[LeTHaL0x]

What is the thing all of the fans do with their hands?

[skitzstatus]

it represents a diamond for rocafella records...jay-z's label...they can no longer do it tho cause they were sued by a wwe wresler named "diamon dallas page" cause he had the hand symbol patented

[zxa3000]

some say it has something to do with the devil but i dont belive it.

[jchoi309]

wow seriously go find something else to do instead of putting hate comments on each of his youtube vids, no one cares if you hate him

[filipboss89]

Jay Z is the best....werry good voice and performance

[DaSheepee]

he is probably one of thee best rappers... imo

[JayZisgarbage]

That "probably" in your statement just goes to show how unsure you are of Jay-Z and his legacy.

[DaSheepee]

sure man, your right im unsure of my own opinion

[JayZisgarbage]

You got that right. But you still my homey. Come sit next to me on the throne and witness the revolution for yourself.

[Orangeselect]

[JayZisgarbage]

I am neither Jay-Z nor Biggie Smalls. But I will tell you who I am. I'm the God of all Haters, and the Supreme Chancellor of the Jay-Z Haters Legion. Yes yes. Marvel upon my presence my friend.

[absintHorArkqn]

[Pixot]

[korfer103]

Jay z sucks!!!!!!! Listen to some propper Music!!!!!!

[claafrica]

just a damn mthrfckn mason

[sgbyrd17]

yeah who the fuck says nas is not on the same level as jay and wayne? NAS FUCKING MADE THE LEVEL THOSE TWO ARE SITTING ON - FAR BELOW NAS. Nas, Big L, AZ, Guru, Biggie, Big Pun, Wu, now thats a real fucking level to rap on..

[dogbert3002]

hell fucking yeah. nas and eminem best two rappers alive no doubt, even if nas has sold out

[OhNoItsAaliyah]

Stop comparing Lil Wayne to Jay Z. Jay Z's better

[renashi]

agree

[YoungVvs]

word........Jay-z is way more consistent than nas.......I heard plenty nas feature and it wasn't always on par........but nas is great by not as Jay-z lyrically.........

[JA2NJ]

Nas could've been next to Jay but he below him, pause

[dericolowery]

nas coo.. not on j or wayne level

[samualmonte]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOO, I laughed so fucking hard when I read that actually, I don't think you know who Nas is.

[malikjj]

nas is deff on jay z 's level. ...... and their both above wayne,

[Dyamanti22]

Jay-Z the best.

[eman347]

im glad he came back. even with Blueprint 3. its at least better than every other rapper out now. except for eminem and kayne

[Yorhymes1]

No doubt, Jigga's one of the greats. But I prefer Esco over em.

Btw, check out my up coming mixtape!

Up coming MC (click my channel!)!

Appreciate it!

[KOD9410]

the roc shall forever remain this man has forever dramatically changed the game there is nothing and never this man shall for immortalized in history i cant wait till my kids fall in love with his music like i do hope that there is someone in there future that will effect there lives threw music like he effected me . the roc forever kid jay-z thank you

[130902cn]

[lisapoo157]

oh yeah unbelievable!!

[YossarianeII]

Jay-Z Rules!!!

[houtx]

JAY-Z = KING OF HIP HOP

[fredenogieru]

Jay Z has been in the game for over 10 years, 11 number one albums in a row the richest in the industry lyrically one of the best if not the best What more do u want from him? No rapper is perfect, so i am really sure dat he is the best Reasonable doubt American Gangsta Black Album Blueprint.-............... He is just the best Hova

[guerebear]

FUCK YEA!

[fernando5413]

at 0:32 that girl had nice ass boobs

[Cr125rmxr]

Nah lil wayne sucks because he has the talent of a dried piece of dog shit. How about some Atmosphere, Murs, People Under the Stairs, Sage Francis, Brother Ali.....

Some real hip hop, not this top 40 crap.

[joinalbin]

hey go easy on this kid guys. hes only 12 and is prob exposed to the shitty rap they play on the radio these days. soulja boy is on his list only because hes exposed to him way more than the 100's of other rappers out there. no offense kid, but i have a few pieces of advice for u. 1) listen to eminem. 2) lil wayne is not number one because hes terribly inconsistent with his music. 3) soulja boy is the last of a thousand rappers (yes, worse than wayne. i hope u take my advice seriously

[joinalbin]

dude ur list is right on the money

[joinalbin]

nas, common and mos def should be higher up. lil wayne should be no higher than number 10. i kno its ur opinion but if u think lil wayne better than nas than ur out of ur mind. and nas should be higher up than jay-z. other than that i agree with ur list for the most part.

