@@ArtisanWindchimes Illmatic is one of the top 5 albums all time. Nas lost me after It was written. I don't have him top 5 because he was too inconsistent.
Jay z's charisma and the ability to switch off his flow to any kind of beats, and also his consistency are what make him the absolute 🐐 . Jigga is too nice👏🏾
exactly, his secret to longevity and the sign of his skill as an emcee is his ability to switch flows and ride any beat. He doesn't go for being overly intricate to the point of rapping in riddles, yet still have dense enough rhyme schemes to remain top tier lyricist.
HOV is the nicest pure and simple. Those who differ simply don't understand his rhymes and when we don't understand something we tend to downplay and degrade it.
@@wupac06 So Ghetto, Dope Man, Do It Again, There’s Been A Murda, NYMP, Come and Get Me, Big Pimpin, Watch Me, It’s Hot (Some Like It Hot), Snoopy Track, Jigga My Nigga, Anything, Girls Best Friend, Hova Song Intro, Interlude and Outro
@@wupac06 I feel you, but to me Vol 1 is solid but I typically skip City is Mine, What Girls Like, Sunshine, Face Off and sometimes Who You Wit. So I wouldn't suggest he react to something where I'd skip 2 of the 3 first tracks.🤷🏿♂️
This is my 2nd favorite album. Mainly because of the production. This is a well put together intro by Premier. He's one of the deadliest producers in existence! Good reaction video 👍!
Don’t forget to UA-cam Jay Z a million one questions Extended version remix with the lost 2nd verse! “I’m supposed to style, I’m a hustler’s poster child, rock leathers and CRO-cadiles!”
The intro by Pain in the Ass was a reinterpret of the monolouge in the movie "Carlito's Way". Also, have a listen to this album before The Blueprint to see Jigga's growth.
Lmao That whole part had me sick laughing cause I'm picturing the whole thing in my head. The interviewer is asking all these damm questions, then jay responds = Can i get a minute to breathe! And in that minute you leave! Lol While I'm looking at my Role ICE! Spinning on my sleeve! Then the interviewer comes back in, while jay still looking down at his Rolex Spinning on his sleeve and says ugh! nice watch lmao Do you really have a spot? Lmao Like you said in friend or foe and if so, what block? Lmao all them damm five 0 questions lmao 🤣 smh
He said "Will I ever fall off? Nooooo...." And this was said at the In My Lifetime period. Not even at the half point of his career. At that point he was just getting started and had Reasonable Doubt and In My Lifetime album wise. Crazy...
Vol 1 gets hated on too much. It’s definitely his most underrated album along with American Gangster. Top 5 definitely. Remove I Know What Girls Like and Sunshine and it’s a classic. DJ Premier is the best. R.I.P. Aaliyah.
The Blueprint was his first album that was really huge. I remember waking up early to buy it the day it came out (9/11) and there was nobody on the road, went to a couple music stores that were closed. I was like wtf. Then I found out what was going on. On top of that Walmart used to only sell censored cd's so I had to buy it again
Ahmad, I remember when you were on the fence about Jay Z. But that was because you only heard the commercial, post Rocafella Jay Z….. Then listening to Super Ugly changed everything!! 😂😂
Yo props for the preemo Jay Z classic. So Ghetto is classic along with Watch Me (Feat. Dr. Dre) Ahmad. Pain in da ass is imitating Al Pacino from Carlitos Way and Scarface in the skits. Next do Hitboy and Nas song The Tide that song is 🔥🔥

I gotta peep that movie. Heard a lot about it 💯🔥
Coolie highways a classic
@@KingAhmadTv react to tha dogg pound's dogg food and doggystyle
Jay x Primo was a match made in heaven!
Facts 🔥🔥
Nas and Preemo
@@Q.B.2.L.B. Video has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH NAS 🤡

