Daydrian Flores nope. Jay-z and his mentor were already rapping fast in the late 80's and early 90's. Search a youtube video called the originators and also the evolution of jay-z.
Holy s*** WOW!!! I've never seen nor possibly even heard Jay Z from his early/earlier solo years. I found this video searching for a particular song because I didn't want to go through my lists to find it. Instant gratification and all. ☺ I'm glad because, wow, this is sooo cool!
I don't know bout other dudes but I'm not a hater. I lived in that era pac and Biggie had classics that live today. He changed his style because they stole it from das effect. If anyone think of Biggie and pac lived he would be were he is either from Marcy or delusional.
This is when Pac had Brenda had a baby, keep your head up, troublesome. Came out the same time. Nobody saying j wasn't nice but be foreal. Born to die came out same time. I'm 46 and telling y'all nobody was checking for this dude. Nas dropped same time. J can't see those dudes
Was a legend but that's just my opinion. Just listening to this and what he has been producing the past 10-15 years there is no comparison, he choose the path of money and lyrics value went down slowly but surely. He is still an amazing artist there has been some bangers along the way but i just think he lost something on the way. No hate here just my honest opinion.
I was a little kid when this came out! I like this Jay-Z better than the modern day one! This is the flow and lyricism that set him apart from other rappers and solidified his place in rap history!
Nah nah he got this fast rhyming from busta Rhymes they were tight back in the early 90s. All good though. This flow is still my favorite ice berg slim💯
Now this is the Jay-z I remember. Man do I miss this era of hip hop culture but I am glad I grew up during time when all music had that edge and soul to it. Peace one Love.
He still got it..of course the old jay z is going to be the best but as time goes by rappers have to evolve because some flows..subject matter etc. starts to get old
Over 25 years of flowing at the top of the times. Then-and this is what distinguishes him from all others- being able to adapt to the changing times and change up his flow/rapping style accordingly to be at the top of the game.
Jay had a lot to say back then and now.. More then other rappers. Even back then for his fast flow, he was still kicking some real shit. He had to slow down so everybody could catch what he was saying.
Dude is a flat out fucking genius. Period. I like the different delivery. It's beyond catchy, even being different than the stuff that made him famous.
Jay was the shit back when he was hungry. After he got money he went in the studio, banged out a cheap verse in one take and whatever came out made it on the album. That Reggie Miller jersey though, I can't be mad at that.
Nope. Jay-z and his mentor were already rapping fast in the late 80's and early 90's. Search a youtube video called the originators and also the evolution of jay-z.
Y does this go so hard???? I had very low expectations for this song tbh, I never really like the old "iggity" flow he used back then prior to Reasonable Doubt, but this truly jus proves how great Hov was, he could adjust his flow with such ease, its Amazing, for ppl to not say he's a top 10 emcee they're freaking idiots
***** Lol...u are too trusting. I trust no one who calls themselves God and can perform no miracles. I know him from 1939, and he is older then me. Then and now
This man rockin' a Reggie Miller jersey in the NYC during the height of the Knicks-Pacers rivalry as a native New Yorker... Bold 😂 Serious note, young Jay was lethal!!

In my opinion he WAS a good rapper with his old style (like in this video) but I no longer respect him or call him "the truth" because he's now just a billionaire street gangster and crack cocaine dealer. You think that truth is a crack cocaine high school drop out making it big? Woow...
People dissing recovery should review it ! Recovery is the first time anyone was able to successfully mix pop with hip hop, ass difficult as that is to do taking to account the different styles ! Then he wrote good lyrics to it, making it a classic due to it originality, and the music was good ! Worst song although were the ones people liked the most which were not afraid and the way you lie ! But the way he wrote those was beautiful ! Cant take away anything from that album !

He had something, though, clearly. Something that Lyor Cohen saw that made him convince Jay to leave Dame so he could teach him the ropes.
Rap wise, I'm shocked Jay has not had this pulled off RUclips.
This was in 1994 when Nas dropped illmatic and a year before Ready to Die.

