This shit is wack, the vocals and the rap is ok, but wtf is up with the beat. Its sounds like some Lady Gaga music – they need to get Lex Luger to remix this beat and make that shit bang hard as fuck.
I thought sade had said she wasn’t interested in working with Jay-z even though she didn’t in this case because it’s a remix. and i agree with @nuc … sade is on another level. different playing field
“I thought sade had said she wasn’t interested in working with Jay-z even though she didn’t in this case because it’s a remix.” so you may be the dumdum,, as its been clarified above that sade wasnt part of this collab
horrible song…..i got respect for J and sade but it just didnt work…..people like to dick ride just because of the stars in certain songs and like it automaticly…..not me i judge it all the same…. would i bump it in my ride and for this NO NO NO
u entitled to your opinion but it wasn’t dat bad of a rmx. to b honest it wuz jus a new beat and a verse from hov. it wasn’t the best but it wuz decent. like i said u entitled to how u feel
Jay is big in hiphop…Sade is big in MUSIC…I like Jay steppin up and tryin to spit on a CLASSIC but it’s like putting him and me and a hip hop track…STUPID.
This is stupid. Why would you box an artist in? This is a wonderful sign for hiphop that an artist can step out of the norm and make a wonderful song with another wonderful artist.
The biggest-selling genre of music, according to the most recent statistics from the Recording Industry Association of America, is Rock (31.8%) followed by Rap/Hip Hop (10.7%). Pop music sales are separate from Rock (9.1%). R&B/Urban is separate from Rap/Hip Hop (10.2%). Note that Rock sales are greater than sales of Rap/Hip Hop, Pop, and R&B/Urban combined.
All you idiots asking WHY? Is the verse Jay spit dope? Does it sound forced or does it sound like it fits? Ok now shut the F*** up and enjoy a great song.
Funny how when Jay-Z mentions God in his verses, all these conspiracy theorist are no where to be found. Keep focusin’ on the negative shit you scum of the slums.
These conspiracy theorists are idiots anyway. No evidence, no proof, no videos, no written testimony yet they are so entrenched in their fantasy world. Sorry but we need more than speculation to work in the world today.
lol your an idiot. proof? look around you. look how expensive everything is (food,gas,water, medicine, doctors), we get shit on by rich people and corporations. get out of the rat race. conspiracy my ass, i dont give a fuck about no “illuminati” but thats more or less a distraction from the big picture. only fools speak of the illuminati, even if it is real. it just shows a lack of intelligence.
this man is really a genius i can’t believe that used his mind and find out how to get in her lane… he got a lot of his mind to say the least hahah… super intelligent
With all due respect, and know that I like Jay Elec., but ain’t nobody on a large enough scale ever going to be checking for Jay Elec. Dude is what 34-35 with one hot song that a limited amount of people knows about under his belt commercially. Also, his style of rap a person has to build an audience for it for years. If Nas were just starting out commercially into today’s climate of rap he would never be as successful as he is now regardless of how good he is. Jay Elec is best suited for featuring and feeding those of us who like lyrics. We are a very small portion of hip-hop heads.
i dont know man, all you need is one hot song and i believe jay elec can pull it off the dude speaks true.. i have hope, you never know. right now he’s set up pretty good with roc nation and getting advertisements and shit so he can work on his music. he just has to start makin moves
Jay-Z’s verse on this song is garbage. He sounds like a chipmunk on helium. His delivery is ass. His flow is completely off beat on every song. Dude can’t stay on beat to save his life
jason i wish you were next to me, so i could slap you and tell you that you are completely wrong. jays flow is always on beat, and his delivery is always perfect
This is the type of song that should either just have singing or just rapping. this didn’t really work. Unless the rap had a special type of delivery it wouldn’t work though people are still going to dick ride cause its jay 3/5
I somewhat agree, but I lean closer to the fact that Jay didn’t really add anything special the song. The song was dope without him and his verse wasn’t even all that, AND it’s like he didn’t even put a lot of effort into it. It’s kinda like either leave it alone (the song) or bring some real fire to it. He didn’t bring fire!
hawian sofey face… Big lips whatever you call him… Fuck jay z he wack and I smoke daily! Haha Pac 4 life! Til the casket drop! This muthafucka came up during the age of hip hop after that real/raw shit was lived out. I wouldn’t even down load this guys music 4 free! Money don’t make the man, man make the money. Quit ridin gay z’s dick and open your eyes study his past… Wut a fuckin joke!
“Money don’t make the man, man make the money” this quote precisely describes jay-z you fuck. THE MAN FUCKING MAKES MAD DOUGH. Lyrically a genius, and a fucking business guru. I love my Pac and Biggie, but you have to give the Jigga-man his due, open your eyes and study THE FUCKING FACTS
West Coast hip-hop hasn’t been doing shit in a long ass time so I see this guy has to come comment on all the East Coast hip-hop songs to feel relevant.
Y can’t people give credit where credit is due? Every time Jay-Z or Nas or Eminem or even Weezy comes out with something somebody gotta something stupid like “He only hot because ‘Pac and Biggie died.” or “He’s a sell out.” or “This guy is better than him.” or “This dude falling off…”. The list goes on and on… It just goes to tell u familiarity breeds hate. If u don’t wanna hear the music don’t listen to it. Simple as that. ‘Illuminati’ seems to be the new word bammas learned so they wanna put everybody. Read a book, clowns.
im always curious when people hate back on haters does it make u feel better ? do u feel relieved hahahaha there has to b haters bruh, everything needs balance
the original is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better.
Sade is great….and bottom line HOV is a beast..aint no fucking with him, yall lil niggaz can stick to yall bubble gum non making sense rap, and ill fuck with this…
The only reason it will be a classic is because of who’s on the song and not because the actual music deserves those kind of props. As I said, Jay-Z didn’t add a whole lot to the song IMO.
