2025 and this still hits!!!! The reason why Free verse hit different was because you can really hear the hunger and urgency in his delivery!!! I hear nothing but Philly coming out and what they was spitting on the block!!
Bruh just watch an interview on how this song was made and that’s how Jay got on the song because he wanted Hov to lay those adlibs then Hov jumped on the song.
If this song doesn't make you violently nod your head, you haven't been through the struggle. Easily one of the most prolific Hip Hop songs ever. Beans, Freeway, and Hov all shined on this one.
For real! This was like a hip hop relay. Passing the mic like runners pass the baton. Flow tight AF from verse to verse. Sounds just as good now is it did the first time I heard it back in the day

Just heard this again after so many years. Forgot how well he rides the flow and his voice is unmistakable. Truly painting us a picture of his character and motivations through a hard ass verse.
As a kid I used to say jay killed this...as an adult I realize jay just hit it with a dope flow and clever lines...freeway and beans talked from the heart and the perspective of being and showing just because they dealt drugs didn't make them bad guys...they just did WHATEVER it took to make sure there Family and friends eat...there verses were too real for my young mind to comprehend
Same here..and its so sad and depressing that music like this isnt being made anymore and if it were wouldn't be appreciated..this was during times where hip hop had substance and gave a chill down your spine and you could actually relate to the artist because the substance of their music was what most people dealt with and were going through st the present time..now its bentleys throwing racksnin the club and rockin gucci and living in mansions..smdh the majority of us will never experience those things..but what beans freeway nas tupac eminem and all the old school artists would rap about?? We were living it and experiencing it all on a daily basis..RIP HIP HOP/RAP you held me together in my younger years and brought emotjon and motivation out of me..youll always be missed but never forgotten..because your voice can still be heard by the greatists of all time
It's actually crazy knowing Jay-Z nor Beanie Sigel were on the song at first! Freeway said Jay was supposed to only say "Keep going" in the background, but the second he heard the track itself, he immediately freestyled his verse and Sigel followed after. Great music brings out such a great vibe in everyone.
"But still I cry tears of a hustler, wipe tears from my mother, pour out beer for my brothers, that's above us make beds for the babies tuck kids under covers buy cribs for they mothers" (Beans)
Shout out my 80s baby niggas.....I used to always hear old folks say that certain music took them back to where they were when they first heard it.....This takes me back to my 18 year old self.....31 now and I've changed a lot, but I feel like a teen again when I hear this.
tswagg504 We still here mane and going to rep the 90s era like no other; I'm 31 too and I remember lyricism and aknowledgment of the struggle like it should be.
These CLASSICS used to get real niggahs amped the fuk up, even til this day no bs brings back soooo many good memories. I was blessed to have lived in those days. None of the generations after this will ever b able to experience what we O.G.'S EXPERIENCED, so sad to say. People truly knew who u were vibein' wit in those days. Cellies were not a distraction in our lives like now. Str8 outta control now B...BONKERZ. 70's & 80's baby's that knew eachother still know who that person was. Crazy. I can only 🙏 pray 🙏 for the young cats now-a-days. Salute to my 70's O.G.'s who r still here now listenin' to these CLASSICS. LUV TO ALL Y'ALL...

If you knew anything about the justice system you'd know cops don't have the power to throw away the key. That's higher up in the justice system. Cops sole purpose is to gather evidence in your case against you to initiate getting you locked up. If you are committing crimes I see nothing wrong with them doing their jobs. Y'all have these one sided conversations about police locking you up but you forget about the part where you commit the crime.

Anybody know the sample?
2025 and this still hits!!!! The reason why Free verse hit different was because you can really hear the hunger and urgency in his delivery!!! I hear nothing but Philly coming out and what they was spitting on the block!!
This is the perfect anthem for anybody who wakes up in the morning with the unbridled determination to do whatever it takes to survive.
Feel you bro. For me, it's whatever it is to survive and live the dream. Stay strong
