A lil back story. 1994 in Prospect Park(Brooklyn) the summer Jam Fest featured RocAFella BadBoy and several others. JayZ and Biggie Smalls bounced a Freestyle back and forth for 20mins straight.

It's great how this song and this video served as a real warning don't mess with Jay z, back when it first came out and today also. I love how as soon as he gets the beautiful woman in his drop, he's not bothered at all, calls up his boys to take care of the situation wow he's off with that pretty girl. The switch from the first song to the second is so abrupt just like things can flip real quick in the streets
