It's funny when I hear people say the likes or DMX and PAC are better than this man. Objectively, they do not come close to him. Unfortunately though, rap will always be subjective, so....🤷
The verse one was he spit in the backstage freestyle session with DMX and that bodyguard. We appreciate it more here because we heard the full track. But you just hear people saying that X murdered J, this and that....
Jay-Z sampled the song from my grandfather he was in a group with questlove's fatherly Andrew called Congress alley Jay-Z and dr. Dre both sampled the beat
Damn this is definitely In My Life Time Vol.1 Jay. That Bobby Fischer/Fresh (film) reference tho. One of my all-time favors. I just can't lose when I was young I was like Fresh Poppa raised me to chess moves ... Over my years I've seen Rooks get tooken by the Knight Lose they Crown by tryna defend a Queen Checkmate, in 4 moves the Bobby Fischer of rap with raw moves
There's a remix of Blue Magic with a choir...kind of, it makes up the melody of the whole record. I've been looking for it for a long time. If you know it please share, it came from a mix tape or something.
"couldn't talk about it if you ain't live it". Jay truly lived that life, he's just laid back which makes it hard for people to believe that he actually did.
![Jay-Z - This Life Forever (Black Gangster Soundtrack)[Lyrics]](/img/1.gif)
Jay is one of the most witty/metaphorical rappers of all time. This song alone is full of gems.
It's funny when I hear people say the likes or DMX and PAC are better than this man.

@@chineduonyeoziri7408nothing subjective about what you just said. Its all facts
"This Life Forever" off the Black Gangster soundtrack (Donald Goines novel)
This nigga dropped endless gems on this
JUST HEARD THIS IN 2020...HOV IS A PROBLEM !!!!
‘97….c’mon man…
Hov is 🐐
Why did he exclude this off Volume 1? Cmon Hov...
Iceberg MM RD came out 96’ This track came out 97’ Dawg.
This song was actually pre reasonable doubt. Jay just didn't drop it until later.
One of Jay’s most lyrical tracks
Because he was up against DmX and Pun at that time. Had to take it back to the streets after vol 1
The verse one was he spit in the backstage freestyle session with DMX and that bodyguard.
We appreciate it more here because we heard the full track.
But you just hear people saying that X murdered J, this and that....
Classic Jigga right here 🔥🔥🔥
Hell fucking yeah
Jay-Z sampled the song from my grandfather he was in a group with questlove's fatherly Andrew called Congress alley Jay-Z and dr. Dre both sampled the beat
Early Jay was a beast
Sue him for everything he's got
Terrence McCardell It’s obvious that the sample cleared. You can’t use a sample without the rights or permission.
@@unclebrotha6098 Relax. It was a joke.
Terrence McCardell Lol no it wasn’t. But it’s cool.
Gipp hating on Jay brought me here. Stop playing with Jay’s contribution to the music 🙏🏾
Gipp didn't come like Jigga so songs like this he wouldn't understand.
Back when hip hop beats used to knock.
This beat wasn’t pretty basic.. Jay flow jus so nasty dat it makes up for it..
*was
Jay is cold like the winter
Young Hov, Forever Young.
Damn this is definitely In My Life Time Vol.1 Jay. That Bobby Fischer/Fresh (film) reference tho. One of my all-time favors.
I just can't lose when I was young I was like Fresh
Poppa raised me to chess moves

Over my years I've seen Rooks get tooken by the Knight

Kinda surprised he did this track freestyle with dmx. Thought you didn't write!
DatDamKeyid That session with dmx was a cypher, this track had already been recorded
@@Breeze06 yea yea n iggas don't know... dmx wrote it.. LMMMFFFAAAOOO
DatDamKeyid he don’t write
He calles him Kid 46 times too many and that flow was mediocre at best.