Why he's a goat. Can flow. Any tempo any beat any era. Who else?
bwahahahahahahahaah hahahah ha
@@ivancrni4504 Sounds a lot more melodic that his later stuff.
Nobody. Can't argue with facts🐐
Early Jay Z was up there. All the best golden era mcs had a unique style. No one else sounded like this.
Broo the flow!!, Literally searched up the oldest Jay-Z track and this doesn't disappoint 🔥🔥
I was a little kid when this came out! I like this Jay-Z better than the modern day one! This is the flow and lyricism that set him apart from other rappers and solidified his place in rap history!
Too bad no one paid him any mind until he toned it down and got with the times.
He’s more lyrical now tho.
At that time this flow wasn’t that original…he was actually following trends
Nah nah he got this fast rhyming from busta Rhymes they were tight back in the early 90s. All good though. This flow is still my favorite ice berg slim💯
@@mjathisbestandteachingskil6980What are you even talking about ? 😂😂😂😂
really wish more people knew about this. jay-z's masterful flow is on full display here
dope cut, even shot out dame, though he later dissed.
I been up on this since 94' when it came out. Jay has been killin' em' for years!
Does tupac knows jay z ?
He wasn’t killing shit not until he bit Nas flow 😂😂
this is GOLD.......I have heard this song many times and it never fails to impress me.
For some reason, I feel like jay has always known that he would be the king of hip hop...
yooo this Jay Z song alone just schooled the wack out of me. So much swagger, flow, and rhythmic intellectualistic genius in this piece
Now this is the Jay-z I remember. Man do I miss this era of hip hop culture but I am glad I grew up during time when all music had that edge and soul to it. Peace one Love.
hip hop is so shit now.....
Lyrics,the style, the message, the sound of his voice, quality of tracks eg great sampling and background beats/tunes
jay-z was so sick back then
Damn jay snapped on this
he did
howto42 I like how big L killed jay z on that radio freestyle and those Dj's were STILL on jay Z dick.man i fixing can't stand his voice.
howto42 that for is unrelased
Michael Luther stop hating jayz is top 5 dead or alove face it
Crazy how much worse his lyrics became
He still got it..of course the old jay z is going to be the best but as time goes by rappers have to evolve because some flows..subject matter etc. starts to get old
@BrandonRoss Exactly. You have to keep evolving because stuff gets old.
@@UcheIfeNwabuoku if evolving turns out to be trash then whats the use for? So it really depends with something badass
damn this vid makes me wanna go grab some jean shorts and some timberlands. I remember lookin' like a carpenter was the style back in the 90's
I gotta say, I wish Jay had a whole album before reasonable doubt with this flow.
yeah I was just thinking it'd be cool if he dropped some new verses flowing with this style.
this is what you wished for ruclips.net/video/6hjTjTZHhCY/видео.html
True dat
To me this era & prior is what makes him one of the illest dopest mc's
why this was boring trash
@@Z-List-Nation another man's trash is another man's treasure buddy
This is the perfect translation of flow
Ya this ain't yo dumbass yung thug rap
Old, but GOLD!
I didnt know anyone else listened to this , soooo glad, didn't know itd be on RUclips, was just hoping .. hella grateful
"If weed got you running ya mouth... You better blow that shit out"

