  • everything go hard to you smh thats some stupid shit to post this shit goes hard no wonder hip hop is in a fucked up state because of retarded ass fans like that

  • Why is it so got damn'd hard to find "Don't You Know - Unplugged"...Did Nas pay Jay to have that shit removed from earth??..

  • Fuck what anybody says Jayz Is A true Hip Hop Legend

  • sure be nice to have a download link =)

  • Jay-Z SAVED my LIFE !!! Which is why he's the GREATEST in my opinion.

  • "Please, what have you: I BREEZED through Matthews/bleed if I have to: you cowards die a THOUSAND DEATHS...!"

    When I first heard this shit here: I had to stop the song about eight times, just to allow my gigabytes in my head time to process the DOPENESS, being spit...

  • @joeeregulah "could you imagine not having one fear in the world im cool in the after life if am reading these chapters right." i swear to god i was just contemplating that line today and i heard this shit years ago.

  • @djataras I see that there's another lover of GREAT lyrics, in my midst...RESPECT, fam bam!!

    How DOPE is this whole thing, for real???

    Folks will ponder this, when Hip-Hop is like Jazz...dude went IN, and: it was never even released...unfortunately -_-...!!

  • My favorite Jay-Z track of all time

  • prodigys version is way betta..

  • Comment removed

  • Motivation for real JAY Z at his best.... Favorite j track

  • you niggas making me google what "goat" means .......

  • @1Demoris And just think this was only a Freestyle. This was the sickest flow Jay EVER laid down. I am a big Jay-Z fan but out of all the body of work he has done, I can pull this one as his VERY BEST in my opinion. All though Blue Magic is a close second. But like I said that is just my opinion.

  • @wilnout6453 nigga the reasonable doubt album is by far the best shit jay ever came out with. he was battling nas at this time. this is the type of shit we need to hear more often.

  • @lubui2583 he battled nas during the blueprint CD homie. Like I said it is my opinion. I think reasonable doubt was his best CD and yes we need that type of hip hop now. But the flow on this is unlike any other he did. Every rapper knows there is a difference between a flow and an album. JUST MY OPINION.

  • or we can play this on all madden.....wooooooooooow only jay can come up with something like this

  • i hear da people talk....hot shit.....jay at his best......

  • PEOPLE TALKING -JAYZ

    LONG KISS GOOD NIGHT- BIGGIE

    EAT EM UP L -LL COOL JAY REAL SERIOUS BATTLE RAPS!!!!!!! I WOULD HAVE INCLUDED NAS'S- ETHER

    ICE CUBES- NO VASELINE AND NWA'S MESSAGE TO B.A. But those are more on the humorous side

  • shyt that makes your soul burn slow......."life is good"

  • jigga's a savage. arguably the best that ever did it....

  • One of my ALL TIME favorites... I wish he did an extended VERSION....

    

  • If u dnt smoke light a incent or sumpthin fuck it lol truly the best rapper alive unlike any other hasnt let tha drugs or bullshit fuck up a single rhyme or flow , dudes rare kinda rapper a tru MC

  • @papamojoes818 That's real....

  • NVM I GOOGLED IT ITS PRODUCED BY SKI BEATS

    WHO ALSO PRODUCED DEAD PRESIDENTS HES ALSO ONE OF THE GOATS OF HIP HOP

  • WHO PRODUCED THIS?>!>??!?!?D

  • This ish is dope....period....im not sure why cats always wanna bring somebody else name when hov spit like this..

  • @jurismydiction The only name i'll bring in when HOva is on the mic Is Biggy and BIG L. and those are compliments

  • jay is one of the most talented musician but to keep his career advancing in the music business you have to go along with these undergound freemason illuminati secret societys to get mass control for there agenda N.W.O

  • @spliffgame - I couldn't have said it any better and yet it's after the fact that he's continuously explains himself in songs like this and ppl still be talking...

  • Classic... 

  • he doesn't make them like this anymore.

  • haha this is nasty

  • Im cool in my afterlife if im readin these chapters right. please what have you i breeze thru Matthews. DOPE

  • can you even fathom not having a fear in the world , im cool in my afterlife if im reading these chapters right-

    jay-z is the greatest rapper ever bar none

  • this freestyle is sick

  • SKI BEATZ IS FUCKIN NASTY FOR MAKIN THIS BEAT.