[joinalbin]

u crazy. u lost ur respect for nas either cuz u dont like nas or u like jay-z more. either way thats the point of a diss. ether is undeniably one of the best diss tracks of all time. he murdered jay-z with that and jay-z even admitted it and said nas won the battle. nas is a better lyricist and is much more consistent than jay-z. hov sold out on more albums than nas did. im not saying hova aint good, im just saying that nas is better.

[joinalbin]

agreed

[joinalbin]

Jay-Z's best albums: Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album

[mtabbs215610]

easily agrred common sense. and thats the ordr too

[joinalbin]

yea, i had to put it up cuz some ppl think hes the best at everything he does. no rapper is perfect. like many other artists, he sold out on a few albums too. american gangster is also a great album by him but not a classic like the top 3.

[LuisJosephSongs]

and blueprint 3

[joinalbin]

no blueprint 3 sucks.

[joinalbin]

hey ppl actually think about this. blueprint 3 had only a few good songs. the productions was great, im not gonna deny it. but lyrically? empire state of mind, a star is born, young forever, to name a few. its fun to listen to but its too commercial.

[hoodrichmahfucka]

when your as big as jay z its hard to not be commercial...everything he touches is viewed and judged ten times more then most artists

[joinalbin]

true. the other day i was listening to the song Off That on the blueprint 3. its a rly catchy song; hook by drake, sick beat by timbaland, etc. but jay-z's lyrics in it blows. thats what im saying. and thats not the only one.

[LuisJosephSongs]

what are u talking about, blueprint 3 was great

[joinalbin]

nah man. he had a few great songs on the ablum but he wasnt on top of his lyrical game for sure.

[kingjappyjoe]

i agree but am i the only one who feels that even though everyone calls resnble. doubt a classic i only liked about 4 songs bks finest, 22 2s d evils and dead prezes 2. i mean i like jay better than nas but illmatic was 25 times better than r. doubt

[joinalbin]

yea i kno. and i never said anything about nas. but i agree illmatic is much better. reasonable doubt is his best. the only other albums that comes close to this one lyrically is the blueprint and the black album

[mtabbs215610]

lol thats absolutely retarded. reasonable doubt kills illmatic and jay-z kills nas. if your a nas fan, i feel for you. i really do, i get how nice illmatic was and then how nice it was written was, and then how mediocre i am was and then how he gradually fell off with every album. dont get me wrong, stillmatic was nice, but to ever say he is better, more consistent, or anything in relevance to being better than Jigga is just blasphemous.

[mtabbs215610]

anddd blueprint 3 was Now. very creative and you can tell he put his heart in making not just good hip hop, but good music. everyone put 110% into that album, everyone that had a part in it, killed their part. dont say it sucks. its actually very good. "jigga on that new shit, they be like how come. niggas want my old shit, buy my old albums."

[joinalbin]

yea it was creative, it really was. i loved the production. but lyrically, not so much. yea i guess saying it sucks is an overstatement, i retract my statement. but i think its "good" at most.

[joinalbin]

nas only had one bad album. that was nastradamus. i have to agree to disagree but i think its personal opinion on this cuz they both have different styles and approaches. reasonable doubt is in the mafioso genre and exceeds in that area by far. illmatic is basically a representation of his life and life in general on the streets of new york. lets leave it at that. they both did a lot for hip hop.

[samualmonte]

Lyrically Nas is better on any album.

[dogbert3002]

hahhaha

[agrotis79]

Best song by Jay Z

[Fe11a11]

I wouldnt go that far but i would say if he had a best of all time album Encore might make it.

[Ndukwe88]

JAY-Z = KING OF HIP HOP

[JoeyFudd]

His voice is weak. Not in Eminem's league. Listen to "Square Dance' or "Till I collapse" without prejudice. Lots of rappers dis Em based on skin color. That's racist. Even Chuck D said Em was the best.

[usmarineoneil]

lol at u idiots yelling freemason and don't even know what it is. Masons have to believe in god, i know plenty who go to church every Sunday and are nice people

[postmaster89]

free masons

[604Bee]

JIGGGGGGGGA IN VC, GM PLACE TOMORROW.

[MsMerising]

Man...if he had stayed retired but came out to drop 'American Gangster' than retracted again? His legacy would have been flawless...

Still love Jigga, though. Always :)

As fate would have it, Jay's status appears to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye, when I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5, It ain't to play games witchu It's to aim at you, probably maim you, If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens Cocksucker take one for your team and I need you to remember one thing (one thing), I came, I saw, I conquered from record sales, to sold out concerts, so muh'fucker if you want this encore, I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore....
