Press F for respect for mase in the chat 😂😂😂😂💯
F… I always loved Ma$e flow
Mase got at him on that 112 R&B song feature though. Lol 😂
112 - Love Me
Song so 🔥, I think I may play it right now tbh. FR. Just Mase verse didn't belong...cause it didn't fit the topic of what they was singing about. Lol 😂
@@camronshean1758 Lol 😂
Listen to " diary of a madman " by gravediggaz , ( rza group) if u haven't already . U won't be disappointed fam! Trust me !
Whoever hating on this album I think needs to step back and listen again… this was the last album where Jay was top notch lyrically. Yes it has weak points ( girls like, sunshine) mid points (rap game/crack game, Face off) but the highs man they are some of the best of his career
Conversational jay is jay at his most lethal
You're so right because he's so intelligent so when he's doing this and dissing someone it's deadly
Man he destroyed Mase in this but Mase said this actually happened he came around Jay and Dame and they laughed at his watch 😂😂😂
Mase destroyed him in Do what playas do
And he was the first one with bust down rolex
@@haydotzero3372 Those ain’t Rolex diamonds/ wtf you done to that?
Yea around that time Jay and not many other people had ever seen a bust down Rolex which is common now with rappers. Ma$e got a Rolex from Puff and covered it in diamonds. Jay saw that and was like “the fuck you done to that?”. Hov is a big watch guy and along with not ever seeing it before probably thought Murda was messing with the integrity of the watch.
@@friendswitdadealermakes tons of sense 💯
Jay on that lyrical ability! Nobody can flip words like him..all without a pen too!
Beside Papoose
Only rapper to rewrite history without a pen
@@bigb2494 Jay Z wrote this album on paper. He didn't do that until after he met Big. False. There's a rapper name supernatural that freestyles and never writes ever. Before Jay Z. I can name more.
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 first I was merely quoting a bar from Death of Auto-Tune. There's dozens of producers and rappers who all say Jay never writes anything down, including No ID who produced that track, which was a skill he picked while being on the street hustling. Even Mr Cee, Big Daddy Kane's dj said when Biggie saw that Jay didn't write down any lyrics that inspired him to do the same. As far as anyone else, it very well may be, but it's not up to me to research a claim that you made. However I did include a link to an interview with DJ Clark Kent who first got Big and Jay together, which he says who did what first.

“Ain’t no platinum in those Cartiers switch yo frames” This is the song that really turned Detroit out onto Cartiers. This was 1997.
Not at all.. Plus Detroiters preferred the wood frames
People make the mistake of not understanding what Jay Z’s talking about because a lot of it goes over their heads. Jay is the most lyrical rapper ever.
Jay at a graduate degree hip hop level, Lupe Fiasco studied him and Lupe teaches at MIT now.
Thank you for opening the young cats to these classics that you’re doing bruh!
Him and Wayne have the god tier metaphors
Right! Like that nothing to lose line
@@etotheipi42Even Lupe will laugh at your remark, explain to you why you’re wrong and my guess is you’d both laugh together in the end
Jay is on the level of Nas and Biggie dude
Dig deeper in the catalog
You don't have to be philosophical to be lyrical...
Jay has all the GOAT attributes
Stop it he is not on Nas or Bigs level lyrically.
@@mjperkins5400🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mjperkins5400He actually is though. His subject matter is just over people's heads. It's funny how fans say he's not on BIG and Nas level But BIG respected his flow and Nas know how nice Jay is
@@joshlawill Jay said he wish he could be on same lyrical sphere as Talib Kweli. But he has to make pop music. Dude is a pop star.
@@mjperkins5400 you need to listen to that verse again 🤣
"Origin-AL Jiggas the future flow digit-AL" just the way he pronunciates his rhymes into his flow pure genius
I swea to god my favor rapper
"It's On" Jay Z ft Beanie Sigel 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Definitely was another fire one
97 Jay is my favorite version of Jay-Z. This is not his best album but as an MC he was at his zenith. With the Hard Knock Life album and afterwards, he was still sharp, but he dumbed it down.
In my lifetime volume 1 is fire I don't know why people hate it
I think most people rate this album out of the Vol series. Vol 3 for me is one of Hov's weakest albums, never enjoyed the filler on this.
Jay is prof that flow is very important in real hip hop.
