He’s out touring, doing SNL and all types of shyt. I just think he's tired of doing what he's done for a million times.

This is as traditional as it gets, performing the shyt in a studio with your dj and a small crowd



**too old to perform in a video

I mean the nikka can actually be in the video for one.

And you know, shooting a video in Marcy wouldn’t actually be a bad idea. Idk I just want to see Hov in his element especially with this song; I mean the video don’t even got no playback value to it.

When this album came out and Jay was making videos for each song I was just hoping that this was the one where he appeared and just did a basic video in Marcy, this was the song to do it :ld:

Disappointed a bit but can't lie the video's still good

Being that he’s talking about “old Brooklyn”, I think it would be pretty hard to capture the song in the current Brooklyn.

Idk about you, but I’ve seen him in all types of videos a million times. Giving us something different like this, the moonlight, the one with Kanye No church in the wild and The story of OJ is really dope. But so was Otis. Non-traditional is always better when it comes to arts imo.

He captured "Old Brooklyn" with Smile


I've been loving these vids, but I do agree with breh, Marcy Me woulda be better as more of a traditional/"Where I'm From" type vid. Woulda been dope showing transition from old to new Brooklyn too

damn man can this nikka just shoot a traditional rap video, I mean I get it the direction But I’m tired of this ultra artistic cinematic bs already :yeshrug:
actually I thought this video was bout as perfect as it could get.....nice to get this humble conscious side of J....so humble that the video doesn’t even need his persona....and the message was great......a people constantly misunderstood and watched by those who misunderstand them......way better than j in black n white walk-in down BK blocks:manny:

My heart was in my chest when the kid was running back to the get together. Stop killin our babies :mjcry:

Thought I was the only one.

Yea glad they were sophisticated enough not to push the situation over the edge, cuz in reality death isn’t usually the result.....but the watching, harassing and misunderstanding is.
