D'Evils is literally the song I will put in my time capsule inside of my casket when I die. It is the single most masterfully produced and written/thought out/thought provoking song I have heard in hip hop without a doubt. There are many but D'Evils to me. Is a master class in hip hop 101. Edit & Fun Fact: To this day. If Jehovah did in fact witness, he never testified.
Jay's longevity is helped by the deaths of Biggie and PAC, he basically stole all there materials and made them his own, like most rappers he wouldn't be where he is if both of those were still around.
@@Naomigardiner457 not really. having a couple of biggie lines in your music is not "stealing all the material" and jay-z would've still had the 'blueprint' & 'the black album' which are undeniable classics while pac & biggie were alive so it doesn't make sense he wouldn't be where he is if they were still here lol
I been waiting on this 😭😭 RD the greatest hip hop album ever to me, tied with Illmatic and RTD. One of the only hip hop albums i’m still dissecting and catching new bars over 25 years later… One of the most dense albums ever made.
Arguably the greatest first album from an artist, 1 of the greatest hip hop albums, and to me by far Jay zs greatest album. (Alongside The Black Album, Blueprint 1, HardKnock Life) 🐐
@@pranavmanvi9311. I think Illmatic held a special place in time and a change in hip hop that gives people a nostalgic feeling. I lve always liked Nas his flow was fresh and polished. I loved Life's a Bitch and it ain't hard to tell. The rest was average to me. And Nobody gave a shit about a song called New York State of mind unless you was from New York. LOL. Reasonable Doubt Was more accessible to the masses and was MORE REAL.
Proud of y’all man… Some albums y’all should do. Jay Z - Vol 1 Janet - The Velvet Rope Common - Like Water for Chocolate Missy Elliot’s first two albums Lil Wayne - Carter 1 and 2 Snoop - Tha Last Meal or No Limit Top Dogg 2Pac - Makaveli Brandy - Full Moon or NSN Young Thug - Jeffery or Barter 6
not sure if it's been mentioned , but fun fact about Brooklyn's Finest . . . it was said that Jay rapped so nice , that B.I.G went bacc and rewrote his verse . 🥶
I know you have seen this request before but I really think Pops would love American Gangster. It’s an album in his discography that rarely gets put up for reaction videos and I think the production was made for him
Clark Kent speaks the way he speaks in interviews with good reason 😅🔥🔥🔥 "Can't Knock the Hustle" is so well known, it's easy to overlook the fact that it's a perfect rap song. What he's saying and how he's saying it... flawless rapping. ON THE INTRO. And then he does it for the rest of the album 😂 Timeless!
I believe Jr is a big Kanye fan but ive never seen him this hype while reviewing an album. I knew Pops would appreciate the samples, respect him catching the bars. I think he was outside back in the day 😂
22 Two's is some hard writing, it gets mad props from me, but as a song overall, eh, maybe without the other verse that doesn't feature any 2's. Favorite song is a toss up between Feelin' It and Brooklyn's Finest. This album still slaps.
I got a good life man, pounds and pence , enough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench catch me swinging for the fence"..... That's one of the hardest verses ever to me. I love that song .
Lil Kim Hard Core next, please. this Sunday was the perfect day for it bc it’s its 27th anniversary. absolutely can’t wait for the Reasonable Doubt reaction tho!!!
I love your channel, and that you involve your dad in these videos. Since you mostly review Hip-Hop albums, i would love to see you react to some legendary international albums, my first suggestion would Kinematografia by legendary polish group paktofonika
it seems like pops is a big mac fan, you guys should do more of his albums like The Divine Feminine (my personal favorite) or Watching Movies with the Sound Off, or even one of his mixtapes like Macadelic or Faces
Yeah, Jay most definitely beefed with Fat Joe & Big Pun. My dude Flakko just made a video of that a few days ago. But this 1 was started from Joe not liking Jay. Pun liked him. But then when Jay sampled him, it made him extra mad. Then Memphis Bleek was in the spot...then the fight broke out...and it was on from there.
Haha don't know if it's been said yet but Jay and Fat Joe did have a low key beef similar to what Kendrick/Drake have now. Known but no big explosive moment to point to. The urban legend is that Big Pun hit Hov over the head with a bottle at club and bottles got thrown back and forth. Also, I'm with you. Can I Live is the one. "A brother gotta admire me from four fiends away", "is crazy.
One of those albums I don't remember as much when it dropped maybe because my family was huge Pac fans. But this is one of my favorite albums Jay was talking on this one and the production is crazy.
Bleek can be 1 hit away his whole career as long as I’m alive he’s a millionaire even if die he’s in my will somewhere so he can sit back & just chill somewhere. Fat Joe & hov had problems for a long time it wasn’t really put 2 bed til they did the all the up remix. Can y’all do a nipsey project?💙
I think you should do a full Jay-z series not necessarily every album but do the blue print and then the black album. American gangster , vol 2 Then do 4:44 last which I think is a classic also
guys you gotta stop with the corny video covers and go back to the RAW covers. It makes it seem like your reactions will be inauthentic.. Coming from a long time watcher! Appreciate the work - just a small insight :)
Fun Fact Time.... 1:12:18 Mark of The Reaction Youngin Said Jay Had No Beef With Fat Joe Well That's The Complete OPPOSITE!!! Hov Biggest Rap Beef Was Fat Joe bc the others were "Rap Beef" They respected Jay still. Joe n his Terror Squad let's jus say...Didn't lol It's Funny TH-cam Stories on many publications u can check one day King 👑 Great Reaction Fellas Maybe "Infamous Mobb Deep" one day 🔥🔥🔥

