I'm not the biggest Jay-Z fan but this my favorite Jay-Z song. This is on the list of songs 2 play @ my funeral. This is "Ballad of a Fallen Soldier" originally by the Isley Brothers.
well jay-z might not be rappin like this no more because hes grown now he 40 years old lol u cant be 40 talkin about snitchin no more hes older now and moved on as a artist
When I reached the phone/he talkin' reckless/I can sense deceite in his tone/I said damn dog/What? 9 weeks and you home?/He said main man/ U think shits sweet/cause you home-Awesome. This was back when the best rappers where rated off stories and skills and substance, today cats is rated off dances ring tone sales and how good their business. Shame. "Had 'em thinkin' I was from uptown, for real...
I know this song is true! Growing up in the hood just my dog and me! But you know thats bad when your sister is mad and son like this is my dad labled as a snitch is a life time scare you always be in jail nigga minus the bars! lol
@hereHehereHE cracker doesn't have the same effect as the word nigger does! if it did u would see white people picketting but cracker is a weak racist term anyway if i really wanted to piss u off i'd jus wip my dick out
You little kids are dumb as fuck with that stupid ass free mason shit. And yeah this shit is harder than his current shit but at least he evolved with the times. How you gone be worth well over 400 mil and still rapping bout slingin on the block? think about it? J evolved, you may not like it but hey you still got the old shit to bump right?
Jay became an entrepreneur. That's why he is worth well over $400 mil. Yeah, his rap career got him the intial capital, but he wouldn't be worth half that as just a rapper. He's not as lyrical as he used to be. He doesn't have to rhyme about slangin' on the block to be lyrical. Lyricists can craft stories, fictions that seem real, evoke emotion. Anybody can rap about nonsense and bullshit that they do nowadays.
I love old Nas shit, hate his new shit. Same with Jay.
Coo, I made no mention of how he came into his wealth just that It wouldn't make any sense to be worth that damn much and rapping the same way from a decade ago. Like I said his old stuff is better but he has managed to evolve with the times and still make money in the rap game along with his other business ventures. I agree with you on the lyrical point maybe it died when em so called killed him on renegade lol. But who still raps the same. Snoop doesn't, nas, J, Em, even 50?
@nonameneeded405 And what is that called? selling out . You can change with the times, but you don't change the original aspect. You can repaint, get more workers,get new technology,items, up your inventory, get some fancy signs, change a few policies of a hardware store, but what these guys did, is changing a hardware store, into a damn clothing mall, sure, it's fancy, it gets you paid, and all the followers love it, but it's not at all in actuality good, they didn't evolve.
How has the original aspect changed. He still raps. You started off in kindergarten are you a sellout for graduating high school? You start out hitting a rock with a stick in a parking lot are you a sellout for playing in the MLB? Is a Producer a Sellout for ditching his classical training for an MPC or vice versa? How many times can you rap about crack sales? How many times do you want to hear rap about crack sales? C'mon. If Jay sold out what the hell do you call Ice Cube?
@nonameneeded405 They completely changed,except maybe Em, because he still does rap similar to his old self, look at Wu Tang, they are not as publicized as Jay Z, but they still bump old hip hop style beats and still have that 90's feel to them, and people still like them, BUT, they are not "What's in" "what's in style" so f them this is how the populace think, so fuck them sell outs. The millions of dollars and fans don't mean squat, it's mostly a bunch of followers who listen to w/e in style.
Lol how did em not change? Remember let me slap that ass with Akon who was hot at the time. Original Em would have never.... Umm I for one havent listened to the radio in at least 4 years. I Literally have not watched MTV or BET in probably 3yrs No BS. I don't get caught up in the BS music. Shit to quote Beanie "every little song n dance come out, ya'll hype that trash". If ppl today weren't idiots and mindless they would distinguish and elect for more good music. However....
It's unfortunate that Talib Kweli, MOP, Mos Def and so many others are not the face of hip hop/rap. But as with everything if you try to do the same old song and dance you get passed over and left behind. Plus if more fans supported better music you would have BETTER MUSIC!!! I know Jay has made some songs you can complain about but in the big picture I wouldn't call him a sell out. "You can bullshit with rap if you want". He still shows lyrical signs of his past.
@nonameneeded405 Popularizing Bullcrap is not ok. Dull, mind numbing, repetitive music, is now what sells. Go out and fuck anyone, Go out and club, go out and drink, Go buy lots of material objects, Violence, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, that music existed in the 90's also, but now it's popularized and way outplayed, looked upon as the norm and usual,And this lame ass "Im going to do me f everyone else" movement. Radio plays the same 20 songs all day till the next 20 trend songs come out.
Seems like Jay let "White America" get to his ryhmes these days, don't get me wrong he is still one of the best, but if he still was as hungry as he was during this ERA he would be the best no question...
@Forillagorilla22 LISTEN TO WHAT THE DUDE ABOVE SAYS. how can he rap about hustlin and all that bullshit when he aint even in that shit no more. he gonna run outta shit to say eventuallu stop been such a hater youtube noob!
The thing i dont understand how Jay be doing all this shit such short time period like they all say. When he got out to trenton D said jay was busy with Jaz, but klein said in 89 him and jay caught case in brooklyn, and klein took the case which is just as strange because klein was that nigga, then around that time jay was suppose in london with jaz, hawiian sofie came that year IDK it seem these dudes is lyin to me if i was a detective, i got to hear jay side thought
"Nigga this was the oath, to the top or broke, even pricked fingas, anything that got between us, we was spose ta cock the ninas, what happened to dat? instead you coped out to a misdemeanor"
For those wondering, yes this song is about Dehaven. Him, Hov & Emery came up in the drug game. I heard Dehaven introduced Hov to the game. Hov knew D snitched when Emery & Dehaven got bagged but the nigga D came out quick but Emery is still doing a fed bid. Cut the nigga off from there. Heard Hov even came to Dehaven's moms funeral & gave his daughter the cold shoulder.......Damn
For me, snitching or telling on ANYone, ANYthing was off boundaries. I never aplogized for nothing, would take major bids for the simplest shit. It was that ''I'm not telling you shit, Who the fuck are you mentaliy.'' And aint shit changed.
Jay - A Week Ago earliar in the Pearl Enzo reminiscing on a 9 month bid at sixteen. 675 Books. Ya'll don't know nothing about living in cold walls, I'd click your phone time, and smoke blunts out of bible paper at your shower time. ya'll don't understand the half of it. A Pisces with Green Eyes who turned a sick death wish into something positive. Youngest Billionaire at eighteen.
TRUE CLASSIC what happened till music like this not even hov raps like this hardle nomore i say hardly cause that song money goes it starts reminding me of the old #23 hov not that #45 hahha get it
This is true hip hop right here. I never thought I'd come to the day where I couldn't stand Jay-Z because of the way he shitted on his peoples from back then and now makes average or crappy music. I miss 90s hip hop.
Don't bother getting into this shit. Being locked up is an experience like no other. Some of the freest people in the world are in jail - imagine reading books without any distraction for years, becoming more knowledgable than anyone because you move farther into the sky until the day you get out, and look back at the world in the clearest view possible, your mind begins to see society like no other.
Ya'll internet talkers don't know nothing 'bout this, stop acting like you do. You aint been stripped searched daily, You aint done yearly bids, You aint smoked weed out of jolly rancher wraps, Ya'll aint live in cold walls. I agree with the comment from mdeezie
It do B the same niggz that say they don't that will been there b 4 facin shit & the nigg that I thought wouldn't did and he say it was to help me don't azk me where he at cuzz I don't know.
all yall r talkin bout oh i wouldnt snitch!! yeah right u prolly soft as shit...u aint gunna snitch untill u in an interigation room for 8 hours gettin cussed at n spit on cuffed to a muthafuckin table...yall aint even been n no real trouble...u aint never slept in a cell huh...n e way...like CEAZA29 said...dont let this shit dictate ur lives...live YOUR life...not Jayz's
oh no doubt i aint glorifyin snitchin...all im sayin is these lil kids on here r screamin theyr livin the thug life n shit lol u know...when they aint never been in no tight spot like that...and theyre tryin to live a celebritys life n shit...they just followers...and in the face of the police theyd break..
Guess I'm late to the reply party. I feel this shit. They never been in a hard cell sleepin' on concrete and starved with no food for a week. Just never been through no hard shit that makes you a person that won't snitch. Gotta walk that walk first before you can really talk the talk.
i feel what you are sayin dog...some people act like this is they own song and someone snitched on them. when they get put in this situation their bitch-like instincts tell them to snitch just like everybody in the world...
tell me about it. none of these dudes on here (myself included) know shit about this life. I mean I lived in a project complex so I've seen some snitches, and they were them dudes who swore up and down they were hard as nails and wouldn't snitch. I was young and could walk into a laundry room and see drug deals goin on. But where I lived wasnt no damn GHETTO, and still people acted like they were tough as fuck.

