5 of my favorite Jay-z songs/verses/freestyles of all time:
In no particular order:
Edit: Now before you all go catching feelings I know there are dozens of songs that could make this list. This is just a random 5 I was thinking about that I really enjoy, there will be more list to come. Now stop blowing up my inbox, lol.
1) Hot 97 freestyle (2006)
"IPO Hov, no need for reverse merger...baby blue maybach, like I own Gerber."
2) Politics as Usual (Reasonable Doubt, 1996)
"Sucking me in like a vacumn, I remember tellin my family I'll be back soon, that was December
Eighty-five then, Jay-Z rise ten years later got me wise still can't break my underworld tiesI wear black a lot, in the Ac', act a lot Got matchin VCR's, a huge Magnavox...."
3) Dead Presidents I (1996 Video Version Unreleased/certain versions of streets is watching feature it)
"Handlin' since a teen I dish out
Like the point-guard off your favorite team without doubt
My life ain't rosy but I roll with it
My mind was fine 'till the dough hit it
And told me that the mo' did it"

My life ain't rosy but I roll with it
My mind was fine 'till the dough hit it
And told me that the mo' did it"
4) In my Lifetime Remix (1996 Streets is watching soundtrack)
"It's the thought of a ride that make my eyes wide, I'm caught up
I'm trying to make, all of my dreams materialize, so I sorta
say my goodbyes to the straight and narrow
I found a new route, you bout to see my life change
I make the means justify the ends, I make the cream
materialize keys to a Benz, and so I'm rollin
For now, holdin down the fort, who's controllin?
The ground's gotta blow em, yep, y'all shoulda told em
Uhh, my first felony's approachin, copped my first key
Took a freeze, now I'm frozen
I bought a black Mac, I'm outta control
Losin bankrolls on blackjack, you gotta know
it always crossed my mind that Feds be tappin the lines like Gregory Hines
Still on the phone discussin my biz like it could never be mines
I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs, and the rights
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life"

5) N**** What, N**** who (99 Originator) ( Volume 2...Hard Knock Life)
"Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo..."
Never get high, never run out of ammo..."
