[@hip-hopfan9153]

Maybe one of the realest songs of all time but best sample imo is Dont Cry-J Dilla.

[@BaseSecretaStudios]

Nas ofcourse iconic

[@stevesiri9700]

This song never gets old!!! Classic!! 👍👍

DJ Cut Chemist had a mixtape where he had this playing at a pitch of like -3 and it sounds so dope.

[@freddypain5928]

This word play fucking crazy man

[@dmercy8477]

This is still one of the best hip hop songs of all time and the 2nd version on reasonable Doubt is even better. Though this played a role in the Nas beef and he does has 50% ownership of this but this is still one of the most important hip hop songs ever made. I don’t care about this hate over a beef that happened 20 years ago. Nas won definitely but it’s been dead for over 17 years and both are now friends.

This song was what let me know Jay Z really was a drug dealer or was heavily around drug dealers. His slang and the way he talks in it you can almost smell the coke.

[@PasteurizedLettuce]

For me it was the fact that the feds pursued him for yeeeears after he was rapping lol

Those bars in that sequence went over so many heads. He said “ my aint life and rosy but I rolls with it. My mind was fine until the dough hit it , and told me that the Mo’ did it, and now this Kosher shit it’s so Hasidic, I blow a digit on a Diamond in a minute but no bitches. Thats the entire scheme.

Eminem fanboyz really is delusional. Jay Z is that dude when it comes 2 lyrical abilities and he spits that hard shit too that we all can relate too. Give 1 verse/album of Em being relatable ???? Em raps bunch of nothingness put together well

[@hankhill2154]

@@infectedmuhrom6039 I feel like when Em focuses on rhyming he raps well put together nothingness..but when he sacrifices rhymes for a story or message he puts out gold Difficult,Legacy,Mockingbird, Headlights, Cleaning out my Closet, Toy Soldier etc... And to the dude above, Jay Zs like ain't simple- it's like hes masterfully reading a poem over a beat.
