You sound stupid ass shit. That's who you have to thank for ever hearing Jay-Z for nothing he did with Jaz-O got any traction, it was only when he was featured in Original Flavaz sonvg/video who I believe was managed by Dame as well.
Is this the Apollo one where he did 2pac he said he performed it’s once at Apollo it’s crazy I still know a lot of these by heart ❤️ and look at dame dash the hype man that’s crazy
What was that Lil Kim line Jay slipped in there(7:45)?? 🤨.. Foxy rocked the shit outta that stage.. Dj killed that set 4 Sure.. and WtF was Dame’s thirsty self doing?? All on Fox .. ohhh but he don’t know nuthin about her being 15-16 yrs old when that 1st project Reasonable Doubt was ready to drop.. SMH.. hmm 🤔 Fox holds it down for Jay tho 🤐 straight up
brian Williams nigga snoop high all day do you really a dude that flows like.that would have been average. He was a threat to snoop.then and he did everything he said he was going to do and snoop is on tracks with him so he full of shit anyone that can rhyme like that would never be average.
That’s ME in the beginning introducing Jay Z. I hosted this PPV hip hop concert at the Apollo 🔥 Thanks for uploading this!! 💯

Is this the night that he performed the Tupac diss record?
Did you hear him diss Tupac

This man was introduced as an entrepreneur in 96
He and Dame have been preaching entrepreneurship since the beginning
He owned his label
@@pedrogates3189 That should've told all of the future rappers what to do.

First thing that came to mind. That shit was really unheard of back then. E-40 had Sick Wid It Records back then, but it was no Rocafella Records.

Man fr he been doing this shit
I realized Sauce Money is a better rapper than Jay Z lol
Timbaland Started In The 90's
@@jonathanwashington9199That’s what I was going to say Missy not any of them was out when JayZ started.

