Why do so many people listen to a rapper who raps about nothing more than how good he thinks he is and how stuck up he is? I just don't see what people enjoy about it. Does it make people feel better to suck up to someone? Is there really any talent in rapping about how better than everyone else you think you are?
Well, maybe if you listen to his whole catalog, you will answer your own question-- he has survived all these years because of his songs' content. He has grown with the times and the songs reflect his vast knowledge, maturity, ability to discuss and rap about art, history, social subjects that resonate with people world wide-- almost 30 yes strong..!!!!!!
@teranz0 Actually i'm only 13 and i knew this song well before the song was mashed up with numb. I spent months tryin to find the original but I glad i got it
I feel the same way, haha. I didn't even know this was its own song. I just stumbled across it while looking through Kanye's production discography. And to think that I never liked Linkin Park and always preferred hip hop.
I don't really like Jay-Z, I mean I really want to and there is clearly some joint that I am missing but which? This song is the best of his I've ever heard, any of you guys got some good Jay-Z recommendations?
Thank you. This version is the illest track on the album. Just like Numb is fucking ill too. Mixing em both toghether makes me want to throw up compared to the originals.....
It's not the artist's fault they're putting out shit. Blame the market. People's preferences change and the musician makes music to satisfy the largest demand which is usually coming from young teens.
i rather listen to this version then w da linkin park collab..i mean i love the collaboration..but now its hard to find the official video of "Encore" on youtube -____-
you all talk shit... you all slag off linkin park and obviously you have heard that version.... and now your here... i think both versions are pure class and i cant say one is better than the other so stop slateing one or the other and just enjoy some reall good music :)
Linkin Park wasn't rap even in this song. It is combined with almost every style so rap is only one of them. Lyrics of LP in rap are far better and deeper than of Kanye West. LP got prize for the best rock band so let see someone of them so successful in rock and rapp together. Actually nevermind. All are excelent composers so let this conversatio comes to end. It's about opinions and most of people decided that with LP sounds better. bye
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ˇ-ˇ Linkin Park gives another dimension in that song so 'killed' is useless word there. It's about the taste. But we all know that Numb/Encore conquered the world.
ngl its deece but for a song about Jay calling himself brilliant do you really want linkin park wrist cutty stuff? not really, kanye's beat is far better here
![Linkin Park & Jay-Z [Collison Course] - Jay-Z Arrives - LIVE HD](/img/n.gif)
JayZ is in a class all by himself, not to be compared too any other rapper ever !!!
You need Jesus! Have you lost your mind? 😂😂😂😂😂
The man is awesome!
whoever didnt like this is crazy...numb/encore was good...but the original is what made me cop the Black Album
jay always shouts out g rap
i say always because i remember him saying it in other songs...respect for that cause people forget how raw g rap is
Watching this live is the greatest experience anybody can have in their life

Please tell me I'm not the only one that likes this better than the Linkin Park version. Im sorry but the horns are fuckin boss!
this song is soo classy!
song brings back memories.
love jay man!!!! HOV ROCKS !!!!! BEST RAPPER ALIVE...LEGAND
young forever!!!
I just saw the austin concert, and it made me want to join in and get on stage and sing along with Jay-Z. It also made me want to cry.
This came up randomly on shuffle the other day, and after years of numb/encore, i think this original kills it.
this ones better than numb encore
Kanye West is lengendary this beat still gives me shivers.
I play this song on DJ Hero ;)
Yes You gotta buy it doe lol
Ahah yeah it's a DLC
i respect that
word up
@teranz0 Actually i'm only 13 and i knew this song well before the song was mashed up with numb. I spent months tryin to find the original but I glad i got it
I miss the old Jay-Z.
Vibe wit mo..
its about opinios what fits the best...
I feel the same way, haha.
I didn't even know this was its own song. I just stumbled across it while looking through Kanye's production discography. And to think that I never liked Linkin Park and always preferred hip hop.
watching that brought me here
good ear!
epic!
I know this songs classic but I was never really into and wtf this song is dope what was i thinking
I'm a Linkin Park fan myself and I admit that the horns made it f*cking better.
I felt the same way when I first heard the numb version.
classique shit !
Thanks I don't really need anymore suggestions I found a lot of good stuff :) Thank you though!
@CikaKure33 the background music is very weird.
I don't really like Jay-Z, I mean I really want to and there is clearly some joint that I am missing but which? This song is the best of his I've ever heard, any of you guys got some good Jay-Z recommendations?
This should be MCA's song going to into Heaven.
he say victory lap
Thank you. This version is the illest track on the album. Just like Numb is fucking ill too. Mixing em both toghether makes me want to throw up compared to the originals.....
I know, hard knock life, anything, DOA, Venus vs Mars,
lol yeah
To hear it without Numb is great.
It is FAT with Numb!
This is much better than numb/encore
this track reminds me of sir alex ferguson
Then buy (his old) The Black album.
HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA! HOVA!

I know,right?
How do you call the original shit?
Lol. Heard this and started thinking of Biggie.
C'est assez drôle la manière dont les anglais prononcent le mot "encore" ^^ Ne le prenez pas mal !
yes cuz jay-z can teach how to make chicken casserole
i rather listen to this version then w da linkin park collab..i mean i love the collaboration..but now its hard to find the official video of "Encore" on youtube -____-
Lmc if you think Jay-Z is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i bet you came just to type this lol
no it isn't
numb fits perfect on his rap
This has got to be one of the most funny comments on the internets :)
Sucks you guys have no sense of humor and dislike it...
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
just realised kanye spits the first line on the song!!
I wouldn't count Kingdom Come or American Gangster era cause it still sounded like he lost it a lil bit but they was still better than BP3
check out kaletre how do it .......on you tube
who you know fresher than hov?
i like both but the original will always kill the remix even if it is numb encore
it seemed to me that when kanye changed his beats jay z changed
Try Izzo
how can you think all music sucks?
Kanye bodied this beat..let's be honest, his production was legendary.
The instrumental is overpowering the vocals compared to the Linkin Park version
wtf chicken casserole , how is jay z related to chicken???????????
Guys (to all of you), I think you're missing a point here...
A good joke missed by many.
you all talk shit... you all slag off linkin park and obviously you have heard that version.... and now your here... i think both versions are pure class and i cant say one is better than the other so stop slateing one or the other and just enjoy some reall good music :)
with numb it sounds more epic
96-03 Jay-Z >>> BP3 & WTT Era Jay-Z
I
renegade with Eminem
I think the beat of Numb is better to this song and chester bennington doing "what the hell are you waiting" sounds better
numb/encore is too emo for me
Yeah... Downsides of advanced sarcasm, eh?
@Bobbythehammer clearly, no one. This song really isn't very good on its own
sarcasm?
hell no i will go to war over that
numb /encore is alot better i think
not realy
May be Jay-Z doesn't need more money so it's less good ...

There is no doubt numb/encore is better.

ngl its deece but for a song about Jay calling himself brilliant do you really want linkin park wrist cutty stuff? not really, kanye's beat is far better here
not true in the least bit
No.
yeah this is so boring without numb mixed in
drakes the cheap imitation for these generations....
yes it is shit..song never becomes good until and unless u mix it wid some good music.
just boring, no vibe. Aseptised music...
Wow this version sucks
