It’s was the intro to The Dynasty album that’s why it was short and he was talking most of the time. He was setting the mood for the rest of the album. Edit: Ennis was Bill Cosby’s son who got killed while changing a tire on the side of a highway. “Knowing I can go go just switching a spare, on the highway of life”
@@s001til Reasonable Doubt is top three and his lyrical prowess is amazing but it was no weak song on The Blueprint the production was crisp it was his best album
Allure is one of them ones too, you should def check that one out. When he said “in the key of life on my mental piano” he was referencing a Stevie wonder album called “songs in the key of life”.
“Knowing I can go , just switching a spare on the highway of life…” “every time some body like Ennis was mentioned I would turn green (with envy)…” “Him living adventurous… I’m braving temperatures below zero no hero no father figure…” Ennis Cosby was killed changing his tire when someone tried to rob him he was Bill Colby’s son. Jay was saying while he was starving on the park bench Ennis didn’t have to want for anything and while he had no father figure Ennis had americas tv dad as his actual father in Bill Cosby. Even knowing what happened to him on the highway of life he was still envious of him.
U gotta check out J’s Grammy Family freestyle. “They say Hov got flows/though he’s no BIG or Pac but he’s close/How I’m suppose to win? they got me fight’n ghost”🔥 He went crazy on there🙌🏾
Please with Jay-Z songs use rap genius or something similar. I say this because he uses entendres often and even sends shots in his party tracks. There is a straight forward listening experience then there is the knowing how he was clowning the competition in plain sight.. The Ennis Cosby line was 🔥🔥..
The Jay Z version of the beat is the original, Wayne and Juelz's version of the beat was a reworked version by Play N Skillz 2 producers from Houston, TX...that same beat was also used by Chamillionaire in his Mixtape Messiah 2 tape
A few Hov tracks Allure Regrets Feelin It Can I live U Don’t Know Can’t Knock The Hustle Imaginary Player The City Is Mine Politics As Usual Lucky Me Somehow Someway This Can’t Be Life It’s On Heart of The City PSA
People take this music too seriously. Man listen to who you want to, there are no sides. The thing I hate about “our people” is that they act like there is no room for everybody. You always gotta like one and hate on the other. We the only culture that seems to do that. All this talent we have and classics we put out and gotta worry about our own people hating on us. I don’t get it.
“The theme song to the Sopranos” “Got myself a gun” 🧐 I wonder who went on to make a song with that title later on in their career?… But fans would have you believe the influence Jay had/has was minimal…
@@Alkheezy I'll give Jay credit in that he influence a ton of rappers, especially in the early to mid 2000's. Pretty much every commercial rapper at that time got some of their style from Jay-Z, especially East Coast rappers. Even the whole swag style at the time. But as far as the person who's song you mentioned...I think we both know who influenced who in that situation lol
Great reaction!! Consider going back a little further in time to react to Krs-1 “Step into a World” Eric B & Rakim “Follow the Leader” Queen Latifah “Latifah’s Had it up to Here” Big Daddy Kane “Raw” or The Juice Crew “Symphony” w Masta Ace, Craig G, Kool G Rap & Big Daddy Kane ✌🏾

Jay-Z always has the best intros...
Yeah…his intros be epic as phuck!
That's how albums started back then...injoy the ride homie
One of the best intros ever. Street is watching or Say Hello would be one of them ones.
True
How's nobody mentioning "No Hook".
🔥🔥🔥 another fire intro he got is A Million and One Questions/Rhyme No More and The Ruler’s Back
💯💯💯 exactly
💯💯👍🏾 exactly
Bruh Jay z went dumbbbb on this shit
Best Intro ever. And my opinion The Dynasty is his best album.🔥🔥🔥
Naw his best album is The Blueprint
@@TheLieKillaJrNaw. It’s Reasonable Doubt
@@s001til Reasonable Doubt is top three and his lyrical prowess is amazing but it was no weak song on The Blueprint the production was crisp it was his best album
@@TheLieKillaJr True.

This intro is elite writing
JAY-Z Bring it On and Neva Change
The Dynasty was a tough project!
This was Jay's Peak. Squeeze 1st is my favourite on this
Jay-z "Hovi Baby" 🔥
'Streets is Talking' with Beans off this album... 🔥
That key of life bar was the name of Stevie Wonder's Album
Songs in the Key of Life is the name of a Stevie Wonder album..

