Wow...good old Jay-Z with a golden era rap...lol. Classic though none of us thought he would become famous way back in 1989. He was 20 years old then....
jay z ripped it man. he takes the rap game mad lightly now but back in the day he was no joke man he put everything into it. BUt then again he was in his teens in this one. How many ppl can say that nowadays.
It is true, ALL rappers, singers, and musicians as a whole take bits and pieces of things from other people and re-invent it. We have to just say, okay even if the nigga didn invent it, who the fuck was actually rapping like THAT in 89? People take so much from this guy, but at one point of time, he was unstoppable.
at this time, rap was not fashionable and was exclusively made for hip hop fans, and jay-z was a street rapper and this song goes back to 1989, the mentality in rap music was way different from what it is today, this time was the dawn of hip hop golden era....memories...
DAMN, Jay wasnt rappin' bout no dope, cars or jewelry...no mafioso talk this is back when Jay-Z was known as Jazzy, listen 2 tha beat and though he portraid himself differently over the years..u can see how Jaz-O & their styles carried all the way up to now u never hear Jay overly excited, or rappin' all harsh - i.e. DMX-style, this nigga always keeps his cool
" jaz-o and jay-z was the first to rap fast then twista and the rest of them " ??? Nah bro Jay Z himself will tell you it was Kool Mo Dee and The Treacherous Three in 1980 (The New Rap Language) that influenced cats to rhyme fast.
With this video still accessible -- there's no such thing as revisionist history now! Say whatchu want bout who's da nycest but True technique & lyricism at it's finest is right here... *HipHop, Plz Come Back Like This Here...

this is when rap had real niggas talkn peace and power, even though they were selln crack in the background. Now, this shit is upside down; with fakes selln crack for a record deal and sayn they've been in the game for years, when they are no older than 25, 26 yrs old. If you watch the MTV Unplugged with Jay-z. He does some of his old freestyle.
jay z said something at 1:49 about "you should have been paying me for all the rhymes your stole from me" couldn't understand it, or who he was directing it at, but even when he was doing these more "righteous" raps thing he was thinking about getting paid! no doubt he always had skill, even though it sounds old now, his flow is sick!
I agree. I think people are gettin too caught up with the beat of the 2 songs(its a battle). If people were to hear the songs acapella they would find that Jay-Z won.
you pretty much just proved my point. he didnt change his name to Jay-Z UNTIL he began kickin it with Jaz. you got to understand. jay hung with big daddy kane before he got with jaz. yeah kane was one of his inspirations, but, jaz was literally Jay-z's blueprint. everything about his flow he got from jaz. the triplet style, breaking it down to become a 16 bar spitter, (a fluent one.) and basic song structure. the world claimed jay-z as the best of all time, and yet, jaz > jay. do the math yo
Obviously, you clicked on my profile and saw what my name is. What does it matter??? I forgot to add KMD, they also made a MOCKERY of the Nation of Islam/Mohammad stuff in their video Peach Fuzz. KMD actually wore the Muslim outfits in parts of that video.

Wow...good old Jay-Z with a golden era rap...lol. Classic though none of us thought he would become famous way back in 1989. He was 20 years old then....
Ahhh the late 80s and early 90s....when rap was truly at its best.
I'm 15 and I'm listening this song everyday and this flow for me it's still too dope!
89 to 21 n jay still relevant
Why didn't Jay Z use this style more!?!? DAMN YOU Jay Z!! LOL
Jay-Z used a similar style on his freestyle with Big L on Stretch & Bobbito, and people hated on him.
He did..........at times.
biggie told him to slow down so people can feel his flow more
jay z ripped it man. he takes the rap game mad lightly now but back in the day he was no joke man he put everything into it. BUt then again he was in his teens in this one. How many ppl can say that nowadays.
Dope Fresh Original wanna go back the future
Jay-Z look funny af from the angle he sitting down rapping.. LOL
Happy Belated 56th Birthday to Jaz-O/Big Jaz 2020!!!
So happy he switched his style
good time with jay z
Why people still hating on hov lmao. He just released a banger album in 2017, at the age of 48. Quit hating and faking your Jay-Z fanhood.
It is true, ALL rappers, singers, and musicians as a whole take bits and pieces of things from other people and re-invent it. We have to just say, okay even if the nigga didn invent it, who the fuck was actually rapping like THAT in 89? People take so much from this guy, but at one point of time, he was unstoppable.
i have never met LA her record is her own we appreciate her contribution which has not be erased uncle thomas cause a ruckus amongst us

