This song is soo passionate. The way he rides the beat is amazing. Flow is great. Lyrics actually mean something. you can always count on HOV for that especially when we need it these days. this could possibly be one of his best songs ever with that first verse
I've never been to quite describe what you so eloquently stated about this song🙌🏽👏🏿👏🏿👊🏽😂how do listen and not be blown away🤷🏾♂️ storytelling AAAA++++++
I remember buying American gangster the day it came out from circuit city back in 2007. I was blown away. Then i saw this storytellers when it first aired. If I’m not mistaken it premiered. On VH1. The American gangster era of his career is brutally underrated. Arguably the best work of his career.
Yeah I remember buying it from this spot in Jersey city called “stans record spot “ spot was a hood classic he had everything in there ! From the Jackson 5 to nas and jersey city blend tapes he even had old Dj clue mixtapes rip Stan hood legend for real
I remember playing this video almost everyday. The fact that Jay never wrote down his raps makes this entire album feel like he’s telling us his story and experience but through the perspective of Frank Lucas.
I love when this cat performs with a live band espcially the illadelphonics. where and was this concert? I'm jealous. I have to see this dude live before I die!
This song is true its never enough of what we want.When you reach the top no one stays on top for ever.Its the nature of life when you are on rock bottom the only way is up.When your on top only way is down.
@@diamondsareforever1011 he 1 in 1 million who made it away and that’s cause the judge slipped up and said he was getting time and he bailed out and left town but if that didn’t happen he would of been just like the rest doing 30+ years in jail
Yep. Hoovah is talented Definitely an alpha male Definitely has mastered the art of reading body language , he can read instincts, and he listens. If you ever meet jay z he will figure you out in about 28 to 36 seconds. I need between 45 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds sometimes 2 minutes. Music and the streets made him big... If jayz were a pigeon he would be a shadow roller
🎶 I know I shouldn't had did that, I know it's gon' come right back, I know it's gon' destroy everything I made... IT'S PROBABLY GON' GET YOUR BOY SENT AWAY! But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it, It's inevitable, that I'm falling🎶 #ArtImitatingLife? #TheAmericanGangster
isn t he the fukin best!!>? I mean come on man this is my life my friends life niggas i met in jail life niggas that aint get to jail yet i mean i coulsd go on this nigga is a prophet. nobody raps life like this this is intelligent shit being explained clearly and straightforward. I love this nigga!!
Your arm candy sweet on em. And the woman that you left for that heffa got a college degree coming. Bad news keep coming. Hard to keep something on your stomach your sick about what your life is becoming......Bars!!
One of my favourite Jay songs for real "He might not be Gangster" robbin n shoot niggas but he definitely got bars n spits fire.Its a shame him n Pac couldn't have made up n did music together but at least him n NaS did.I respect Jay n can relate he grew up middle/low class n became the Don of rap.I came up from the ghetto n became a middle/upper class family.Too bad ppl sleep on Jay in this rainbow hair cross dressing generation.Jay,Pac,Big,Nas,Em and probably Ice Cube are my favorite Mcs of all time in no order.
I know i shouldn't Have did that I know its gone Come right back I know its gone Destroy everything i made Its probably gone Get ya boy sent away But This Game I Play Ain't No Way to Fix It Its inevitable..
Talking tough on the TH-cam Bout what you used to do But that's old school To The New Crew They're Doing Numbers Like Sudoku They're the new you And its damn near inevitable They'll experience DéjàVu too Fight, and you'll never survive Run, and you'll never escape So just fall from grace, damn..
@@FullyAutomaticAddict410 naw bro. Jay did the I get money remix with 50. On the song he called himself the goat. LL had got mad and started talking crazy on TH-cam. So the last verse of this song Jay Z in a slick way was dissing LL. “All you do is pull up, push up …..mad bout all the new dudes talking tough on the TH-cam, bout what you used to do”. He worked LL in as a metaphor about how he fallen off
@@brianjackson3031I never connected that bro as much as I’ve watched and listened to this. That’s the beauty of his lyrics you always uncover something new
And your arm candy sweet on him/and thee women that you left for that heifer got a college degree coming/bad news keep coming/hard to keep something on your stomach/your sick about what your life is becoming. Hov
Hov knows what he is doing... he made that shit album kingdom come then dropped this classic to compensate. Then he dropped BP3 which was whack.. but followed it up with WTT which was solid...
![ILLSLICK X YOUNGOHM - We're The same [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yUJNkobYR0E/mqdefault.jpg)
this is probably the best song from that album which in my opinion is his best album
Only a dude who hustled can understand 100% realist shit ever written
I think American Dreamin is but you're right this album may be his best. It's definitely my top two.
His flow on this one . Flow too many ways
Yo my fave hov album also
Most underrated song ever

