@@djnation1148 I can say that about Nas but Jay is way too overrated. At the end of the day, the music speaks for itself and the comment was just stating facts. Just pointing out that you obviously had a problem with it and cared enough to comment
@ Angel Rosario kingnutz WHEN WAS THIS SHIT MADE BRO???? Damn son, Alicia is Killing it! Then they put the God MC on it? Nasir and Rakim? Damn bruh. Sick.
I know Jay is a biter but how is Empire State Of Mind stolen from this song. I see no similarities with the vocals and concepts of both songs. Y’all bugging in the comments.
(Empire) is another term for New York He stole the title along with the Artist (Alicia Keys) and made it more radio friendly unlike Nas more grimey version, believe me Jay-Z knows what he be doing
People don't realize how much Jay followed in Nas' tracks.
No. They don't want to admit it.
Who cares

I ain’t had rest since 9/11 Rakim kills this shit
Should've been released on Alicia's album like it was supposed to! Classic but a forgotten gem.
Still the hardest line in hip hop history.
Which line
@@alesalas1181 probably meant the Sadam Hussein line
@@PT4403 why did he probably mean that?
Ain’t no probably.
Rakim killed
This was and still D.O.P.E.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ALBUM…FIRE
classic material, 3 of my fave all time artists
Burnt the game
Rakim killed it sounds so good on this beat to
I wish the verses followed each other, first time in my mind Alicia was such an anticlimax
