Bruh, jay z showed his ass on all I need.

that’s one of my fav tracks to rap. A nikka be feeling like I could go in the booth and lay a classic right then and there.

my favorite song over all is probably girls girls girls. Cuz of the sample and just cuz of the phase of life I’m in.

U Don't Know was the street single I heard on the Empire Strikes Back mixtape

Izzo was the lead single

Jay dissed Prodigy & Nas at Summer Jam earlier that summer

Anticipation for BP was super high, higher than the previous 2 albums

Production carried the album & bc Jay made a cpl personal records, critics loved it

it was hailed as a classic immediately even tho he wasn't at his sharpest lyrically

he picked great singles: Izzo - Girls, Girls, Girls - Song Cry

That album was monumental in hindsight

Universally recognized as a top 3 album in his discography
