My favorite Jay song period.

 

[kickvicisous]

Wish this was on the album, that second verse always stuck out "I WANT MONEY LIKE COSBY! Who wouldn't?"

The gems from reasonable doubt you get as an adult are timeless

Right around :48 the piano starts to trickle in.
Whole **** funky though.



Mad I couldn’t find the Fools Paradise Remix of “Can’t Knock The Hustle” anywhere on YT.

I was searching for it also

I always preferred that version

Tyler did it again, album sounds amazing. Really impressed with how well he's able to self produce entire projects. The transitions make it feel like a journey, something lacking in most projects today.

Wayne was a great feature, and Wilshire is elite storytelling. Off first listen, this is already one of the best rap projects this year without question.

My intro to Pete Rock.

'Bout to start b*******, ain't you? Ready to start snitching, ain't you?
I forgive your weak *** hustling just ain't you

When the hell this come out?

“Commit atrocities like we got immunity
You guessed it, manifest it in tangible goods
Platinum Rolexed it, we don't lease
We buy the whole car, as you should
My confederation, dead a nation, explode!
On detonation, overload the mind of a said patient
When it balls to steam, it comes to it
We all fiends gotta do it, even righteous minds go through this
True this, the streets school us to spend our money foolish
Bond with jewelers and, watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous, dreams of
Getting cream let's do this, it gets tedious
So I keep one eye open like, C-B-S, ya see me
Stressed right? Can I live?”

The Dead Presidents sample





hip hop has helped come across a lot of great music

Meet me at the crap table, the one that starts a G up

[a blinkin]

Can I Live is timeless.

Meet me at the crap table, the one that starts a G up

And we can have a pleasant time sipping margaritas
Chyea-yea-yea

…it gets tedious, so I keep one eye open like CBS, you see me stressed right?

 

[wavycrocket]

Brooklyn’s finest still go dumb . Them *****s on there talking some ****.

The production flow and bounce on there is just different. I think D’Evils might be my fave joint on there tho. Cuz he preachin. Like really preachin.

This is why Hov verses of late don’t impress me. He been talking that ****, on a crazy introspective level, when people thought he was all money/cash/hoz.

Bruh been talking black excellence/empowerment and introspection since the go.

I remember the snippet dropped at least a decade ago, not too sure when they finally released the original
