the 1st verse was incredible, 2nd verse was aight.....beat was insane. Video was kinda dumb...the scenery of being in Monaco was nice, but the chasing plot was ehh to me. Then they second verse plot of him playing cards with the chick was ehh, as well.

Cause at that same time in Fall 2006, Jim Jones had a little single called "ballin" that tore up the charts and created a phenomenon. Sad to say, bum ass Jimmy outshadowed Jigga in terms of a hit single. :russ:

Is there a song/album you don't consider classic?

Classic = whatever the person listen to the music thinks.

No such thing as a universal classic anything in music.
it was jay-z's big comeback song and it didn't really make a dent on any music charts

It charted pretty high

the 1st verse was incredible, 2nd verse was aight.....beat was insane. Video was kinda dumb...the scenery of being in Monaco was nice, but the chasing plot was ehh to me. Then they second verse plot of him playing cards with the chick was ehh, as well.

The video was an ode to James Bond.

U started listening to rap 5 years ago and you are my age shut the fukk up

I been listening to rap music since birth.

I just understand the genius of Jay z
