  • in my lifetime was a classic yall jay-zput some earrings in and wore the same rolex he had on in the album i was so surprised of how that turned out

  • genius idea

  • Best Commercial I've ever seen

  • I'd like to see Nas do something like this, and see how he'd pose for Illmatic and It Was Written.

  • why Jay-Z looked pissed the whole time ?

  • @DmackMasteric3 He's not looking pissed, he's looking stauch and stoic.

  • I wanna see Jay do the Watch the Throne cover... Lool

  • if you didn't understand this commercial without the help of the comments, go assassinate yourself

  • @Silquik true dat

  • Classic

    

  • They should've thrown in Best of Both Worlds, Unfinished Business and Collision Course, even though he wasn't on two of those covers, they're still a part of his history

  • they forgot the illminati album cover lmao

  • @tjcco2005 Lol, I don't think it's because they forgot about it

  • 0:01 Reasonable Doubt

    0:07 The Blueprint

    0:15 Vol 2. Hard Knock Life

    0:19 The Dynasty: Roc La Familia

    0:26 The Black Album

    0:32 Kingdom Come

    0:36 The Blueprint 2: Gift and Curse

  • @PoohbearProfessional Everybody who watched this video already knows what albums they are

  • @tjcco2005 Lol..i know. I just had to name all of em....also replying to nattylovesrichie09 comment. Deuces!!!

  • thumbs up if you haven't met Jay Z but feel like he's your brother, u know him n shit

  • One of the best commercials I've ever seen.

  • notice how all his album covers where mature.....not no stupid shit on em

  • One of the dopest commercials i've ever seen.

  • whats the song in the background called?

  • @diddy9918 Run This Town ft. Rihanna and Kanye West

  • Go Jay-Z He is the best!

  • JAY-Z ♥

  • This will forever be the best commercial.

  • Illuminati made. Keep dancing monkeys!!

  • @The80zProduct

    Haters would say that

  • @The80zProduct your a real dumbass. You think the illuminati helped his career ? And dont give me that Rocafella/Rocefeller bullshit. Jay-z has been saying Rocafella since 93, so since 93 when he was a nobody he was in the illuminati ? Think about that.

  • @NewYorkStateOfCrime Rocafella records was established in 1996. Do your research.

  • @The80zProduct Okay you probably googled that, check Jay-z 's early demo tapes when he was a nobody. Back in 93/94....Mentions Rocafella. Do your research buddy.

  • @The80zProduct Illuminati is not real, Tupac said it himself in his own words. Fools completely misinterpret the meaning of 'killuminati'. Ironically, kind of proves the point why 2pac ridiculed people that prefer to remain ignorant and blame some magical secret society for all our ills.

  • @ElOnlyMan I've always interpreted "killuminati" as a movement to take down the elite class. The Illuminati, I believe, exists. Are they to blame for our problems? Probably not, but from what I see their presence is heavily insinuated in mainstream media.

  • @The80zProduct Haha

  • then all the girls at free record shop and music store could be the women of your dreams sucker

    (for nattylovesrichie09)

  • then all the girls at free record shop and music store could be the women of your dreams sucker

  • That was just...so awesome

  • So creative to have him go through all the album covers!

  • ♫♪~*♫ If you can please take the time of day Look me up "Mikey L" I got my own first page on Youtube: 16 year old Latino.. Humble hearted Rapper/Singer/Song writer..I won't waste your time i been getting alot of positive feedback you be the judge of this..Check me out. Thanks to those who listen ♫~*♪♫

  • anyone notice the 0:17 mark.. 

  • @kool4eva whats those signs at 0:17 i cant read cuz they pass real fast.

  • @3WadeD3 song titles..i saw 99 problems (the red-white one that comes first, slanted) and 1900 hustlers

  • Rhapsody is complete garbage. No disrespect to Jay Z though. If you ever have a problem and need help from customer service, it's like talking to "Peggy" from the discover card commercial! Stick to iTunes!

  • @RJBbass2000 iTunes is a scam. They go to such great lengths to protect their copyrights that the music you purchase can't be played on other computers and isn't compatible with mp3 players other than the iPod. Amazon is the way to go for digital music, but I try to stick with buying from a record store anyway.

