@@christopherhobb7702 You're right, it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance
I advice everyone to start investing and never rely on just salary. No billionaire made it through salary
That's very impressive are you giving her your money or does it stays in your trading account? What's really the idea behind the copying trades?
"if you don't find a way to make money while you sleep you will have to work hard until you old".
Jay is an icon of a business man. The rap was just his foot in the door. Respect the hustle.
Jay-Z says: I'm a business man !
Yet he is one of the best MCs ever... his skill and longevity shows me he must love hip hop and also the music will be what ppl remember 50 to 100 years after he dies not his ace of spades purchase
He’s a cornball. Sold drugs to his own people
@@ronaldbailey8676 Nothing says businessman like a big time drug dealer for the elite
@@Moneyovertruth we’ll if he plays his card right ace of spades can be a dynasty
"I'd rather die enormous than live dormant, that's how we on it"
That's the theme by which I now roll
Can I live...
I keep one eye open like CBS..ya see me stressed RIGHT
Live at the main event I bet a trip to Maui on it, viva.......
this world will siuck you in and wont let you go..
I hear ya.💯👀
Even his normal convo sounds like he spittin’ bars. Crazy.
A
Spells.
I’ve noticed that same trait in many other great artists.
No
26 years ago they told him he was garbage, today he’s considered the best rapper in the world. Moral of the story: don’t listen when people trash you, just prove them wrong.
fact, its crazy how they made roc-a-fella because no labels wanted him. Definitely a blessing in disguise
Yup just become a freemason and you'll be taken care of.
@@maxdamion1 Thanks for the advise where do i sign up?
@@mikem4904 use Google.
@@maxdamion1 do it for me and let me know
Making money is not the same as keeping it, there are a lot of things that aren't well taught in schools. The market crisis gave me my first millions, when people stayed away from hard times I made the most of it..many credits goes to Sir Zachery Micah Demers
I invest with Sir Zachery Micah Demers. I've been tracking the performance of my portfolio, which has made a staggering $473k in just the last two quarters, and I've discovered why experienced traders make such large returns in a seemingly unknown market. It has to be the most daring decision I've made in a long time.
Thanks for this tip. I just Googled his name and his website came up right away. It looks interesting so far I interacted with him and he responded right away. He is a genius
Investors should be cautious about their selections and money management, especially during inflation. Attaining high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor like Mr Zachery Micah Demers
The adviser I'm in touch with is ‘Zachery Micah Demers'. His strategy works hence my result. he provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
This is a scam comment with bot likes. Avoid.
I've always love Jay Z rap growth , he brought it to such a maturity and class
Same Jay Z was so ahead of everyone
The biggest demonstration of his pull was the sharp turn from Cristal to ace of spades after the racist comment. Whole brand switch from the industry
When he said at the start that every label he sent his music to said he sucks, that gave me a lot of hope
I just checked out UFC yeah, you gone make it.
@@wtfsamusidk7574 I had to screenshot that cuz it meant a lot to read. Thank you 💗
The standards in the 90s were different I’m not saying U won’t make it but the sound was different and labels only wanted to play it safe with people they could indefinitely crank out multi platinum albums. You could see it in every artist
Yeah that's inspirational... There will always be failures on the road to success
Keep grinding..... The time come
The fact that nobody wanted reasonable doubt is insane. Its a classic album that can be played front to back without skipping a song
Was listening to the album last night.... shits a classic!!!
@@reesyman8354 forreal. It's a album u can listen from front to back without skipping a track....
They don't make em like that anymore
FACTS!!! My favorite album of all time....bar none. I concur....I can pop it in and just ride. Even the skits are top notch. The illest!!
@Antwan Barnes ....I hear you there. Same thing here. NAS is one of my favorites. Illmatic is definitely in my personal top 5. But it is NOT as good as Reasonable Doubt from my vantage point. If Illmatic is brought up I can't really argue against it though. Personal taste is what it comes down to.
Insane my G that album is one of the greatest of all time!!! Who’s the best MC BIGGIE JAY Z or NAS!!! Hot line fire 🔥 song!!!!
Wow!!! Fast forward to 20:15 and that’s ME. Jay had a concert in Cape Town, South Africa back in 2006, and I just had to be there. I even made a t-shirt for myself 😂😂😂 Best concert experience ever
Cool asf!😁
Dope Af
Jay plays the game of chess in a unique way. Salute
Same time a was breathing him some how u was birthing him h2 o
Yea by literally killing every player off
@@1sgr1999 meh
was literally just watching chess vibes
That how I'm trying desperately to move forward Mr. Carter is the king of the culture ( hip hop) and I really pray 🙏 to my ancestors some one 🙏 please tell him to text me so he can school me on investments or joining his team 🙏
10 Grammys was insane back then! Now you have Billie whatever getting like 9 in a single night for whispering songs her brother wrote... It’s truly a shame that real talent and hard work isn’t recognized anymore like HOV. #RESPECT
Factss
I agree but Billie’s hella talented though
@@contentboxx5527 but she didn't deserve all those Grammys she was just hype that year
Lol Billie never won 9 grammys in one night though lmfao
@@nielsenmakaba5777 either way that’s not the point
I got goose bumps seeing these geniuses so young in the making. I truly wish them greater happiness.