  • "pull hammers from the waste we could clap at this amateur pace if that's what's crackin or we could play this on all madden"

  • remember when I 1st heard this I was like WHHHAAAAATTTTTTTTT

  • @sschi you and me both... i haven't heard this in at least 6 years... it just popped into my head 2 minutes ago... i wish he would've parlayed this into an entire song...

  • HOOOOOVA HOOOOOVA HOOOOOOVA!!!! G O A T

  • Featherweight fuckers don't ever hate on the brothers damn roc-afella was the team

  • #YOU COWARDS DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS!

    #THROW IN THE TOWEL?-I M BETTER WITH VOWELS!

    # I SEE RIGHT THRU YA JUDAS! - I PEEPED YOU CREEPS 3 MONTHS IN ADVANCE .....

    #Im COOL IN MY AFTERLIFE IF IM READING THESE CHAPTERS RIGHT!

    #ARE YOU EVEN GETTING THESE MESSAGES IM NOT BEING AGRESSIVE

  • SKI FUGGIN BEATZ!!!!

  • this song was an answer to nas's song "your the man" if you put this song against that one, Take over against Nas's " H to the Omo" Nas only won one round. Ether against "Super Ugly"

  • @jrichb430 ether was all he needed. he cant battle with nas on that lyrical level. but he has put out more then enough classics for us. hes definately one of the best to do it.

  • @jrichb430 That's not how it worked. H to Omo was in response to the Summer Jam thing. Ether was in response to Takeover, Supa Ugly came. After that Last Real Nigga Alive was a response to Blueprint 2.

  • Jay-Z Is Hip-Hops True GOAT.

  • @SuperJayZFan1

    that's biggie

  • @PRtoRP I Can Respect Your Choice But I Still Think Jay-Z Is The GOAT.

  • @SuperJayZFan1

    Same to you. Although he isn't as good as he was.

  • @SuperJayZFan1 aint no best homie. different styles, free styles, flow, lyrically...etc. hes one of the best to do it.

  • @SuperJayZFan1 no eminem

  • Is that Questlove playing the drums in the pic? Know that fro anywhere! haha

  • yeah this is classic jay its like he says things w/o saying them u gotta rewind n research wth he said ...if ur not intelligent u wont get it therefore u wont like it..thats y ppl hate on jay so much

  • @KMeezy100

    So if your so intelligent lay out what he meant by the lines. I have yet to see someone do it.

  • This makes me wanna sit back and black out with JZ... *closes eyes and bops head*

  • Wow I can't believe i never heard this before...shit is disgusting.....in a good way

  • Ski dropped an amazing beat.

  • Alot of you guys are mad simple. Just because someone doesnt beleive in a Christian or Muslim god, doesnt mean he doesnt beleive in a god.

    And even if he didnt, his music is still dope so who cares what his views on life are. Let the man live.

  • THE BEST JAY-Z SONG OF ALL TIME!!! HANDS DOWN....

  • vintage jay

  • Damn this man is the best that ever did it.

    "Can you even fathom not havin a fear in the world, i'm cool in my after life if i'm readin these chapters right" Damn

  • @reihung69

    Whats so good about that line?

  • skibeatz did this.............

  • Madden! Who wants what!? lol

  • this shitt is the best yaaaaa boyzzzz FACT farrah allanna carter ttrienacty

  • jay said i dont have to sell another record in my life....wow.

    i will be the first to say that Jay is my all time favorite. but i will never ever buy or financially support him again until our economy gets everyone able to really live with standard means..i'm talking about getting all the homeless folk somewhere to live and call there own and things of the sort...F supporting Willow Smith too!

  • check ali vegas- people talk

  • Jay Z + Ski Beatz = Amazing !! every song the did together is a classic

  • @nikkidoom200 they did

  • sickkkkk damn bst rapper alive

  • I got guns too!

  • Calling All HIP HOP & R&B ARTIST!!!!! Need beats??

    Take a listen and lease my beats at Soundclick . com / whyesproductions

    whYes Productions_ IF YOU DON'T GRIND, YOU DON'T SHINE!

  • 1 of my fav Jay joints ever .

  • @tyetye44 yeah it's call deism

  • Woooowwww I've been searching for this for YEARS, I heard it only ONCE on the radio. NIIIICE!

  • Jigga killin this shit. Jay-Z sometimes gets on my nerves,, but his best songs is what makes him a legend. Plus the flow is hotttttt. It's cuz he don't write shit,, he has a huge advantage.  Freestyling automatically has better flow that written.

