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

[Kerkum]

(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

Hustler profits made our stretch

Issa classic. dope ye beat, dope lyrics.

setting your boy up for life because he ain’t snitch on you and served over a decade for you.

this is what makes hip hop the goat genre

When Jones ended up switching prisons, the song become a blessing of its own because it let other prisoners and even the guards know exactly who he was. “The guards used to always try to befriend me. One day one of them pulled me in the office and played the song for me. To me, that got me through that last three years or two years..I’m like ‘I’m good now.’”

Used to be my favorite song off the album, but, this Jay-Z never ages well.

“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”
