  • GOTTA STRANGE WAY OF C-IN LIKE STEVIE WONDER WITH BEADS UNDER THE DU-RAG....THAT SHIT IS TRU I STILL THINK THAT WAY....REAL NIGGAZ FEEL ME ITS THE ROC

  • yall niggas dumb

  • Nas has the most classic material and sold more unit cds dipshit look it up bitch.

  • Didn't say hE wasn't ok. But he's no nas. Wayne gotem too. Jay just a hustler.

  • Come on you know that shit if you listen to any hip hop. You tube nas get down intro. Way hotter anyway.

  • Nas killed jay

    Wayne killed jay

    Camron klled jay

    Jay killed jay.

    Wack nigga

  • lmao riiiiggggggghhhhhhttttttt

  • @giobebe01 i hope that comment was a joke, bcuz I'm a big Nas fan but at the same time, I can't deny that jay is one talented muthafucka and this intro is flawless...and if jay got killed so bad, by so many rappers...than why is his career 10times stronger than all of theirs til this very day?? and why do haters like you comment on a rappers video twice, hours apart ?? it's okay if you don't like jay, but lets be real..you cant be a wack nigga for 16years in the game & be respected by legends

  • J was killing them. Listen to his old shit, he'll tell where he was going. I'm not surprised to see him where he is now

  • This is one of the finest intros to ANY album, Hip Hop or other, ever produced. The beat, the lyrics......all of it.

    No wonder this album was lauded by DJ premo as one of his favourites.

  • Nas, Mobb Deep, and Dipset disliked this

  • this was just an intro and is better than most present day rap singles

  • @MurphGiovanni

  • @Jerkyboy2169 No way. What type of crack you smoke? Hov>Nas

  • I remember buying this album with my birthday cheese in 2000. Im no blog or youtube baby, I am a baby of the Source, Blaze, and Word-up magazine.

  • I remember letting this album play from START 2 FINISH...CLASSIC ALBUM

  • The only intro that could fuck wit this intro is "what up gangsta". . . . The best intros ever

  • This song reminds me of the soundtrack of movie "Close Encounters of the 3rd kind"

  • worst idea ever incorporation A-Million into the dynasty, even if it was for 5 min lol.

    sick sick sick intro

  • crazy how the intro to his c.d. is better than the shit on the radio today

  • Chamillonaire Killed this track on messiah 2. Jayz is a biting wack rapper! He got money and a bad bitch but he copys alotta rappers lines... MIXTAPE MESSIAH 2. also check out his new shit MAJOR PAIN 1.5

  • @CortezKills You must be out of your fucking mind. "Jay Z is a biting wack rapper." Seriously? If you are older than 25, you should go kill your self for saying that. And if you think that Chamillionaire's shit is better than this, you should go jump out of a window and slit your wrists on the way down.

    Wow. Unbelievable.

  • @CortezKills Blahh blahh alot of rappers take each otha style... Jay z using Biggie lines to Big up his brotha so whats wrong wit dat? I get it Chamillionaire is ya fav rapper ma bad

  • This is the best intro for any album ever JAYZ=GOAT

  • the lyrics please

  • PPL are overrating the Stillmatic intro massively- it was decent but not great. Jay Z has made atleast 4 intro's better than that: Intro to Vol.3 life and times.... (all 3verses)

    Intro to the dynasty

    The Prelude (he subliminally murked the game)

    Intro to Vol. 1 (A million and one questions/rhyme no more)

    ...........>>>>>>> than overrated stillmatic intro

  • Shit is as dark as its been, nothins gone as you predicted, i move with biscuits, stop the heart of niggahz actin to suspicious, this is food for thought you do the dishes.

  • @swaggOVERLOAD1000 "Niggas say it's the dawn but I'm superstitous...shit is as dark as it's been, nothin' is GONE as you've predicted!....So!! what do you think he is saying in this verse?

  • @mssquirrely Im Very glad you ask that, HES SPEAKING OF GOD NOT BEING THERE FOR HIM SO HE TURNS TO DARKNESSS!!!

