Oops. My fault.
I think your list is very solid. Jay has so many songs that there's many to choose from but those songs are definitely highlights.
Edit: Roc Boys is definitely underrated. I remember waiting for a sequel to it after the end of the music video for years lol.

Yeah. With Jay-Z, his catalog is so extensive that it's hard to pinpoint just 10 songs. Ditto for Nas.
Dynasty Intro and This Can't Be Life are so classic. I remember mistaking the Dynasty album for a group project for years lol.

You a real one for including "Meet The Parents" on your list.
Very underrated Jay-Z track that don't get mentioned nearly enough. The storytelling on that song is brilliant.
