What Jay Z tracks have the darkest/Grimiest production Like "Where I'm from"?

[mortuus est]

where im from was so grimy man , i remember the first time i heard that like WTF this is on the same album as sunshine

 

[Slim Charles]

Shame there isn’t more. Jay Z over that sort of production was certain classic and crucially the beats are timeless. Now only songs I fukk with from his Volume albums are ones that have that sound and skip all the timbaland/ Swizz stuff that sounds dated (and tbh I never messed with much anyways)

 

[Formerly known as...]

Dynasty intro

[Harry B]

[28 Gramz]

Lyrical Excerise

Some grimy Jay joints are:

D'Evils
Murdergam
Threat
It's Murda
Squeeze First (sort of)

 

[Crumple]

Thank you. Really dope eye opening replies.

When Jay is classic, Jay is classic.

Reasonable doubt as a whole album is insane.

Learned way later.

Conscious rappers at that - fell off but Jay won in the long term. He's the model to follow.

And he's literally created classics.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Ha remix

 

[Sinister]

Not a Jay song per se but murdergram and it's murda

 

[OHSNAP!]

No mention of A Week Ago?

Only really great cut on that overrated album, sounded like Where I'm From pt 2

 

[Scottie Drippin]

This Life Forever (I think it's listed as Black Gangsta). One of his most slept on tracks.
