*** Jay-Z "I Know" Appreciation ***

[we love 1989]

Joint gets 1 play a day for me..

 

[carminejordan]

 

[young dr0]

love it ...

 

[abeautifulhaze]

Audio piff.

 

[ricardo malta]

audio heroin, word to the concept of the song

 

[dhsbballstud11]

I know people hate Pharrell's solo productions, but this beat is crack. The synth line is crazy!

I don't know why this song isn't mentioned with Jay's best lyrical works... dude's imagery is just unbelievable. He takes you right into the"mind" of drugs, and into the mindset of the addict.

2nd verse

9 1/2 weeks is better than 12-steps
I keep tryin' to remind you to keep tellin' yourself
Now your conscience is interfering, like "Better yourself!"
Like you better get help
But when that medicine's felt?
We're back together
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever let 'em tell you that you'll never need me

My China White, 'til we D.O.A.
Its Montego forever, baby, lets get away....

3rd

How could you leave me?
I thought that you needed me!
When the world got too much and you pleaded with me--
Who helped you immediately?
How speedy of me!
How could you deny me so vehemently?
Now your body is shakin' trying to free it of me
And your soul is in control, trying to lead it from me
And your heart no longer pledge allegiance to me
Damn, i'm missing the days when you needed the D

To be able to spit like that is just not fair.

 

[DYNAMICS]

When he performed this on tour.

 

[flip sensayshun]

The beat and lyrics are on point.

Exactly...Pharrell isn't capable of making anything that sounds good. He has no talent at all.

Eventually became my favorite track of AG, easy.

Beat is too crazy. Always turn the sound waayyy up in the whip and just ride to it.

Sounds just like Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" except.... not. It's like an interpolation of some sort, it's weird... Either waythis song is incredible and I never realized the imagery Jay used until reading those lyrics just now..... WOW

 

[boutmymoney333]

 

[solewoman]

can never be played out for me.

 

[airant23]

YO!

He has no talent at all.
Given your s/n, that's incredibly ironic.



But

to this track. DF!!!

 

[premium911]

American Gangsta was wack ... sorry

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

She want that old thing back....

My man Hov
