When you look at Hov now, from where he started, he narrated the whole process for success in his music. He straight up said he was gonna be where he is today. Another reason as to why he's the GOAT. Besides him, i can't think of another rapper who sold drugs and never caught a case for it, made millions from it and washed his money through the rap game, all while rapping about it, AND using it to springboard himself into higher financial situations. That's partly and mostly why i believe he is an icon to certain street cats. Bro is like a hood unicorn really.
I like that Sceez is smart and well read enough that he understands Jay-Z well enough so that he knows he’s going to have to relisten to the track multiple times to get it. Step one to understanding Jay-Z is realizing he’s way way way smarter than you and puts a lot of thought into his rhymes so they are dense.
The most interesting aspect of this entire song is that the beat has a weird ass loop and Hov is finding multiple pockets in each verse. The beat isn’t structured like a hip hop beat, it’s more R&B than anything and he’s just hitting insane pockets in each verse.