Idk, I gave you power by nas has a strong argument amongst others
🗣️🗣️
Same, along with Regrets, Never Change & Momma Loves Me
Bro it’s legit my favorite song oat, 99% of people don’t understand the song and the overall story of how each verse connects
@@chrisisslickthat song is no where as complex and deep as this song
I been waiting on reasonable doubt. One of my favorite albums of all time
Such an insane debut album man. Jay-Z's longevity is mind-blowing!
Jay's longevity is helped by the deaths of Biggie and PAC, he basically stole all there materials and made them his own, like most rappers he wouldn't be where he is if both of those were still around.

@@Naomigardiner457add Pac and Biggie's albums together, double that and Jay still has more albums. How does that work? 🤔
@@Naomigardiner457it’s always that one guy 💀💀💀wtf are you talking about 🤡
"At your wake as i peak in
Look in your casket
Feeling sarcastic
Look at him!!! still sleeping"
So disrespectful 😂😂😂
Classic Jay Z
Yes ,indeed
Pops was a little upset that the album was over. Glad he thoroughly enjoyed it like the rest of us
I been waiting on this 😭😭 RD the greatest hip hop album ever to me, tied with Illmatic and RTD. One of the only hip hop albums i’m still dissecting and catching new bars over 25 years later… One of the most dense albums ever made.
I got Illmatic slightly over this. But both are Classics though.
@@jayc5756 I think each one of those three have the strongest case as the greatest album in hip hop. Each one is fair.
@@jadenspareI gotta go with Life After Death
@@ArtisanWindchimes Also one of the strongest cases for top 1 hip hop
I got that album in my top 3 all time
Jay-Z is hamds doen the smoothest mc ever to touch the mic. HOV 4 Ever 🗽👑
Arguably the greatest first album from an artist, 1 of the greatest hip hop albums, and to me by far Jay zs greatest album. (Alongside The Black Album, Blueprint 1, HardKnock Life) 🐐
American Gangster is underrated
Illmatic is non negotiably the greatest first album of all time
@@pranavmanvi9311.

@@williamgorham1078 reasonable doubt is better in any aspect
Favorite song has always been D’evils. Y’all should do CYHI No Dope On Sunday
No Dope on Sunday is 🔥
i'm brazilian, and im praticing my english with your's videos. can heard and understand pop and jr talking is so satisfying.
Love that!
Proud of y’all man… Some albums y’all should do.
Jay Z - Vol 1
Janet - The Velvet Rope
Common - Like Water for Chocolate
Missy Elliot’s first two albums
Lil Wayne - Carter 1 and 2
Snoop - Tha Last Meal or No Limit Top Dogg
2Pac - Makaveli
Brandy - Full Moon or NSN
Young Thug - Jeffery or Barter 6
vol 2 was better
not sure if it's been mentioned , but fun fact about Brooklyn's Finest . . . it was said that Jay rapped so nice , that B.I.G went bacc and rewrote his verse . 🥶
I know you have seen this request before but I really think Pops would love American Gangster. It’s an album in his discography that rarely gets put up for reaction videos and I think the production was made for him
Is Big Krit making the list yet - 4eva is a mighty long time album reaction
Clark Kent speaks the way he speaks in interviews with good reason 😅🔥🔥🔥
"Can't Knock the Hustle" is so well known, it's easy to overlook the fact that it's a perfect rap song. What he's saying and how he's saying it... flawless rapping. ON THE INTRO. And then he does it for the rest of the album 😂 Timeless!
Album wordplay still unmatched til this day.
this might be my fav vid from this channel haha see people enjoying what i love is wonderful
Word life, I dabbled in crazy weight..
Without rap, I was crazy straight.. Partner I’m still spending money from ‘88….
This is in my top 6 rap albums all time. Impossible to name only 5. 🤣🤣
Reasonable Doubt wasn’t an instant classic when it first dropped… throughout the years it aged like fine wine. Most definitely a classic album!
I believe Jr is a big Kanye fan but ive never seen him this hype while reviewing an album. I knew Pops would appreciate the samples, respect him catching the bars. I think he was outside back in the day 😂
Rodeo by Travis Scott ?
22 Two's is some hard writing, it gets mad props from me, but as a song overall, eh, maybe without the other verse that doesn't feature any 2's. Favorite song is a toss up between Feelin' It and Brooklyn's Finest. This album still slaps.
Feelin’ It & Dead Presidents production is just a vibe, makes you thinkk
I got a good life man, pounds and pence , enough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench catch me swinging for the fence"..... That's one of the hardest verses ever to me. I love that song .
GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME…. In my opinion😭 don’t come for me lol
You guys should react to The Blueprint. I like reasonable doubt but this is my favorite album by Jay-z
they already did bro
Lil Kim Hard Core next, please. this Sunday was the perfect day for it bc it’s its 27th anniversary. absolutely can’t wait for the Reasonable Doubt reaction tho!!!
Pops' reaction to Lil Kim's hard-core lp will be wild😂😂😂😂
@@piemaggie2330 right!!!😭😂 it’s actually the anniversary of the album release today! we need that reaction for 27 years of Hard Core 😂
Pops gotta go back and listen to Jay’s album a few times . He’ll catch different things every listen
The Documentary - The game
What we need is Ice Cube album reaction.
Cole absolutely murdered the Dead presidents beat. Y'all gotta review The Warm up FRFR!
In hindsight pops was right about Brooklyns Finest. Hov killed it.
Gotta tell pops Bleek was like 16 when he was on Coming of Age....Hov & Joe had a crazy beef for a while
I’m glad you have returned to some classic Hip-Hop.
I thought it was 500K or sit with him.
But its whatever you value. I would for sure take the money. But to each their own. It is what it is.
and two albums later coming of age 2 happens on hard knock life album
I love your channel, and that you involve your dad in these videos. Since you mostly review Hip-Hop albums, i would love to see you react to some legendary international albums, my first suggestion would Kinematografia by legendary polish group paktofonika

