Nah...I mean, he's not on it like it he was, years ago, but 'Reasonable Doubt' and 'In My Lifetime' are classic hustlers music, songs like 'Can I Live' and 'Dead Presidents II', 'Regrets', 'You Must Love Me', 'Streets Is Watching' personify the life...embody it completley, in a timeless manner, the music ages with you is the crazy part...I listen to 'Can I Live' now, and it's just different, I relate on a different level now...or the lines that used to just sound cool, now are eerie, give me chills. He set the tone for all that shyt, imo.
But, the Clipse brought their own, newer generation twist to it...see Jay spit all that shyt in a discreet/low key, 'classy' manner..it's harder to relate to then a Yo Gotti or Young Jeezy, Clipse brought those details and just straight grit to the music, they put the coke in the fore front of the music, where Jay kinda downplayed it and hid it from the audience...
But, 'Reasonable Doubt' is classic hustler music...I remember listening to 'Dead Presidents' smoking a blunt in my room at my moms house, when she was ot, dropping off $50's across the street, when i was 17 years old, and that music spoke to me like nothing else, people that weren't in it, don't hear it the same way.
