Yeah I kinda thought it was better than average, but not as good as PAC, Wu Tang, Nas, Biggie and De La Soul, and it wasn't, but its still fuckin good.
@vcorr2288 yeah you're right of course. I remember shitting on Ja Rule at the time too. Now I even appreciate what he did. I'm still not gonna listen to his music, but I appreciate his talent. And even he was way more talented than this eras mumble rappers.
@@meezy-greenthegreat9916 And we have the DNA to prove it...there was never anyone on Earth exactly like us ever to exist and there never will be in the future. Facts. All God.
Hurts my hurt that bean's or Bleek never really took over the way they should have. Sigel was my guy you could hear the pain in his lyrics on certain songs.
Them saying that BEAT is wack , DEAF AF! Jay became a STAR riding that ish!! This ish today about opps and ish , blickies, like children took over the beats...truly tragic!😢 I'll take the Jay z And DMX era any time!❤
current artists don't have this lyrical talent. idk how ppl like future survive with repetitive lyrics that you don't even understand. bring this back!!!
The Biggie/Beanie Sigel/Small smash & grab demo defined, ,"Respect the Shooter" to quote the late rapper The girl with the power drill, "Ho's will get u sidetracked & clapped from close feet" another quote of the late rapper or her other power drill. The "Got eem" moment then to the back of the bus. You're one of us now
This tune was one of the tunes that cemented Jay-z’s Name in my world! Beanie was a monster back then........... I wish they hadn’t gone there own ways!
I think it's TOTALLY TRUE, *especially for his productions on 2Pac - "All eyez on me" (Ambitionz Az a Ridah, Ain't mad at cha, 2 of amerikaz most wanted, Skandalouz, Got my mind made up), all classics !* *But Jay-Z - "Change the game" is produced by Rick Rock.
Man this brings back some memories. I had 16.00 exactly from saving lunch money, went to suncoast and bought this album, it was 15.99. Dude gave me some sort of discount that way the tax was factored in. Memories.
Static Major on the hook!!! 🔥🔥🔥 RIP Static!!!
These niggas had the game locked up from 99- 04...what a time to be alive
Right!
I’d say ‘02 because 50 Came out with G Unit.
We took this era of Rap for granted. It's a shame.
Yeah I kinda thought it was better than average, but not as good as PAC, Wu Tang, Nas, Biggie and De La Soul, and it wasn't, but its still fuckin good.

You probably did not me. I got all records and taypes sealed in my safe. I mean from all 90 rappers.
I know! most trap sux
flynt01 Yes we did
This Jay Z era stay underrated. My man couldn't miss
RIP Static Major on the hook. 502 Come up!!!!! Miss you Steve!
Thanks for the info
The dynasty album era is an underrated moment in Jay z’s career. I lived all these tick rock beats.
It sold 500k albums first week and went on to be certified 2x platinum. Was never underrated, everyone knew and love it.
I get what your saying. I agree. When it comes to some of Jay’s best albums this one isn’t mentioned.
"Before me there was many. After me there will be none. " Jay-Z. Incredibly prophetic.
Not really
Have you ever heard of bragging
nice line hein :)
True fact. It's only one of you Quid est Veritas. Like it's one of me Meezy Quid est Veritas. For real. Yes. 100 💯💪. Yes.
@@meezy-greenthegreat9916 And we have the DNA to prove it...there was never anyone on Earth exactly like us ever to exist and there never will be in the future. Facts. All God.
That beat is insane
@Simon Mullaney Rick Rock produced this one and did a damn good job of it
Rick Rock was hot around this time! He had that west coast bounce killin the game!!!
@Limitless- Actually Daz produced this beat
Daz influenced
DAZ
Static Major on the hook!!!!
Static Major killing the chorus.
This might genuinely be one of Jay's best songs sonically
I get it!! The sound perfectly balanced 👌
Who still listening to this master piece in 2024!?
