Jay Z - Jigga that nikka from Ruff Ryders album appreciation thread

[Canada Goose]

The first 10 seconds gets me every time I hear it, one of the GOAT intros to a song



That hook


Song will never get old

 

[SirBiatch]

while Coli squares pretend Swizz doesn't have classic joints

fukk around and find out Swizz got more bangers than Fraudye

 

[OHSNAP!]

Strange how it wasn't a big hit on the BB charts, shyt was HYUGE in spring/summer 99, I remember the VMA performance with 100 nikkas on stage

 

[MJ Truth]

The amount of white people chanting "nikka" at every club/event because of this bullshyt.

I remember I was at some kind of trip my freshman year of high school for some club I was in (DECA maybe), where they let all of the students go to this club-type party, and this song came on, and I've never seen CACs more excited in my life.

 

[FreshAIG]

I remain y'all, Raw the one, like five divided by four

 

[Cheech&Chong]

RR1 is classic. fukk what anyone says, this album had a huge impact on the game. It made stars out of eve, swizz and drag. Swizz sound owned the game for a few years. Like zay, 808 and London now, swizzy was king for a day.

 

[Mr. Riddim]

That intro

 

[ORDER_66]

That intro

Jesus christ this beat is legendary!!!! Swizz killed this shyt.

 

[Greenhornet]

weak ass beat

corny as fukk ass hook

but he made the best out of that shyt

 

[lucky lefty]

fukking dead at the effortless viciousness the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd displayed while annihilating the entire bytchmade, shytty ass, severely lyrically challenged, Z-list spitters filled Muff Divers roster and their god awful sonic abominations they tried to ruin the album with by dropping one GOATly song & showing em how to do this, son

The GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd's adlibs alone killed 8 Ball Simmons aka Dope Molester X aka the Vial Whisperer aka Lupe Fiendasco aka Grandmaster Fiend aka Crack Man X aka Druggie Smalls the Notorious JUNKIE aka Ole Yeller and company

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

1 take hov caused Eve to fukk up at the end

 

[El Guapo]

I always wanted to know, at the end there's someone saying "Jigga..." and just stops like they forgot the hook and vocals were supposed to end, was that left on purpose or did they just not notice it at the final cut?

The million dollar question..I thought I was the ONLY human that noticed this
