@Supreme19 I agree...its sad really.This video is what got me interested in the Nubian Nation/Nubian Islaamic Hebrews&the teachings of the Master Teacher Dr.Malachi Z. York(Al Hajj Al Imaam Issa)in the first place(that and the Video Black&Proud by Tragedy from the Intelligent Hoodlum album)I subsequently took my Shahaada @the Masjid on 25th&Jefferson st. n Newport News,VA and have "followed the Lamb everywhere hes gone" since.I often think the same thing-how can he just 4get his roots all 4 $?!

Great video.Black in the dayz! 1:Jay Z cant rap about ghetto and sale a million albums.2 you can became successfull but dont sell your soul!sad to say but that was the real jay-z on this video,im really surprised to know that he was schooled by dr malachi z.york, but i think i ovastand why they have locked him. Jay Z have sold his soul to stay alive.

@Supreme19 but most of Jay-z's biggest and most respected songs by fans and critics alike are when he did dumb down his lyrics...even though Reasonable Doubt was lyrically superior to any other album he has ever done...His lyrical content really has never strayed or changed...he has always talked about the high life...and as he got higher he brought his fans along with him...he never deserted his fans...it was more the other way around...

and baby, let's face it
We bring havoc, flowin faster than rabbits, try to race it
The lyrical miracle writer, flippin until it drives you
Crazy, seek spiritual help from Jaz and Jay Zee
Standin in awe, you saw the best of em all, the rest will fall
Requestin for more, jaws stuck on the floor
These lyrics I pour, we saw, because we're greater
And we are the thiggida-thiggida-thiggida-the (the) originators

y'all know me
I wish you co-write, cause you'd pay me all the rhymes you stole from me
Leave you freeze in a minute, you gotta get in it breathin
Only when it lets, no sweat, I stutter-step with ease, and
Stop fakin, you're makin it, son
I'm breakin and breakin and breakin your tongue
Don't get caught perpetratin the cool ones
Figure we're bigger and badder and better
who's the guy in the picture at 2:46?

what makes you all say jay z lost his soul why ? becuz he is successful why cant a man prosper in the economic world and maintain his soul me my myself i am a very spiritual being but also strive every day to prosper in life economically we live in a material world w/o material you will not survive on this earth feel me

Being successful is fine, just as long as you don't forget where you come from. Jay Z is a great MC, still one of my fav's *Only his old stuff*, not this new junk. He even admitted to "dumbing" down his lyrics to sell to the masses, which to sell records is smart, but at the same time he lost a lot of his original audience. Personally I'll take the lyrical over the commercial. He doesn't acknowledge his past in his lyrics like he did in this video, which shows where he got his "Knowledge"...

you true for that but i think people go overboard by saying he sold his soul thats a very strong accusation cuz thats real shit and peole say things that they dont really overstand what they r sayin but if you listen closley every now and then jays light will shine like when he said truthfully i wanna ryhme like common sense..... and doing joints with dead prez he def could do more though

Indeed, it depends on how you look at it, when someone loses its roots, the "Life" if you will is lost. This is Jay Z's roots, in Nuwaupu which is always changing and I think he may get back on that path soon.