  • thank you i've been looking for this since 04 peace...

  • hot, hard, track,....ether's better though

  • jay-z's word play is crazy...and hes the most successful rapper

  • the shit never heard it

  • Dis beat is fuckin crazy......i need 2 use dis jawn....

  • Damn..vintange jay right here. Played this for my nigggaz and they slept on it, DAMN shame niggas need to wake up.

  • The problem is, most people aren't educated enough to understand what Jay's talking about half the time. Half you dumb fucks wanna hear about hoes and cars n shit while Jay is spitting about real shit. Thats what makes hip-hop. Jay's lyrics, especially his metaphors and meanings within the songs go over a lot of people's heads. I'm lucky enough to understand a lot of what he means, thats why Jay-Z is my favorite rapper.

  • @spliffgame - preach my friend. Its da roc!!!

  • @spliffgame i love you.

  • @spliffgame i try to tell people the same thing all the time i feel u man

  • @spliffgame truer words have neva been spoken

  • @spliffgame Fuck outta here, most mainstream rappers talk about hoes and cars so fall back!!

  • @spliffgame Real talk homie. These fuckers need to step their comprehension game up. That's why alot of them hate on Jay. They fear or dislike what they don't understand.

  • @olympicway Xenophobia.....common

  • @spliffgame Yeah I would never proclaim to be any master historian of hip hop, but no one is even in this guys league. He really is the MJ or rhyming no one is really worth even mentioning in the same sentence. People just plain don't get it....whenever he gets in his metaphorical, double-entendre mode shit just starts flying over the average persons head.

  • @spliffgame yep, years later i catch a few things i missed previously-that's crazy. the ability to make it sound so easy, but be very complex at the same time.

  • @spliffgame

    I totally agree with you, back in the day when Mc's really ciphered such as Jay, the whole thing was following the rhyme and not the beat, it was only complimentary to the word layed down in rap form. Oh geez I'm probably already over half these cats heads, I hate to say this but we might have to open up a new lane for all this bullshit that these idiots are listening too.

    HA HA

    PEACE

  • @spliffgame this sounded like a middle school essay "and thats why jay z is MYYYY favvvoorrite rapper"

  • @spliffgame well damn do u wanna go nd have coffee wit the nigga too

  • @MrUseher lmao

  • @spliffgame My Brotha... you speak the truth... I CONCUR

  • @spliffgame Thanks for that comment. I feel the same way. People listen to bullshit nowadays and call it hip hop and its losing all of its intelligence. Thanks!

  • ya thats wak when djs yell over the music

  • this is recycled lyrics from "the message" feat. dr. dre.. go listen lol..... same flow...your getting to big for your britches..... you got a few little bitches... u thinking you hell but you just ridiculous....

    ~I'm not saying that I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world -2pac

  • @moochis124 damn its a recyled flow huh? you named one bar and he only used one line that was the same n thats "your getting to big for your britches" then after that he switched it up completely.... shut the fu*k up

  • @moochis124 So you're saying Jigga wrote The Message??.... I thought Royce da 5'9'' wrote that?? I heard that's how Royce startin' beefin' with Em and Dre, because Dre didn't give Royce credit or some shit. Maybe Jigga wrote a verse and Royce wrote a verse or somethin'.... PS - "Breathing's a prevlige"  sickkkk line

  • Comment removed

  • this is aimed at Nas

  • back in tha mix of tha scuffle since 86 i been sick wit tha hustle

  • This was his respond to ether, but he refused to let it drop, real talk....after ether dropped, he let this leak n many didn't hear this record, clue n k slay played it but the public already said nas got the battle!!! The super ugly freestyle was deemed too far...who knew huh? lol...JAY is the greatest!

  • @carteryng28 - "Left condoms on ya baby seat!" LMAO!

  • @comedicstuff - You know its serious when ya moms tell you that you went too far smh.....nas n jay moms pretty much had the beef squashed, they didn't want to see it go the route of Big n Pac.....truth be told Jay still got it on lock, look who shadow nas standin in now....n i still give nas his props tho!

  • He said that he made the beat in his Ableton video here in youtube.

    "Ski Beatz - Unique techniques with Ableton Live"

  • Ski Beatz did this beat. He said it himself. It's Not Kanyes beat :)

  • @MrNat4Real just blaze

    

  • LMAO @ "doesn't have Kay Slay talking over it." 

