hmmmm…..this mite take a few listens….at least hes flowing properly!

ROC BOY’Z IN THE BUILDING TONIGHT!

“Think OJ, I get away with murder when I sling yey
I got less steps than Brittney, that means it ain’t stepped on, dig me”

Jay is officially back as if he ever left this bitch right.

Damn people on other sites hating on this track.

‘do these fool listen music or do they just skim through it’

first of all i wanna thank my connect/the most important person with all due respect/thanks to the doufle bag/the brown paper bag/the nike shoe box for holdin all his cash/boys in blue who put ? before the badge/the first person who ever made the stash/

People always set some incredibly high standards for Hov, so it’s no surprise if anyone’s hatin’ on it.

And that line is “boys in blue who put greed before the badge”

Whoever hates this song needs to put their meth pipe on hold for a sec and listen to this song when all their faculties are workin’correctly.

Happy B-Day Riz.

Is this Just Blaze? So so hot.

I’m wit DonnyF

I don’t know. Jay-Z has lost his flow in my book. This sounds like a re-hashed Kingdom Come with drugs instead of fame as the topic. I love Jay-Z, but when he’s not flowing that well, he’s not that good.

Happy b’day, Riz. This track is aight. “Dead Prez III” sounds like it might be more than OK though.

Tripe.

Great track (is it Yeezy on produc’ - you can hear him ad-libbing on the chorus!?)

It’s produced by Puffy and The Hitmen…I know, I couldn’t believe it either.

…Also sounds a little like a fela kuti sample - don’t you think?

Quality.

Diddily???! - nice!

why do people get surprised about the hitmen producing good tracks? as if you cats weren’t rocking to “the benjamins” or most of puffy’s “no way out” cd. come on now!

this track is bananas btw.

I’ve bopped my head to many a Hitmen tune but c’mon…they are hit and miss and been a bit quiet of late…

Just giving props for sounding a little fresh!

And props to Hov for knowing how to pick tracks that fit a concept he has and then riding over them seamlessly.

Nov 6th, i cant fucking wait

Thanks, Ian.

Gezzius, I don’t think it’s a Fela sample.

Cheers Riz…it just reminded me of him.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Those horn riffs are super official.

This track is hot, I do not know how people dislike it. The production and flow is hot.

Ppl dislike it as Rizoh said ‘cos they either a. don’t like Jay or b. they set incredibly high standards for Jay which even when met still find a way to not like it..

The track is excellent prod by the Hitmen and the sample is from a brass band..with some live instruments added in for good measure..

wth is Ivan..my fellow Roc-ateer?

Yeah, Ivan is excited as hell about this track. Matter fact, he was the one who alerted me on the leak. Well worth the excitement.

the hitmen got alot of this good production in hip hop going in the first place….and it looks like Jay is about to put this bullshit rap in it’s place

I guess I just cant see how this wouldn’t meet any standard people set.

Especially because this clearly wasn’t meant to sell records (although obviously he wants to sell them). This doesn’t sound nearly as formulaic as so many of his previous projects.

LOL at your scratching Bleek off. Bleek would be cool. I could see Kanye doing a verse if there was a remix

@Purpose: you know the fabric that creates Jay-hate is typically void of any sort of objectivity and pretty much stems from a jealousy, a wish that the haters fav rapper would take Jay’s place…when it’ll more than likely never happen..

It’s cool tho..this song is a great song and from a lyrical perspective very impressive, like Riz said with double entendres everywhere..Jay seems to be going in that direction more so these days of late..

This is the new hot hip hop informative site http://icedotcom.blogspot.com/

Happy Belated (or Happy Very Early) Birthday, Rizoh!

The track is an instant classic, and ya gotta love Kanye in the background.

SB: “wth is Ivan..my fellow Roc-ateer?”

Right here! lol…..Don’t u agree though that Bleek & Beans shoulda rocked the mic alongside Hov on this one……that woulda been ILLLLLLLLLLLLLLy

[...] Roc Boys [...]

the sample is from the Many Hands Street Band. It’s a super rare record.

Menehan Street Band.
Available on Daptone Recs

jay z’s roc boys does sound like a sample from fela kuti or femi kuti…

Roc Boys is nice as hell=)Jay-Z killing it=)

KP

Not a rare record actually.. it is a new recording from last year and I bought it about 6 months ago

for the record this is the sample that was used and the production team dug deep to find it. For the whole of the song they essentially built off the sample and did some work on it, but left it completely unchanged at the riff that appears at the end of the track. Maybe intentionally as an homage to where they got it?! Either way, when i figured it out it was a trip that’s for sure.

anyways,the sample is:

Glen Brown: Tel Aviv Drums Recorded in the early 70’s with in Kingston Jamaica, King Tubby behind the boards… epic…

2 re-releases out there.

2004 Trojan Records:
King Tubby: In Fine Style
#TJDDD 063

also appears on

2005 Hot Pot Records
Glen Brown & Friends:
Rhythm Master Vol.1