J is a very dumb man, far from a genius.
Genius 😂😂😂 there's many other talented ppl and n businessmen who have been self made unlike Jay Z....he got the help.
You can tell that he had a strong passion for success. Thanks for posting.
Jay-Z got me through alot growing up in my teen years and late 20's just dropping jewels in his music made me understand that he's not just a rapper, he's very enlightened, awakened and intelligent..I am not surprised by his success, he was destined for greatness and helped many people listening...I was street smart and wasn't even in the streetd lol but I was home listening to EVERY ALBUM...yes 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Exactly! His music was and still the sound track to my life
@@abiolafolarin9321 🙌
Yes his music was my bible. He enlightened me a lot
I concur 😇
Most important artist hands down!! Sound track of aging man!!
Shout out to the editor! You pieced together some history! Great content! I don’t know why people thumb down this video.. IJS..

@@australium7374 That album was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥....
Marketing strategy
@@yani2499 👍
i find it sad that at the start of this video you can see how much love everyone has for albums and projects and just the package as a whole. the expression and artistic approach early rappers took with their albums will never be replicated. singles are cool, but nothing beats listening from 1-12 and feel like you just watched a movie.
Hey there’s this dude Kendrick Lamar, he’s kinda good. Maybe check him out
@@silentsage2462 not a fan of kendrick. as much as i think hes a good artist, what he writes about just doesnt relate to me so its hard for me to fully understand the amazement with him. His projects are well made etc i just think im to white and not educated enough to the oppression that went on over there therefore its not as impactful to me.
@@taylorcliff6609 I don’t think being white or experiencing racial oppression has anything to do with the quality of the music but okay..
And your whole point was that artists essentially don’t put enough creative effort into how the formulate their albums. I can’t think of another rap artist from any decade that is more creative then Kendrick is in terms of his album concepts and the effort it takes to see them through.
@@silentsage2462 it doesnt, which is why i stated he was good, twice but i will never sit here and say im a massive fan or influenced by something that has had no impact on me or that i enjoy something that im completely ignorant to. not saying kendrick isnt a great artist but i personally don't put him in my top 20 because his targeted audience isnt me and i relate to nothing he says. nothing wrong with anything ive said either. his first 3 albums were talking about issues he faced in his community, which i wont sit here and pretend to know anything about. whats worse, is die hard fans of artists loving songs and repeating them without knowing any of the history or meaning behind it.
Much love.
Jay so humble and really really calculated how he handles the question between him and dame dash! that’s why he’s so respected.
Humble ??? 😂😂😂 u bugging
More like black baller
How can people listen and read and not understand anything ... smh . Big foot is right
He’s FARRR from humble 😂
What a comprehensive anthology this is. I watched it twice and am saving it for my sons. This is the music of my era and my lifetime.
Jay never stood on his own he always stood with others, but kept it business and not personal, if you was moving you thrived with him, if you was comfortable you got left behind. Thats how mentors and bosses role.
,
Jay-Z hands down have some of the best rap songs ever to hit the Mainstream Music Scene..I mean they come to life and you feel the Spirit of every word being recited over them beats....
TRUTH
False tupac has that title
All eyes on me and me against the world says otherwise
But isn't that the effect of rap music of not all music in general ??
Tupac was a better rapper then jay-z , jay-z and beyonce worship satan , that is how he got famous, do your research before you comment.
Jay is addicted to hip hop like fiends are addicted to crack. Because he has been quitting since 96, and in 2020 he is still dropping music
Yessir
2021
@Johnny St.Louis it is absolutely a marketing trick
@Johnny St.Louis I don’t think so. It would be very poor marketing, if so. The world would have saw through that at least a decade ago if he was just saying that to sell records.
Terrible analogy!!! You must be a fanboy.
I've been following him since hard knock life. The man literally has done it all and still doing more. And of course he changed everybody changes but it's what you change into. Jay progressed.
Go back further than that album!!
I have been rocking with this man since Roc La Familia officially, and then I went back and listened to all of his prior albums. This man is a legend; Feelin' it, regrets, never change, guess who's back, song cry, party life.. the list goes on and on for me, thank you HOV
His story seems like something out of a fiction novel. Truly. From having reaching the pinnacle of success with his third album, creating a label with iconic artists, creating businesses that amassed him a BILLION dollars, and marrying a bombshell and world class talent wife. I can’t believe JayZ isn’t talked about incessantly 🤯
Yes Jay Z(JEEGAMAN) is good Poet,Business Man and other talent.H music still is G.Funkcy...!!!