Dat bass!! Proper phat beat!
20 years later, and this track is still 🔥 AF!!!
20 years😨 time is running🤦🏽♀️
Shout out @rickrock on the beat 🔥🔥🔥
@@luisurbinajr8681 This a @rickrock beat?????
THIS IS THE BEST SONG THE ROC EVER PUT OUT
Word up
This is the Jay-Z we 80s babies fell in love with
90 baby too, y’all 80 babies put us on! Appreciate you G
This is false; for us 80s babies it was either Hard Knock Life or Reasonable Doubt for the older 80s babies
I feel this deep 😭
I always felt like Beans killed this track. Dude was in his prime here.
Beans killed every song he was on on this album
Beans had that 🔥 one of my fav MC’s
Definitely
Who is watching this in 2024?😂
I guess fate got me here or something 🔥🍁
Couldn't get this track outta my head yesterday.
Me...💯✌🏾
Yessuh
🫡
Back when video girls were all natural and fine as fuck. 🔥💯
You ain't lying
Am i the only one that watches music videos from early 2000s and the 90s and could vividly remember a lot of good memories from those times?
Nope
whenever I need a dose of quality hip-hop I'm glad I can come back and reminisce with some Jay
"Get your wig pushed back, by the wig push backer!" lol
Lmfao 🤣💀
This still a banger idgaf what nobody says
Agreed!
He'll yeah
All. Damn. Day!
💯
Rick Rock Beats! Undeservingly underrated
I was 14 and in high school. This was the first I had ever seen or heard of Jay Z. Been listening to him ever since.
Same story here, Twins!!!
Raw & Flawless WOW
I stumbled across him in 96 when reasonable doubt and busta's "whoo ha" dropped.
First time for me was Empire State of mind 🔥
@@FanaticForFanta damn you're late!!
Golden era of hip hop.
Platinum era
@@941lowelife2fax
This track NEVER gets old! Beat is way too hard and they all killed it! M Bleek!
Still one of dopest tracks ever laid down..
The remix wit Daz and Kurupt hit harder
Yessir
I miss THIS Jay-Z.
Problem is hes too much of a boss to have the time or the care to rap his ass off no more
Yes
Me too man, me too ...
We all do...
We all miss that 2000’s diamond
Era of Hip Hop brah realtalk
R-O-C with the D-P-G. This is 🔥 but the Remix is on Another Level 🔥 🔥
Another classic rap song and video by Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella Family from the year 2000 everyone. For real. Yes.
Hurts my hurt that bean's or Bleek never really took over the way they should have. Sigel was my guy you could hear the pain in his lyrics on certain songs.
Static major was 🔥Louisville ky he made a lot of hits
"Before me there were many"
"After me there will be none"
This is my slogan. I live this.
At least, when it comes to Doritos.
One of Jay's best songs love this one.
Have not heard this song in so long I swear.
I like the "still" references to Dr. Dre "Still Dre". kind of a wink to the fact he wrote that verse for Dre. dope
I remember skipping school in 10th grade to grab this CD and we picked up MOP's album Warriorz the same day at Circuit City!
marinejcksn1 omg Circuit City! 🤣❤️
Me too!
Warriorz was a tough album too
Circuit city was my spot! Best first day prices lol
I miss them days
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
This joint forever a classic :-) Roc Dynasty is now Roc Nation, you go Jay Z. Big ups Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek :-)
CLASSIC. Never knew how we good we had it back then
Them saying that BEAT is wack , DEAF AF!
Jay became a STAR riding that ish!!
This ish today about opps and ish , blickies, like children took over the beats...truly tragic!😢
I'll take the Jay z And DMX era any time!❤
Damn I Wish Static Major Was In the Video, Since He did The Hook to This Song. R.I.P Static Major🕊🕊
Bleek's entrance on the track and Bean's entrance is pure 🔥🔥🔥🚒
Glad I was around for when this came out. What a time to be alive. It's the ROC!
