I've seen Jay 8 times and that was the most i ever paid for a Jay show in Ohio, the price hike is :x

Jay the type of dude to charge $300 for floor seat tickets, then do some **** like set up a hanging stage on the same level as the nosebleed section and perform up There :lol

Not gonna lie. It hurt my soul to cop these tickets at that price but seats are 15 rows from the stage. I had to pull the trigger. :lol
 
Man just get me in the building looking at the stage and I'm good. Not trying to come out the pocket on that level.
 
man I pulled the trigger on the barclays tickets for mid level with the tidal presale... seeing some of yall say yall got floor tickets for the same price is a little disappointing lol

but whats more disappointing is when I look at these flights to NYC



View is still good but i havent not seen Jay on the floor since my first show.

The 4:44 video is... Interesting? :lol

But the footnotes video for it is great. I'm looking forward to the footnotes more than the videos at this point honestly, but hopefully one of my remaining visuals changes that.
 
i like hov, top 10 all time solid.... only thing that kinda kills me is da revisionist history love people laud over reasonable doubt, it wasn't getting that "love" off da bat in 1996, (it should've, but it didn't).

4:44 is getting a interesting reception in NYC...da kiddies are type indifferent about it, but my demographic love it (as they should, its great)

there's absolutely no club record to speak of, which is a 1st for jig...

and i think imma go see him at Nassau Coliseum, probably less of a headache.

I don't think it's revisionist history with RD doubt though. Mostly everyone acknowledges that it wasnt huge when it came out. It's just that when people revisited it they realize how magnificent it was.

Peep what I wrote earlier

I didn't even fully understand reasonable doubt until like 2001, vol 2 was my favorite until that point, after the blueprint I went back and listened, I was blown away, so many slick lines, references and double entendres :{

Yeah, the fake love for RD is wack. That album wasn't getting love for real until years later when Jay called it a classic.

Vol 1 got ******* on for being too commercial. Vol. 1 has a couple terrible joints but I **** with Sunshine and The City is Mine.

4:44 is getting mad love from the younger crowd because it's the cool thing to do right now. Im sure most of them don't even play it like that but it's a trend now and it's cool to post lyrics and quotes online

Jay is one of the worst rappers I've ever seen in concert. Said it 1000 times on NT.
 
A lot of jay-z fans say rd is their favorite jay album just to make it seem like they were ******* with him from jump. But they know damn well they didn't catch on til jay was saying it was a classic in the early 2000s. Blueprint and the black album are my favorite Jay albums.
 
I remember when "Aint no *****" came out, it was just a song to me. Didnt think of getting his album...but then again i was in the 6th grade

It wasnt until Vol 2 that got me hip to Jay. "Can I Get A" and "Hard Knock Life" was everywhere! Watching MTV Jams in the morning before school and thinking the video for "***** what, ***** who" was the coolest **** ive ever seen
laugh.gif
 So I started to listen to his old stuff..watched Streets is Watching...all that. From then on I became a fan.

Pretty much the same for me. I remember hearing "Sunshine" and thinking dude was real poppy lol. I was in 7th or 8th grade when Vol 2 came out and after hearing those singles I sought out to hear RD and was pretty blown away.
 
I remember there were hot 97 jay-z posters with the vol 2 cover in the NYC subways. That's when I found out who jay-z was, I was Like 8 and I thought jay-z owned hot 97 lmao.

Vol. 2 is where most people went back to check reasonable doubt cuz hov was smoking cuz of that rush hour soundtrack boost & money ain't a thing (didn't hurt that they reprinted it either.)
 
ill add that DMX's Debut type quieted Vol. 2's hype da second it dropped though...

im almost certain DMX was closing alot of those Hard knock life tour dates :lol
