Jay-Z Street is Watching

[zbomber35]

@Th3ShakeMaster They're both the kings of New York. Nas' lyrics are definitely deeper, but you can't say Jay's flow isn't great, and his achievements aren't immensely respectable. I love them both though.

[whiskymarko]

old jay is da true jay

[Th3ShakeMaster]

Anybody who thinks Jay is better than Nas, is just too fucking stupid to understand what Nas is saying.

[Jackaroo10111]

The main difference between nas and jay z is that nas albums are still dope jay z has sucked for the majority of the last decade

[YoUnGSpaCeLY92]

@Jackaroo10111 LOL U Obviously only listened to the singles...

[KingGoose24]

@YoUnGSpaCeLY92 this sucks a jews ass

[thamaineone]

@Jackaroo10111 Thats your opinion. In my opinion all Nas albums has sucked this decade and last decade. Street disciple, stillmatic, etc all hot garbage. Jay Z> Nas. Even Jay z worst album sound better than anything from corny ass nas

[Arsinekk]

lol jay what happened when you ran into Prodigy at Justins. I heard you didnt want no beef.

[BOBByBISHIP]

@Arsinekk dont believe the hype 

[Arsinekk]

@BOBByBISHIP So did Jayz do something? I know thats what Prodigy said went down. And it is true Jayz was no where to be found when that east west stuff was poppin.

[BOBByBISHIP]

@Arsinekk nah he didnt do anything because he used them as a steppin stone, he respected their flow so much that he called them out they didnt capitalized on it like he did so he went on to be top paid and they went to jail. whos the real hustler/gangster not even Nas could capitalize on the beef so he lost

[Arsinekk]

@BOBByBISHIP Backing down after you talk shit isnt gangster. Prodigy had the drop on him and Jayz said there was no beef, end of story. If you talk shit then when the person is infront of you you back down youre a sucker. Nas is a sucker, how many Queens MCs have said Nas is a funny acting dude. One second Nas is against Jayz then he wants to do records with him, Nas has done that over and over with different people.

[BOBByBISHIP]

@Arsinekk man its just music, money and fame, aint no real beef. non of those cats want it with Jay. He has to much money to much fame to much fun and to much bitches. as a matter of fact even his Bitch is stronger the prodigy. u thank Jay wanna be shooting up Puffy spot because prodigy got his feelings hurt them niggas know Jay can shut their shit down in their hood toss their mans 50 racks and two concert tickrts. stop acting as if Jay dont have shooters on payroll. Jay is the rap king

[MarkParham]

@Arsinekk what good would it do for jay-z to go to prison over a beef with prodigy - prodigy is a legend but why would jay-z want to move backwards in his career - prodigy will never make the forbes list

[Arsinekk]

@MarkParham Then he needs to stop acting like hes a gangster.

[Bankallday]

@Arsinekk How is he "acting like he's a gangster"....I'll wait while you elaborate

[jl2694]

@Bankallday he always acted like a boss loser...

[Bankallday]

@jl2694 Jay is a fucking boss you simple ass nigga....Have you ever heard of Roc-a-Fella, Def jam and now Roc Nation?

I was responding to a dude that said Jay was "acting like a gangster" which he isn't

[jl2694]

@Bankallday oh aight my mistake my nigga... i aint know you were responding to some one else..

[knice310]

yo, we need that old jay back. tell those storiess, my nigga

[knice310]

nasty, crazy, unbelievable

[J87609]

Dope song

[BornFuture]

He blacked out on the last verse...

[bugzwifey3]

@BornFuture he blacked out on the whole song. like he really went in.

[johnny029]

Watch Main Video! @ My main video channel!

[TheLeBronJames6Fan]

I wish Jay Z went back to telling stories of his life in the hood again =(

[MrCommenterguy]

@TheLeBronJames6Fan But he aint in the hood anymore...

[honzanoel]

lol, don't think people understand, that last verse is so informative and descriptive, word play etc- 2 mins with no hook and no lyrics written down? Aside from if he did sell crack or not, that's some seriously brilliant piece of story telling period.

[sjballa11]

classic!

[XavierXDN72892]

if i shoot you im brainless, if you shoot me you famous, whats a nigga to do?

JAY Z was at his best in 97 98 99 2000

[SwaggaLeo]

vol. 1 is one of the most underrated albums in hip hop history...just gotta listen to that mufukka. Vol. 2 and 3, also. Id even say the Dynasty...and of course reasonable doubt...dude beasted for a longggg time before he hit with Blueprint...everything else was just trying to recapture it...

[stillmatic88]

@SwaggaLeo But yo, the Black Album was a classic too though!

[Makemethatguy]

Jay changed for the better. It would be stupid for him to still rhyme like this when everyone knows he doesn't do this shit anymore. If you want his old stuff. Buy his old albums.

[Ultralightaman]

it's hard not to kill niggas

It's like a full time job not to kill niggas, can't chill

The streets is watching

[TheWarrior2Game7]

This shit ain't hot, it's scorching.

