[AbsoluteWill2027]

[MrProducercelo]

It's hard to argue that D'evils isn't number one I do know its to lyrical for these younger Jay fans... if you know Jay from Reasonable Doubt to Watch the Throne thumbs up

[Bobcheloo]

and what happened to brooklyn' finest and 99 problems?

[Bobcheloo]

[MrProducercelo]

@Bobcheloo my shit is butter for the bread they wanna toast me!! WHAT! SICK

[XxITZlilchrisXx]

Dead Presidents II should be his #1 all time period !

[rullah28]

[RealRecognizeRealTV]

Where is "Come ANd Get Me"

[TAVS6330]

wheres 99 problems

[Ace88bez]

Jay z is the only rapper which you can listen to all of his 150 plus songs straight and not get bored. He has to many good and meaningful songs to make a TOP 10 list . it should be Top 150

[olzzen12]

all of this music sucks jz sucks why am i here?

[Ace88bez]

@olzzen12 lol you don't understand struggle hommie

[itsnotlearning]

illuminatic> jay zs top 10 songs lol

[twotimes87]

A Good tribute to jay but it should have had a wider body of work what about "GIRLS GIRLS" and dude "the take over" should be in there some where "excuse me miss" and "brush the dirt of your shoulders" and "DOA" it should show his legend and not mostly his begining We need to remind people why he stil sits high and looks low at the rap/hip hop game

[scyanks7]

I agree with every song except song cry should be on

[EpikTiger]

illmatic> jay zs top 10 songs lol

[hitmanshadow]

Hell yeah Jay Z's It's like that is fucking dope!!

"song cry" shoulda been there for sure... and "renegade" and "kingdome come" as well but its hard to say cuz with big artists like this everyone has their own opinion on the biggest hits theres more than one right answer so i guess ur choices are still cool.

[alBandit91]

D'EVILS rullez !! thiz is best of hova

[kidnapperzzzz]

Jay z is a beast, it's such a shame dumb fucks don't listen to him just because he's "mainstream". Believe it or not, but it's possible to be popular and talented at the same time.

Nice list though

[Strapnigga]

haha i knew it was a fake, he didnt even make 10 good songs lol

[poopstarch]

I hate jay- z, but i can not hate his music thats pre 2008

[xBallTVx]

1. D'evils

2. Dead Presidents II

3. Intro: A Million and One Questions/Rhyme No More

4. Can I Live

5. Can't Knock The Hustle

[jam4596]

I woulda put dead presidents II number 1 then can i live and d'evils

[CuthroatRecords]

who gives a fuck if he worships the devil thats his belief

[junkhobokiller]

@CuthroatRecords i doubt he is but its a bit ignirant if u think ur religion is better

[CuthroatRecords]

@junkhobokiller hell yea i think he just talks about it

[notoriousnate123]

Hard Knock Life, H to the Izzo (Every nigga here overlooked that), Big Pimpin (Jay Z's nickname), 99 problems. And we are in 2010 so time to include D.O.A, Reminder, Forever Young, Empire State of Mind.

[TheYungJustino]

great songs, but the list isnt right 

[veercide101]

VERY WACK SELECTIONS MAN SMH

[TheWBClive]

@felipe091295

all rappers wanna be pac

pacs the greatest.

[junkhobokiller]

@TheWBClive no jay z has a different style. His in the top three of rappers of all time

My opinion:

1.Tupac

2.Biggie

3.Jay z

[SirStiller]

Love this list. D'evils is such an underrated song, I listened to that song a couple days ago and it was awesome

[desithug04]

THIS CANT BE LIFE SHOULD BE IN THIS LIST ....NO QUESTIONS!!!

[meinkaunhun]

Hmmm .... For all you real Hip-Hoppers you need to check out 'I can't get with that'..

[W4NTED4LIFE28]

JAYZ SUCKS AT RAPPING

[kingscim5]

@W4NTED4LIFE28 ur mum sucks

[spideymayne]

Great choice for number one. I gotta go with Dead Presidents I as his best song, and a top 10 hip-hop song of all time. Some others: All of Reasonable Doubt. All of it This life forever In my lifetime (original or the remix) You're only a customer Ignorant Shit (original) Puffin' on Blunts Freestyle Imaginary Player So Ghetto Do It Again The Takeover You Don't Know Black Republicans (probably his most epic song ever)

[GGGiL00]

[TarHeelzGuy]

99 Problems is, in my opinion, the best rap song of all time. Where is it? It has some of the sickest lyrics ever!

[BotDance]

your damn right. 99 problems is the shit.

[baalyezidi]

tech n9ne all the way.. not this bullcrap mainstream shit..

[hubb22buntos]

@baalyezidi he is mainstream, just not as successful

[baalyezidi]

@hubb22buntos yeah since hes on tv eh? Independent all day

[foxx2033]

@hubb22buntos ownd lols! just ownd him on that xD

[hubb22buntos]

@foxx2033 what did you own me on?

[foxx2033]

@hubb22buntos lol its what you said to baalyezidi hahaha. you just ownd him 

[vico119]

@hubb22buntos omg owned? no!! tech n9ne has more respect than jay-z will ever get, he is mainstream bulshit, and you obviously havent heard tech n9ne at his best

[dsjj251]

@vico119 no one cares about these dudes, dont come to Jay Z videos to talk shit, personally i think Jay Z is better, who is better is personal opinion, you can never say some ones personal opinion is wrong.

-

but its also stupid as fuck to come to a rappers video to say someone else is better, i wouldnt care if its Soulja Boy, dont go to their videos to be a dick rider of someone else, its a bitch move.

[champanddylanstop10]

@hubb22buntos WORD!!! HAHA

[YungDickie]

@hubb22buntos yea tell these dumb asses the truth, lol

[PS3xMedia]

@baalyezidi jay z is amazing, and he aint even that mainstream, i mean he sortof is but his shit is amazing

[iGetBackSmacked]

@baalyezidi hehe tech n9ne is maistream too, atleast were im from, and is that all you care about, if its good its good.

[ZEEMRUPU55Y]

WTF LMAO@baalyezidi

[MkDmanshow]

eh no.1?

[CuanajoVideos]

City is Mine?

99 Problems?

Roc Boys?

Encore?

are all my favs

[Piano1515]

...u forgot number 1

[eyetalia]

The original Renegade with Royce 5'9 on it was much better in my opinion. As for a top 10 list of Jay-Z songs, there's always going to be arguments over what should have been on it because, well, he just has too many sick tracks accumulated over the years.

[xBallTVx]

1. D'evils

2. Dead Presidents II

3. Can't Knock The Hustle

4. Intro: A Million and One Questions / Rhyme No More

[KozzieJ]

Jay-Z always says he is compared to Biggie and tupuc but Jay-Z is better then them
