Swagger jacker by camron….Nuff said….but I like Jay still one of the best…in terms of songwriting…the best in hip hop besides B.I.G. but when it comes to lyrics Jay is one of the best but not the best in my opinion
@@Jeter21881 yes STILL, here’s the definition for ya boo. still /stil/1. up to and including the present or the time mentioned; even now (or then) as formerly.
R.I.P. TO KAY SLAY...I WAS IN A FEDERAL HALFWAY HOUSE WAITING TO HIT THE STREETS AND THIS ALBUM DROPPED AND KAY SLAY PLAYED EVERY RECORD BACK TO BACK AND HE KEPT SAYING "YAWL KNOW I HATE THIS NIGGA SO IF IM PLAYING THIS ALBUM U KNOW THIS SHIT IS CRACK...KAY SLAY CALLED IT AN INSTANT CLASSIC...ITS THE ONLY TIME I EVER HEARD HIM GIVE JAY HIS PROPS AS A MC ON THE HIGHEST LEVELS
If you remove the beats, this whole album sounds like an old head having a conversation with a young bull who in the game. The last verse on this track, is so fucking epic deep, which sets Jay apart from every other rapper. Cause he can do lyrical & meaningful tracks like this and still make something for the club.
RIP Alan Hawkshaw, whose original work was sampled for this tune. Check out his tune 'Champ', and you'll see why this unassuming session keyboard player from the North of England is still one of the most sampled artists ever. Honestly, go check 'Champ'; you'll smile and gasp. RIP

This is why I be so fresh, I'm tryna beat life 'cause I can't cheat death Treat shame with shamelessness, aim stainless at anuses You know who's game this is Move COKE like PEPSI it don't matter what the brand name is I stand behind mine, everything I do I'm a man behind mine I'm not a angel, I'm sure, but every night before I lay I drop my knees to the floor and I pray
He got my cousins last name. That's why he large. But if he was hustlin' out there for real, he wouldn't have that much hair. You seen Ice Cube breakin' on bloody Jesse all through Barbershop.

This album is criminally underrated. Hardly any filler. Should have been his comeback instead of Kingdom Come.
Are you serious? This is one of his classics. Even if you arent a jay-z fan or whatever this is one of the greatest songs of all times.
TRUTH
All facts
One of the few albums you can throw in the cd player press play and let it go without skipping. Straight fire
Super underrated
People who get jay z lyrics really hold him in a higher regard than any other rapper. It just is what it is.