  • @2xN you know what? I think we should go back to the way we used to by music...from the store,ha,ha! But even stores are starting to dissappear. And your right, Amazon is a great way to go when it comes to buying music.

  • Just made me realize how many damn albums this guy's put out in the past two decades

  • 80 people don't get it.

  • JUNE is ALLLLL over this commercial!! I love it...

  • Reasonable Doubt FTW!

  • This is the most creative commercial ever. If not the the best then for sure top commercials ever.

  • HA! I'd like to see how he does the Blueprint 3 album cover

  • whoever came up with the idea for this commercial is a genius !

  • @PhillyCatlien thanks for the kind words. it's the favorite one i've ever done.

    

  • 0.26 was that Affion Crockett

  • ART put into commercial form..

  • i love love LOVE this commercial. pretty damn awesome.

  • I really did like this commercial. Really cool how the went through album covers

  • AHAHAHA This really has HD wow I'm amazed, its even better than vevo.

  • 0:34 Jay is getting old ! look at that album in original form.

  • @TexasHasPoo yes he is getting old but look he still at the top of the game and im doubt norone in hip hop can beat jay z i mean even white people like jay z thats when you know you have made it when white people like you

  • @TexasHasPoo we all are.

  • Best commercial ever. In the matter of fact, only commercial I like.

  • Amazing commercial lol

  • this commercial is fuckin genius, and i don't even curse like that lol

  • The BP3 cover would have been hard to do lol

  • @CMakaveli91 haha they could've just panned to a laptop screen with the cover on it

  • i see u June ;-)

  • YOO GREAT!! that Was just GReat

  • named every album as it came up... haha shud have put it in order tho!

  • so he denies being in a secret society ....does anyone know where the symbol on the last album comes from....probably not

  • Man...no matter how many times I watch, this is still freakin awesome.

  • Whats the commercial that has the beat that goes like "DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH?" PLEASE ANWSER A.S.A.P PLEASE

  • Shouldn't "In my Lifetime" be number 2? I thought it was like 1997?

  • your right its his 2nd album but none of the albums were really in order except reasonable doubt

  • illuminati shit 

  • Damn really interesting concept. All artists should make a commercial like this. I remember all the covers. Not really the most interesting exciting album covers or cover model though :D

  • 1) Reasonable Doubt 2) Blue Print 1 3) Hard Knock Life vol 2 4) The Dynasty: Roc La Familia 5) the Black Album 6) Kingdom Come 7) Blueprint 2 8) Life and Times of S. Carter vol 3 9) In My LIfetime vol 1 10) American Gangster Have all 11 (+ BP3) love all 11 HOV!!!!!!!

    Now This Means That Jay-z Made this commercial for America & Canada Only.

    Now it's for me to watch this "Teasing"

  • This is quite possiby the COOLEST commercial ive ever seen

  • CAMEL

  • the first time i saw this commercial with my girlfriend, she named all the albums as they came on the screen. That's when i knew I found the girl of my dreams...

  • @nattylovesrichie09 man u right i wish  i had a girl like yours. for real

  • @nattylovesrichie09 lucky chap

  • @nattylovesrichie09 lucky !

  • @nattylovesrichie09 lol for real a true fan knows all the albums just by covers

  • @nattylovesrichie09

    your a lucky guy

  • @nattylovesrichie09 Seriously. It's not hard to learn to learn every Lady Gaga or Britney Spears album title, but that doesn't get you pussy.

  • @nattylovesrichie09 YO WOMAN GOT A DICK, SON.

  • @JNacho7 shut the fuck up you fag!

  • @nattylovesrichie09 damn..... u are indeed lucky

  • So cool.

  • That was pretty sick.

  • this commercial is crazy nice. =) love it, but please wake up.

  • He had every cover except the "Streets is Watching" cover.

