I think the focus of the reason for the name "ROCAFELLA".....goes with the line in this song "You make a nigga die bleeding ain't nothing... YOU MAKE DIE BREATHING THEN YOU'RE SAYING SOMETHING" No matter how anyone see it. JayZ was focused on his career. Too bad many more can't do that. Distractions like jealousy, envy, hate, & lust!!!!
More flavor than you can imagine having, graphic like Sega Saturn, traffic like a bodega, just so happens you caught me at the tail end of my life, my brain isn't right from inhaling the work of my life
yeah agree i love this jay z track...no doubt a classic but big pun is up there with biggie, pac krs1 and those guys. but this are my favorite jay z tracks regrets, imaginary player, in my life time hard knock life, and girl girls i mite like more but i cant remenber the other songs name
I really want to see a video for this f*ckin song!! Get all your friends to view this song so we make it the hottest video on youtube and send a message to Shawn Carter. NOW!!!!!
My account is fucked, I was gonna post some more hip-hop tunes, but youtube fucked me over. I know that the song references in the desc aren't 100% so forgive me for that. Keep enjoying! Hip-Hop is power.
This is definitive Jay-Z right here. The ego, the slick rapping, the wordplay, the way he talks to you, the fire-ass beat...this is the kind of song that spawned 2500 imitation rappers. And none of them even come close to making a song this good.
@thefirsthead Dude u cant just lose it...he adapted to the game man..lotta rap cats become irrelevant after an album or two...that's why he stayed consistent...why think he murders in people's remixes or mixtapes...black album was a classic...Blueprint as well..American gangster was a sick time piece...dude was sill sick after vol 1...waiting on his album this year
Exactly...him switching it doesnt mean he lost anthing...dude, you gotta get with the times..that's why he is so great...you cant keep rapping like 1996 when you are in 2011...u gotta grow and show somn different...if he wanted to keep it 96, he couulda but like hov said, if u want 96, go buy his old shit...lol...Look at Nas, he never went anywhere cos he stayed stagnant...never grew...same as Rakim....Mobb Deep..JadaKiss...im a NYker and these are my fave rappers...Jay-Z #1 EVER!
@kaye10 i can see ur a big jay fan so ur gonna argue wit me, but as far as lyrics. jay aint in no top 10 let alone a 5..hes a great buisness man..thats it..can he flow.yah
You are right the song incorporate bits of vocals of the songs you mention but the music bass line is based on Rick James "Moonchild" and Mary J used the same music bass line sample in "Love is all we need" Just listen to Rick James version and you will see.
@demfields lol dont you love it when people who dont know what the fuck theyre talking about try to correct you...all he had to do was listen to moonchild but noooooooo, he probably wne to some dumb ass google search & got his info from some half ass such as himself & attempted to correct you based on this LOLOL
Up there? The dude is the greatest of all time..he always had the best flow...his style is on another level...funny cos Biggy was my fave until I actually watched Jay...somn different..Nas is one of the heavies but he isnt top 3..possibly top 5...at least top 10...People keep saying Biggy and Pac mostly cos they died in their prime...I certainly will not crown them king..I always thought Jay would be special...if those other guys lived, they would not be as big as Jay-Z.
@crawnjc82 ,Does Jay-Z look like he takes a back seat to anybody??? Why u think he is HOVA, da god MC...Tupac was a poet...Jay-Z's wordplay would annihilate him. Biggie never reached his prime..released two albums..look how long Hova has been in the game and is still #1...no one compares to teh dude man...12 #1 albums...r u serious...
did you hear this dude?" you make a nigga die bleeding is nothing/you make a mother fucker die breathing then your saying something!"Stop playing,this dude is another Rakim,beyond simple minded people's comprehension.
I used 2 have The Dangerous Ground soundtrack and my fave 2 songs were Ice Cube The World Is Mine and this 1 good memories I haven heard this song in years