His still music...
You also described trump lol
Groundbreaking individual. HipHop's first billionaire, first induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, tie for most GRAMMY nominated artist in history and most GRAMMY wins by a HipHop artist, the only post 2000 HipHop album to be inducted into the US Congress Arts Archive with "the Blueprint" and the list goes on. More importantly tho he stayed true to his character and the words he spoke in his debut album. From never dumbing down and staying lyrically ahead of the rest, still at 51 to his REFORM alliance and his bid to challenge drug laws, this man is ONE of a kind. One of one, period. Young HOV the GOAT, Shawn Carter the King!
Jay Z an icon, he did it in the golden era and still today. Adaptability.
This man has literally done it all.
#GOAT
The most detailed documentary I saw about Jay, he's a legend
I see big things for the future of this channel if you stick to shit like this 🔥🔥💯

Jay smooth as hell. Love his outlook on things and the way he Dodge questions or should I say response to questions he consider to be stupid
This is a great documentary. Great bro. 15:28 for those who thought Jay played Dame, here you can hear this mans game plans from what he said. He thought he owned Jay, calling Jay his staff, his biggest artist. Nah, Jay was too smart for him and too good to him to even be with him that long. That nigga planned on milking Jay like a cow.
That's why I watch my "friends"
Realest comment on here.
Jay was protecting his money, I can realize that Dame Dash would’ve done the same exact thing
Nah lyor tapped jay on the shoulder IYKYK!!!
So why didn’t Jay have the guys to tell him that instead of being sneaky about it and having Dame find out the way he did?
Jay Z is such an inspiration... especially if you make music have aspire to be successful 💪🏻
the blue print has to be one of the most important albums that came into my life age 16 it gave me ambition unfortunatly id already been "gangsterfied" buying life after death age 10 crack commandments had already skewed my path.But Jay z helped give me the right type of mindset that led to success . the black album came at a dark time for me and gave me strength and the blue p 2 got blasted loud!
Jay be over rated
Hooooold up. You act like The 10 crack Commandments was a lie? It was literally street truth. Let's not act like Jay didn't have rhymes about selling crack. Did you post this because you're thinking Biggie was a terrible influence or just the fact that those type of songs may have misconstrued some youth?
@@chrisakabusi3224 so is ya moms.
@@akwwalker8782 biggie was a rapper who rapped about his struggles. jay z a messenger for all the hustlers and ambitious peoples. to me jayz earlier music is scripture. he literally gave us the blueprint.
@@hanzoY248 ? Yes, I know? I actually said that.
Jayz said every album was supposed to be his last was to make him get a high record sell.
That’s what young dolph doin rn
“Treat everything like it’s your first”
Yo, this is a smart man right here. I’m feeling extremely motivated by the things that Jay Z is saying here. Good stuff man, much respect
From Marcy Projects to BILLI .. Jay-z life should be in a movie!
You spent time putting this together. Great work!
Why would anyone thumb down this video ? It's a great piece of history on the greatness of Hov ...Great work !
Nice very well put together video. I realized i grew with jayz since i was in the 5th grade with a hard knock life. I remember my friends mom took us to taco bell in her car and the song was playing on the radio. It was hard growing up.
I can literally watch this all day, every day. Hov the GOAT, the master artist, master rapper, a MASTER business, man, a pop culture icon. So inspirational, makes me want to grind and hustle hard as shit!😤
This channel is going places it has some of the most intriguing documentaries once u start watching u can't get enough
It's still amazing how one take a single step forward and keep taking more steps forward without falling back or looking backwards... Exceptional grace and outstanding talent manifestation!! Go Hov
Jaz y is very intelligent my opinion and your music is the most inspiring movement in my Life!
I live on his music it help me become who iam today.. All the way from South Africa Johannesburg...
Mr. Carter is such an inspiration and this video was such a great rundown of some of his legacy. His charitable contributions and foundation are also key components of his success.
Him and Brady have a similar story at the beginning of there careers and now they are both living the good life..they worked hard!!!
Brah chill out.
Jay z u got rhymes and you pick tight beats,you got a good ear to hip hop blessings.
Great video 🔥 The man is an icon and he will b remembered in the history of rap music for quite some time.... Indeed his name will forever be Young 😉
Now that’s what you call a hustler.
Rather die enormous than live dormant perfect ending!!!
Dont speak of dying ...greetings from Jamaica
You’re channel is about to blow up keep working
Thanks for supporting!
