Timbaland is a fuckin' beast!! The beats this man cooked up 1996-2007 were phenomenal and insanely addictive especially during the 1999-2002 era. No one was fuckin' with his or Missy Elliott's productions. The dynamic duo were churning hit after hit during this era. I'm so envious of you 80s babies, y'all had it made during the late 90s/early 2000s lol, wish I had been older to experience it more and appreciate Timbaland's dominance in the music world.
The music was awesome, so was the hype. 97 would say, "dropping whoever's new track Friday at 9pm" or whatever, so ppl looked forward to hearing these classics for the 1st time. Much more than than today's era.
Jaz-O's verse was beautiful , The technical part, and where he positioned his rhymes at , hearing a skilled veteran Emcee rhyme is priceless! CRUSHED THE WHOLE SONG WITH JUST A SHORT VERSE ,LONG LIVE THE LYRICIST!
@saints0931 Because he didn't want to partake in the rituals required to be famous in the music industry, thus he is only a footnote in Hip Hop history for mentoring Jay when he was younger.
jkolaWOLE headesk! Timabalnd made this beat. he Jay-z Even says at 0:05 "jigga man, Timbaland" and on the explicit album version says "Timbaland shit". Plus, Timabland sampled portions of "cheers 2 U" By Playa, which is another beat he made
Cmon stop with the everloving “uNdErRaTeD” bullshit🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️he’s literally one of the most famous, highest rated rappers of all time, just shut up man…
@@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 🤷🏾♀️
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.
Jay-Z is one of the best rapers ever. Hes in the top 5 for sheezy, Always loved this guy. Jazz-O was the Originator of course. Dope shit. 41 years old and still loving this classic shit
Do. You. Understand the. Meaning of what he's saying??? Basically. He's. Letting it. Be. Known. That. He's a. Self-proclaim. Lyrical. God That. Why. He. Call himself. Hova But. The. TRUTH IS, GOD. GAVE. him . WISDOM. AND. he's. Spinning. IT. Into. A. Lyrical. Method
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.
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.
Jay z and timbaland were ahead of there time. The style in which jay raps and the beat ..This rhytm/ flow and tempo of this song could have been rerelelseaed in 2014-19.

looking Amil did slay this hook and adlibs her voice was phenomenal Jay and Jay and Jaz equally destroyed these verses Jaz did this effortlessly dude underrated.
Yes kids watching in 2019 and beyond, ALL late 90's videos were like this. Ridiculous over usage of slow motion, Dutch angle camera shots in every scene, and some one walking slowly towards or away from the camera forlornly. The music was GOOOOD
Music videos barely exist anymore, besides nobody wanna see abunch of niggaz wearing skinny jeans and gay apparel, while overusing autotune mumblin some trash barz soundin rediculous lol (new generation)😩😣
Jay-Z really owes Amil big time. She slayed the hooks on myltiple songs in early days of his career. He should give her a bag full of cash as a thank you gift for helping launching his career. Without her Jay-Z would've probably been a nobody
They say the same about Foxy Brown. They forget he wrote every lyric and adlib, and because he repeated it with Amil, proves he never needed Fox, neither Amil. JAY-Z should be studied in marketing, he knows how to put the pieces at his disposable and compose a viable product, like no other rapper in history. All who say he needed Dame Dash or Kanye West or Beyonce or whoever, just don't understand and appreciate his genius. He had friends in the industry, DJ Clark Kent and Irv Gotti, but chose to launch his career with Dame Dash, because he saw a value he could exploit in Dame Dash''s crew, The Best Out. Their style and popularity in the party scene in NY fit perfectly with Jay's Jiggaman era.

Man I love hip hop because it's just recycled music so you never lose the roots. Ab-Soul - Terroists Threats "Spit your game, spit your flow, can't fuck with this top dawg shit though." Is obviously taken from the end of this song. Hip hop is so beautiful man. I'm blessed to be apart of such a great culture. I can only dream of making songs as good as those two..
Don't make me laugh! Havoc, Premier & Pete Rock all make better more diverse beats while still retaining their style, Timbaland beats are all generic and sound the same. (except for maybe "Big Pim-in")
none of those guys are more "Diverse" than timbo you have to be kidding. Love all those producers btw but they all make the same Generic Boom Bap sound that really only sounded good in the 90s. Guys like Timbo and Dre (even tho he has a million ghost producers lol) are much more diverse than the guys you listed.

timbaland is serious, best producer all time. no question...
Dan S All day long. No one touches him
Don't make me laugh! Havoc, Premier & Pete Rock all make better more diverse beats while still retaining their style, Timbaland beats are all generic and sound the same. (except for maybe "Big Pim-in")
none of those guys are more "Diverse" than timbo you have to be kidding. Love all those producers btw but they all make the same Generic Boom Bap sound that really only sounded good in the 90s. Guys like Timbo and Dre (even tho he has a million ghost producers lol) are much more diverse than the guys you listed.