Don't follow the flow, be the flow 😎
His delivery is so polished from the 1st album to the last.
It’s crazy Jay didn’t write nun of his songs all off the top 🔥🔥
This is like Jordan winning 10 straight Scoring titles …. Just not fair
Jay did put us common folk on platinum. Lol. He also had brothers transition from over sized jerseys and Tall Ts to button up shirts in the clubs.....and he was the first I remembered to have ever really used the word swag. More of an influencer than people give him credit for.
Yea we sold our gold for platinum then the price of gold eclipsed platinum
@@bamnjphoto lol...yeah! When I bought my skinny lil wedding band 10 years ago, I was like 'how much'?? 😁
The second verse was for Mase. Good reaction, fam.
I’m still waiting for “The Streets Is Watching” and “Where I’m From” reactions my Brother. Two of the realist songs HOV ever did!!!
I have the VHS and DVD. On the VHS the main difference is the nudity. The scene with the 2 chicks with the Christión song showed everything.... 😆.
No doubt, "where I'm from" easily one of his realest track.
@@GOILL yeah, that use to be my soft p0rn joint back in the day. 🤣🤣🤣
Allure is dope too
City is mine, Imaginary player.. shit that whole album was iight
Jay z “what more can I say” is one of the greatest songs ever made. It’s on the black album when he retired from rap. Check it out.
Yes please do What more can I say soon..
“Retired”
@@robertmatthews9650 lol right. we knew his ass was coming back. just wanted to lay up with Bey for a while... 😂
@@dawb86 😂
The "your single was 99 cents, mine, 4 bucks" line always kills me. To put it in context when you'd go to the record store to buy your music, there was a section of "singles". The singles were "the hits" on the radio or had a video for a song. For the most part, they'd range from $2.99 - $4.99, depending on the artist & how many other songs were on the tape or cd. But there were those artists that weren't really big enough to demand that profit margin so, they practically had to give their shit away. LOL
LOL 😂
He was dissing mase as well lol
@@kingday2424 facts
For those saying the album trash, there's too many bside bangers on here for that. This album gets a bad rap for really 3 songs: the city is mine, the joint with Kim, and sunshine.
I was one of those guys who hated those songs back in the day but now that I’m older the whole album is nostalgic and City Is Mine and Sunshine get bumped too. That Lil Kim joint is still butt though. But yeah, this album has Who You Wit and Where I’m From so can’t skip it.
Too many fluffy tracks. But there is some heat on this album. You most love me still makes me reflect
@@shaftpunk84 A Million And One, You Must Love Me, Streets Is Watching, Friend Or Fie ‘98, Real Niggas with Too Short
Agree, those were the tracks I didn't like. Still don't really like the Biggie collab, but respect the lyrical quality.
@@tywayne3 are u talking bout Brooklyns Finest from Reasonable Doubt which is one of the greatest back and forth songs in hip hop?
He’s talking about Mase and yes Jay z IS LYRICAL.
My man just said Jay Z is on the level of Nas and Biggie lyrically. Loooool. Not only is he on their level, he is possibly more complete and therefore better. He has wordplay, double entendres, lyrical ability, great production. He is number 1 in my opinion.
He has a lot of substance to what he says. Always loved Hov. Crazy how so many hate on him.
The "hate" was deeper than his skills, which I think most acknowledge. It was moreso how he went about gaining his success, from both a philosophical and a literal standpoint lol...
Jay-Z is in my top 5 but he has little substance in his raps. Pretty words fo’ sho. His flow is crazy and he’s very lyrical but substance? Nah.
@@MaryLou913 I agree with you, I think I was meaning density, he expands on and says a lot in a little. But it's usually pretty trivial / predictable things he's spoke on throughout his career. Money, Business/Street politics. etc.
@@MaryLou913talking about hustling is massive substance
People love to compare Nas and Jay, and I get why, but they're just two different artists. Nas is undisputed GOAT to me but I'll never take away from how monumentally important Jay's contribution is to hip-hop. This man just raps and brags different. It's different, because you just know it's real.
Word what makes jay good is his flow and how he be saying his lyrics
and what he says...
His wordplay
It’s a great balance across the board.
