JAY-Z - Marcy Me 

Word. Beat is ahead of it’s time big up NO I.D

This sample is from Quarteto 1111 and the song is Todo Mundo e Ninguém. 1970's cult classic from Portugal, reciting a poem from our dearly Gil Vicente. Go ahead

I said it in a previous 444 song and I'll say it again, NO I.D. IS A PROBLEM

This has a Pete Rock feel to it.Great track.

Bet he got that bag he deserves💰

I couldn’t agree more. Perfect song!

"hold an uzzi vertical let that thing smoke ya'll flirting with death I be winking through the scope" man's lines in this are smooth af

I lived on Flushing Avenue for years. Have you read a novel called Escape From Marcy? You probably haven't...it's not well known. If you haven't, check it out. I heard the author is trying to get in touch with jay to possibly do a movie. Good read!!!

Blessings to you and your son. From me and my two boys. ✌️

Metric Man I felt that bro.....

444th like 🤟🏼

Wow bro My son was made on 590 Marcy Brother 🤣🤣 I felt this comment

"Beautiful" is the word.

Hf

Definitely one of his highlights

💯

Lauriston Brewster their cinematography and use of color is phenomenal. I really envy it

Damn Bro, that's crazy!

Me too

UncommonSituations Marcy Me and Uncut Gems is the work of Darius Khondji. Brilliant cinematographer also responsible for PTA’s ANIMA.

@@cheeez9438 One of the greats. His "Conversations with" book from France is a must own.

that's becaue riches don't make you rich

"couldn't change me if you wanted to"

Real nigga from the projects. Never forget where you come from

That's why he's the 🐐

@Kingsley Yeboah My guy, Jay-z is the best rapper dead or alive.

Not really though. It's a music video, it's fine to think something gone happen.

But to all of us expect one specific shit was gonna happen thats what he mean I think.

facts UNFORTUNATELY

@@deathfrombelow1193 stay blind

I thought they were following him to find the others tbh

Can you elaborate on what that actually means please

@@nohatenohypenohatenohype9779 It means to take on a quality or characteristic that you may not possess but would like to. Like if you are not naturally brave or fearless, but want to be, the term Jay used prompts you to do what it takes become brave or fearless. To Assume those virtues. Not in a sense of pretending but actually attaining them.

Family Feud is good too

I’m right there with you. This easily one of my favorite jay z tracks

weird you say that when no one is the video was doing anything wrong....so what is it that we need to do better?

bigstU25 correct

bigstU25 I am from the hood south side chicago wild 100's lived here 27 years since birth. and i know exactly what the video is about. and its not a matter of us having to do better. its a matter of police not stereotyping black people in general. whites commit the same crimes at the same rate if not higher. yet you will not see helicopters following innocent white around looking for someone armed with a knife. we shouldnt have to be careful or in a higher since of alertness simply because when they see black skin they feel threatened. should be able to go from point a to point be without being harassed, with your logic your blaming all black people for a few criminal elements. thats like saying all white people need to be on high alert and know more about the law and walk on egg shells because a few white kids shoot up schools and churches. yet you dont see them telling there people that...stop blaming black people for the perception of racist whites.

I really was thinking that the whole time. Very profund, old sport.

Allen Ragin for real thats the beauty of it

Definetely the best song from the album

Naw this album is 100 percent message. Moonlight is COLDDDDDD. SERIOUSLY

@@priscilla7864 Jay second best album. Here are my favourite albums from him: RD, 4:44, the blueprint or the black album

Kayode Gloster Flow sounds like Pharcyde Passing me by!

Every true hip hop fan should fall in love with Marcy Me. This song is better than any other track off this CLASSIC

just noticed that

Mir Redd I was just gonna comment this

Right?! What is happening tonight?!

same

Mir Redd 💯💯💯

MGK too

Aston Martin Truth!

Aston Martin 😢😢😢✊✊✊

James Reid he did something truly special. No four bars are the same through the whole album. Every beat switches every 4 bars. I go cry now 😢

Probs the best beat ever

James Reid Agreed man.

That's the beauty of Jay z. He's been in his prime since he came out in 96. It's hard to tell when he was at his peak and when he was at a low. He says his worst album is volume 1 In my life time, but it's on that same album that you have tracks like "where I'm from", "a million and one questions", "streets is watching". His other bad album according to critics is "kingdom come", but that album has great tracks like "lost ones", "show me what you got", "minority report" and others. The man has atleast five classic albums, atleast because personally I think it's more than that.

I thought I was alone. Love you for this comment bro! 👌🏾💯❤️

@@thatdudesolo 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

His best song ever

Who cares where other people rank it, it’s where you rank it.

glad to see you here

Hip-Hop Universe This is my favorite song also!

Hip-Hop Universe this shxt is waxk..

Willy Wonders you're everywhere hater.

Good old Jay!!! Great sample tho

man, it gave me the same feelings from partly growing up in Morocco. Run for cigs, drink, whatevs. You also see that culture in the U.K. with olders and youngers.

yertoik checkout @yawdtalkpodcast

k_extra45 kerf Me too.

dopest freestyle to this beat ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n-x3WBmTlbQ.html

I'm Jamaican as well and it gave me the same feeling. My dad had a Chinese friend who would sometimes send me to buy things for him at the corner shop. He'd give me a $1000 to buy whatever and I'd always get to keep the change (the change was usually $500-$600 lol)

I tell dues old boy was really in his bag on this joint

Daniel Guzman Agreed!

