This the song that turned him into a superstar 💯 I remember when it first hit the radio it was playing outta every house, car, and boombox on the block #TheGoodOleDays 💯💯
I must say this is a good song, I've been listening to rap for 30yrs now & it's nice I still remember it!! I understand hard knocks in life now especially with age.
All the way from Africa. Congratulations on the book of HOV. What you've been able to accomplish is nothing shot of a little magical and aloooot of hard work. Cried like a girl when you touched Johannesburg for the Mandela global citizen❤. Love hov

Jay-Z spoke for the streets. When no one else did. One of New York's own. Each song is a classic. Because each song stood for something.
True ❤😊
DMX was dominating during this time though.
@noneofyourbusiness1114 yeah with the help of Rockefeller records and Jay-Z working with Def Jam on Backstage dvd
@@noneofyourbusiness1114 stop this song dominated when it was released
Not really, there were plenty. You’re trying to gas him up 😂
