How Jay-Z Really Made It Out The Streets To Starting Roc-A-Fella

[@yusefimmanuel6377]

1993-1995 was so epic!!!!!! so much talent started to rise up…that's why I will always say that 1993-2008 was the best years of hip hop ever

[@willmidgette9079]

Dope bro. I love it. Great job. Im ready for pt 2

[@memodashdigital]

Much appreciated bro! It’s coming soon.

[@040connexion]

When?

[@diontaedaughtry974]

This is amazing. The animation and storytelling is fantastic.

[@lerenzoroberts3663]

You are dope my boy great content...ohh yeah

[@Leon-talks_TV]

Wow, I never knew Jay Z sampled a Tupac song while Pac was alive. I'm guessing he was somewhat of a fan of Pac's music back then. This was a good insight 👍🏽

[@michaelpratchett4415]

Not “somewhat” he was a fan like everyone else at the time which is evident in his influence. Shawn even covered “Me and Me Girlfriend” (which he butchered) fully knowing Pac ain’t fcku with him.

[@whooked]

producers the one who samples .

[@imdamuthafukkinking1]

mann, they all were lol GOAT

[@757_Al]

No cap me and my homies met Jay in Va Beach back in 97. Right after Reasonable doubt. He was cool as hell! Respect to Hov!

[@VinceBond-ky2zt]

Wow a youtube commenter that isnt hating on jayz wow

[@DialloMoore503]

Thanks for this? People only see the success, and not the struggle to get there. Being told “NO” is common when pursuing your dreams. Don’t give up!

[@jac91ify]

Great in-depth details and depiction/animation. Can you do how Three 6 Mafia started in a future video? Another idea is Mobb Deep.

It was Biggs who came up with the name rocafella he said it himself

Didn’t Jay drop out of high school and begin to sell drugs with Dehaven or was he in his early 20s when he started selling drugs?

[@alwaystheone]

Must talking about the Washington DC area because I know it is not Baltimore. Two different cities because DC to Brooklyn is a 5 hour drive Baltimore to Brooklyn is around 3 hours depends on traffic.

Stop comparing Baltimore with DC and Virginia! There is no relation and it is a hating beef between the areas Baltimore is not DC and Virginia. Baltimore really has a better connection with Philadelphia and New York City so I wouldn't isolate those areas son.