SO MANY FACTSSSS
100%
Puff did for BIG
@@dougpruitt8611 true
Puff daddy showed dame how to do it
That Gucci fit Fixy got on is an insane piece. she really been styling.
"We both from out of town dawg, what you tryin to get into?" That first album was all about his dealin days.
Of course! That was all he knew at the time, he couldn't rap about the stuff you hear on the blueprint, The Black Album, or anything he puts out now.
that line hit so hard for those who knw
Look at dame he always believed in Jay since day 1
Harlem own!
Rappers actually rapping live and actually rapping themselves back then. Miss those days
U think my Guy got a chance to take it to the next level. Honest opinion? th-cam.com/video/0Px8s2GmWGY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=auJ7OKkBRASUigVr
Didn't know Sauce was that heavy back then. The guy is massive today. When you hear his voice he doesn't really sound like a heavy dude.
Man come on Sauce is the Saucy Sauce
Too much Sauce is not enough
Sauce killed it!!!! 🔥
Facts…. “Thought u was Chinese the way u duck sauce”😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's why this dude is the legend he is!
Dame Dash getting his Diddy on dancing all over the stage
Never compare to that demon all dame got shady shit plane crash him and j got r kelly thing going too .
Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy, or Dame Dummy/ I get it. You're Big and he's Puffy
Fans already knew his rhyms they rap along with him
History in the making
Jay spittin that shit at the folks, i don't think they understand them lyrics. Jay-z the nicest yo
Nah, the Apollo ain't really know at the time, but they did KNOW..it's just took em' time!
They definitely didn't ovastand the potency of the bars...that drug talk in first person wasn't the norm
Thinking the same thing lol he was spittin SPITTIN!
My man always been ahead of his time
True true
Where's the PAC diss track 🤔
JAYZ🙌🏽, He’s a huge inspiration to Me.
he's a hollywood snake
Appreciate for putting it out. Just seen another video where they mentioned the performance and how there was no taping because Apollo had stopped recording the artist performance or some BS. But then I immediately looked it up. 💯
Good ass footage to watch during quarantine.
Jay-Z made a song "Dead or Alive" which was a diss record to 2Pac...the shit was cut out.
I don't believe it was that record he preformed. I believe it was a track we never heard with more personal attacks against Pac but I could be wrong
That’s what I came for.
@@MaryLou913 same here
YALL EVER COME BACK TO OLD HOV VIDEOS AND THINK DAMN THIS NIGGA STILL RAPPING TIL THIS DAY THE MAN SURVIVED THREE DECADES SHIT CRAZY AS FUCK..
#GOAT
This was a long, long time ago. Still good
Can't knock the hustle my favourite Rap tune 🙌🏽
JayZ been putting in work. I love it exspecially today's 444 a billion dollars later
When rap was RAP... INCREDIBLE
He was 27
WHERE IS THE 2PAC DISS?!?!
I searched this footage looking for the 2 PAC diss myself 🤦🏽♂️
Young man with swag...Jay-Z!
Great performance 👍👍
jay was on that big pimpin shit swagg
I remember recording this when I was a kid. Junior mafia did their thing also.
One lesson i learned from Dame yes believe in your product but play the background role as much as possible
This is 🏅🏅🏅
Sauce money so underrated I swear
I heard Jay z once did a rare unrecorded Tupac diss named " Scathing " at the Apollo once, thought it was on this
HOV smooth wit de flowww💯💯💯💯🍻
They didn't know what the fuck they were hearing
corey johnson or seeing
Dame Dash was a fake Puffy
El Pot Spot - Pretty much, he tried to follow Puffs guideline.
Ravens Spot 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ravens Spot 🎯💯
I posted this years ago, but Dame my manz now so I take this back lol
😂😂
Who gave Dame a mic?
AMAXTV for real 😆
😂
Dame straight sucked.... hah
Jay needed a hype man and Dame had to do the job even tho he never did it before lol they hustlers.
The crowd definitely didn't get it
Yeh Jay and Sauce was advanced
Niggaz didn't ovastand them bars....which shows U just how many niggaz WASNT hustlers, money go getters, etc...a nice portion of the crowd knew them records tho...Jay was a problem in NYC music scene...this is light...go watch Jay at the Tunnel videos...the crowd went nutts....we shook the bldg
Because it was jus a rebuttal of Nas illmatic shifting the culture into lyrical style that influenced the rest. He was jus keeping up with the highly anticipated soft more album “it was written..” that went triple platinum pa.
oh I get it..u biggie and he's puffy - nas
golaji nah he paid and you broke
What is the name of that 2nd song?
Look how Shawn went from Marcy projects to being worth a billion dollars. Gotta love it!
This was in 1996 Jay Z best album to me reasonable doubt
Shane Frasier 7 day kiluminati theory was the best album. Shit was eery, spiritual, and energetic. Deep and the heart of the street WORLD WIDE.

This is classic shit.....very raw....not mega star Jay Z shit....this dat str8 off the curb cypher Jay Z....and the lyrical content is over heads heads because most don't live that drug dealer getting large paper lifestyle....only the true street niggaz comprehended the verbage
Dope shit right here
Jay's Stage Presence Has Always Been Phenomenal, What's Good With Them Slacks Though Jay? lol
He learned it from BDK the 🐐
Awesomeness
Dame my guy but he was dressed like a used car salesman here 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 frfr
Them pants though!!!! 😂😂😂
Oh I get you biggie and He's puffy if you didnt understand Nas lines before seeing this you should understand it now
Ain't no Nigga was my favorite song from reasonable doubt track 9
Worst song on the album.
Jay Z like, fuck this i'm rolling solo! lol!
Ahhhhh the classic duck sauce line
Is this the performance where he dissed Tupac?
We thought he was bitin Dead Flowerz in 96. Reasonable doubt came out like 3 months later couple of the same samples,D'evils,Major bricks,etc
i miss dame dash
Damn Dame was doing good
Jay-Z was on point lyrically, Dame was somewhat tolerable, but the DJ was weak AF though!
Can I live ?
boy that Benjamin beat will get anybody hype;! sauce money!
Al B sauce money purposely used to rap to that track because puff owed him money .. you never heard the story about how jay and sauce money were all out to diss puff because he was playing wit sauce check
“Source Money” lmaoooo
Where is the Pac diss at???
cut out
Damn.. ok..
the 9:25 mark...Jay Z over the benjimans beat....he takin shots at Pac
mel mitchell in 1997 after PAC was already dead? Sounds about right for Jay and Puff. Talked a good game when No one was left to call them on it