[bigkev6572]

4 people watching but ain't doing shit

[themop11]

The streets is watching looking for loot, I grab the grape and OJ the juice. Dropping rhymes to avoid dropping dimes and money causes answers where peace replaces thrillers. The streets is watching it don't matter if it's 5th or Compton just remember when the clowns come around. The sound when you clear the store of the Lexus is hectic or NBA basiketball teams it doesn't matter what shelf just remember to keep the mouth shut for health. The streets is watching so I fly.

[drewgilchrist]

THat nigga Jay ise to be way better than he is now... WOW the shit is like his flow was ahead of his time always.. idk why he talk about progression. his flow was untouchable

[MNAYMEN]

lol @ Amino2 , Vol 1 better than Blueprint!

[MrCommenterguy]

so ya gotta keep it rilla

[ChefBoyArrDee]

[darnell2474]

This is the shit!!!! But everybody grow up you should'nt b talkin bout the same thing at 40 that u talked about in your 20's.

[SSlimTim]

@darnell2474 then you should just stop talking

[darnell2474]

@SSlimTim wow another youtube thug lol

[SSlimTim]

@darnell2474 no no lol I was replying to what you said about "you shouldn't be talking bout the same thing at 40... " I mean, if Jay's lyrical content has to change because of his age, he should stop rapping.

[MatchakaProblematik]

@darnell2474 but... lol

[3WadeD3]

this shits classic... the beats so fresh and the lyrics are raw. although i really like what jay does these days i wanna see him mix in some of this old school mentality again.

[MsJahnika]

i agree late 90s he was at his best

[Staromania5880]

is that joel ortiz at 1:16?

[REALHIPHOPALLDAY]

@Staromania5880 its Irv gotti homie

[daps84]

[CottageLife100]

Dame is the worse character in the rap game plain and simple, dude is ridiculously corny.

[Gunshinzero]

@CottageLife100 he from harlem dude. Dame is a beast though. If it's about business I would take him on my side anyday.

[gman1259]

if jay was still raping like this the fans today  wouldnt understand what jay is saying and whould end up call jay lame Jigga is only for the 90's the world of today in rap is not ready for 90's flow jay

[gangstadriver69]

@gman1259 yeah agree...too bad though

[cityterrace7]

Jay's music hasn't been tha same since he came back 4rm "retirement"...last album that I think was dope 4rm him was American gangster (2007) but Kingdom come and BP3 suck...I thought he was going 2 kill tha game again if he came back since that song "Dear Summer" was dope...

[thehumanshin]

That fool only wears a size 10?? lol, little baby feet

[evilchef100]

[dat3rdsideboy386]

damn my nigga changed alot

[conspiracyjoe1]

check out the TALMAUD TORAH EXPOSED ON YOUTUBE

[Yessir516]

Rappers these days are saying metaphors So!!!!, everyone's impressed because some are from the south. Dictionaries, Encyclopedias and books don't have a region You tell me person would not spit their best especially when all you got to do is go to the library like 5-8 hours a day out of 24 hours and find personafication, metaphors, similarities etc. What ever you put ya mind to and try your best, it will happen for example Obama.

[No0barz]

hush puppies?

[6irondriver]

Size 10? hmmm, not what I expected from a big time rapper. Imma white boy and wear 11.5 lol.. Not hatin' tho-I likes me some Jay Z.

[bigheaded1]

funny how jay stopped putting out classics after i'd say vol. 2 or 3. the blueprints were alright but the best albums i think are reasonable doubt and vol. 1

[guerrero6381]

definitely agree with you

[ForOweOne]

@bigheaded1 u aint feelin on to the next...c'mon now

[bigheaded1]

@ForOweOne nah not really man. dunno why i just ain't feelin any of his new shit. last song i heard that had me goin was blue magic

[murph277v]

@ForOweOne on to d next is shit compared to this track

[CaveKanem]

@ForOweOne....Guess U Never Watched That Video Huh, Dumb Ass Nigga? Ahaha

[ForOweOne]

@CaveKanem i heard the song first online and it was bananas then, it is now....ur lettin someone/thing else that doesn't matter determine what is good music....smh

[TGUNZ562]

@bigheaded1 Absolute nonsense. The Black Album was his best album lyrically.

[bigheaded1]

@TGUNZ562 smh ok pimpin

[TGUNZ562]

@bigheaded1 I'm not a pimp...

[whatthehellvideos]

@bigheaded1 his best albums are all the vol reasonable doubt blueprint 1 black album and blueprint 3 

[1234hemen]

@bigheaded1 nah volum 2 was the best, he had better rhymes and flow. 

[bigheaded1]

@1234hemen ya but it was prolly one of his most commercial too. i wasn't feelin vol 2. but to each his own.

[Gunshinzero]

@bigheaded1 he had to edit it for the climate of the rap game. he was dumbing it down back then too though. even now he spit better than most out

[estalling]

@bigheaded1 Wrong! Black Album.

