“And her walk is mean.” I hope people get that lyric. She is a bad sista. Jay is saying this woman has strength, she walking with her head up, looking forward, it’s one of empowerment. I love that lyric.
This is such a clever video. First Jay gave you the visual with his lyrics alone....and then he took his lyrics and gave you a visual with this video. Such a classic!
Childhood memories...omg I remember this as a child. I was like 11 when this song was around. I'm 30 now sweet memories. R.I.P. Bobby Gaines. We use to sit & listen to music videos and just vibe. I love you father. Until we meet again may you rest with God.
@@mikesegovia3960 Hello. Just wanted to let you know that Jesus loves you very much. He is coming back very soon and He wants you to be ready. Just go to Him as you are. You don’t have to be perfect. The only thing He requires is a full surrender of your life. Go to Him and give Him your life and everything. Once you surrender everything (from the heart). He will give you The Holy Spirit in His fullness. The Holy Spirit will then give you faith, the power to overcome sin, peace, fulfillment and above all, eternal life. You cannot do it on your own strength. It’s only by the Holy Spirit. And you get The Holy Spirit once you lay everything down, including your life at The Lord’s feet. He says in His Word “Not by might, not by power but by my Spirit”. People think Christianity is boring. That’s because they see it as a religion. Christianity is not a religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who loves you and gave Himself for you. Having a relationship with Christ is the most joyful fulfilling thing you can ever have. Jesus changed my life and He wants to change yours as well. The reason we are all here is to fellowship with and have a relationship with God.
Man i swear this shit go so hard in the car out for the night. This is the single mans anthem..never get married yall im telling you its better on this side
If you listen closely at 0:57 there's a hidden Message in the beat. "When you smile..... I crave for life...... I must be....... In love.... Giggles... then Laugh." Incredible.
Damn I remember seeing this music video on MTV in summer 2001 late at night when spending the night at my cousins. We'd have MTV's music video block playing all night and this was always one of my favorite songs and music videos. Good fucking times, man.

This song brings back happy memories. Back when social media didn't dehumanize everything and swag was really swag. Idk wtf these new generation kids think swag is but everything to them is "weird". They need to take notes
I wish society was still like this where we just call em like we see em and not worry about people's worthless feelings lol. Glad there's still a bit of this left in rap til this day

What Jay wearing is back in style .. the baggy look
one of the greatest tracks ever released, brings me so many memories of highschool/college when this came out
"Had to leave her quick, 'cause she kept bootleggin' my sh!t"
This was a real hit! The Blueprint was one of my favorite albums
That was hard
Fix your hair in da mirror and let's go roll...... Don't forget to Make sure everything right ...

That was kanye west tbh

one of the best written hip-hop records of all time!!!
Hell yeah and still is this day
One of my greatest rap song ever.,I always play this song almost everyday the rap,d flow,d sound + d chorus gives me goosebumps🥰
Learning that Michael friggin Jackson did some of the vocals on the hook has completely renewed my love for this song. It was amazing already but even moreso now!
No he didn't. Not MJ at all.
I believe this is jaguar wright in the background
@vybzfrancis1267 He did on the remix which is a totally different song. He is not on this.
Yeah on girls girls girls (part 2)
🧢 MJ is not on this chorus don't insult Mike like that!!
A song that brings back memories and yet still going strong through the future.
Same for me
Slick Rick was on the chorus
This song had the best word play! I still consider this a classic and my favorite Jay Z of all time
Yo the way he correlates each girl what with they’re associated with is crazy!!
Jay is not playing 🎉
The late Biz Markie, Q-Tip and Slick Rick killed on the hook!!
Mj too
@@vincegalvez4067 No, it isn't.
I never realized that it was different rappers on the hooks😮🤯
That's crazy All those rappers on the hook 🫡

One of his dopest songs. 10/10
Also it was brilliant to get Biz, Qtip, and Slick Rick to do the chorus. Shout to the Crash Crew
“She said listen jigga mane idC if ya rap, Ya better R-E-S-P-E-C-T me.” My childhood was the shit.