He actually did beef with Fat Joe for years, but nothing really materialized from their fued.
My father is no longer with me, and he felt the same way you dad does about hov. We had similar conversations. This reaction means so much to me.

Next Jay album yall should do is Vol 1
one of my favourite hov albums he my goat,great reaction!

skipping over my favorite track is crazy lmao, can't knock the hustle
Big pun or Big L might be some good rappers to review
You need to react to Jay and Bey's joint album Everything is Love, it's just phenomenal
Jay is the 🐐
Haha don't know if it's been said yet but Jay and Fat Joe did have a low key beef similar to what Kendrick/Drake have now. Known but no big explosive moment to point to. The urban legend is that Big Pun hit Hov over the head with a bottle at club and bottles got thrown back and forth.
Also, I'm with you. Can I Live is the one. "A brother gotta admire me from four fiends away", "is crazy.
Rock Seller, yallllll 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like the old thumbnails were better. Much more clean
Pop real deal know music this amazing to watch him break music down
Politics as Usual is My favorite song on reasonable doubt. That sample and hook, those bars! 😎🤯🤤
4 for 4 is a mad coincidence 💀
Lmaooo
Pops 100% from the south bc we feel the same way about Jay z 😂
One of those albums I don't remember as much when it dropped maybe because my family was huge Pac fans. But this is one of my favorite albums Jay was talking on this one and the production is crazy.
Check my homie Big krits catalogue out ,timeless .....
This is my top 10 best album of all time
No lie pops was spot on for every sample.
I love that shit man. ❤️🔥
It's $500,000 or dinner! I would take the money!
Thanks!
Thank you! 💯
Loved the video! Pink Friday 2 out 12.8.23

You guys skip all the best parts
Uncut reactions on Patreon
Jay my favorite all time but gimme that 500K 🤣
🎶Breathe & Stop/freestyle -Coast Contra
Bleek can be 1 hit away his whole career as long as I’m alive he’s a millionaire even if die he’s in my will somewhere so he can sit back & just chill somewhere. Fat Joe & hov had problems for a long time it wasn’t really put 2 bed til they did the all the up remix. Can y’all do a nipsey project?💙

Need this
Maybe one day. You can see he likes more this imaginery bars instead of real lyrics.
1:19:35 “Rock seller ya’ll” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing a father and son interact like this
I think you should do a full Jay-z series not necessarily every album but do the blue print and then the black album. American gangster , vol 2
Then do 4:44 last which I think is a classic also
We did the blueprint and black album already. Check them out!
Jay Z and Fat Joe did have beef that got violent.
react to t.i.'s king album and dj quik's safe + sound
Real Clever Jay-Z - Pops 😂
American Gangster next please
brooo been waiting on this one. never thought this one would've happened.
My favorite Jay album.
Jay z and fat joe definitely had beef then
cotter homes / southwick!!! Westend of Louisville stand up! Pops is certified!
When did y’all or Rod Sr live here?
Here as in Louisville?
Yo your pops is cool af. Have you guys reviewed Big Pun's album Capital Punishment?

I think jay got big in that track
Fun Fact Time....
