Hov’s Deadly Medley (BP3 Tour, Atlanta)

Anyone’s who’s ever been to a Jay show knows the man just has too many records. Right, Bleek? To please the masses as much as he can, Shawn runs through past and present hits with precision in these two clips. And remember if you don’t know the old stuff, it’s your fault, not his. Ha!