I like it, but as someone said Nas would’ve been a better fit. Personally I’m burned-out with Jay-Z, but of course he would’ve been her 1st choice considering who he is in rap. He didn’t really put much effort in his this IMO. Nas and Sade seem to share similar vibes so I think their styles would’ve worked much better together. Worth 4 stars mainly because of production and Sade.
Doesn’T nobody hear that Jay is talking about his secret son:
“Pregnant pause
Damn your baby tall, what you been up to
I don’t blame you my doll
Yeah, we kinda stalled
As God as my witness, timin’ was my mistress
I guess it’s in the stars for me to love you from a distance”
and then he says “So baby no moon and sky, got a beautiful sun/son”
jay-z u are the best.shout out to whole brooklyn ny and the whole nyc from the whole rochester new york.we love yall.its upstate ny and nyc together.hova we got u by any means.we love u dogg.
Jay was the PERFECT FIT 4 this track!! 5 stars all the way. Sade always had n has smooth layed back music and hov came and delievered as usual!! i really dont know wat sum of u people are sayin bout NAS being on this track. i really think ya need to listen 2 this song all the way thru a FEW tymes to see how much hov brought to the table on this. He stayed on topic and painted the picture for you. To be honest i could see Drake fittin on this track better den Nas not ONLY on the stregnth his bestfriend and producre Noah’40’shebib did the beat but this def has a drake type of vibe to it.
You gotta be born before 85 to understand this vibe. I love Sade, one of my favorite artists of all time so her and Jigga on a track has to work. #Idbuyanalbumofthis
Sade shouldn’t be remixed with RAP, EVER. She does Neo-Soul so for the love of REAL music, stop trynna hip-hopafy every damn genre of music. She’s a Classic, let her be.
Sade was soul before neo-soul was thought of bruh and she crossed the lines into hip hop with the soldier beat and u cant deny it still has her stamp and J did his ish of course- which i think B my wanna rewind several times.
wow first comment on a beautiful song
I’m feelin dis track
Should of been happened!
Dope
Hot
Wonderfully done. Period.
you can tell jay is on his game right now. I like this
wake me up when this song is over
Naw just stay sleep shit head.
This shit is wack, the vocals and the rap is ok, but wtf is up with the beat. Its sounds like some Lady Gaga music – they need to get Lex Luger to remix this beat and make that shit bang hard as fuck.
You have GOT to be joking… lex luger shit is redundant TRASH… This isnt a beat, its musical production youngin. Wake up
Lex Luger? LMAO
the original is better.
this isnt terrible, but sade makes classic matierial, hard to make a classic, more classic.
3/5
Jay what more can i say!!!
I thought sade had said she wasn’t interested in working with Jay-z even though she didn’t in this case because it’s a remix. and i agree with @nuc … sade is on another level. different playing field
this is a sample dum dum. Sade had nothing to do with this. they just used her song and remixed it.
“I thought sade had said she wasn’t interested in working with Jay-z even though she didn’t in this case because it’s a remix.” so you may be the dumdum,, as its been clarified above that sade wasnt part of this collab
horrible song…..i got respect for J and sade but it just didnt work…..people like to dick ride just because of the stars in certain songs and like it automaticly…..not me i judge it all the same…. would i bump it in my ride and for this NO NO NO
u entitled to your opinion but it wasn’t dat bad of a rmx. to b honest it wuz jus a new beat and a verse from hov. it wasn’t the best but it wuz decent. like i said u entitled to how u feel
This is dope, can’t stand hating ass niggas like yall
comments like that are hilarious…. why even aknowledge the ‘haters’
CLASSIC!! HOV MAKIN MAJOR MOVES FOR HIPHOP……..
Dope Verse
Real verse by Jay…awesome
dope!! 5 stars dammit!
Jay is big in hiphop…Sade is big in MUSIC…I like Jay steppin up and tryin to spit on a CLASSIC but it’s like putting him and me and a hip hop track…STUPID.
This is stupid. Why would you box an artist in? This is a wonderful sign for hiphop that an artist can step out of the norm and make a wonderful song with another wonderful artist.
I am sorry, where are Sade’s 11 number 1 albums? Jay-Z second all time in MUSIC.
Why do people act like Jay doesnt have 11 number 1 albums? Like he doesnt deserve to hop on a track with ANYONE on ANY GENRE?
come on man, open your eyes. Hip Hop is the most popular music out now. It went from a small thing to the most popular music
The biggest-selling genre of music, according to the most recent statistics from the Recording Industry Association of America, is Rock (31.8%) followed by Rap/Hip Hop (10.7%). Pop music sales are separate from Rock (9.1%). R&B/Urban is separate from Rap/Hip Hop (10.2%). Note that Rock sales are greater than sales of Rap/Hip Hop, Pop, and R&B/Urban combined.
My eyes are wide open.
fuck is ur point???
At one point for along time it was the biggest selling genre..care to elaborate
Lyricly,, hov’s verse is pure greatness!
All you idiots asking WHY? Is the verse Jay spit dope? Does it sound forced or does it sound like it fits? Ok now shut the F*** up and enjoy a great song.
when he raps its like hes telling a story thers no fucking with jay
1*
4 stars
skippable
skippable…
i like it laid backk
classy…
Funny how when Jay-Z mentions God in his verses, all these conspiracy theorist are no where to be found. Keep focusin’ on the negative shit you scum of the slums.
so fucking true, it’s like when he talks about almost losing his faith in god on lost one nobody talks about that shit.
These conspiracy theorists are idiots anyway. No evidence, no proof, no videos, no written testimony yet they are so entrenched in their fantasy world. Sorry but we need more than speculation to work in the world today.
Yeah, totally agree. Illuminati is a load of bored deluded people.
lol your an idiot. proof? look around you. look how expensive everything is (food,gas,water, medicine, doctors), we get shit on by rich people and corporations. get out of the rat race. conspiracy my ass, i dont give a fuck about no “illuminati” but thats more or less a distraction from the big picture. only fools speak of the illuminati, even if it is real. it just shows a lack of intelligence.
Absolutely amazing!
this shit is super smooth
Hot track. Jay-Z forever classic
damn jay i ain’t know you had it in you!
this man is really a genius i can’t believe that used his mind and find out how to get in her lane… he got a lot of his mind to say the least hahah… super intelligent
Nice

