Jay-Z's best..

Postby MattyBobbins » Jan 20th, '11, 20:20

Just lookin for some peoples opinions on what they think jays best song is, try to stay away from the popular ones just album tracks or random tracks even features I'm hopin to find some I'm yet to hear.
For a not so popular one i really like Moment Of Clarity :happy:
Nobody asked for life to deal us,
With these bullshit hands we're dealt,
We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip em don't expect no help...

Just listen to Reasonable Doubt from beginning to end. Can I Live, D'Evils, Feelin' It and Dead Presidents 2 are probably my favourites from that album.

A shame he doesn't bring those kind of skills to the game anymore :/

Moment of Clarity is great, so is Renegade. Black Album is solid, listen to that all the way through.

A non popular song? Where I'm From is one of his best tracks, Beach Chair is great, and for some reason nobody ever mentions You Must Love Me as one of Jay's best
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
[/i

Minority Report is a quite underrated track too. Very cinematic production and a strong message lyrically.

Moment of Clarity, 99 Problems, Dirt Off Your Shoulder, Renegade

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

D'evils > *

One of the best Hip-Hop songs of all time. Reasonable Doubt is classic, after classic after classic. There is literally no weak songs.

Allure is pretty good

And his freestyle with Big L, he has some sick lines in it.

This is pretty good to.