He's talking about the whole rap game of fake players. When Jay first got on, he was already rich due to his drug sales past. Him and Dame built Rocafella off of those funds. So when he first started politicking with rappers in the game, he was surprised at how fake a lot of them were, because they weren't flossin' and drippin' with ice and dough like they were on their videos and what not. He would build with them and would be the only one who could afford Cristal or buy out the bar. He said this when he first dropped Reasonable Doubt in an interview once. This was before rappers were getting BIG money like they are today. In the '90s, a lot of rappers got jerked, but you couldn't tell from their songs.
As someone who was there, singles were 99cents. And his was 100 percent four bucks. No lies told. A album was $8. His single was half that. Smh
to me, this right here was PEAK Jay-Z. This funnily enough is my favorite joint of his out of his entire catalog. Vol 1/Streets is Watching Jay-Z was his best work.
I’ll never understand the jay z haters. HOV is HARD.
I'm sorry but Jay and Nas are on the same lyrical level. These two dudes are the evolution of Kane, Rakim, and KRS
Facts bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Of ALL the Jay Z songs, this one is so nostalgic to me. I remember listening 🎶 to this song chillin on the benches on the block back in the days in Shaolin, NYC. Dope Jay Z when he was that Dude.
It's something about records like this, Crooklyn Dodgers '95 "Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers" or Pun "You Came Up" that hit you with that feeling for some reason. The vibe in them is just kind of gone in this era now, reminds you of old NYC.....
STREETS IS WATCHIN MOVIE!!
He was just flexing real hard on this shit, classic!
Jay Z lucky me & You must love me
He talking bout mase. And all the fake rappers acting like drug dealers. He really was … second it was Jay that made platinum popular… why he said it. He was wearing it before he even blew up.
Mind u this album is from 97
Vol 1 is one of my favorite Jay albums. Please do You Must Love Me next off this same album
He was dissing Mase alledgedly but check his song You Must Love Me featuring Kelly Price
Jay is a conversationalist when he raps, it’s just different then a Nas. Jay can’t really personify, or delve as deep as Nas but he is number 1 at what he does and he is another Genius.
Story about the platinum is he was wearing platinum before rappers new what it was. They also thought is was silver
One of my favorite hov songs
Such an underrated jam.
This my wife’s ringtone!!! He’s the GOAT
“Them Shit’s Even Got Leathers!?”🔥😆🤣😂🔥
"Do them shits even got leather" 😅
Im loco with dough papo
What people don't know, he wrote that song about himself. Kareem Biggs Burke interview was removed from You Tube about how he showed Jay his first platinum Rollie, Rolls-Royce and Crystal in California and Dame was there to confirm it. Next thing I know, You Tube went through and removed a lot of videos detailing people real life stories and replaced them with people lying in interviews. 🤷
Maybe the old videos were lying to your small brain
"If it's no manicures on board, switch ya plane" 👏🏽
This was my favorite song on that album. Highschool yrs
Jay is on ALL of their levels lyrically
From what I heard.. This was addressed to Ma$e Bethea 😆
Research: (Conspiracy Theory 😄) Ma$e came out with "Lookin' At Me" 10/28/97 & Jay had an response.. 11/4/97 "Imaginary Players" 💯 (Conspiracy Theories 😂)
97's Range Rover's.. The 4.0 vs The 4.6 HSE (the time.. 40k vs 130k Range.. Do THEM shit come in leather?!? 😂)
Although I prefer nas to say jay-z isn’t lyrical is crazy. Some say #1
You want lyrical, I DARE you to review Jay's Lyrical Exercise...and hold on to your seat
That 4.0 and 4.6 I believe are range rovers with the 4.6 being the fully loaded. Jay Z is a hustler period. What he did with crack he did with rap, sold units. The man told u “I dummed down for my audience to double my dollars” always been business minded. It’s not a coincidence that he is where he is today
no no what he ACTUALLY did was drink devil urine and sacrifice aaliyah to the klingons in exhange for riches!! /s
Facts
@@juelz3451 Nas literally raps about drinking his own s*men and ur!ne in his song You Da Man (Original)
Edit: but I did catch the satire in your comment tho
A good Jay z song nobody mentions is some people hate off the blueprint 2 produced by Kanye
Jay Z was talking to Mase...he sent several shots at him on that Album. I'm a old head so I was there during the time but you can Google it.
Fam you HAVE to do “Where I’m From” if you haven’t already by Jay. Same album. Audio not video.
