thats a tough question, my three faves off the top of my head
U Dont Know
Allure
PSA
Slept on: “Meet The Parents” -Blueprint 2
oh yeah, and ‘No Hook’ from American Gangster
“roids… rolls-royce keeps my movement, smooth while maneuvering, through all the manure in the sewer that i grew up in”
shit is hard. but i’d probably say
“Nigga What, Nigga Who”
“Week Ago”
“Where I’m From”.
Meet The Parents was weak.
Lucky Me
Allure
City Is Mine
Lucifer
All around the world
Never let you down (Kanye song)
The Grammy Family freestyle
Hova has gems I know I missed a lot of great songs.
very hard to narrow down to just one, but i’d give a few: “Cant knock the hustle” , “Jigga (whats my name)” , “Soon you’ll understand”
Meet the parents was weak? Slap yourself B.Dot.
PSA
Allure
Can I Live
And his verse on Ye’s “Diamonds” remix is incredible.
Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing…
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn’t exist
So poof…vamoose son of a bitch. Lol!
Based on how everyone in the video responded it seems like they were asked what is their favorite Jay-Z song that they like to see him perform, which is different from asking what their favorite Jay-Z song is.
I’d have to agree with “P.S.A.” when it comes to performing. That joint is a monster live.
Can I Live
Regrets
P.S.A.
on top of my head
Imaginary Players
Ignorant Sh#t
Excuse Me Miss(Remix)
Girls,Girls,Girls
Allure
Where I’m from

FREEMASON

I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE !!!??!!!
Did everybody forget about song cry and what about his verse on I love the dough ?!
@B.Dot Yup. Not alot of people mention about that song. It’s just too ill.
PSA
You Don’t Know
Dynasty Intro
They ply those at the club every now and then and people still get hype
B.DOT ATE ME OUT !
If we’re talking performing live, my three would be:
1) I Know
2) Excuse Me Miss
3) Can’t Knock The Hustle
Every time he performs those live, especially with the live instruments, it just transcends rap.
hands down his verse in umbrella!
agree w/ B.Dot & trackflow23, i love NYMP .smooth track.
other ones i like are Resevoir dogs,& Its like that’ ft kid cupri
When I saw him and kanye at watch the throne concert. Nothing was liver than 99 problems.
Just the classics -1.) Umbrella 2.) Crazy In Love 3.) Heartbreaker
I’ve always wanted to hear “It’s Like That” live. Not that it’s a live track like some of the other bangers but just to see a stadium crowd vibin out to that track would be cool.
And “Trouble” cuz it knocks!
Renegade
Song Cry
PSA
Give that nigga a wheelchair when he performs

99 problems
Can I live
Encore
i wish he did takeover that would be live, he got shit he never does like the show you how to do this son joint. why he never do streets is watching?
The best of both worlds was dope too when he performed it at MSG
There are too many… I don’t think we will ever have another rapper w/ as many classic songs and albums!
People are just naming random songs that I’ve NEVER seen or heard of him performing. If we’re talking performance songs, it has to be:
You Don’t Know
PSA
Nigga What, Nigga Who (Always dope to see him flip that fast flow, and when the crowd goes “I THREW FO’ BACK!”…that’s priceless
my first song. actually ALL OF BLACK ALBUM
Nobody fucks with cashmere thoughts?
dynasty intro , show you how , real as it gets , dope man , d evils , this cant be life , go crazy remix was sick ..
Oh man I almost forgot about:
B**ches & Sisters (Bonus track off the Blueprint 2. Jay really broke down the difference between the two)
Lyrical Exercise (Bonus track off the Blueprint)
Those two songs right there were better than half of the tracks he had on the album
Allure

Worst Jay-z Songs = Any fuckin’ track from Watch the Throne… That entire album made me sick… Worst fucking album ever… Vanilla Ice’s 2 The Xtreme blows Watch the Throne out of this universe if you get my drift… Ughhh… Best Jay album Blueprint/Reasonable Doubt/Black Album
Original was better B.Dot… Although the producer wqsnt happy with the original, he liked the intenseness of the remit… But who am i??? Its all opinion.

i find jay z to be one of the most overrated rappers of allllllllllllllll time..just cuz people eat his shit up doesn’t mean its good, ive hated his annoying ass flow my whole life since h to the izzo..
dnt get me wrong dude has some good tracks and all, but i don’t see what everyone else does i guess..
People’s court
People talking
Blueprint 2 some low key sick tracks
@ deez
If your “my whole life” statement starts at H to the Izzo, then that’s your whole problem right there
