I still got American Gangster as my 2nd best Hov album

Hov was back.

Diddy found those beats and gave em to Jay-Z and he got inspired while watching American Gangster and the rest was history.


Only issues was he updated ignorant shyt from the mp3 version from years prior.... with that not so hot updated verse and beanie verse. Original ignorant shyt was amazing.

Bout to make a playlist with all these songs ya'll listing :lolbron:
5. Pre Game w/ Sauce Money
I hear this shyt for the first time on a mix

:whew:Early 2000's/late 90's Jiggaman was dirty with bars

Jay-Z sounded like new, hungry rapper

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
As a youth explosively, clappin' off the roof
Shootin' guard like Kobe, raised up slay smears and bo'e
Back then, Gil was my co-d
Spanish Jose showed me how to get the money nikkas owed me
Fast-forward: No kids, six cars, and three Rollies
Two cribs, trips to Cuba, sippin' on Ooba
Got rap in a stupor, first to clap your group up
From the Range with the ski rack, or six with the roof up
shyt, I light the motherfukkin' soundproof booth up
New shyt, y'all say the same shyt like you're looped up
Your raps all lazy, Jigga the Black Scorsese
What your album lack is more Jay-Z
Code name: Jay-Hova—all praise me
Y'all don't paint pictures, you all trace me
You've yet to see the day when my squad be done
I represent that shyt nikka—Marcy son, what!
Sauce Money - Pre-Game lyrics

Brooklyn
I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lotta lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lotta innocent lives lost on the project bench
What you hollerin'? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat
Feelin' braver, durag wrappin' my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me, I'm awkward, I box lefty
An orphan, my pops left me
And often, my mama wasn't home
Could not stress to me, I wasn't grown
'Specially on nights I brought somethin' home
To quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor, thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin' green up
Raisin' my fingers to critics
Raisin' my head to the sky, Big, I did it, multi before I die
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight

Concrete, Concrete like Greg Street
I dip, squat, then post up with the toast up
I bring beef to a closure, know something?
From Coxsackie to Folsom, I'm loathsome
I scream out, "fukk the world," then I throw something
nikkas scheming hard, but fukk it, it's the God….

I remove your roof nikka let the sun shine in
Thirty-eight waist, enough to put one nine in
Really a thirty-six without the gun I'm thin
But when the gat is tucked, I'm fat as fukk
Ignorant b*stard, I'm takin' it back to day one
No kids, but trust me I know how to raise a gun….

We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killin'
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew and soon grew black-hearted
Thinkin' back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned, so in turn I'm kidnappin' his baby's mother….

The theme song to The Sopranos
Plays in the key of life on my mental piano
Got a strange way of seeing life, like
I'm Stevie Wonder with beads under the do-rag
Intuition is there, even when my vision's impaired, yeah….


Hov got flow though he's no Big and Pac, but he's close
How I'm 'posed to win? they got me fightin' ghosts
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with….