The Rolex line was for Mase
"aint no manicures on board? switch ya plane" 🥶
He was talking bout Mase in this song
Streets is watching movie this part is my favorite
People don’t react to these type of jayz songs. Great job
Poor mase lol. But yea this is my favorite version, that vol 1/clue tape era jay. All kinds of problems.
This whole album smacks
He rhymed CRITICAL WITH SIT IT DOWN…come on man! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
When you get a chance, check out the Streets is Watching movie by Jay Z. There is a video for this tune.
Those aint Rolex diamonds wtf you done to that💯💥
He was talking about Mase🤣
One of my favourite songs
He was talking about Camron.Czmron did a interview recently saying he had some color diamonds in his watch and Jay saw it and thought it was wack lol
Lyrically hov is the goat
About to hit play, I know you are going to love this. Enjoy!!!
Dope, think this was one of the first tracks on the album. Was a good tone setter for the album and transition from Reasonable Doubt. Told you Jay 'version 1.5' was dope. Lol.
Off top I think it's track 4
@@Vinnyhiphop732 probably so, I probably thought it was earlier because I'm sure I skipped to it quite often. Lol
1.5 is accurate
Jay saw Mase out somewhere one time back when he was just getting started, and saw his Rolex flooded with diamonds and thought it was fake !! But what Jay didn’t realize is that Puff & Mase was the first in the game to take they shit to the jeweler and get it bust down !!
You have to review that whole album “in my life time”
Ma$e watch wasn’t fake he was just the first to bust down his watch and use aftermarket diamonds which is what every rapper is doing right now
Yo King. After you review this album. React to his mini movie Streets is Watching. Brings alot of these tracks to life.
When he’s says what’s the difference between a 4.0 and 4.6 he’s talking about the top of the line Range Rover which was an insane vehicle black then that not many could afford, the 4.0 was the basic model
This Is One My Favorite Songs From Jay. The 2nd Verse Was At Mase and The 5 Series Is The Benz 500 Drove Smooth
Jay has always been a witty lyricist. You gotta go beyond the wordplay with him sometime and just connect the dots and decode what he spits
He was talking about the rapper Mase…And mase responded on the 112 song “Love Me”
I love this album bro do the review….. I think this was a Mase diss
pre-black album jay -z is the best jay-z
Imaginary players one of my top10 jay songs
Needless to say, it’s time for a Blueprint review if you haven’t already
Jay z - dear summer
Can't remember if you've done Dear Summer, Where I'm From, or La La La.
Also, Volume III and Roc La Familia full album reviews.
…Did you say Jay-Z lyrical ability isn’t up to par to Nas or Biggie?…🤦🏾♂️🤣…Blasphemy💅🏾
He’s 23 bro he’s only repeating what he sees all over internet which endless jayz hate
Mase admitted he was talkin' about him. He knew it at the time.
bro sorry to tell you but as a lyrical miracle rap fan... JAY-Z is more more moreeee lyrical than NAS. NAS is a story teller. JAY-Z is LYRICAL...
Dont blame the youth
His just repeating what he sees online
Great video. Get deeper into his catalogue and you'll see his lyrical ability. He's up there. Better than Pun imo. Pun's good but Hov's a beast. It's Jay, Big and Nas for me. Hov was Big's favourite MC.
Peace King. Peace to the Family. This my shit!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jay Z,
"Money Ain't a Thing"
(feat. Jermaine Dupri)
🔥🔥🔥
This album is a classic.
one of my favorite jay tracks but this album as a whole is probably a 7/10
Mase is who he talking about it’s a low key diss about Artists in the the industry
At around 4:26 you asked who he was talking about; Imaginary Players is a diss track aimed at Mase.
You have to watch The Steets Is Watching soundtrack album with the videos
what makes this even crazier is the roc crew literally got their buzz by shitting on rappers for real. They were buying out bars when no one knew who they were, embarrassing rappers who were talking about money in their songs....to their faces
Glad somebody reacted to my all time favorite Jay-Z track I subscribed ASAP just for that bro.
He was dissing Mase on this. Him and Mase had a lil back and forth in 97-98.
Here is a great opportunity to hear 2 great songs feat Too short.
Real N****z - on this Album.
A Week Ago- which is the ultimate snitch song.
Both 🔥🔥
