tribute to the career of one shawn corey carter a.k.a. jay-z (h to the izzo)
Beyond a REASONABLE DOUBT, IN MY LIFETIME, even when STREETS IS WATCHING, I never witnessed a HARD KNOCK LIFE - THE LIFE AND TIMES OF S. CARTER that is - that blossomed into a DYNASTY like that of the ROC LA FAMILIA!
Jay-Z gave us THE BLUEPRINT then UNPLUGGED it to explore THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. It fell through, so he re-upped and gave us THE BLUEPRINT2 and then documented his life, THE GIFT & THE CURSE alike, in a BLACK ALBUM!
He came back to handle some UNFINISHED BUSINESS but ended up on a COLLISION COURSE that left us all "Numb!"
'So can I get an "Encore," do you want more? Cooking raw with that Brooklyn boy. So for one last time I need ya'll to roar!'
IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT THAT YOUR WHOLE PERSPECTIVE IS WACK, MAYBE YOU'LL LOVE ME WHEN I FADE TO BLACK!