this track just rocks !
20 years of real shit.
And I'm the last of the 80s babies (89)
THIS SONG IS DOOOPPPPPPEEEEE!
Jay z 's haircut 80s styles lol.
Whats wrong wit it ? It's a high top fade I don't see what's wrong wit it. Must be a young cat 🙄
I thought when people talked about how he got his start that this was the group he was with. This was one of my favorite rap and vid back in the day.
DAMN, Jay wasnt rappin' bout no dope, cars or jewelry...no mafioso talk
this is back when Jay-Z was known as Jazzy, listen 2 tha beat
and though he portraid himself differently over the years..u can see how Jaz-O & their styles carried all the way up to now
u never hear Jay overly excited, or rappin' all harsh - i.e. DMX-style, this nigga always keeps his cool
beyoncé must’ve been 8-9
Haha
" jaz-o and jay-z was the first to rap fast then twista and the rest of them " ???
Nah bro Jay Z himself will tell you it was Kool Mo Dee and The Treacherous Three in 1980 (The New Rap Language) that influenced cats to rhyme fast.
The Fu-Schnickens too.

To see so many Nubian faces
So many original faces here tonight)
[Jaz] Hey yo, what's up, Jay Zee?
[Jay] Yo, what's up, Jaz?
[Jaz] Ain't nothin
Just chillin, you know
A lotta fronters out there perpetratin
Tryin to rock a old trippin style
Youknowmsayin?
[Jay] We have none of that, alright?
Originators is here
[Jaz] Word up
Let me kick a little somethin
[Jay] Word up
[Jaz] Guess you'll tune in later, right?
[Jay] Yeah, but won't you
Kick, kick, kick it
[VERSE 1: The Jaz]
My rhymin and singin technique is applaudable
Livin in luxury, and it's affordable
No other brother is better than me, the J, the a, the z
The cream of the crop, and the top of the top
The suckers are tryin to stop
The biggeda-, the biggeda-, the boss of the hip-hop
Hop, they'll never come near
They'll never come here, no, not this year
They're growin in fear, I'm very sincere, I will jerk tears
Operator pushin the data, I'm talkin bout info
And check it, you're still stumblin and bumblin off the intro
So take it a step at a time, this dope rhyme
Be makin a note that it's refined by a skilled mind
This is a warning for biters
Stealers and robbers and sucker reciters
Call it a night, and before you roam
Don't try this at home
The style that I'm usin, I'm here to abuse
The garbage and junk I refuse
Divy it up, cause I'm here to collect my dues from all of yous
This ain't no cartoon drama caper, pass the paper
Your mind's in a daze, higher than a skyscraper
I'm teachin and reachin and preachin
And showin and flowin and growin and blowin
The rest of the best right out of the box
I shoot the funky sweat socks
I obliterate and I devastate
You wanna go head to head
Rhymin until you fall dead?
Great, make it a date
Never a conflict or a debate, you're callin me sir, see
You sucker, you fucker, you pussy, you wussy, nobody can verse me
The Jaz is pushin the power
You two-bucks-an-hour
Unable, mentally unstable, to me you cower
You never can write a dope lyric to have an effect just like this did
To be at the peak in the field of hip-hop, you only wish, kid
And Jiggeda-Jay Zee, yo, yo, my partner
G-g-g-get on the mic, and cold start to
[VERSE 2: Jay Zee]
Wreckin and wreckin in seconds less than speeds of light
So the miggeda-more that come, the miggeda-merrier, right, right
Excitin the mic much to the delight of millions of Nubians
And Amorites just can't understand the groove we're in
Cool, it might take a couple of takes for you to clarify
Don't lie, you coulda never got in on the first try
But never to worry, I'm not in a hurry, take your time
Cause it's my rhyme, I siggeda-said so, and I'm J-a-y-Z, y'all know me
I wish you co-write, cause you'd pay me all the rhymes you stole from me
Leave you freeze in a minute, you gotta get in it breathin
Only when it lets, no sweat, I stutter-step with ease, and
Stop fakin, you're makin it, son
I'm breakin and breakin and breakin your tongue
Don't get caught perpetratin the cool ones
Figure we're bigger and badder and better, and baby, let's face it
We bring havoc, flowin faster than rabbits, try to race it
The lyrical miracle writer, flippin until it drives you
Crazy, seek spiritual help from Jaz and Jay Zee
Standin in awe, you saw the best of em all, the rest will fall
Requestin for more, jaws stuck on the floor
These lyrics I pour, we saw, because we're greater
And we are the thiggida-thiggida-thiggida-the (the) originators

