“Do U Wanna Ride?” Jay-Z Appreciation Thread

[Black Ball]

Song sounds type bland to me. Accompanied by terrible crooning throughout.

 

[the cac mamba]

this album is underrated as fukk. it's like I Am by Nas, half of it is trash but half of it is fire

i'd rather listen to the best songs off kingdom come than the best songs off american gangster and it's not even close

blue magic

 

[Olmec]

Only "Do you wanna ride" song I ride to .

 

[JustCKing]

Dope track.

Me and the homie used to jones on John Legend sounding like Michigan J Frog on the hook.

"I knoooooooooooooow, I knooooooooow, theres a place that we can gooo"

Wait a minute, you talking about the WB frog? Man, that brought back memories.

 

[OfTheCross]

(Underrated sleeper cut from kingdom come)

Now me and my little Moma, Kita and Tata
Juan and Dez out in Saint Tropez
Jay, round in Cabana
Sneaking marijuana
You know that Mary J give you no drama

this is a GREAT song.

KC had some high highs, man.

“Coming up though we thought slinging raw
Was the end-all-be-all of being rich, didn't we?
Little did I know my mo' potent delivery
Would deliver me, kingpin of the ink pen
Monster of the double entendre, Coke is still my sponsor
Heh, the Cola, yeah
Hova still getting it in with soda
Diet, no sir, I ain't lose no weight
Started from the crates now I'm sitting on a whole case”

Hov the goat. Calls himself the monster of the double entendre and then goes ahead and proves that shyt

It's a pity his delivery was ruined on that album from his cold and the last half was rushed. Take out "Oh My God", "Hollywood", "Anything" and "Dig A Hole" and you have a solid album.

 

[Gravity]

The joint dedicated to his mom in on that album is pretty good too.

Now your little misfit,
make sure everyday is xmas
write out your wish list
6s, wrist is glistening
and you don’t even like jewels
But you can missing anywhere you’d like to

 

[Yoda]

Not as good as Pop Lock and Drop it, tho.

 

[Cladyclad]

Kingdom Come album is easily one of Hov best lyrical performance

Reasonable Doubt
Blueprint
KC
