Jay-Z Where I'm From?

[intilectual recipricol]

That was my shyt... still is...

I'm up the block round the corner and down the street
from where pimps prostitutes and druglords meet

where they call the cops the A Team
cuz they hop outta vans and spray things
and life expectancy so low we makin out wills at 18's

but I see nikkaz here still actin like Jigga wasnt spittin on Vol 3

 

[malbaker86]

In My Lifetime Vol 1 was the last time we heard this Jay-Z

Underrated album

 

[Flav]

17 years later this shyt still bangs..

thats the track that me start to focus on him.

at first i looked at him as a come and go rapper but when i heard that track i knew that man was going to be a problem.

If people arent making soul music any more....where are we gonna get dope ass samples to loop?

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

I know breh,.... i know.

I would bring all the greats back for one last great jay-z album.

Timbo, Swizz, Dame Grease, Primo, Dr.Dre, Just Blaze, (Prime)KanyeWest.

One last great Album....

"n****s want my old shyt buy my old album"

We'll sample old hiphop records that sampled old soul records.

man there are so many old records and songs that people sampled and its not all from Soul music. You should here the original songs to Bump J's "Move Around" and Mobb Deeps "Twisted"

plenty of music left out there to sample. 70s american soul songs aren't the only place to get great samples. foreign countries, live recordings, there's LOTS of shyt that simply hasn't been touched. not to mention how 5 different producers can flip the same song dozens of ways.

 

[Boolean]

nikkas thought their deuce was live, then I hit em with trips

And I reach down for they're money like "par forgot about this"

 

[Ty-Fife]

We make a million off beats cause our stories are deep
And fukk tomorrow long as the night before was sweet

 

[JuvenileHell]

One of my favourite Jay Z songs. His flow was insane

 

[Big Boss]

 

[DonRe]

i dont think the song had a filler bar in it. classic jay right there boi.

 

[Danie84]

...remembers the first time hearing Lord Camel mention the GOATs name: who's your favorite mc

 

[I love Latina women]

really great song
