    1. This is sooo old go on youtube and type it in! people posted this in 2007 HIPHOPDX i am dissapointed

    2. I always loved this beat, but the lyrics are very average. “Yesterday I was needin’ this dough” That shit is very corny. And how many times is he going to reference other rappers songs? I know he samples Nas on the original and he’s friends with Nas now, but god damn…

      1. The track is nearly 8 years old you dumb peasant dweeb .. I always see your shitty user name and comments throughout the site . You never have anything of substance to say so why don’t you just fuck off SUBURBAN DWEEB

      2. If you think “kneeding/needing” is clever, chances are, you’re dumb as fuck. btw I know it’s an old track, what does that have to do with my comment? Are you using age as an excuse for simplistic, corny, lyrics? lol I’m not impressed.

      3. Shit’s even cornier because he felt the need to say “get it…I was kneading the dough” like it was supposed to blow nigga’s minds lmao.

      4. Nope i am saying that throughout history certain slang/street words have been used to define that particular moment in time .

        example benjamins in the 90s was widely used to describe MONEY

        No one really uses that term now ..

        Can your diminishing brain cells comprehend what i am getting at ..

      5. take a peep at the 2 bars before he said ‘kneading this dough’ and youll understand why thats a bar..its called delivery

      6. Coming from a bitter ass dude who calls this:

        “The Feds is perched like an owl”

        “Gangsta lean like the Pisa”

        The work of a great lyricist, don’t even need to mention the fucking awful flow the above lines were delivered in.

    3. 5/5 by default. hating ass niggas aint got shit better to do. appreciate this nigga while he is still living.

    4. Why does Jay rap from a point of view that we should feel sorry for him? Fuck out of here nigga you rich as fuck…

    5. I take it this track’s older than The Black Album, because he had some lines that were directly from “Moment of Clarity”, but this is still cool.

    6. this tracks better than, versus, bbc and i forgot the other filler he could of replaced this with

    7. Next! -Damn, I gotta a rap….

      Too much Ace of Spade to piss out?/ is this what it’s all about
      Nothing but money talk come outta ya mouth/we supposed to be impressed ’cause you got a lil clout?
      Ni**ga, get ahold of yourself/ ya fans are leaking
      You losing us by the thousands/with ya money talk speaking…

    8. This is real hip hop.. If yall don’t see how this is a good track you dunno wtf to look for in a good track. all yall have pre determined judgements of jayz cuz you call him a sellout, even though he’s 1 of the greatest lyricists to ever do it. smfh you youngins suck

      1. No doubt he USED to be a great lyricist, but now he dumbs down his lyrics for mainstream listeners. I don’t get how his “special” lyrics are so great when less popular artists do it all the time and get hardly any praise. I’m not saying this isn’t hip hop, but it shouldn’t be as highly regarded as it is.

      2. He told you that back in 04 MOMENT OF CLARITY that dumbed down for the audience .

        p.s He’s wordplay is still better than 95% of the commercial bullshit you lemmings listen to

      1. i thought i had heard this before. listening trying to hear a 2012-2013 reference. but i think this is old.

    9. put nas on this and put this on your album instead of that outrageously terrible billionair club song.. SO FUCKIN WACK

    10. Jay is nearly prophetic in his songs. This shit got recorded back in 2007 or so now in 2013 he really did change the music industry single-handedly. The RIAA changed their classification due to this nigga. He made a move that changed a protocol creating/regulatory institution. “So every move I make I confuse the industry”. Back in 96′ he also predicted he’d have the game on lock someday in an interview. You can’t hate a legend like this

    11. Mr Carter how is “Dead Presidents 3” and “Open Letter” not on “Magna Carta Holy Grail”? Cmon son #GTFOHWTB but congrats on the new LP I give it an 8 out of 10. Next time have DJ Premier, Just Blaze and Kanye West on that next one.

    12. Jay-Z stay winnin’. HOV keep ballin’ and Yeezy got the baddest bitch in the world. They outsell all your niggaz, I know you keep losin’, starvin’ and hatin’.

      1. And you keep dick riding people that don’t even know you exist, if thats not losing, I don’t know what is.

      2. And you keep hating people that achieved more than your broke ass, if that’s not losing, I don’t know what is.

      3. Why would i be mad? I like hov, thats why i’m on this topic. You sound like you want to blow both of them, if your intention is to sound like a faggot, by all means, do you. I’m broke? Funny, i haven’t heard from my accountant recently, why dont you throw out some more generic insults toward someone you know nothing about, i mean if you try enough times you might actually connect with one.

    13. ummmm…..dp3> every track on MCHG. I don’t get why this wasn’t on the album and I don’t get why he didn’t use this flow more instead of that amped up southern hybrid flow he uses now. GTFOH

      1. Why should he keep doing what he’s already perfected on his debut? Jay challenges himself creatively all the time and thus has lasted this long.

      2. i wouldnt say better than every track but better than alot yes. and could of easily replaced BBC- track was so wack you know yes men heard it

    14. I hate to say this better than anything on Magna Carta although I did enjoy the album quite a lot.

    15. What will it take for Hov to go for you to see that Hovs the modern day Pablo.. U’re Great Already.

    16. I mean even if you feel it’s corny, it’s still impressive to make a triple entendre. Needin, knee (deep), Kneading. If that’s jays corniest line that’s pretty good.

