JAY-Z - Anything

[phcitywarrior]

I always liked this one more. Much more meaning and better subject matter. Hard Knock Life had the great bass line but is just one of countless Jay “I’m a successful drug dealer” songs.

This./thread

 

[The War Report]

This was more heartfelt

 

[ridge]

2nd verse is great

 

[Trapped]

Hard Knock Life had a better sample, Anything had better verses.

I prefer the anything sample

I know how it feels to feel that way. That's true love and selflessness.

HKL sample is hard for people to even decipher the words and was a bit whiney

 

[Big Boss]

 

[OmegaK2099]

The oliver twist sample

I can understand your perspective, I just felt that HKL sample was more melodic and was more of an ear-worm than Anything.

 

[Mr. Negative]

Idk why jay hated this track... this shyt was fire

Cause it was Hard Knock Life part 2.

Everybody at the time was scared Hov was just gonna sample broadway plays and shyt from there on out

 

[kes929]

Still wild to me that Jay randomly put this as the last song on Beans album. Imagine if the last song on a Travis Scott album was a full Kanye solo song outta nowhere.

 

[reserved_one]

Classic...It didn’t have the impact Hard Knock Life had but it was a better/deeper song.

 

[Money Be Green]

Prime Jay