I say it was a anniversary track for Be
This is why Jay-Z >>>>>> Nas
shut up faggot its not a damn contest
listen, when jay-z and jay electronica come out with their albums hip hop will not be the same.
400 years from now?
hahah yeah better late than never my nigga

Dope…
crazy!
hauntingly beautiful. Very different from everything else on here and I suprisingly like it.
I loved this song already good choice to jump on a Sade track.
+5
Jay-Z fucking nailed this verse. 5 stars. They need to do a studio collab.
Jay-Z’s verse on this song is garbage. He sounds like a chipmunk on helium. His delivery is ass. His flow is completely off beat on every song. Dude can’t stay on beat to save his life
jason i wish you were next to me, so i could slap you and tell you that you are completely wrong. jays flow is always on beat, and his delivery is always perfect
MJ hemp jay fadeaway PERFECT

hahaha i would take jay over pac any day
Y can’t people give credit where credit is due? Every time Jay-Z or Nas or Eminem or even Weezy comes out with something somebody gotta something stupid like “He only hot because ‘Pac and Biggie died.” or “He’s a sell out.” or “This guy is better than him.” or “This dude falling off…”.

Simple as that. ‘Illuminati’ seems to be the new word bammas learned so they wanna put everybody. Read a book, clowns.
By the way, 3.7 stars. lol
THANK YOU. The guy is a fucking legend. How can you hate?
wayne is garbage and theirs and he shows in his albums and mediocre songs. stfu
@Mylie. I’m not even a Wayne fan, but I respect what he does and leave it at that. U shut the fuck up.
little wayne is a creative vampire eating off other peoples originality, lamest in the game
im always curious when people hate back on haters does it make u feel better ? do u feel relieved hahahaha there has to b haters bruh, everything needs balance
Hot!!!

http://t.co/EDVgcXI

It’s really hard to hate on this song! It’s good all the way around!

