FIRST TIME HEARING- Jay-Z - So Ghetto (REACTION)

[@biggcebo]

The key to Jayz is his ability to pick a single part of the beat and ride that element plus the depth of his vocabulary.

[@jermaineartis4323]

Right!...The man can ride the hell out of a high hat beat! That's why he says he has so many different flows. Due to the beats being different many ways, it causes the flow to be different when chasing the high hat.

[@Mic-100]

Cut the shit

[@Dmaj089]

​@@jermaineartis4323he even slows his flow, doesn't chase the hi hat every time. He has a different flow every song, can go slow on a faster beat too.

[@jermaineartis4323]

@@Dmaj089 Yes, you are correct. Of course not every time.

[@TheKushSkywalker]

In the world of Hip Hop, Primo is a national treasure!

[@CoHeirMultimedia]

TRUTH!!!!!!!

[@yiorgo187]

This beat indeed was so gutta! Primo and Jay both killed it!

[@sab1b2b8]

This why Jay-Z is THE GOAT! Period!

[@CharlieWingate1]

You can love me or hate me.... JAY Z!!!!!!

[@musiqologist]

Preemo and RZA are like neck and neck. It's hard to choose one over the other. Both were insanely influential on the culture.

[@jamalevans1574]

Hmmm preem had a much longer run tho

[@keithmackenzie7680]

They’re really interesting to compare too, because they both have very personal styles. You hear one of their beats, you know exactly who made. Only producers I can think of kinda like that are the Neptunes or maybe Kanye. But even Kanye you could mistake for Just Blaze or someone else.

[@jameshorton5395]

Premi one of the greatest, but rza I'd jus different.

[@gochasingwaterfalls9970]

Honestly Jay Z’s first 8 albums might be the greatest run in hip hop, I’m not really feeling much since the Black album but man those first 8 are consistent quality

[@marnik261196]

American Gangster Is a masterpiece

[@OllyJoe-fh7dc]

4:44 is nuts

[@latinshine1]

Primo murdered this, and Jay-Z did what he's suppose to do with a beat this fire!

[@RAA10382]

One of my favorite Jay-Z songs. 🔥🔥🔥

[@noizynaybah5827]

DJ Premier is a skyscraper in hip hop. Defined the Eastcoast Sound in the 90s..... the Rza from Wu-Tang Clan is another one.... but J dilla from your town... Detroit..... SMH is a mothaf**kin God

[@brifo7334]

You ain't lying, bro👊🏿💯

[@lethaldose2000]

JIGGAAAAAAA!!!! Once again. 40 summers deep and Jigga still delivers. His flow and word play are SO STRONG like some 80 proof alchol. PLus his style evolves every 3-4 years. Which is pretty much unheard of. He just needs producers to give him that fresh sound and he can paint a picture for all of us to see. That's why he's the JIGGA MAN.

[@SatanDynastyKiller]

40 summers? 😂😂😂 nope.

[@No_Hookshot]

Primo always cookin up that product in the kitchen. Elevates every verse 3x with the production. Legend.

[@inph2218]

The reason why I appreciate these videos is because these are the SAME reactions I had when hearing these for the first time growing up. This was Junior or Senior year in high school for me.

[@shareefspencer1469]

The sample is from a 1983 song by Ennio Morricone. Sporco Ma Distinto !!

[@effu2]

this is one of Jay Z's best songs, the last verse is probably his best verse ever

[@jlw7787]

Now you youngsters know what we was feelin in the 90s. Just Banger after Banger for 10-15 yrs straight. All while chilling at On any given night, alongside celebrities, club kids, hip hop heads, models, banjees, body boys, Wall Street suits, and the bridge-and-tunnel set at legendary nightclubs like Tunnel, Roxy, Palladium, Club Expo, and Webster Hall , Limelight and don't forget all little hip hop lounges on random nights and Grants Tomb after work for the post up.

the hook on this is one of my favorite... In typical Premier fashion with cuts from older tracks mixed in. This is incredible

[@buddah1221]

Jay was content being a dealer but Biggie a nd and DJ Clark Kent and a few others really pushed him to pursue music and the rest as they say is history

[@wilsonreserve6217]

Premo is the true GOAT hip hop producer TO ME. I've felt that way since back when they were making new GangStarr albums. Love a lot of other producers, but Premier was just on another level.

