Hot 97 Freestyle is the best he’s ever been at rapping

Real for ppl talking & already home. Already home would be a hit today

His schemes on Already Home are among his best and a great song at that. Masterful. Perfect Cudi feature. Hovs impact and adapting the sounds of that time doesn’t get enough credit, love BP3

Already Home is his best writing on BP3 along with A Star is Born. Jay's most underrated quality is adapting his sound and staying current without it sounding forced or like he was chasing trends most of the time

so few artists can have a song where they rap their ass off at the elite level he is on dirt off your shoulder while still keeping the song cool and listenable to people that wouldn't necessarily appreciate the flows and everything

It gets written off as a copy Kanye album but BP3 is fire.

it was mostly produced by kanye and everybody that he was working with at the time he basically did 808s, BP3, MBDTF, WTT, and whatever GOOD Music albums came out between them without stopping the sessions were shared so production could be similar but the only song that sounded like a kanye song was Hate

I agree. This rhyme scheme >>

But, like, 52 cards went out, I'm through dealing
Now 52 bars come out, now you feel 'em
Now 52 cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case 52 broads come out, now you chilling

Gotta be top 5 greatest rap intros idc

I was hoping someone posted this before I would

No Never Change on the first page… disappointing

Don’t forget about thank you every verse on that was impeccable

The Hov hate be real, how he catch flack for having a producer he help put on and make a superstar mold the sound of his album? Smh

Tryna think of Jay songs that haven’t been posted but if I slip up lemme know

Had to start off with this one right here, He was talkin his s***.

Jays always gave you a sentimental joint too, got me wanting to walk my moms though a house I bought for her too

R.I.P B.I.G the commission would’ve been game changing

Love streets is watching but I honestly bump Streets is talkin way more, that vers mentioning his pops is legendary. Every Jay and Beans collab is fire matter of fact

Let’s go Black Album

I understand why he closed with “My 1st song” but Allure was really the best closing

He had sumn to two step too

“That was the first time I saw Kanye tell Jay-Z how to rap. Ye was telling him how to approach the song. It was so weird because who would’ve thought Kanye would be giving Jay-Z rapping tips? Laughs That was another one we did in Hawaii. That’s one of my sleeper favorites from my catalog.”

Threat >>> everything else

They try to act rewrite history nobody bumped Hov.. like This s*** don’t get the hoes to shake ass to this day

This album gets hate.. and I remember the response being a lil lukewarm despite it being his return album but when I went back to it years ago I’m like… nah he did it again JIGGA WTFFF

Okay maybe not his best all around project but still alot of dope joints

Who had the better verse to you between beans & hov on do it again (put ya hands up)

Damn I never knew about this thanks for sharing. S/o No id too didn’t know his catalogue was that deep

The Pimp C stories on this one are so insane. Dude was so f***ing stubborn lmao

if you dont have this in at least your top 10 Hov Songs you dont know what you're talking about