This is about to be my favorite fucking channel keep this shit up man. This was amazing
Easy to forget how great son is dam we all watched his journey but few aspired to climb the Mountain behind him fuck it I’m next
Am inspired too
Go get that 💯
Dame was to loud...Jay Z fugured that out quick and moved like a silent assassin...
Look at this young man doing the CHALLENGE ahead of time ... bless you, and your family, Jay Z!
I like how Jay z did like 10 different album covers at one spot probably in one day. Now that is a true hustler!!!!! And it is even more hard-core if he didn't even have songs yet to fill those albums yet. You can't knock the hustle!!!!!!!!
He wasnt very rich back then so had to be economical with the drug money, I seen it in a documentary
Now I get why j is successful, he always put the best he could in all his albums because he thought they wer his last...I guess he just puts the best in everything he does knowing it could be the only time he be doing it he's always thinking ahead of his time
First time I heard Jay. I was in Coxsackie correctional.
As soon as I heard the album I knew it was a hit.
Reasonable was a mix of Biggie, Nas and AZ.
Jay has deff come a long way and must be in the top 5 conversations always. He may not be my #1 rapper but he most deff is in my top 5 . An he has gone a long way longer then any rapper that I have grown up listening to. An has become the 1st rapper to reach billionaire status
They were the BEST MARKETERS…. my last album… my last album… my last album… 🔥
Hi @Growingpains, from the way you've done the vídeo.. The keenly detailed compilation.. You could tell that you really appriciate what he does.. And what you do as well..

These so-called rappers in 2021 can’t compete with Jay Z
Facts only 90's & 80's rappers can
Real talk
True and most of these new rappers especially Southern rappers have the nerve to say jayz is overrated he has way more classics than any of new these rappers in the 20 years you probably won't even remember half of these new rappers
"i'd rather die enormous than live dormant thats how we on it........"
Another great video, who you doing next?
Hopefully Kanye
Thanks for always showing love! I'm not sure yet, but Kanye would be a good one!
Jay always was playing chess ♟ while everybody else was playing checkers😄
Long term thinking. It’s that simple
yeah even early on the way he thought, the way he acted more business like and professional, that made him stand out. he surrounded himself with guys that knew how to make deals.
Yea.. HE Surrounded HIMSELF Wit THEM PPL!! FK JAY Z -2PAC
@@emoney8368 what you think Pac was doing? 😂 you think he was clean
No lie... I just told my dad that before seeing your comment at the end of the day... you got some insight yo! Respect
Jay z was playing chess frfr …it’s a reason why lebron don’t sign long term deals because the salary cap goes up every season…. So teams would try to lock a franchise type player in with a 5 plus year contract knowing damn well that player only loses money that way …. Jay was only signing 1 or 2 album joint deals witch means after every album we gotta renegotiate that was fucking genius for a NEW YORK rapper at that time…. He kept saying This my last album 😂😂😂 that man was 3 steps ahead of everybody
Salute to the OG Shawn Carter, who been making his last album since 1996.The Game needed him too much.
The greatest of all time. Even if you not a fan you can’t deny it
28:25 I was at the same club in Fayetteville NC on Brag when J-COLE & others were doing Rap Battles. Jay-Z & his team of Security hopped out, & walked in the Club. They had deep interest in J-COLE. Walked him out & signed him to ROC NATION on the spot. I will never forget that night. #910StandUp 🎙🎼🎵🎶🎤🎧♥♥♥
Ion care what anybody say…this is a talented man that is SMART asf & plays the hell outta the game 💯 Keep kiiliin em Hov 🐐
Well put together....and this is why Hov deserves everything he has....
Reasonable doubt is one of my top 3 albums of all time
He made all the right moves
JAYZ is for real. He came and took up where the likes of Pac and Biggie left off... He's just so good that we need not make comparisons.
they didnt left off,they where stopped
@@elfantastico83 right
Watchers in March 2021
You are a legend too
One thing I got from this is dash was never wrong his initiation is amazing. The he wasn’t wrong about a lot of people he just had a aggressive way of explaining it but as humans we need to learn to listen to all ways of expression
I'm so happy that Jay-z has reached the success that he has. Beside every good man is a woman, whether it's his wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, etc. I love to see a man change and become the best he can be, father, brother, son, etc. Now that's he's a Billionaire I hope that he invest in his community and help to create generational wealth for others...pay it forward.
That was a amazing video bro 👏 I have to get into film making been putting it off for year's
That clip him bringing out J.Cole on stage still great to see
Jay's face when he first heard Dirt off ya shoulder beat😂😂🤣🔥
I hope this legend makes a comeback we fucking need good music
Listening to his music before his first album is awesome to me, because I can remember that
This was excellent work
this is really well put together...
Jay-z in rare form. The best era in rap/hip-hop.
Wayne Prime era the greatest