    17. Some songs should just be left alone, we didn’t need pt 2, and we sure as hell don’t need a crappy pt 3.

    18. Funny, sounds like Jay-z is complaining about being rich, and claiming he’s making music to keep the industry on its’ toes so they can’t use him. How funny is it that Hip-Hop artists come into the game for money, they claim it’s for the fans at some point in their careers and then once they get that money, it’s like Fuck the Industry. You can go independent now and make something strictly for the fans Hov, but what did you do? Why contradict yourself? You’re at a point where you don’t gotta say anything anymore, and you’ll be fine. It exposes you without me having to say anything.

    19. This is 5 years old, and in my “2008” file of singles.

      C’mon HOV… C’mon ‘DX… Call him on this stuff

      3/5 Stars

    20. Maybe wack ass hacker faggots like you got it but they reachin the masses. Fuckin cant stand these hater ass mother fuckers on these sites yo.

      If you aint got props
      shut the fuck up

    21. Take it for what it is, stop complaining, stop trying to say this is old, I’ve had it forever, all that bullshit. It’s a solid track.

    22. Dope track, bet jay electronica let him use the first lines on the verse, “me and my conglomerates shall remain anonymous”-jay electronica

      1. you dummy that’s been Jay’s line since 1991 to be exact…when it was just a basement freestyle

      2. Jay Electronica don’t write shit he got sued for using stolen rhyme books that’s why he ain’t ever dropping an album

    23. it’s great to hear jay not doing that homo pop shit. this songs great and so is most of his new cd. i had low expectations after that blueprint 3 teenage girl bullshit but the new album is very enjoyable and has some quality music on it.

    24. Jay’ Z bit an AZ line ” Washingtons go to wifey you know how we do ”
      off Lifes A Bitch.
      Ima a fan of Jay Z too from Reasonable Doubt to his current album. Just saying…

    25. i feel like rappers need to scoop like 10 ppl off the street in w.e cities to listen to their album before they drop it.. then we’d never have to listen to trash such as bbc and lafamilia–i get the msg but they’re trash. so so wack in an overall good album

    26. Good to hear the full length version . Old lyrics but still better than 99% of lyrics rappers are dropping these days

    27. Dead presidents 2 was a classic track on reasonable doubt you fucking troll. Nobody wants to follow your dumb ass so stop it.

    28. I like this. The ONLY critique I have is the synthy strings in it don’t blend with the track. If that could have worked better I would really fuck with this.

    29. Jays a fool for not putting this in the album.

      and since hes clearly still capable of making good tracks with that Jay Z feel we all grew to love why the fuck doesn’t he more often?

      1. saying “fail” on every ones comment is all you have to contribute to anything?? fuck outta here troll

      2. Which album should this have been on though? A few bars from this made it onto the Black Album so I’m guessing it was recorded around then.

    30. THIS IS THE JAY-Z WE ALL LOVE. HE SAYS “niggaz want my old shit, buy my old albums” NIGGA WE PLAYED ALL THAT OUT OVER THE YEARS WE WANT MORE OF THIS TYPE SHIT IT’S TOO PIFF

    31. beat has kinda a chill cool ambiance. He sounds stupid hollering DP in the beginning. cause you know DP bad 2 letters to holler lol

    32. its so depressing how many of these so called music lovers don’t know that this track was made almost a decade ago

      FAIL

    33. this should have been on the album its killin every song on the album this is cold and its a great sequel following the original joint dead pRES I

    34. fuck this old garbage and this old nigga his time is up its drakes time now drake runs rap only drake can make hits only drake will go platinum in a week. People only wanna go to drake concerts all these old niggas are irrelevent and done fact is drake runs rap.

    35. Even though this is just borrowing bars from DP1 and Moment of Clarity, and even though this was dropped some time ago, it’s dope regardless

    36. I ain’t waitin’ for my knee to blow
      Yesterday I was needin’ this dough
      Get it, I was kneadin’ this dough
      Long as your math is fast
      If your readin’ is slow

      1. I ain’t waitin’ for my knee to blow
        Yesterday I was knee-in this though
        Get it, I was need-in this dough
        Long as your math is fast
        If your readin’ is slow

      O, btw, I was the guy that asked for the full version via Twitter.

    40. Its ok but ill take dp2..not crazy about this beat while the orignal dp was insane. To many old recycled bars. Asmuch as i wish it wasnt true, theglory days of jigga are gone.

    41. this song is better than MCHG put together.

      not a Jay Hater, just blown away at how Hype still sells more than Quality Product.

    42. Hov so effortless with his flow. Although not at the level of the original, still a great song to vibe to. “Never fall behind cause I think too forward/ All about the grind like “Me so horny” LMAO

      but in reality im still miles away
      my tank n bank account empty i should just hide away
      but instead i that god n reach to the sky for a handshake i could give a damn about how much money that a man makes
      i guess thats easy to say when im broke
      searchin for a rolled up dollar bill used to sniff sum coke
      i could give a fuck if they say that this kids a joke
      prolly just crack a smile as i exhale my smoke

    47. Sick of jay z at some point in his rap saying ‘get it?’

      Yeah we get it Nigga.

    48. I aint stuck in the past but damn this aint touchin DP1 or DP2.. frankly im not a fan of this and im the biggest Jay-z fan. Im suprised it made this top 10 list. I guess like most Jay tracks, itl grow on me.