[getrapedpmfl69]

@bigheaded1 blueprint is beast if you listen lyrically... and american gangster is way more lyrical than reasonable doubt, your judging on the beats not thwe lyrics

[bigheaded1]

@getrapedpmfl69 nah it has nothin to do with beats man. american gangster is bubblegum rap and the only song that you could even call lyrical on that album is blue magic. any fool that listens to jay knows that reasonable doubt will always be his best...he was hungry then... anyway you look at it you can't deny that his best work was his first few records. i didn't say the blueprints weren't bad but you can't say that bp3 was a classic cuz that shit was horrible and you know it stop lying

[getrapedpmfl69]

@bigheaded1 bp3 sucked, blue print 1 and 2 were aight, but american gangsta he made for his self and his true fans, its not that he aint lyrical its that you cant understand it

[bigheaded1]

@getrapedpmfl69 i don't think you understand.... didn't say american gangster was bad and honestly its the best album he's put out since coming back out of retirement but from the beats to lyrics to overall tracklist you can't beat the first two albums he put out. i don't think you understand reasonable doubt and if you can't figure out why it's his best album then you don't understand hip hop period. you're obviously young because anybody that's a true jay fan wouldnt choose AG over RD smh....

[getrapedpmfl69]

@bigheaded1 okay first of all reasonable doubt is the best and i will never take that back... , second of all the black album is not at all far behind, thrid of all, your the one who said he stopped putting out classics, then your obviously not listening to the words because the lyrics on the black album shit on anyone iv ever heard, before you respond to this go liosten to what more can i say. it is a different sound, you like that classic sound of reasonable doubt, ya so do i, but lyrics...

[bigheaded1]

@getrapedpmfl69 refer to my last comment cuz you're just repeating yourself... he doesn't put out classics anymore. maybe lyrics are on point here and there but he isn't built like he used to be plain and simple

[ElOnlyMan]

@bigheaded1 American Gangsta was amazing!!

[bigheaded1]

@ElOnlyMan not too bad compared to bp3 or kingdome come but not even close to reasonable doubt in my opinion

[ElOnlyMan]

@bigheaded1 They Was Hot Too, Just Blueprint 3 Was More For The Popular People

[ahmad312]

@bigheaded1 the only reason the guy stopped putting out "classics" is cause his lifestyle changed. You really think a guy like this could just out of nowhere stop knowing how to rap? Hell no, it's just if he kept rapping about being a gangster who made it, then he'd be lying straight up. He's entirely legit and fucks Beyonce. All of you stop hating on Jay.

[SwaggaLeo]

@bigheaded1 id say all of his albums before blueprint and nothing after its Hova Da God

[1phreshprince1]

@bigheaded1 blueprints were like but i really liked black album and dynasty lol

[re707]

LOL at 0:24 man Jay z's the dopest rapper ever

[fatpatlives1998]

nas

[DA7odKAI]

lets play fair and we can stay here i'm trynna transform these boys to man like daycare, beast mode jay right there

[brownsugar976]

I was thinking, when he says one line can fuck up the game?? I always felt he meant, one line (vs) can fuck up the hiphop game.. but lately Im thinking he ALSO could of meant ONE LINE(AS IN COKE) CAN FUCK UP THE GAME... JAY Z USE ALOT OF double entendre in HIS MUSIC..

[Topshotta187]

Never looked at it like that... good one.

[LaReyAfro]

jigga at his finest

[jr70127]

[Yessir516]

@Amino2 So Just listen to all his albums and carry a dictionary and you will see no difference.

[YunGStunn]

@Amino2 Co-sign that

[badLuckrapp]

@Amino2 i wish i was fuckin that broad in the advertisement

[boyler1892]

@Amino2 he has to grow up cant stay like that forever

[T82486]

@boyler1892

Right, this a mafiaso rap from a street soliders. Now his rap is like a boss. Kinda of like the difference between, "Goodfellas" and "The Godfather". Same story, but told from different ranks in the mafia. Same with Jay.....and he's still the best. No matter what he makes....

[boyler1892]

@T82486 Yeah exactly couldn't have said it better myself ha

[Mack11gunz]

@T82486 Yea this song is classic and those movies are in my dvd collections. You jus cant go wron with deniro pacino and pesci all legends

[kidwon92]

@Amino2

"Niggas want my shit, buy my old albums" - Jay-Z

[TheSchola3000]

@Amino2 too bad like he said on blueprint 3 on the first track "what we talking about" - they want me to bring the old shit back im doing better then before why would i do that" lol

[kaye10]

@Amino2

WHy? So he can never evolve like mobb deep? Nas? Rakim? (and all those are my faves)...Hov went thru the 90s and is still relevant today...everyone knows there will never be another Jay-Z...name is unique and catchy and his delivery, swag and lyricsm is unmatched..12 #1 albums..geez...and I know you still listening to his shit..lol..liek Hov says, "what the fuuuuuhh".

[darkhaine]
