This is a feestyle done on cam when Jay was young,yeah,the time he didn't pre-write his spits,his flow is sick.

Young Jay-Z Freestyle

lol his style is similar to that of RUN DMC...............I hate his style...........But hiis Lyrics were Ill...................And he looked like he was Goin to church

i agree, Sound like RUNDMC 4sho

Jay-z was so much better when he was younger, his lyrics were fuckin sharp and had mad flow.

^^^Everybody does

Eminem
Three 6 Mafia
Dmx
Ja Rule
Canibus

It just the point that your hungry for the mic

20 years later you're 30 - 40 and rapping is something you shouldn't be doing

Look at L L Cool J

~1~

On the real, if Jay kept improving off Reasonable Doubt he would easily be the king off hip-hop. In my Lifetime was garbage and So was Hard Knock life and every other album (Blueprint 1 was aight). It's so depressing how he's career is in shambles now, when he started he had so much fuckin potential.

peace

^lol... you are the funniest kid in this thread

career in shambles? he earned an estimated amount of 24 million in 2002.

maybe not his career, but maybe his talent and skill level.

but think about it... why stop making commercial tracks, when they're taking you out of poverty, to please people who are not even your fans.shit he dropped so many gems... he doesn't need to please you non-believers anymore.


Muthafucka your broke, what the fuck you gonna tell me.

All of Ya'll be trippin me out. Jay-Z is a tight ass Emcee, commercial or not. If you listen to his shit, he got the multis, punches, meta's wordplay flow and all that shit that ya'll netcees put in catagories. He just uses it to talk about money, and guns and shit, where as all these "pureist" talk about wack mc's and battlin' all the time. But it's the same thing.

jays shit is good its just hes become a not to well followed emcee in the game