This flow is so amazing
We all wish we could have a whole album full of songs with that incredible flow
2:22 My favorite part in the song 😁
Great song by Jay 👍🏾🔥
Yeah man. That bit's fire.
Over 25 years of flowing at the top of the times. Then-and this is what distinguishes him from all others- being able to adapt to the changing times and change up his flow/rapping style accordingly to be at the top of the game.
Damn he was really looking like Reggie Miller skinny as hell in that Jersey!
The earliest Jay-z song was from 1986.....amazing how people can grow and improve by the tenth year....
Never been a big Jay Z fan, but its amazing how he went from rocking NBA jerseys to wearing 10,000 Dollar suits
Jay had a lot to say back then and now.. More then other rappers. Even back then for his fast flow, he was still kicking some real shit. He had to slow down so everybody could catch what he was saying.
first comment of 2017. 23 years later this is still hot
The way he used to rhyme back then is extremely unique
This song is DOPE!
Dude is a flat out fucking genius. Period. I like the different delivery. It's beyond catchy, even being different than the stuff that made him famous.
I LOVE When Jay-Z Raps Fast... Thats His Best Flow To Me...
Classic flow ....take notes youngsters from us old heads
AMEN
this shit is ass unc
Been a fan since day one, and im glad he upgraded his flow
supreme flow!! it's a pity he doesn't rap like this anymore these days
This is some of the best jay-z I've heard.
Ductur Platypus you just aint paying attentiong. Hes some slicl shit here
@@eddieflores3382 Old rap is classic
I am glad this shit didn't get taken down. Like this is the only uncensored version. I love this shit
Classic from 1994! ❤️🔥
Rest in power DJ Clark Kent🕊️
He's just playing the beat with that flow! Pure skill
This video is the shit who still here bumping this song 2024?🔥🚬🔥🚬🔥🚬🔥🚬🔥🚬🔥🚬🔥🚬🔥
If rap was still like this it would have never evolved into the 10 billion dollar company it is today, and you can thank jay for contributing to that.
Dam i can't even keep up and ive been listening to this for 20 years. Lyrics are insane still
Jay was the shit back when he was hungry. After he got money he went in the studio, banged out a cheap verse in one take and whatever came out made it on the album. That Reggie Miller jersey though, I can't be mad at that.
This is so addicting
both the beat and the tongue twister flow
ikr
I don’t kick it I pawn it... that part is addictive
Addicting is not a word
Don't argue over other men. This is raw hip hop. Ain't that why you here watchin in the first place?
Legend from Marcy to Hollywood still living strong HOVA !! God bless
Cant never say jay z isn't hip hop man this dude is really legend

Don't ever sweat it when I go, I zoom back
Better than ever, never better, you better, whatever
I suggest some Ex-Lax and that'll get your shit together
I give you a snotty nose from body blows
Nobody's safe at a party even Gotti goes adios
I got-got-got Flav-flav-flav-flavor so save yours
One verse and it's a hearse I played and I slayed yours
Get it, got it, ready to flip, I doubt it
No need to prolong, Jigga the man, gone!
I'm out The next nigga never get no rest you're livin' with stress
Cause just around the corner be the best nigga
You're fearin my clout if weed got you runnin' your mouth
You better blow that shit out

I'll amaze the way that Jay rap now how in the hell did he say that?
You diggin' me the epitome of rippin' it raw
You kiddin' me no nigga that rap gettin' bigger than me

wearing a reggie jersey in NY , Jay has balls
Tony plebrano no it’s just everyone respects him in NY that’s why no one cares
Nobody ever cared in the first place LMAO
Earnest Jefferson yeah that’s true 😂
That was the style Indiana pacers jerseys went perfect with the construction Tims , everybody wore them
Reggie Miller was the shit. That jersey was the hot shit back then. Everybody wore reggies jerz
This is my my top 5 Jay z song 💪💪🔥🔥🔥🤯🎶🎧💯
Jay Z was the truth then, and still the truth now. The greatest rapper ever!!!
In my opinion he WAS a good rapper with his old style (like in this video) but I no longer respect him or call him "the truth" because he's now just a billionaire street gangster and crack cocaine dealer. You think that truth is a crack cocaine high school drop out making it big? Woow...
This dude was worth a few dollars back then... now he is worth $500 million... damn B
Alkid Lala facts
Probably 100k before rap cuz he was also selling drugs at 16
1 billion now. Greatest rapper alive.
I meant richest rapper alive.
He said 99k at the time excluding his assets and money he already blew
The grind is real! 💯
My man’s flow went down .5 in playback speed per year for 30 years straight 😂
this beat is dope

i still feel like big L would've taken over ny if he wasn't murdered in 99
Who killed him
Big L died in a car cash he wasn't murdered
Kyle Bassett that’s not true, he was murdered by Gerard Woodley in Feb ‘99
Kyle Bassett it was a drive by
Idk.. Big L can rap but his video songs werent that nice..
This is fire 🔥this came out 1 year before I was born.
"...So I bought a money machine and it goes
A tat-tit-trrrrrrr-at-tit-trrrrrt-at-tit-tit-Git-Dough..."
He should have kept this flow. Though the music industry probably would have killed him before the year 2000
what?
I'm saying he should have kept rapping in this style but he probably would have got killed like L or biggie if he did
+JTC Hip Hop Clan how would the style of a rapper get em killed?
You know that biggie pac and L were killed cos of their raps right? Illuminati and shit from what ive researched.
People think illuminati is satan worshipers but it ain't its something much bigger and worse
