my favorite and a better rapper than Jay, I think Jay Z is also one of the guys that have done a lot for hip hop. He deserve to be respected in the game.

[NUPE19771]

This guy has to be the best ever and this song was before it time .. we need a remix to this 2011 type shit.. ..

[mrairjosh1]

bluelibra65 your a idiot hendrix and lennon were cool but they both had some problems as well

[VannieYpc]

HIS BEST SONG

[richflow718]

@bluelibra65 If you can't relate stay quiet dude...you're probably a suburban guy who can't fathom what he's speaking upon...

[G2DaooZe]

"gun in my hand told u step outside, hopen u say no but u hurt my pride."

poetry...

[GeneralOJB]

I love this song so much. Jay - Z's best!

[ChiCagOh1]

"Damn i just shot my nigga, and ran into the night as if it was not my nigga"

[BongRipBandit]

@ChiCagOh1 yup hes talkin bout his older brother when he shot him for stealin and freakin lil jay z out haha

but seriously must have been crazy serious shit right there

[InfamousRain817]

Somebody post dis video please??

[stevendiplomat21]

jay z old shit was one of the truest hip hop

[bompton84]

this that pain music. if you a hood nigga and can't feel this you must be paralyzed

[bigheaded1]

realest rap song i've ever heard in life. this will always be jays best song imo. i think everybody can relate in some way to this shit. dunno why the females in my life did the things they did for me even though i didn't deserve it. you must love me

[KidATL06]

what is this sample???

[bigheaded1]

i think it's original production. maybe some of the extra vocals were sampled i dunno

[boobafatt]

It was an O' Jays sample. Forgot the name of the song.

[Lasfeld]

@KidATL06

o'jays - what am i waiting for

[kilakila614]

Jay started the beef, let Nas come at him, made a song about fucking his baby momma, then signed him to Def Jam. Jay wins hands down! NO contest as the courts say.

[mrdre78]

Now this is Jay rapping.....as oppose these other pre packaged (w)rappers.

[Madballs156]

This song is not about his actions but about how those actions changed his perspectives on life. A boy becoming a man. It's more than rap its life. That's what makes it real.

[logoism]

He sold his mom crack thats what the 1st verse is about. He shot his own brother thats what verse 2 is about. smh WAT AN IDIOT. UR IDIOTS IF U AINT KNOW THAT SO CALL JAY Z FANS

[jmaal2345]

Jayz>nas people come on nas only has 4 great albums illmatic it was written gods son stillmatic & that's it jayz has 11 great albums and all of them went number1 jayz all day

[KeepitRealCSC]

"why i rhyme above average but i aint shitt"-genious, what happened to real rap?

[meltheman2008]

People are obssed at the beat on ether, and the fact that they didn't think nas would get back at jay, that's why they say he won, because we love the underdog and we hate the people that always win (LAKERS) "you don't even know me and you hate me, how it feel to be a hater? now I know exactly how it feel to be a laker" Jay-z

[jadia134]

Real shit dis da only song when he talked bout shooting his brother

[YMMUSICGROUP]

what cd is this on?

[dubwillkillu]

streets is watching