Enis line relates to bill cosby son dying on highway changing his tire
“Knowing I can go , just switching a spare on the highway of life…” “every time some body like Ennis was mentioned I would turn green (with envy)…”
“Him living adventurous…
I’m braving temperatures below zero no hero no father figure…”

@@ezekwuhahahahahaha it’s one of the best hip hop albums of all time and easily Jay’s best
@@robpayne2918 only songs i care for are D'evils, Can I Live, Coming of Age, and Regrets...
U gotta check out J’s Grammy Family freestyle. “They say Hov got flows/though he’s no BIG or Pac but he’s close/How I’m suppose to win? they got me fight’n ghost”🔥

On that album you got to do 1900 hustler. And this can’t be life
BIG and too short, the world is filled
Full album reviews of Jay is needed. Start with RD and go song for song. Have genius up. It’s easy to miss stuff.
Everything isn’t just about spitting sometimes you gotta enjoy the vibe
This was the best intro
You have a classic
"Stilmatic 'intro" Nas
It ain't as good...

You should do squeeze 1st off of the same dynasty album... it's 🔥
And Streets Is Talking with Sigel
Best song on that album is squeeze 1st. matter of fact, the 2nd verse is the hardest 16 Jay ever spit....
It's an Intro bro. That's where they use to talk their shit at.
He left 🌎
We here fam..put it in the air
Best jay z verse
Appreciate it good brother. Let's go 3 for 3...
Vol 3 intro tough too
Intro, Interlude and Outro. They got all three verses on one track on YT.
This is an intro song. That's why he took long to start rapping.
I remember this in my first whip. Couldn't tell me shit.
If you like this, you’d love Mos Def’s song called “Hip-Hop”. Shit is so cold and it’ll keep you in ur Brooklyn bag after this Jay joint. Salute🫡
Need to react to Nas Stillmatic intro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A few Hov tracks
Allure
Regrets
Feelin It
Can I live
U Don’t Know
Can’t Knock The Hustle
Imaginary Player
The City Is Mine
Politics As Usual
Lucky Me
Somehow Someway
This Can’t Be Life
It’s On
Heart of The City

He was shooting at Nas with the opening line and later on.
Key of life line came from the name of a Stevie Wonder album
The Dynasty album was my favorite from Jay Z.

Jay Z is an overrated doodoo who can't even hold a candle to Kendrick Lamar
You really wanna compare who influenced who more?
@@anthonyanderson9303 never said more.. just trying to let people see it wasn’t a one way street

@@anthonyanderson9303Jayz influenced Nas on got yourself a gun. Why must you guys argue just for the sake of it
Hov set the bat on this intro. That's why Wayne and Santana had to go hard.
A Week Ago-Jay Z ft Too Short
The last bars were shots at Nas
Check out the song Blueprint 2 by Jay z
You wanna hear Hov dumb out, You GOTTA do Lyrical Exercise
hovi baby is that one
I have some Under ground fire. "Furious Anger" Shyheim Ft. BIG L...you won't be disapointed
Stevie Wonder with beads under the durag

Ends is bill cosby's son who was killed changing his tire
Nahhh Enos was a cop on the show The Dukes Of Hazard.
That’s why he mentioned being on the park benches…when them cops come you run lol
Enis is a cop from the show Dukes of Hazzard
He’s talking about Cosby son who was murdered
Jay-Z - Regrets, Allure, This Life Forever, D'evils, Can I Live, Politics as Usual
Wait til you hear the intro to Nas’ Stillmatic >>>>>>>>>>>
Both classics both intros are tough 🔥🔥 in a time where intros were very important it was the tone setter I miss the intro days
Got to do Peanut Da Don (RIP)-D.I.M.S this who T.I. Had and dropped the ball on
Great reaction! For Jay z you should always use Genius tough. You missed 50% of the bars
Nas memory lane!!!!
Great reaction!! Consider going back a little further in time to react to
Krs-1 “Step into a World”
Eric B & Rakim “Follow the Leader”
Queen Latifah “Latifah’s Had it up to Here”
Big Daddy Kane “Raw” or
The Juice Crew “Symphony” w Masta Ace, Craig G, Kool G Rap & Big Daddy Kane
✌🏾
Do Terror Squad " In for life"
Was Big Pun crew 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"1,2 ya'll" Memph Bleek Jay-Z. Nas diss
Allure and Justify My Thug off the black album please
Tupac was a little much, as i got older, i can look back and be honest about that, still obe of my favorites , but he was a bit extra at times😂
React to Song Cry..
What's crazy Is that you think Wayne and Santana ser the bar...no Sir...Hov set the bar..they had to jump up to the challenge.
I'm new to your channel, Fam. I like your taste. Please check out DJ Muggs ft. Kool G Rap - Real Life. Kool G goes INSANE
He barely raps on this shit 😩😂😂😂
Why so impatient you got to let the song build up.
Reasonable doubt Album