"lyrical miracle" 2:06
this is before jay-z came out first cd in 1996
Who'd thought this guy (Jay-Z) would be the first black hip-hop billionaire? As the world turns...
celestialchild810630 his vision
I thought Dr. Dre was the first Billionaire Rapper.
@@somedude6683 that was before taxes. He had to pay that first. As a consequence, he fell short of the mark
my favorite Jay-Z song (well featuring in fact) with Can i Get Open from Original Flavor
This was (1990)
1:04 Jay flinched
That was lol Young Jay was beastly
Drink Champs brought me here
Dope share brotha...This is some fresh ish.
This is great
I’d love to see jay with dame and jaz on the team again

This jazz beat crazy 💯🔥 fast flow was way before bum twista came along!
Please add 976 776 Trillion Views to this video very terribly
man, jay looks so fresh
Jay-Zs development is so dope.
this is when rap had real niggas talkn peace and power, even though they were selln crack in the background. Now, this shit is upside down; with fakes selln crack for a record deal and sayn they've been in the game for years, when they are no older than 25, 26 yrs old.
If you watch the MTV Unplugged with Jay-z. He does some of his old freestyle.
Hell yeah he did.

A lot ppl forgot about this song... Jay Z was that M.C before he became well known as being The M.C 👍🏿
2018??
the jaz aka jaz o rap so fast
Big Jaz and Jay z were beast. I knew Jay z was good but I did not know that he was THAT good. dang. hahaha
he's 37 now, that was 89, so he was like 18 or 19 in the video
Jay-Z killed that joint. I see why he is the best rapper alive. He stole the shine from Jaz in this one.
jaz o created the style period.
Badass!!
jay z said something at 1:49 about "you should have been paying me for all the rhymes your stole from me" couldn't understand it, or who he was directing it at, but even when he was doing these more "righteous" raps thing he was thinking about getting paid! no doubt he always had skill, even though it sounds old now, his flow is sick!

damn i didnt know that he made a video from 1989. yo jay-z at that time was dumb nice with his rhymes
Jay took a while 2 drop his 1st single after diz
cool...
What the hell is the point of a rating system if you can only give it one rating
I agree. I think people are gettin too caught up with the beat of the 2 songs(its a battle). If people were to hear the songs acapella they would find that Jay-Z won.
@Marketing614 I literally laughed out loud when i seen your comment and checked 2:27..he looks nervous as fuck lol when he was a young Camel ahahaha
How come "Hawaiian Sophie" aint on youtube?

you pretty much just proved my point. he didnt change his name to Jay-Z UNTIL he began kickin it with Jaz. you got to understand. jay hung with big daddy kane before he got with jaz. yeah kane was one of his inspirations, but, jaz was literally Jay-z's blueprint. everything about his flow he got from jaz. the triplet style, breaking it down to become a 16 bar spitter, (a fluent one.) and basic song structure. the world claimed jay-z as the best of all time, and yet, jaz > jay. do the math yo

But who here has knowledge?

Obviously, you clicked on my profile and saw what my name is. What does it matter??? I forgot to add KMD, they also made a MOCKERY of the Nation of Islam/Mohammad stuff in their video Peach Fuzz. KMD actually wore the Muslim outfits in parts of that video.
