I was at a Reasonable Doubt concert in 1996. I wasn’t into rap anymore as I had turned 30. I walked past Jay-Z and into the kitchen while he was rapping on our dance floor. I listened from the kitchen.
This was RAW....ORGANIC....PURE....Hip Hop shit...boy was fresh out the streets and honing his chops as a Main Event nigga who grew to BECOME A LIVING LEGEND...and don't get it fucked up...BOY HAD BARS AND STILL GOT BARS...at 52 years old....CRAZY....THIS IS ROCK N ROLL SHIT
I love RD It gives me chills and takes me to back it’s up but it’s not as good as ILLmat by nas my ng! NAS WAS 19! Listen to it front cover and you’ll seen
This video is so ill! Jay was offering basic hand gestures and just rhyming. Lol these people in the crowd probably had no idea they were witnessing a legend in the making. It's amazing the growth he's undergone as an entertainer.. No longer stiff and uncomfortable on the stage, but is able to move 20,000 plus. Respect to one of the best to ever do it.
Yeah that Shirt is the Truth!! I'm just seeing this Concert. It could've been better. Not his best Concert. Not enough Songs. Unless it's another Footage. This is the End.
Love this vid- you can see that the Rocafella label and image hadn't completely congealed yet. The come-up is always the most enjoyable aspect of success in IMO.
Jigga man!!!!!! Love from Alabama.... I remember when I FIRST heard that album I was in the 10th grade and my homeboy told me about Jay Z, he said "YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS"!... man I played that CD so many times till ring like scratches was on it. I got EVERYONE hooked on Rocafella y'all uuhhh!!!! So between Rocafella and Suave House... Nothing else was playing in my ride for a LONG TIME! And NOW the ironic thing y'all... My wife is from Brooklyn!!! How crazy is that!!... And when I met her I KNEW that's NY... Brooklyn chicks a WHOLE other thug girl.... I can honestly say them chicks is just like what Jay and Foxy said... Crazy story!
some one must build a time machine so people who actually appreciate classic hip hop dont have to suffer through the garbage on the radio anymore. I really cant take it anymore
It would of been dope if pac still had chance to respond back. Jay Z had a lot of potential back then; he would of still been a legend if 2pac & biggie lived.
I don’t know what Hov tickets were going for in 1996 but man this crowd lucked out and saw a master at work. Even the nosebleed seats for his shows now might lead you to bankruptcy!!
Since Moneys respected you know I had to get it, collect it like antiques and let it stack bddddrrrrrrrrrr like that, I mastered the fast shii now I move on, cause too many bastardz trying to get they groove on 🔥🔥🔥🔥 95-96 Jay
Jay used to put on such great shows now unless he's in new York or Paris he only plays a 45 minute half ass show..I guess since he's Hova he can do that tho haha
Seem like Jay wasn't well prepared for this shit. He came with it but you can tell he was stumbling a little bit but he held it together and still gave a good show. In a way I don't see him as a sucka for forgetting his rhymes when he comes with so much bravado. He made due and gave a performance the ones in the crowd won't forget. Jay's a legend and I love him.
@murph277v He did have the balls, a few months before D.O.A came out krs-one dropped a song called 'robot' with buckshot that talks about the exact same thing, autotune.
Oh 💩!...takes tape from dude in front, asks WHO?..WHERE?: "Heath St. ... Mission Hill"👉2 pj's in Boston....hadda be a show in Boston '96...who knew. Mission my old hood...❤HOME👊
nah its not at all, he jus does tht money machine sound same as he does in the third verse of i cant get with that, but this verse is completely different.
I don't get why people get upset cuz somebody wanna be successful n get away from the hood. That shit ain't somethin to celebrate. U get money to get away from that shit. If I had his money u wouldn't see me in the hood unless I came to help the unfortunate.
that versace sport polo is fire
I was at a Reasonable Doubt concert in 1996. I wasn’t into rap anymore as I had turned 30. I walked past Jay-Z and into the kitchen while he was rapping on our dance floor. I listened from the kitchen.
You stopped listening to Rap and Jay was barely getting started.
This was RAW....ORGANIC....PURE....Hip Hop shit...boy was fresh out the streets and honing his chops as a Main Event nigga who grew to BECOME A LIVING LEGEND...and don't get it fucked up...BOY HAD BARS AND STILL GOT BARS...at 52 years old....CRAZY....THIS IS ROCK N ROLL SHIT
Man that Versace shirt looks so fresh
Best Album Ever!
Jay Frost it just maybe no bs and jay not even my fav rapper
100%
I love RD It gives me chills and takes me to back it’s up but it’s not as good as ILLmat by nas my ng! NAS WAS 19! Listen to it front cover and you’ll seen
But this is probably my 2mcd or favourite
This confidence on stage is a product of being on tour with Kane and Jaz.
This video is so ill! Jay was offering basic hand gestures and just rhyming. Lol these people in the crowd probably had no idea they were witnessing a legend in the making.

I can tell you’re white just by reading this you really still say “I’ll”
@@christophertoole6994 the comment is 7 years old smh
@@christophertoole6994 JAY-Z was a monster (27 yo)🤣✌
I am so glad Jay got better on stage but it's still great to see how far he came.
The goat.
Reasonable doubt is the greatest rap album ever!!!!
He's Come A long way...just look at his sets now...LEGEND!
@@businesswalks8301exactly cause they got weaker this was his best stage presence the most organic
LIVING LEGEND OF HIP HOP CULTURE PERIOD....
I been looking for that Versace shirt everywhere
man you ain’t lying
Yeah that Shirt is the Truth!! I'm just seeing this Concert. It could've been better. Not his best Concert. Not enough Songs. Unless it's another Footage. This is the End.

Fucking legendary. Reasonable Doubt was and is an amazing album.

I miss the jay z and dame dash duo
some one must build a time machine so people who actually appreciate classic hip hop dont have to suffer through the garbage on the radio anymore. I really cant take it anymore
thanks for saying classic and not real
Ever heard of CDs or iPhone playlist. Jays the only modern rapper who I can still bump to. Tom ford is the shit.
joe morley obviously I've heard of it but I was referring to actually seeing the concert live
6 years later and it got worse.Everytime i say it cant get more fucked up than this,it gets.
@@denizsahin7851 brudda just listen old music and stop complaining
👑🐐since 1997...
Classic gold shhh right here. Damn 🔥🔥
he's so much better as a live performer now
baggy versace polo, dope! classic shit
It would of been dope if pac still had chance to respond back. Jay Z had a lot of potential back then; he would of still been a legend if 2pac & biggie lived.
the greatest to ever do it
happy 49th birthday sean corey carter aka rapper jay-z !!!!
