Yeah, this was a 27 year old Jay that was obviously still not removed from Marcy, this was probably the last Jay of that 95-97 era, his peak actually. An important reminder of how good he was lyrically, his career is so crazy that people forget this Jay I think.
Jay at his peak>>> 95% of any prominent rapper that ever picked up the mic.

Dope, these nikkas sampling audio feedback and random adlibs to make a classic record. This why I love(d) hiphop.
17 years later this shyt still bangs..
this song is straight up FUEL.
Easily the hardest song Jay-Z ever dropped. That beat is NASTY
I totally agree with this.
When people say "it's all been done in hip hop", I just laugh. Like how small-minded can one be?
There's so much more hip hop can do but 99.9% choose to sleep at the wheel

Best song on Vol I
Just a raw record period

still can't get over that. This beat, one of the goat beats, is audio feedback and some random vocal (adlib). This is why hip hop is the goat genre: it's the most eclectic. And as long as you're raw with it, you can flip anything.

Who's the best MCs? Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
"nikkas been praying to God so long that they Atheist"
"Government? fukk government, nikkas politic themselves"
Those lines stood out to me when I first heard this track
This is arguably Jay's greatest song.

Goddamn, this along with a lot of Premo and Dilla's samples just have me like
. Now obviously since we recognize those parts from our favorite beats they stick out to us, but how the fukk did they even conceive those cuts? Like this:This is a pretty well known song with tons of obvious sample material...yet this nikka Easy Mo Bee takes the last 5 seconds of the song where one small little instrument is tapering off, and turns it into one of the rawest beats ever:
HOW SWAY?!
