:to:top 5 jay z for me :whew:

all 3 of these mcs poured their hearts into the song and gave some of the most insightful and heartfelt lyrics

this is one of those songs were the lyrics, beat and production all form this bond. it's like all 3 are really one because they share this common tone with the subject and sound of the song

kanye hadn't even given us those blueprint beats yet and was already makin' a name for himself :ohlawd:


a classic in every way :wow:

Was thinking about this track over the weekend.

"My life is gettin too wild
I need to bring some sort kinda calm to it
Bout to lose it; voices screamin "Don't do it!"

Great chemistry on this. Wish we had that Mac n Brad album around this time because 'Mom Praying' is equally as dope.

Really? It started out dope as fukk with that Intro and whatnot, but ehh...I really didn't like where Jay was going from 99-01.

I thought it had about 3 weak tracks, but everything else was excellent and consistent. Amil fukked up a couple of tracks, but other than that, that album had bangers
