I wonder if people remember how important this video was at the time. He was retiring! That was it, he was never gonna make music again! This was his swan song.
"Now, can I get a encore? Do you want more? Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy" One of my favorite beat produced by Kanye West and great additional vocale by John Legend.
I came- I saw- I conquered!!! I’m forever greatful to who put this video on with jays fans speaking at the end because I’ve tried finding this for nostalgia purposes many times and never found the bit with the fans at the end!!! Loved MTV base days! Merry Christmas to you all xxx
I know a lot of people prefer the Linkin Park version which is a classic but we can't ignore the original version as well. I listen to the Linkin Park version more as well but the original is still dope. I love all versions. Encore is classic to this day.
Bruh. I was looking for this song for so long. For some reason I couldn’t remember the lyrics but I remembered that saxophone and that beat🤦🏾♂️ Thank God I finally found it. Was killing me🙏🏾
This video brings tears to my eyes!! It's everything that Hip Hop is! It's the culmination of a hip hop career! I actually feel like I was there from this video! Love this man as B say, deep for what he represents! He is Hip Hop. What an amazing journey. Much respect.💪🏽🫶🙌🏽❤️✊🏽
I remember listening to this song after watching Spider-man No Way Home with my sister who i hadn't seen in year. I'll always attach this song with that day one of the best days of my life,I'm tearing up
I was looking for this video!!! 😭🫶🏾 It’s the “thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind” 🤣for meeeee!!!! Jay z so smooth! Man!! Still loving you Hov in 2024 and 4ever!!! Hova! Hova! I’m banging this song allllll day! 🔥🔥🔥 this my era! 80’s babies stand up!!!
I remember when I was in my early teens I'd go to friend's parties with my hat on a black shirt and some baggies just replicate Jay's outfit on this video ... Happy birthday to the GOAT 👑🐐 it's the roc 4life 💎
His style not one can imitate. Many duplicators only one originator💜 Shout out to his lovely mother who raised her son up to be such a Respected MAN💙 Ms. Gloria 🩷
My favourite JAY Z SONG. who you know is Fresher than Hove bring on me that. The rest of y'all know were I am lyrically at. Can't none y'all lyrical me back. JAY Z in this song talks about his greatness. He is the greatest of rap.
takes me back to sitting playing with my toys and doing my homework in my dads barbershop after school. Hip hop is really a lifestyle hate that gang culture took over hip hop and we dont get soulful clever lyrics like this
Biggest fan here. Glad you are on RU-vid! Wherever I find your music I support. Love you bro! 😎 No homo. 😂 I bump JayZ EVERYDAY faithfully. He got music to learn from. He don’t just talk about what he has and rub it in your face like these new age rap niggas.
Woke up every day to this song among others when revising for my exams back in 2006, just gets you in that mindset to take on the world, I love how he drifts off with the came I saw I conquered...