  • who sings that part in the beginning

  • @SuperJayZFan - my friend, u r a good crittic. Jay is da best of all time.

  • they used to play this alot on hot97 during 2002~03'....

  • Wow Oh my f'ing lord lol..........i cannot stand when ppl say stuff like "pieguy264" said "jay used a more simple flow" referring to his second album being "forgettable". Dude get it right...Vol. 1 in my lifetime you got "streets is watchin" which is sick; imaginary player; sunshine; friend or foe 2.......Hard knock life vol 2.........enough said (nigga what nigga who; money cash hoes; can i get a; a week ago; its alright).....nigga what nigga who had a flow too quick for nas to keep up with

  • any other drummer see questlove in the back of that record cover

  • unplugged bonas track.. 2 dope

  • jay-z... the king of word play

  • when it 1st start off his voice sound like the devil Lol but JaY Z the Man

  • kanye made the beat

  • young'un pull your pants up

    True hove. These kids running around with under wear sticking out is gay. Real homo shit.

  • love you jay always bk

  • Ski beatzzzz

  • this whole song was for nas

  • definately

  • "back in the mix of scuffle....since '86 ive been sik wit the hustle....get a couple of chics to touch ya..." tht was for nas

  • Word!!!!!!!!!!!

  • jay went hard on this one. still one of my favs

  • @Dashrz Tru indeed Jay murdered this beat and would knock any one of they block with this flow.

  • "this is a gift from God", oh wait i thought i didnt believe in God...lol ppl are such hypocrits

  • who made the beat?

  • Ski.

  • @BF33210 kanye

  • @BF33210 Always thought it was Kanye or Just Blaze....you sure Ski did this?

  • @MrNat4Real i think j.Blaze

  • @MrNat4Real - I forgot who made the beat, but I WROTE this shit!!

  • @MrNat4Real kanye

  • @MrNat4Real - Kanye made this beat.

  • @MrNat4Real KANYE WEST

  • Jay didnt come up with that dude, I know he's your favorite but everything doesnt revolve around him.

  • Kool G Rap, AZ, and Raekwon used that hustla persona & emotion before Jay did!!

  • Jays flow was at his best in his Reasonable Doubt era. Nas continued to build on his flow while Jay uses a more simple flow. Just because Jay-z put out an album every year doesnt make them good. His 2nd album was forgettable, Volume 2 and 3 are solid albums. The Dynasty is dope, Blueprint is classic, Blueprint 2 is wack, Black album is classic. Kingdom Come was ight American Gangster was good, BP3 was ight. Jay only has 3 classic albums out of 11!

  • @pieguy264 I tend to disagree with the flow statement because I would cite from 01-05 as his best years. Also, classic is such a subjective term, there isn't really a "right" answer for any artist you can think of.

  • I think most hip hop fans can agree which albums are classic tho. His Blueprint era was great but after 2003 Jay lyrically is just decent.

  • @BF33210

    I think you should filter comments that have nothing to do with the video.

  • I thought about that, but at the same time if someone makes an interesting point, it can get the ball rolling and lead to a fruitful discussion. As long as people don't get disrespectful or say something useless, I'll let it slide.

  • Yea theres nothing wrong with a little debating now and then. Im actually suprised rappers still tryna get at Jay. They should have done that while he was actually competing in his prime.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Lol yea ur rite!

  • @pieguy264 bp2 was not wack i take that over black album anyday....and so what he has 3 classic joints out of 11. first of all,thats an opinion.2nd, mj had like 14 nba seasons and not all were classic seasons even the greats fall short homie.

  • @YoungMalcomX1 Black album is way betta than BP2, theres so much filler on Bp2!! Jay is nice but he aint the MJ of rap!

  • @pieguy264 - I can divide! That's a "one hot album every 4 year average!"

  • @comedicstuff Lol.

  • @pieguy264

    and who has more than that?

    I think BP3 will go down as classic...to many good songs on there.

  • @jrman80 BP3 will go down as a classic when hell freezes over!!

  • @pieguy264 personally i think bp3 was also a classic, i loved his wordplay on that album and i love the beats he chose to use

  • @TupacNasbigem Nowhere near classic, its average at best!!

  • @pieguy264 You have your opinion and i have mine, but i doubt most people would agree with u, that was a great album