Jay was lit... Wow... The days🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Rip Static Major…should’ve been in the video fr
I will never forget promoting this album, Street team days, Sad what happened to rap music.
R.I.P Static Major on the hook!!!
This album went hard as all hell. It was the era of platinum artists, costumes and bling. Those were the days.
Still the real deal in 2023 🔥🔥🔥
One of the greatest songs of all time!
Still one of my favorite tracks till this day!
Jay definitely was feelin himself as the juggernaut this time period and gearing up to go at Nas
I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.
Philly and Brooklyn connection
damn thats the first time some one said that jay got lyrics but not the flow....his flow to me was crazy in the beginning he changed it so many times
Hello Brother hows going after 11 years
What A Great time to grow up on !
current artists don't have this lyrical talent. idk how ppl like future survive with repetitive lyrics that you don't even understand. bring this back!!!
nylotus Kendrick Lamar and Joey Badass
They still gassing... Dope as can be
This beat is so clean
greatest of all time, 13 studio albums from reasonable Doubt to 4 44 without single bad album nobody top what Jay did
February 1st 2021 and I'm still head boppin. So dope!
If we had social media in 2000 . Tha roc would of been harder then MMG nd young money
Stay Loyal But they was harder than them back in the day....
But the music has gotten better since
FACTS!!
Stay Loyal 💯
I'm glad that social media was not out that era bc social media kill the music game and 80 percent of the new artist out now is wack and good to me
This whole album is quality!
Wish jay & sig threw more bounce style beats in they music back then like this💯💯
When women being sexy included clothing 🙌🏾💃🏾

This tune was one of the tunes that cemented Jay-z’s Name in my world! Beanie was a monster back then........... I wish they hadn’t gone there own ways!
Still here never left!🔥💯❤️
Daz is probably the most underrated prodcucer in hip hop
I think it's TOTALLY TRUE, *especially for his productions on 2Pac - "All eyez on me" (Ambitionz Az a Ridah, Ain't mad at cha, 2 of amerikaz most wanted, Skandalouz, Got my mind made up), all classics !*
*But Jay-Z - "Change the game" is produced by Rick Rock.
Whats Daz got to do production wise with this? Rick Rock produced this track
This is a Rick Rock beat
manasseh dawkins this is Rick Rock
They had a west coast twist with that east coast flow classic
Old school yeah yeah!!!!!!!!💥💥💥👌🤙🤝🙏💪💪👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👑👑👑
Jay z , Bennie Segal really killed it
Just woke up singing this song for some reason.. had to come listen for nostalgia
My favorite album

its my new favourite jay z you nailed this man!!!
Whoa
Still my 2021!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot throwback!!🔥🔥🔥🔥Legend
Arthur Williams Hip Hop
THIS SONG POPPED INTO MY MIND AND I WANTED TO THE OLD JAY .
Man this brings back some memories. I had 16.00 exactly from saving lunch money, went to suncoast and bought this album, it was 15.99. Dude gave me some sort of discount that way the tax was factored in. Memories.
I hated this song by jayz. I bought the Eminem cd in 2000. But I did like Jay z work though. Hey papi , girls girls, big pimping
@@brianticas7671 It was definitely worth more to buy the Eminem CD of 2000, over the Jay Z CD, it was a classic after all
Wow. Hip hop. Truly a lost art.
I miss 2000
West Coast sound right here!! #Banger. #Slapper!!
still listening to this in 2017 shout out to my man beanie Sigel my fellow Philadelphia brother
juicy lipz. and jose
ok
Men this was a jam back then....Bring back real hip hop.
"I WILL NOT LOSE"
🎨
Say it louder for fam in the back.
Never was a Jay Z fan ...but the video with the bikes and Beans girls all good ....
Liquor on a empty stomach is the worst 0:54 never again 😂
Remember watching this rap city after school in 2000