  • @mssquirrely Im Very glad you ask that, HES SPEAKING OF GOD NOT BEING THERE FOR HIM SO HE TURNS TO DARKNESSS!!!

  • @swaggOVERLOAD1000 very good!! One of the best answers I've heard thus far. I feel the same....Peace brotha

  • Song gives me the chills, would give it two thumbs up if i can

  • dynasties come and go, death row, bad boy, aftermath, roc-a-fella, cash money etc.

    the thing bout jay is he one of the biggest, he aligned himself with people with their own money. people forget that the beans and dame beef was mostly business

  • this is a good into but camron come on home wit us got a dope intro 2

  • Greatest intro ever, so lyrical

  • @swaggOVERLOAD1000 naw go hear chamillionaire's guess who's back mixtape messiah 2 intro

  • this album is very slept on . a very strong album but jay had way too many classic albums . i put this album 4th . behind blueprint , reasonable doubt , black album

  • damn, this beat gives me the chills...

  • I'm no big Jay-Z fan but this is one of the best intros hands down. The word play on this song was incredible.

  • 1:33.............After Hov, other "rumored" Hip-Hop-related male figures with Masonic and/or secret society connects: Trevor Smith (Busta Rhymes), Damon Dash, Sean Combs (Diddy), Andre Young (Dr. Dre), James Smith (LL Cool J), Lyor Cohen, Russell Simmons, Will Smith and, the one and only, Calvin Broadus (Snoop). Just saying.

  • "But I'm starvin my niggaz, and the weight loss in my figure

    is startin to darken my heart, bout to get to my liver

    Watch it my niggaz, I'm tryin to be calm but I'm gon' get richer

    through any means, with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture"

    killed it!!

  • @MaliceSTL

    Only psalms I read was on the arms of my niggaz

    Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious

    Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures

    Niggaz, say it's the dawn/Don but I'm superstitious

    Shit is as dark as it's been, nothin is goin as you predicted

    I move with biscuits, stop the hearts of niggaz actin too suspicious

    This is, food for thought, you do the dishes

  • this is most def his best intro but i do like 'the prelude' on kingdom, very underrated intro and the beat on that is smooth as FUCK. But back to this, if you an emcee or a rapper and cant catch wreck on this you FAILED AT LIFE

  • T.I killed this beat also on Grand Hustle Radio

  • I honestly believe this is the greatest intro of all time in any hip hop album. But Nas's stillmatic is pretty close. The beat on the stillmatic intro is crazy as well as the lyrics.

  • Quite simply... The BEST intro to ANY album of all time.

  • sickest intro only the hova song can even b mentioned

  • 3 PPL NEVA READ SONGS ON THE ARMS OF THEIR NIGGAS

  • BEST INTROS OF ALL TIME 1# Life and times of Shawn Carter 2# Dynasty #3 young jezzy(the Recession)#4 Master P (Ghetto Dope)

  • "Never read the Qu'ran or Islamic scriptures

    Only psalms I read was on the arms of my niggaz

    Tattooed so I carry on like I'm non-religious

    Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figure" those are some powerful words right there

  • @FireStarterzBeats My personal favorite, I LOVE that you credit that. HOV is exactly that.

  • Im not the biggest Jay Z fan in the world. But I admit that this is one of, if not the greatest intro ever.

  • you this shit be having me zoning !!!

  • I have no idea who wouldn't like this. This intro was AMAZING!

  • check it out...Walk wit me...ugh...talk to me......Hoova!

  • @SiLV3RxPuNiSH3R ILL PUNCH YOU IN YA MOUTH FOR SAYING SOME SHIT LIKE THAT.

  • There's this kid named Lovelle who does a remake to this intro and it's way better. check him out.

  • What douchebag actually disliked this tune...

  • can forget that big picture intro either, sick beat!

  • one of the best beats ever

  • Reminds me of the early 2000s. The rap around this time was good but then it went too mainstream with the likes of Ja Rule and Nelly. I stopped listening to rap and switched to rock

  • jay started that intro shit wit niggaz juss spiitin straight fire when the album first come on

    and mad niggaz bit his style show the g.o.a.t his respect

  • This shit is hot and deep @ the same time.
