Pictures from Jay-Z's The Dynasty album release party back in 2000

[Kinguno]

Those fits are so trash but back in the day were so fire

 

[Bugsmoran]

@stomachlines no, they're not going to be top 5...well I don't know who's hot in the white community so I can't speak on Carmen, and I don't follow all the IG/reality tv/ nfl & nba groupie "socialites" to know whose pics to post, but I've seen enough threads in TLR and seen who men in my life are following on social media and them chicks aren't up to par. Ananda might be facially if she picked up today's makeup and hair trends, but her body falls way behind.

You're tripping

Loved the iceberg era tho

i had a black Bart Simpson ICEBERG HISTORY sweater.


so much money blown on clothes. and then when them goddamn jerseys started poppin off.

 

[Offthegrid]

Album introduced me to kanyes production

 

[re'up]

LOL @ the denim suits looking like the Dre meme ones...."Dynasty" ended up being a dope album, but I remember I wasn't and still never really felt "I Just Wanna Love You" for anything more than 9th grade nostalgia. My friend's older cousin tried putting us on all the weird sexual references (or his interpretations) in the song, but I still didn't fukk with it.

 

[KingJay]

I'll always have a weak spot for Rashida Jones

I'm bout to listen to The Dynasty album to see how well it's held up. The intro on that motherfukker was always nice.

Squeeze First stands the test of time to me, love this verse:

See when I'm low in digits, I push blow in a blizzard
I'm a player for real, I post and pivot
Coke distribute, be where the ghostes visit
Where the demons live, shyt my scene is vivid
Squeamish kids, y'all get the fukk outta this verse
It's about to get so obscene in a minute
I seen and live it, I did some things I admit it
Wasn't proud of it, but I was a child fukk it
Kept a pow tucked in a brown belt
Couldn't sit down, big gun kept stickin my pelvis
shyt it was either that or be livin wit Elvis
nikkas is jealous, hell is hot, you heard X
Wanted to tell God that I don't deserve this
Was afraid that he'd tell me I deserve less
My life was nervous, you haven't heard stress
Til you heard the cries of my mama, me givin her drama
Told her I aint promised tomorrow, gotta live for the day
And before she could say Jay...
I was out the door, pouch full of raw, a outlaw mentality
Men gotta do men things for men salary
Bad Boy, not Puff or Mike Lowery, damn B.I.G. woulda been proud of me
Ahh shyt man...
Young Hova ya heard?

Album had a lot of heat imo, Guilty Til Proven Innocent is Jay at his best:

Jigga hit me over the head with a champagne bottle at the bar, can he buy me a car?
Nah, how do you equate your pain?, would it all go away if I bought you a Range?
I got 1 or 2 of those, nothing gonna change.

Revisiting it now. 1st 5 joints is all still great. The intro still go hard, Change The Game, I Just Wanna Love U, This Can't Be Life all still stand the test of time.
"Get Your Mind Right Mami" was aight but typical song that could've been the average single for the radio.