Sade i loved u since
86′
!!
@ the end of day weez is not kno legend
Love Sade music since I was kid
Sade is great….and bottom line HOV is a beast..aint no fucking with him, yall lil niggaz can stick to yall bubble gum non making sense rap, and ill fuck with this…
werd..
yup..
Jay Z doing business in hip-hop the right way to move the culture. more then just songs with rappers and pop stars. He is with the Queen Sade
Unbiasely speaking, this is a tight verse from Jay. He stayed on point with the song. It wasn’t just him rapping.
this song is dope as fuck….. But from my understanding I though Sade denied working with her ….. But any ways this is an instant classic!
The only reason it will be a classic is because of who’s on the song and not because the actual music deserves those kind of props. As I said, Jay-Z didn’t add a whole lot to the song IMO.
check me out and hit me with some honest feedback
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-4EshJsc94
Track is full of soul!!! dope!
check me out at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0-654DvyHw
Dope track….wouldve sounded better wiyh Nas IMO
I agree. They seem to have similar vibes and respect for music. Not saying that Jay doesn’t, but he did nothing special for the song.
Yea, Nas would of done this track more justice. *shrug*
Nas would’ve been dope on this too, but Jay’s that nigga…
I like it, but as someone said Nas would’ve been a better fit. Personally I’m burned-out with Jay-Z, but of course he would’ve been her 1st choice considering who he is in rap. He didn’t really put much effort in his this IMO. Nas and Sade seem to share similar vibes so I think their styles would’ve worked much better together. Worth 4 stars mainly because of production and Sade.
Not really feelin’ Jay’s verse makes the track any better. Not bad though!
I can understand her not wanting to do a hip hop track, but jay’s verse is amazing
Doesn’T nobody hear that Jay is talking about his secret son:
“Pregnant pause
Damn your baby tall, what you been up to
I don’t blame you my doll
Yeah, we kinda stalled
As God as my witness, timin’ was my mistress
I guess it’s in the stars for me to love you from a distance”
and then he says “So baby no moon and sky, got a beautiful sun/son”
i aint even think of it like that, good shit
good shit homie
you are right, it is time to turn from the moon to the sun and look at the bright sky.
hahaa jay is the only reason why i would ever listen to this song. its chill as fuck but wouldnt listen to it without jay
Man, Sade is the truth, but I respect the honesty. Ain’t nobody smoother then Sade, ask the elders.
Dont know how I feel about this yet. I have to give a another listen.
Lol…just say you liked it. You did nigga, give it up to Sade and Hova on this one homie.
It was cool really liked the beat and Jay always does the song Justice. I know hip-hop
5/5
jay-z u are the best.shout out to whole brooklyn ny and the whole nyc from the whole rochester new york.we love yall.its upstate ny and nyc together.hova we got u by any means.we love u dogg.
Jay-Z is #1
Jay was the PERFECT FIT 4 this track!! 5 stars all the way. Sade always had n has smooth layed back music and hov came and delievered as usual!! i really dont know wat sum of u people are sayin bout NAS being on this track. i really think ya need to listen 2 this song all the way thru a FEW tymes to see how much hov brought to the table on this. He stayed on topic and painted the picture for you. To be honest i could see Drake fittin on this track better den Nas not ONLY on the stregnth his bestfriend and producre Noah’40’shebib did the beat but this def has a drake type of vibe to it.
another stupid comment Drake should saty well away from any Sade track.
Jay brought it in this verse. Sure, we say who’d be a better fit but he did it and did it well.
exactly my point…i was just touchin the subject dat people were talkin about nas wen it wasnt need with wat jay already did.
There was soo much amount of maturity in this this is beyund genre this complete music
Who’s Jayz
yo daddy
the concept is nice but the drums goes too hard, i was even worried with jay being on this but he came threw, fix the drums yo have a hit
the drums are fine dipshit
Jigga b killin these 40 beats
not drinking the juice. this sucks.
you suck
!!!!!FIRE!!!!!
You gotta be born before 85 to understand this vibe. I love Sade, one of my favorite artists of all time so her and Jigga on a track has to work. #Idbuyanalbumofthis
it don’t matter when you were born as long as you can hear the music
Youngsters need to get hip to Sade and hop on the wagon…this track is hot. Great concept as well.
This young whipper snappers dont know nothing about this lol
Sade shouldn’t be remixed with RAP, EVER. She does Neo-Soul so for the love of REAL music, stop trynna hip-hopafy every damn genre of music. She’s a Classic, let her be.
Sade was soul before neo-soul was thought of bruh and she crossed the lines into hip hop with the soldier beat and u cant deny it still has her stamp and J did his ish of course- which i think B my wanna rewind several times.
Maybe speed it up..
THIS IS HIPHOP CLASSIC
Awesome!
This song is beautiful. The perfect combination of hiphop and soul. Love Sade, as always. Hov handled his duty masterfully.
I’ve listened to this song everyday on
repeat, & everyday Im almost late for work
it’s just one more time!.. you know lol
Cold blooded!
powerful song
glad we have Sade injecting music industry with much needed real music.
classic
