[SacredSocietyAP]

Pray for me!

[HyPh0p1O1]

"This I why I be so fresh, I'm trying to beat life 'cause I can't cheat death"

[LyrikalDBeck]

The people who don't listen are the ones who claim to dislike...

[Perzess]

/watch?v=7Od-6xkh5vE this is sickest remix !

[nando1981100]

this shit is sick......love it

[musicjunkee100]

how can you not like it?

[pbrown711]

beat is just crazy!!!!! sick production!!!!!

[Marketing614]

3:10 "Move coke like pepsi, dont matter what the brand name is"

[duptygupty]

check out wrong prayer if you like this, its this verse on a radiohead song

[duptygupty]

turned crack rocks into a chain of 40-40s...damn

[AntionneJ]

Has anybody come close to making something more sophisticated as this in years? When that man/woman comes close, let me know. Years later and he's still shitting on the game.

[lilmoris1]

Damn, Nice... like i've said FUCK WEEZY,FUCK DRAKE AND FUCK NICKI, AND YOUNG MONEY... AND ALL THE CLOWNS who call them selves "rappers".... THIS IS RAP and Jay is one of the Best...

[jayzzzzzz82]

@lilmoris1 couldn't agree more eminem and jay z 4life

[ReBooooo]

this album is seek

[msk8ergurl11]

B made it even better

[shadowmixx]

Jay Z and his baby B. clowned on this joint. Probably the hottest track on the CD.

[Jeter21881]

LOL I agreed with you bro..

[Jeter21881]

"Fast-forward freeze frame on my pistol, fist full of dollas ignorance is so blissful"

Ahhhhhhh PLEASE!!!

[wazzie3]

Amennnn!!!

[frankebayb]

THESE LYRICS ARE FN AMAZING! he is really the G.O.A.T to me

[Jeter21881]

@frankebayb BY A MILE. This song please no Weezy song even comes CLOSE to this. Weezy never even told one story.  What a sucka lol

[frankebayb]

@Jeter21881 like i said Jay is the greatest to me, but he has to at least be in the top 3 of greatest rappers, if you say he doesnt your the sucka

[eholes7]

@Jeter21881 are you kidding??? weezys songs all have stories.... theyre just poorly told and are always about money bitches and weed...

[Thizzpwnt]

@WelcomeToThe92503 Do you have a link by any chance? I'd love to hear this.

[CONNETIC1]

HOV!

[dmpreston1000]

NO ONE CAN TOCH HIM.........

[thamieable]

Thumbs up

[WelcomeToThe92503]

the ''mash up'' version over Premo's "Sing Like Bilal'' makes the original version sound petty.

Sonically speaking, it'd of been a much more stellar song.

[TrierMuzic]

has anybody got the instrumental to this???

[FriskeeDj]

Hey young world, wanna hear a story?

Close your eyes and you can pretend you're me

[knotbfc1]

Pray for me

[bossrossization]

gotta check out the russian produced version. this is still better but that one is awesome as well...

[Bankallday]

@bossrossization Hell yeah. Finally I see someone who knows about the Russian Gangster version of this album. The instrumentals on it are impeccable and compliment Jay's verses perfectly.

Everyone of yall should check out the Russian Gangster mixtape. It's American Gangster with these Russian producers on the instrumentals. It's disgusting

[TheFPSsoviet]

Yall muffuggas be trippin on my icecream dotz

[franckdodge]

5 people need Jesus

[Nateboyee]

I don't get why people say Jay Z worships the devil.

[Airbornebull]

@Nateboyee because they can't fathom how a man can be so successful and stick around so long..a black man at that.

[dhankins627]

"You know who's game this is, move Coke like Pepsi don't matter what the brand name is." Love that line

[LoveOtherDisasters]

Fucking nice way to start off this album (if you disregard the intro track)

[BruceBanner2010]

"This is the Genesis of a Nemesis."

classic

[masterfuljak]

This is my personal favourite song from the album. And IMO this is the closest he's ever gotten to making an album equal to or better than Reasonable Doubt

[NelsonMyles]

He Once Said Don't An Album if You Don't Have Something to say, so I've heard indirectly , but His Thought Process is Cool on this album.

[e412n]

"What came first? Moving chickens or the egg?"

COME ON NOW. Game over.

[cloverfield00]

HOT TRACK,FI YAH!

[cobyflips]

my football theme song when i was a junior now graduating in a month, wow lots of memories. it was crazy the instrumental to this played as we came out.

[DJJTeague]

I didn't choose this life, it chose me....

[cjzuhlke8988]

GOAT..the end

[kylebreitkreutz]

mommas momma

[Shawn901000]
