Decoded: A Musical Journey with Jay-Z Part 4





Jay mentions this song while discussing bootlegging, shootings, and dealing with the street once you've made a name. Off his second album.



Song as a great chorus.

2nd best Jay-Z song., eh maybe not, like the beat but the verses kind of suck.


Jay discusses how a bad decision can undo success.

Song references this song

Jesus, I hate this song.
Decoding " Fallin" Jay mentions this song and calls it a hip-hip classic. Pretty good.


Jay mentions these next two songs as early rap songs his parents liked.

These song is awesome, that's what rap music needs man FUNK.

Seems like rap was a lot more fun in the old days.


Jay's self proclaimed biggest hit to date.

Alicia Keys totally makes this song for me. The lyrics....ok, mentions a lot of shit in NY, flow sucks.


Another one of Jay's big hits.

Song built on a chorus stolen from Annie, but Jay's verses here are pretty good.


Eh, rappers bragging about their riches, buisnesses, and success bores me.
Jay references this Stevie Wonder song.

Stevie is the fucking man.


Good song.