Daniel Guzman Eminem just talked about how he admires jays ability to tap into what’s currently goin on but flip his own way and stay relevant jays a beast

Daniel Guzman mann do y'all realize what we are witnessing this man been in the game over 20 years and stay relevant that is almost impossible look at all the other 90s rappers HOV got more number one albums than any artist any general of music yeah more than Elvis Michael Jackson anyone you can think of and that is unheard of for a rapper to surpass the king of pop and rock he has done with no rapper has done. Jay-Z is the best rapper ever

Jiemel Gould Period!

Jiemel Gould agreed

Hello Kashif

Saying this songs wordplay is ‘out of this world’ is just an insult to some of his previous songs

@@NukaRage I dont know man. I am familiar with Jay's classics but these lines blew my mind: "I started in lobbies, now parley with Saudis I'm a Sufi to goofies, I could prolly speak Farsi That's poetry, reek of coca leaf in my past Came through the bushes smellin' like roses I need a trophy just for that"

@@NukaRage nah I feel that’s fair. There’s so much wordplay for such a short song that it’s crazy and I been rocking with Jay since Hawaiian Sophie days.

FOR REAL💯

Speak for yourself I'm still young

@@michaelweatherspoon8197 ra

Don't talk about god on a Jayz clip plz

i was honestly thinking this and my heart pours for the season everytime. as i am trying to comprehend what it meas to me i realise so much can be said about it yet i cant get the words out.

The way the music and vocals ease up on that scene too. I love it

That's the safdies for you

Lil’ man.

Pitch Correction is used by everyone just so you know

@@enriktigasna I didn't say anything about pitch correction

@@Adam-kx2tp Auto tune is mostly an effect. Pitch correction still means that vocal skills aren't really required so I don't really understand with what you mean the "Auto tune train"

Only word I can use to describe this video is NOSTALGIA

It choked me up a bit

That’s Elera Pictures for you! Check out their movies Good Time and Uncut Gems, they capture the essence of nyc just like this video!

Man, music IS just art.

So lil uzi is art

lil uzi is veeeery artistic, you can see he really has the will to create a concept with his music. Then, you can value if it's good art or bad art.

Right

music is art

He had dips, just like everyone else. Come on let's not forget Kingdom Come. Nas is on the same level, also had dips but does very often still drop goat verses. Don't sleep on others like Scarface as well, he's never had a wack verse.

@@shotbyfabi if you Make 19 plus albums you going find more than one that's not a favorite your point makes no sense you cant name someone with ten plus albums no misses drake was bout to be on it until 2019 shit went downhill thats cause this is business 1st passion second until u get to a point where it's back to all passion like the first album that was his point when you got 30 years in it's not about business u making music only cause u want to smh

You're arguing something I never said. You must have responded to the wrong person.

Jarvis Brookfield I feel that same way

You shouldn’t just assume somethings deep from the way it looks, otherwise everyone would believe Xxx’s lyrics and music is actually deeper than it is. But yes you’re right that it’s mainly the flowy piano instrumental with the typically Jayz excellent film making, as the lyrics of the song are a nostalgic rose tinted look back for Jay on his younger life in Marcy projects and growing up around street dealers, and then later becoming one. But the video itself with the overwatching eye of the police floodlight, kind of shows an alternative meaning to the song on top of how history can’t be repaired only the future can, and how Jayz was never born one, but bc of where he was born he’s almost destined to become an American Gangster, as Denzel is also reffed in the lyrics. Also the floodlight is taken to be seen as the lens that the police and mainstream media might see dealers or black people generally as subjective and very concentrated on one aspect, being close minded. Yes the quality

Entire album was brilliant, as I’ve personally never seen such a personification of white and black, and culture all wrapped up into one rooftop and one police helicopter in any music video, well done to Jay z.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

they are all amazing :) fuck all mumble rapper and lame r&B singer

yea MV straight up gave me chills once the dream came in and that ending shot

It is Christmas time :)

Who did they simple this from

quarteto 1111, a portuguese 60s psychadelic rock band. they were shut down several times by the dictatorship of the time because of the controversial topics on their songs.. probably the reason they didnt make it very big

Todo o mundo e ninguém.

Eu não consigo cantar essa música sem ficar falando Cavaleiro e Todo Mundo o temp todo ahaha

Prince Joffrey Leone dopest line on the album!!

@@michaelguadalupe1706 The best song on the album.

The lifestyles portrayed all lead to early death... Indeed it was a scope into it. People I grew up with who aren't even 50 yet - look like ghosts. Sad.

Prince Joffrey Leone oooo.....I SS that with the 😉 emo.....

+j campos wtf, that’s not even remotely making any sense.

Looks like Jay unsold his soul😂

It was the best song of 2017!!!

@@George-te4ms he had refund

Nah to many washed souls a lost generation only understand violence and drugs they ignore knowledge, that’s why this video doesn’t have so many views not to many can understand the art of jay z

Jay z’s songs are too deep for most people to understand. But since people can understand, they realize how amazing his songs are

ハイドロ 7 and when the outro kicks in at 2:20 goddamnnnnnnn

If you like this track you should search for Born Again by Co$$, it's one of my favorite underground gems.

Cierra Pfanstiel they've been out on Tidal

Luh Man lmmfao damn bruh!

Bruh there are good and bad in all races. Relax.

Luh Man Nigga get your racist ass out of here you are the best example of why we can't have any fuckin dialogue.