Facts..
They don’t listen to music they just skim through it
Big pun better honestly
What you said 💯
Yup
Vol 1 is slept on heavy. Another album where can’t nobody say he biting another rappers rhymes. Jay top 5 for real.🐐💯
Would be top 4 in his catalog if he trimmed the fat off the album.
Heavy slept because of a couple songs
Not really underrated, this was one of Jigga's best albums
Jay-Z is too successful and happy with his life to be "Top 5" in Hip Hop. Lol
@@olschoolTonyCarter people don’t mention this album enough. It’s either Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, or Black Album.
A time in rap history when the rapper talked the actual lifestyle they was living or lived
Cocheese was a character in the classic movie Cooley High that got killed in the end
My favorite Hov album … “Lucky Me”, “You must Love Me”, “Imaginary Players”, “Where U From” “City is Mine” .. Sheesh 🔥
I always feel like vol.1 gets looked down on for a few bad songs.
Fo real......"City Is Mine" was an amazing tribute to Biggie! "Where I'm From" is severely underrated!!!!
rap game/ crack game, lucky me and streets is watching, imaginary players and you must love me makes this album a classic imo
Jay is just smooth on this track
There's a whole version (2nd verse) to the A Million song. Dope Aaliyah sample
Thanks, gonna have to find that.
“My flow expose holes that they find in yours” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Classic Jay & Preem banger! You gotta check out the remix for sure the beat switch in that one is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
The Preemo remix
Vol 1. Is an under appreciated Hov album, might want to do the whole thing!
Jay-Z off the dynasty album.... you, me, him and her....banger
Jayz pre- Beyonce was on another level...goat 🐐
I b telling people this all the time!!!
He was releasing heat with Beyonce too wtf😂😂
@@Myhandle718 Right? like bruh Magna Carta and 4:44 is 🔥🔥🔥
theres been alot of ppl hating on Jay lately and Forbes just reported his networth went up another billion lol.
I like the remix better but this version is cold too.
ua-cam.com/video/BmcGAwSFPgk/v-deo.html
Vol 1 is a top 3 Jay album for me. If he removed 'I Know What Girls Like' it's almost flawless. 97 Hov was a problem.
Keep telling you Jay-Z version 2.0 is soooo cold. Vol 1 is kinda like a Reasonable Doubt pt 2. Vol 3 and Roc Dynasty album reactions please. 😉
Vol 3 is only worth checking out for a few songs tho tbh it's a good album but nothing amazing tbh

@@tywayne3 I love City Is mine, Sunshine and Who You Wit
One of my fav joints … btw pico is actually a street in LA … IYKYK
The intro references the movie Carlito's Way starting Al Pacino. Highly recommend watching it

I agree with this recommendation.
a reaction of "return of the crooklyn dodgers" is overdue. its a true gem in my opinion
I remember listening to this song such a long time ago and it's still a banger to this day.
That “Ugh Nice Watch” part was used by Cole on A Tale Of 2 Citiez and on Mr Nice Watch.
Bet they won’t call J Cole a biter tho
@@ArtisanWindchimesthey won’t!! everyone else can except King Hov cos in reality he’s in a class all by himself