[@jdigital79]

the fact you showed love for Primo from the jump ..props young'n ..keep doing your thing fam.

[@antlove8723]

Peace King. Peace to the Family. Loved the reaction to this one💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@zncuentertainment712]

Premo is far and away the greatest producer in my opinion. No other producer has had the consistency he's had. RZA had an amazing run but Premo is still dropping incredible tracks to this day, he's been on a 30 year run.

[@olschoolTonyCarter]

What about Pete Rock, Eric Sermon, or Havoc?

[@zncuentertainment712]

@@olschoolTonyCarter I'm a big fan of all three of them but none of them have been as consistent as Premo.

[@dmercy8477]

Premo is one the best producers in hip hop. Fire ass beat. People can say what they want about Jay. Overrated, Trash, Biter whatever you want to call him. He still has some fire songs and I can’t deny his talent though I’m not a fan. Still a legend.

[@hous2tim964]

In those days Dj Premier said that when Nas or Jay Z called him for a beat he knew he had to come up with a powerful beat. But when he worked with Guru (rest in peace), he could experiment. And he produced some amazing beats for these two legends.

[@Yoloslides]

Around this time a lot of people were saying Jay got soft from being rich so long. He started dropping songs like this as if to say he's still hood at the core, this was a response to those comments. just like when people started calling him old and washed up he responded with "30-something"

[@lethaldose2000]

Ahmad, you Idolize DJ Premier as one of the best to ever do it, and rightfully so. ----- Funny thing is you haven't even dug into the best songs in his production catalog. You have to do a Primo production feature as the only way to get to many of his classic, since he's works with so many different artist. Let me give you a sample list. ----- "Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers", "1,2 Pass it", "You can't stop the Prophet", "Invasion", "Revenge of the Prophet", "Speak Ya Clout", "Stay Tuned", "I'm the man", "P is Free" (Reprise from Boom Bap).

[@jayc5756]

Oh yes. I was waiting for you or others to get to this song. This was a good Jay cut that played a little on the radio but wasn't a single like that.

[@yen4407]

[@alexbracetti2569]

Bruh, if you love Premier's work that much, you have to review Group Home's Livin' Proof album. It's considered his greatest production work and magnus opus.

[@djblades76]

[@jayoh2k]

My favorite is "the Actual" by All City..

[@LuisDiaz-qt3qq]

Premo by far my favorite producer. He rocks that gutty East Coast beats and he's from Houston. Check Come Clean by Jeru the Damaja. One if the illest Premo beats

[@thatsamshow]

DJ Premier is just amazing. You're right when you say anything with "Produced by DJ Premier" is going to be a nasty beat. It's just hit after hit, for large artists, and many lesser known artists that he's collaborated with.

[@anthonyclark9441]

And to think, he actually wound up popping Bottles on the White House Lawn.

[@ryanharris9674]

Primo went wild on this production. I can rap this whole track. But please do a reaction to Just a week ago!

[@theoneaboveall6768]

There are no I repeat no rapper dead or alive that got more flows then Jay. Big was the closest. When I say flow it’s the ability to spit fast slow sequence unsequenced . Big could spit fast but it wasn’t as natural as Jay the rest yes.Jay got all the flows . Again I never said lyric I SAID FLOWS. the double entendres the subliminal none are better then Jay dead or alive. Jay is the elite of this. Eminem got word play but not the double entendres like Jay. I’m not even going to talk about the message. Only pac , x had a stronger deliver because it felt like it came from deeper then their soul. Jay is the complete package as an mc basically.

[@Alivirgo8.24]

Was actually listening to this album the other day and thinking about how good Jay's body of work is when this is considered one of his lesser albums. 90% of other rappers could release this album and it would be one of their best.

Dilla, Pete Rock, DJ Premier & 9th Wonder are the "unofficial" Mount Rushmore of making Hip Hop beats. Honorable mentions who other ppl say should be on there is Dr. Dre, RZA, Madlib, Kanye, Nujabes (LoFi Japanese), Havoc, Alchemist, Just Blaze etc...etc.... I HIGHLY recommend you react to more 9th Wonder beats though. 9th Wonder will knock your socks off AND he teaches COLLEGE courses @ both Harvard & Duke University On Music History & Producing!