  • @cleansilvia - More than enough of a good reason why I will never see it or read it. It just goes to show that when someone is successful in life, there will be people who will try to bring that someone down. No matter who it is. Heads can't take Jay-Z down with music so they pretty much are trying something else they believe will be effective. He's no devil worshipper, no member of the illuminati as well as a freemason. Just a regular man living his life. Heads really need to stop hating on him

  • @Monkefuct666 - Ignore it. Just people filling other people's mind with plain bullshit cause they are pure haters.

  • I wouldn't be surprised If Nas follows suit and tries to do this with all of his albums as well.

  • @blodachia That'd be hard fo him to de-age for Illmatic though...

  • @Efadutopo Yeah they would have to use Computer Animation or a little kid that looked like him at that age.

  • It's like he didn't age throughout none of his album covers.

  • Jay-Z Is The Greatest Rapper Of All-Time In My Opinion.

  • IM A HOMOSEXUAL!

  • There's No Doubt that this dude will Rest a Legend with 2pac and Biggie.. fuck who ever don't like him his number is up

  • Almost every one of these albums he's done are certified classics. My favorite has to be The Black Album.

  • this is sick

  • Love listening to this tune while making figures online..

  • damn all black ALL the damn time??

  • coolest commercial eber

  • How Do You Not Love Jay-Z Man!!!!??????

  • Jiggaman hasn't aged a day in 14 years. LOL!

  • I would love to have that hat Jay had on when he did the Reasonable Doubt cover at 0:01

  • Ewwww. sickest commercial ever.

  • dont see the big deal.... its kinda cool, but none of these are hard to recreate quickly

  • @KobraCola I'd love to see you do a better job

  • @Scathe8000 haha I love the classic ad hominem attack. Yes, because I criticize the way someone does their own job, that means I have the ability to do someone's else job better than they do it, right? Perfect logic. Flawless.

  • @KobraCola Well if you can't take criticism, then that's fine with me.

  • @Scathe8000 Ah, but you're missing the point. I'm fine with criticism of things that I ACTUALLY HAVE DONE. I had no part of this video. Therefore, you can't use this video to criticize me. An attempt to criticize my criticism is just pathetic. Instead of asking me if I could have done a better job, why not say why you thought this video was worthy of praise? By your ad hominem attack, I'm guessing this is your viewpoint on the video.

  • @KobraCola What the hell is wrong with you? Simmer down, you're the one with obvious fallacy issues. You clearly don't know shit about Psychology so I would advise that you stop acting like you do. Again all I offered was the idea of you outdoing the commercial since you believe that the scenes are easy to recreate. If you can't, then you have no legitimacy as far as technical criticism and experience are concerned. if you can't accept it, then don't expect me to continue with your games.

  • @Scathe8000 What? I have no mentioned psychology once, logical fallacies have nothing to do with psychology. (For the record, I haven't mentioned logical fallacies before either.) They ARE easy to recreate; whether or not I can recreate them personally has NOTHING to do with whether or not they're recreatable. Because you can't seem to grasp this concept, I offer an analogy: Just because a sportswriter says that a coach does a bad job does not mean that said writer presupposes he could (cont'd)

  • @Scathe8000 have done a superior job to the coach. Instead, he has taken the opportunity to criticize the coach. I have done something similar here. My criticism of the simplistic attitude which this commercial takes has nothing to do with whether or not I could have done a better job; any accusation along those lines is akin to an attack on my personal abilities, AKA an ad hominem attack. Just because I can't recreate something (I am not a commercial director) does not mean that I (cont'd)

  • @Scathe8000 cannot criticize it. That is a ridiculous assumption. I am playing no games whatsoever, just making logical arguments. If you would be so kind as to reply logically, then that would be fantastic.

  • @KobraCola wow chill out socrates

  • this ish is flyer than 57 passengers

  • I absolutely LOVE this commercial

  • damn he has some big ass lips

  • 3 STRIPEZZ A BLUD.....ROCKA JAY Z OSSS

  • Any Jay-Z fan would respect this commercial

  • tht was 1 of tha dopest commercials evr

  • That was tight...I don't care who says what, I've been big about hip-hop since I first heard it in '79-80 (real hip-hop that is) and Jay-Z is hotter than anyone out right now....at first he was hittin it big with that Mafioso rap but he got on top of the game and he's still there......