Man...this song is the truth
I saw this concert on VH1 12 years ago, It's been a long time and brings me a lot of memories.
The real definition of a real masterpiece
This song will never get old...Love JAY Z
One of the greatest songs Jay ever made
This shit too official, for almost 10 years I always find myself right here jamming
I remember playing this video almost everyday. The fact that Jay never wrote down his raps makes this entire album feel like he’s telling us his story and experience but through the perspective of Frank Lucas.
My favorite Jay song smh this song bring tears when u ran the streets and know what he mean legend 💪🏾💯
This the only way to hear this song on youtube. Crazy B...
Definitely one of Hov’s best songs ever ..:
one of the best storytellers in rap you can def put him on slick rick level with this
I love when this cat performs with a live band espcially the illadelphonics. where and was this concert? I'm jealous. I have to see this dude live before I die!
This song is a Masterpiece. Jay's storytelling was on a whole another level while performing this track.
His best album American gangstas!!!!
This song is true its never enough of what we want.When you reach the top no one stays on top for ever.Its the nature of life when you are on rock bottom the only way is up.When your on top only way is down.
Not true frank matthews was the biggest drug pin he escaped the fbi and still never got caught and escaped with over 15 million dollars 💵 😁

Jay z killed it on this track. Great message
Yep.
Hoovah is talented
Definitely an alpha male
Definitely has mastered the art of reading body language , he can read instincts, and he listens.
If you ever meet jay z he will figure you out in about 28 to 36 seconds.
I need between 45 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds sometimes 2 minutes.
Music and the streets made him big...
If jayz were a pigeon he would be a shadow roller

But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it, It's inevitable, that I'm falling🎶
#ArtImitatingLife?
#TheAmericanGangster
Yup..
Fun Fact: Jermaine Dupri made this beat for him and then he introduced Jay Z to No ID for the first time in that same session
This is a lie cause no id was on the black album too
isn t he the fukin best!!>? I mean come on man this is my life my friends life niggas i met in jail life niggas that aint get to jail yet i mean i coulsd go on this nigga is a prophet. nobody raps life like this this is intelligent shit being explained clearly and straightforward.

I just love this song.
I guess it's two sides to what substance abuse is... Say less 💯
I love this song 2 death 💀 life and downfall of a drug dealer
you fall and they applaude, they are screaming at the screen, damn you fucked up like favorite screen

Talking tough on the TH-cam
Bout what you used to do
But that's old school To The New Crew
They're Doing Numbers Like Sudoku
They're the new you
And its damn near inevitable
They'll experience DéjàVu too
Fight, and you'll never survive
Run, and you'll never escape
So just fall from grace, damn..
NaturalDivineGoddess he's talking about Dehaven. @Dehaven444 ig. 2 sides to every story.. js
The best part of the entire track
The best of the 20th to the21st century. Jeez did he build the empire?
this is a michael henderson bassline from the dramatic fell for you
Thats what made me love this song. You killed that Dramatics joint
i doubt it if lil wayne could write a song like this, it takes intelligence to rap like this man, jay you are the best rapper alive
Weezy never lived dat life to get that intricate, like most other artist they can only talk about the spoils of the game.
I remember when I first heard this last verse. I was on my way to a different choice in life, I thought I was balancing it all. I realized I wasn't.
you fall and they applauded, they are screamin at the screen
6ix9ine didn’t listen to this.😩🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
This is so crazy 6ix9ine just ratted on all these dudes, I mean he sent shots at jayz and i think they stuck him 6/12/20
lol..actually he probably did listen. He wanted no parts of that shit. "Fck that street code shit I'm out."
I still can get how people say this dude not one of the best to do it , other rappers live show never sounded as good as this
my shitttttttttttttt
Tony Royster Jr. :)
Jay flow is so mean i aint gonna front
My daughter used to play this song to death. So I made it her ringtone. LOL
damn gravity is ill
2019
That idea was tp Fall In Love by the time I'm 35 I stick around until I had enough good morning
I was looking at rappers falling on stage lmao but jay z is too cool to fall.
Essa Música é loka!!!!!
On my way to little Mary company San Pedro
makes u think..dont it??
..what he said💋
That was me that was screened that day in jail I saw you
Bebe the car accent that your brother got I in with
Anyone know the julio Iglesias song they sample this beat from
They sample The Dramatics Fell For You. The guitars you hear are from David Axelrod...it was used in Dr Dre’s next episode
@@sheldontaylor2002 are the piano and the beautiful sounds that play at the very beginning sampled from somewhere?
The last verse on this song he did LL cool J so filthy. If you know you know
Actually that verse is toward DeHaven
