CORPORATE AMERICA KILLED HIP HOP.....they wasn't paying us no mind when they though we were just a fad, just a bunch of black kids making noise, that why they let us rock with our own labels. Then, when they realized we were making money, they wanted to jump on the band wagon and that's what watered our shit down. And you know who was the main one letting them on JAY-Z! king of the sellouts!
Great you uploaded this one HennessyCo ... been looking for this a while now... it cover's alot of great, talented multiple artist's at the time! Good rap and a little bit of rock! Peace!!
i find it hard to believe that 1st freestyle by jay was in 93... didnt he have the wazy hair cut back then, plus if he all that then he woulda been outshing big
@aaaaaaalbo it has nothing to do with being a sell out because Jay still makes HIS music not music for the radio. if you want an example of a sellout then look at Eminem and what he's doing now days.
being mainstream doesnt automatically mean you sold it
@MichaelScarn23 Ok, let's argue fact. Jay's lyricism is superior in terms of storytelling, wordplay, his employment of double (sometimes triple) entendres, metaphors not to mention Jay's beat selection and song writing ability.
You may argue this is also opinion or that it's subjective but I don't subscribe to that way of thinking. As a hip hop head I pride myself on being able to rate an artist's skill. Hov's simply better than X. This is general consensus amongst other heads
@Bankallday Jay is definitely more consistent in terms of hits and that is a huge contributing factor to his success. But as far as peaks go, I think X had the higher peak and the biggest buzz back in the day. If I remember correctly, he had two platinum albums drop in the same year during the 90s. Those are facts because they can be backed by record sales. As far as 'who is the better MC', that question will always be opinion-based. You can't dissect a rhyme like its a math formula.
@MichaelScarn23 Says who? I can dissect rhymes however I want because music's open to interpretation. And as I said prior to this comment, its general consensus (as well as my opinion) that Jay's by far the better emcee in every facet of rhyme compared to DMX. Tbh this isn't even debatable who's better, I'm saying all this as an X fan
You're arguing record sales which don't mean shit to me. Btw All of Jay's albums since 98 have been number 1's so that renders your point moot.
@Bankallday I was the one who said Jay is CONSISTENT so why are you telling me about his #1 albums when I have already acknowledged them. The point I was making is that Jay is consistently hot, but DMX had a FIRE peak when he was bangin. Regardless of all that, you said it best: "MUSIC IS OPEN TO INTERPRETATION". So how the fuck is that different from my argument that music is strictly opinion-based? Ez.
@Bankallday agree with what you said as well, and X is one of my favorite rappers but I also strongly feel jay is more lyrically talented and consistently better than X...but X aggressive style in his prime made him look 10 times more superior than any other m.c. in the game for a short while...X himself even said jays one of the most talented m.c. hes ever fuckd with...they both have two different styles, people who like the more aggressive type of rapping would most likely choose X over jay
@MichaelScarn23 i'm a fan of both jay has been the most consistent but back in the day dmx was that Nigga...niggas need to go back and look at the run x had no disrespect to what jay was doing but x was on top of hip hop at this point of time this film came out
@Bankallday Yeah but he was jus as hot that still doesn't take away from his lyrics stage performance and presence...basically no matter if jay is the best x ain't no slouch you heard dame in the movie said they battled for 2 hours that's crazy how would it have went take long if it wasn't a back and forth if it was a clear winner dame wouldn't sugar coat it he would of said x won or jay won meaning x was the only Nigga around ny at the time coming up as talented as jay
There are NO hip hop concerts going this hard these days. Seriously, that's an amazing amount of talent on one roster. I think the last concert that was at that level was the Up in Smoke tour and that was around 2000.
i have this .. err .. correction .. i HAD this on dvd but i fucked it up when i was breaking sticky up on the case and it accidentally opened up and the cd fell and got scratched to shit .. yea .. thats my story .. backstage is fuckin ill though ..
I REMEMBER THE HARD KNOCK LIFE TOUR WHEN IT CAME TO EL PASO. I WAS 12. DUDES' SMOKING ALL NEXT TO ME, ASKING IF I WANTED A HIT. MY SISTER WASNT HAVIN IT. GOOD TIMES. THIS WAS THE ONLY CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO
I'm trying to find a song by DJ CLUE & ANTOINE called "Strung Out" or "Girlfriend" that is supposed to be on this soundtrack. Anybody know what i'm talkin' about? Cant find this song. (318) 459-0222 hit me up.
these were the days..east coast had unity and was gettin that paper nowdays niggaz is beefin over petty issues and non of these dudes are cool with each other anymore except for meth and red(obviously)
THANK YOU for uploading this! I've been looking for this for YEARS. (Imean...i guess nowadays, I can just buy it online...but I'm talking about during the days when blockbuster was poppington)...lol
I was there at continental!!!!! currently known as the izod center, the shit was classic, I was a part of history. I went to that motherfucker with a sore throat and the flu, and the shit was well worth it. Every thing that happened in the set when hov had the giants jersey on , and the rest of the sets really happened on stage... One of the essences of hip hop TOURING
Ja used to be X's hypeman. That was probably something Irv Gotti put together before X really blew up cuz Ja been rollin with Irv for a long time. If you notice it worked out fine cuz after that Ja Rule started blowing up. It's almost like a way to pay your dues before you get in the industry.
I just watched this movie from Netflix and I was tryin to show my nigga online when beans was punchin that white boy up lol. shit had me dyin. but I bumpe dinto this. If i knew I can watch it on youtube, then I woulda never even ordered it from netflix.
This is when hip hop was in it's prime. Some real MCs that been rapping in the old school genre. I just wish Nas was there. My favorite outta all of these rappers is my nigga DMX.
They dont show dmx'z part cause waah of the ruff ryders told dame not to videotape dmx cause his lyrics arent copywrited they didnt have a deal yet...... this was in 1993 and they x didnt get his def jam deal till 1997....
