I'm surprised only one person mentioned this, and it took 3 pages to point it out.

When Hov dropped this, it became very clear that Hov wasn't playing. This is like he took the pen straight from Yahweh and etched his name in the "I'm gonna be the greatest rapper you've ever seen" book. Even Premo was talking about how this is a top 5 beat he wished he produced.

It's always changing with me. I am and have always been a huge Jay fan. My top five would be Dead or Alive, The City Is Mine, A Week Ago, H to the Izzo, and All I Need.

Breh, when I first heard "I'll sell ice in the winter, I'll sell fire in Hell, I'm a hustler baby I'll sell water to a whale" it was a mixture of :whoo::banderas:and :whew:. Hov is top 5 DOA.

My nikka, we flipped the fukk out when we heard those 'sell' lines. EVERYONE did.

the whole track is like business prophecy. And it's so mindblowing because this is one track when Jay-Z seperates himself from every rapper that's ever come out.

"Sure I do, I tell you the difference between me and them
They tryin to get they ones, I'm tryin to get them M's"


and then he follows it up with

That's another difference that's between me and them
I smartened up, opened the market up


:whew:.

People talk about jay not being able to spit story telling tracks but listen to that song and te verse about him shooting his brother and you will think different