There is a longer remix version to this that you should check out
Jay was a beast for a veryyyy long time. My favorite albums are blueprint, rd and Kingdom come
Putting Kingdom Come next to RD and Blueprint? Nah bro. RD and BP are all time great!! Kingdom Come is mid.
@@harrykatsaros In your opinion lol. I personally love that album
and let me slip in black album cause i cant believe i didnt mention it. Thats a classic and the 9th wonder remix version is just as good.
@@Rikanlynx86 in most people opinion. Black album I can get with.
@@harrykatsaros I dont give a fuck about "most people" opinion. Its not mine bruh 🤷♂
Jay-Z - nigga what, nigga who (originator 99) ft. Amil
Friend or Foe 98 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🔥
A fckin Monster 🐐
That’s what got me was the switch up and how that beat just dropped 🔥🔥
Jay Z is so ill, there's a DJ Premier remix to this king that's dope as well, different 2nd beat
He said "Will I ever fall off? Nooooo...."
And this was said at the In My Lifetime period. Not even at the half point of his career. At that point he was just getting started and had Reasonable Doubt and In My Lifetime album wise. Crazy...
Vol 1 has so much heat on it.
Vol 1 gets hated on too much. It’s definitely his most underrated album along with American Gangster. Top 5 definitely. Remove I Know What Girls Like and Sunshine and it’s a classic. DJ Premier is the best. R.I.P. Aaliyah.
Sunshine was cool too
I think Sunshine & I know what girls like are dope tracks for what they are. You gotta talk that $h!t for the females too
Jayz first 8 albums were all classics that’s a fact
Ahmad you might as well do this whole album
Others said it, but check out the Preemo Remix. To me it’s the introduction to the flow that ultimately made Jay a household name. Too cold.
Pain in the ass doing his best impression of Al Pacino in Carlitos Way
The Blueprint was his first album that was really huge. I remember waking up early to buy it the day it came out (9/11) and there was nobody on the road, went to a couple music stores that were closed. I was like wtf. Then I found out what was going on. On top of that Walmart used to only sell censored cd's so I had to buy it again
Hard Knock Life was his 1st big album. It won a grammy for rap album of the year.
My number 1 jigga album. The movie streets is watching has a video for all the songs on the album thats hot.
Ahmad, I remember when you were on the fence about Jay Z. But that was because you only heard the commercial, post Rocafella Jay Z….. Then listening to Super Ugly changed everything!! 😂😂
Yooooooo, this is instilled in my memories 4 LIFE!!
Dude, look up the extended version with the second verse! NAAASSTTYYYY!
You should DEFINITELY do "where I'm from" off this same album...
That's "don't let me be lonely tonight" sample by Isaac Hayes played backwards
Love this album
One of his best performances ever! This is the Jay z i like, it's sad he raps this good occasionally
Gotta do Jay Z - U Must Love Me off this album
One of my favorite joints from Jay. You definitely need to check out the "dynasty intro"
I vote for doing Vol. 1-3 before Blueprint.
Peace King. Peace to the Family. Classic Jay💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
DJ Premier is cold when he does them beat switch ups.
U gotta hear You Must Love Me by Jay z...also A week ago ft too $hort...some of the best story telling u will ever hear, that's a promise !!
Classic Primo Track!🔥🔥🔥
U ever do Dear Summer by Jay?
You gotta do the premo remix now super 🔥🔥🔥
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 legendary 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Go in order, so definitely Vol 1 next
That’s what I’m saying… he should do every Jay album in order at least until the Black Album
Such an underrated album but all fire lyrics
Ahmad you should do the preemo remix A Million And One Questions (DJ Premier Remix) it's an underground classic slept on remix 🔥🔥
You gotta react to the remix
Both versions are just so amazing
So ILL
Vol 1 First. Then 2 and 3....The Volumes are all classics minus a very few select tracks.
You should do “people talking” by jay-z
Yo King you gotta do Vol 1 first. A lot of slept on joints on that project
Yo props for the preemo Jay Z classic. So Ghetto is classic along with Watch Me (Feat. Dr. Dre) Ahmad. Pain in da ass is imitating Al Pacino from Carlitos Way and Scarface in the skits. Next do Hitboy and Nas song The Tide that song is 🔥🔥
PREMO & JAY-Z!!
Isn't it ridiculous when people say Jay Z ain't hype.
Fire
DJ premier went bananas on this track.
You should go in order so you can see the progression in the artist
the Remix is even better imo
Best Jay album
There is also a remix of this
ua-cam.com/video/VY1dDmZhZ_I/v-deo.html
shyne bad boyz 🤯
I heard the beat in part 2 is the first part in reverse 🔥
Do Jay - Z where I’m From
You gotta hear the million and one questions premier remix version. The second part of that one goes harder than this one.
And people be saying Jay don’t deserve his spot smh. You definitely a hater if you say he don’t.
And so many talking bad on the boy name.And the boy a BEAST!
Top 5 Jay song.
MIXTAP JAYZ REACTION TRUST ME YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
S Dot Carter Collection
in My top 5 of premier beats
Pain in the Ass do Al Pacino impersonations from his movies Scarface and Carlitos Way
Push sanpled that beat switch on Numbers on the board
DJ Premier is genius 🔥🔥🔥
You should review the 1998 version produced by premo
Old Jay-Z so fukin good
You need to review De La Soul's "Grind Date"! Pick any song, but if I could suggest "Church" the world would be better for it! LOL
Jay Z,
"The Roc Boys"
🔥🔥
You should react to the Hard Knock Album. Thats his Breakout project that's when he really got 🔥
You can't mess with Primo man
React to Jay z come and get me
The preemo remix harder. He tells you in that one why his name is Jay Hova.
Classic Material Shit
Man you must react to DJ Quik. He's so underrated. Start with Safe + Sound and Dollaz + Sense.
The intro is a copy from the movie Carlitos Way with Pacino
