“When Puff was in that tub spilling Mo’, I was at my video, Cris on a speedboat. In my Lifetime, go do your research, St. Thomas my n*gga, that was me first” - Jay-Z

[@ohdagee]

His words materialized through hard work and patience. This song here defines the law of attraction. Stay focused on your purpose, kings! If Hov made it, we could too. Word is bond!

[@kingsleyseletisha8419]

Word is bond. ❤️

[@angelomanzi9272]

Law of attraction is a bunch of nonsense. If you put your heart and soul into what you do, you will get far. That’s not law of attraction… God gave you gifts to use. What is real is the fact that you have a creator, who loved you so much he died for you to redeem you from your sins and restore your relationship with God. Whether you want to accept it or not, your life has an eternal purpose. A purpose that goes on beyond this temporary world. So yeah, stay focused on your REAL purpose in this earth… and you’ll make it far. For what profits a man to gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?

This aint 1080 its the same quality it was on someone elses channel like 10 years ago..

[@okamifan1productions458]

IIRC this was shot in movie quality, thats why it made the jump so well. Priority pushed Jay HARD... He just didn't stick fast enough, and the idiots dropped him from the label. I bet someone got fired for that colossal fuckup.

Happy Birthday Jay-Z

[@DTecksVision]

Jay Z is a backpack/boom bap/ lyrical miracle rapper that was able to adapt to the times musically throughout the years...that's what makes him one of the best rappers ever!

[@jordandavis3867]

Jay z is not a back pack rapper. The man was a drug dealer who spoke about the fast life....and started to rap about business and making money in the rap game. Back pack rappers are considered nerd rap, which is cool but thatwas never Jay z lane. That's more Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West type ish.

[@DTecksVision]

@@jordandavis3867 I think that can fall under backpack...maybe conscious rap is a better term to use then

[@3lancerofficialmaybe871]

@@jordandavis3867 Ye as a backpacker rapper? Nah.

[@rastaman305]

@@3lancerofficialmaybe871 even Ye recently let it be known that he wasn’t even really into backpack he was just faking it

[@okamifan1productions458]

Lupe is more concious/political rap. Backpack rap is a derogatory umbrella term for mid 2000's boom bap.

SO MANY TIMES MY FATHER HAS COME DOWN FOR ME. JUST TO TAKE THE PAIN OUT OF MY BODY. AND ALSO OUT OF MY HEART. NOT ONE TIME DID I EVER FEEL THAT I WAS REMAINING ON THIS EARTH ANY MOMENT OF ANY OF THOSE TIMES. IT WAS SIMPLY AND THAT IS NO MORE. NO MORE OF ANY WORIES. NO MORE IF ANY PAIN. NO MORE OF ANY REASON. FOR ANY THING. JUST SIMPLY NO MORE OF IT. JUST HIS PRESENCE OF PURE POWER LEAVES NO DOUBT THAT ONE DAY IT WILL ALL BE NO MORE. JOY. JUST PURE JOY. JUST AS MY LIFE IS BEING POURED BACK INTO MY BODY. THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF HIM. AS YOU TRULY DO SCREAM IN HARROR. JUST PURE JOY AS YOU LET OUT ALL PAIN AND FRUSTRATIONS. HIS LOVE ALONE IS UNBEARABLE. AND TRULY UNBREAKABLE. THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING. OF ALL THINGS. I PRAY JUST TO CONTINUE TO BE A BREATH IF LIFE. AS I CONTINUE TO TAKE ALL OF MINE.
