@@kadiraydukureh7680 Busta Rhymes was the first fast rapping 91'. Jay Z came out with that fast shit in 93'and not really sure why he didn't progress with that flow. But Twista came out and killed it 🤷🏾♀️
Jay - Z is so dope with his verses and he knows how to incorporate his rap skills. Come on Jay - Z do another song with Beyonce and talk about the married life and make us proud. They called you Jigga because you are the man with the master plan and you are a true g.
I remember riding the train to school with the little Walkman I was lucky to get for Christmas, listening to this album and I had no idea who Jaz-O was before this song but I would just keep going back because of how much he and Jay-Z killed it, and how sick that beat was. Good times and a good intro to hip-hop.
CGI, easier access to HD cameras, Neptunes and Timbaland. The world definitely took a big leap into the future around then. Music videos were like movies then.
I was just about to turn off the tv and leave out to school in the morning when this joint came on. I dropped by backpack and sat down. After it went off I was thinking "what the fu$k just happened?" I skipped school that day to catch it a few more times. My mom came home from work as I was still in front of the tv, backpack on the floor, and looking like zombie. She said she got a call that I didn't go to school. I told her because I Jay Z had a new song that came on as I was leaving and I thought it was so good, I had to stay home and catch it again. She whopped me. Worth it though. I was in 7th grade.
+Tim Sanchez Yes! When I first heard that (and saw the music video) I thought it was from like 2005~06... The whole production is ahead of its time... ;)

If I'm not mistaken Dre's business was worth a billion but he did not own a billion dollar. When he sold Beats by Dre he got hundreds of millions out of it, as af 2020 Dre is almost a billionaire. Now Jay Z literally owns a billion dollars through money, properties, art paintings, investments etc. Either way I can't relate and they are both filthy rich. Period.

He stole that style though.
yup
+Dionne NEGRO PLEASE! LOL.
Crazy that it took me this long to realize that this is the SAME beat to “Cheers 2 U” by playa. Timbaland....you sneaky sun of a gun.
Dang! It sure is at a different speed! Good ear and memory...
Lol
And now pop smoke “Diana”
If not exactly the same beat I know that it was produced by Timbaland but it's the piano riff that is the same in the song not the beat itself
Chopped a couple parts of that song up to make different beats. Go listen to Aaliyahs One in a million. He just added to the back half of the drum loop.
The O RI GI NA TORS!!! What a verse. What a verse!!!
Who else misses Jaz and Jay-Z colaborating (hawaiin sophie, originators, aint no nigga etc) they should be good friends again!
Niall Smith just made up in chi town recently
This beat will forever feel like it came out yesterday! Timeless!
Timbaland is a genius