Everyone who likes beats like these should check out my song called I miss you. It would be perfect for Jay z

This is true hip hop right here. I never thought I'd come to the day where I couldn't stand Jay-Z because of the way he shitted on his peoples from back then and now makes average or crappy music. I miss 90s hip hop.

Don't bother getting into this shit. Being locked up is an experience like no other. Some of the freest people in the world are in jail - imagine reading books without any distraction for years, becoming more knowledgable than anyone because you move farther into the sky until the day you get out, and look back at the world in the clearest view possible, your mind begins to see society like no other.

Classic Jay, Vol. 2 and Reasonable Doubt are his best works IMO.

Ya'll internet talkers don't know nothing 'bout this, stop acting like you do. You aint been stripped searched daily, You aint done yearly bids, You aint smoked weed out of jolly rancher wraps, Ya'll aint live in cold walls. I agree with the comment from mdeezie

All you guys shut the fuck up and enjoy the song. They don't make rap this good nowadays, not even Jay-Z himself. 90s rap will ALWAYS be the best.

Guess I'm late to the reply party. I feel this shit. They never been in a hard cell sleepin' on concrete and starved with no food for a week. Just never been through no hard shit that makes you a person that won't snitch. Gotta walk that walk first before you can really talk the talk.

i feel what you are sayin dog...some people act like this is they own song and someone snitched on them. when they get put in this situation their bitch-like instincts tell them to snitch just like everybody in the world...

tell me about it. none of these dudes on here (myself included) know shit about this life. I mean I lived in a project complex so I've seen some snitches, and they were them dudes who swore up and down they were hard as nails and wouldn't snitch. I was young and could walk into a laundry room and see drug deals goin on. But where I lived wasnt no damn GHETTO, and still people acted like they were tough as fuck.
