"Assume a virtue if you have not..." Very important for Success in life. Jay is the Goat for being able to effortlessly weave deep philosophical quotes into his rhymes.

2:46 is one of the best shots I have seen. It shows the compassion that the guy has for the kid, exhibiting the classic "neighborhood kid" relationship. The man even shrugs, as to say "Come on dude, you think I'm going to make you give me back this little amount of change?". He's just giving the kid a little pocket money, but for the kid that little amount of money is like winning the lottery.

[@dylanmorgan2752]

You shouldn’t just assume somethings deep from the way it looks, otherwise everyone would believe Xxx’s lyrics and music is actually deeper than it is. But yes you’re right that it’s mainly the flowy piano instrumental with the typically Jayz excellent film making, as the lyrics of the song are a nostalgic rose tinted look back for Jay on his younger life in Marcy projects and growing up around street dealers, and then later becoming one. But the video itself with the overwatching eye of the police floodlight, kind of shows an alternative meaning to the song on top of how history can’t be repaired only the future can, and how Jayz was never born one, but bc of where he was born he’s almost destined to become an American Gangster, as Denzel is also reffed in the lyrics. Also the floodlight is taken to be seen as the lens that the police and mainstream media might see dealers or black people generally as subjective and very concentrated on one aspect, being close minded. Yes the quality

[@dylanmorgan2752]

Entire album was brilliant, as I’ve personally never seen such a personification of white and black, and culture all wrapped up into one rooftop and one police helicopter in any music video, well done to Jay z.

[@shotbyfabi]

Sometimes I listen to this song and think it's the most beautiful Hip-Hop song ever. But never hold on to the thought for too long because most people wouldn't even list it in Jay's top 20 songs. But it might be. It's perfect. From the lyrics, the story, the history, the references, the culture, the bars, the production, the chorus and the singing, even the singing in the outro is perfect. "You couldn't change me if I wanted to. I'm a take this with me to the moon."

[@chineduonyeoziri7408]

That's the beauty of Jay z. He's been in his prime since he came out in 96. It's hard to tell when he was at his peak and when he was at a low. He says his worst album is volume 1 In my life time, but it's on that same album that you have tracks like "where I'm from", "a million and one questions", "streets is watching". His other bad album according to critics is "kingdom come", but that album has great tracks like "lost ones", "show me what you got", "minority report" and others. The man has atleast five classic albums, atleast because personally I think it's more than that.

Jay Z inspired so many generations. He's one of the few rappers/storytellers in history to do so. Marcy me 🌹

Who did they simple this from

[@rsimoes38]

quarteto 1111, a portuguese 60s psychadelic rock band. they were shut down several times by the dictatorship of the time because of the controversial topics on their songs.. probably the reason they didnt make it very big

The lifestyles portrayed all lead to early death... Indeed it was a scope into it. People I grew up with who aren't even 50 yet - look like ghosts. Sad.

Nah to many washed souls a lost generation only understand violence and drugs they ignore knowledge, that’s why this video doesn’t have so many views not to many can understand the art of jay z

[@caveman9816]

Jay z’s songs are too deep for most people to understand. But since people can understand, they realize how amazing his songs are

[@brianrelation633]

“Y’all flirting with death, I be winking through the scope” lyric goes hard asf

[@joaodias5481]

"Todo o mundo e ninguém" from quarteto 1111, a Portuguese band. José Cid is a genius.
