Hello it's Hova; that's right youngin the wait is over
The new millennium is upon us...the album is here
Before we get into the s***, let's get a few things clear...

Tbh this might be his best opening bars

lmao no

Hustler's that's if you still living....

great song as expected from the GOAT

as far as openings go though I gotta give it to A Million and One Questions that whole verse a quotable

Kill Jay Z is underrated

S*** is mad heat. Vol. 3 super underrated.

The GOD

Who ever thought young Shawn Carter would change the game?
Used to rap to the raindrops off my window pane
Duckin' the plain cops, pushin' endo and 'caine

At the kitchen table, late night, no pen, just my brain

First album, niggas love me 'cause they thought I was poor

Guess I'm successful; industry don't love me no more

Well I'm the same nigga from your corner, bubblin' raw

Skully tilted, pants saggin', damn near touchin' the floor

It's weird I just noticed he sounds very similar to Earl on Interlude.

"Jigga the s***, even when he rhyme in third person
Hova the God, I should be rappin with turban"

Amazing

Look at my username

Well, I'm the ghetto's answer to Trump
I'm cancer to the Hamptons
20 million a wop, ransackin' mansions
Increase the noise pollution, as soon as I land in
Don't even trust uppity white folks
Keep the cannon tucked

iconic

Somebody's pulling me closer to the ground
I ain't panicked, I been here before
Seems like only yesterday when I got up on that stage
In front of that crowd
And showed them who was who, and what was what
Man look at these suckers
I ain't no rapper, I'm a hustler
It just so happens that I know how to rap
OKAY, I'M RELOADED!

@SufiCaughtWreck real for this thread

Hova Outro is one of my fav Hov verses

It's actually one of the highlights of Vol. 3

The theme song to the sopranos

no doubt, those three and so ghetto

• the 1st recorded Nas diss aka Come and Get Me

and Anything

Who ever thought young Shawn Carter would change the game?

So ghetto is a classic and has one of Jay's hardest verses . Love premiere's production

And people think Jay can't hit us in the feels

I think 90s Hov at his best was the hardest rapwise. That Smile verse probably the closest thing to RD Hov
