The prophetic tone of Reasonable Doubt is underrated. This guy gave us a blue print to what he came to do on this record and then year by year we witnessed him achieve it.
Totally agree. In my personal opinion. Jay Z has never been the same since. Sure he has wrote multi platinum CD's. But RD is that rare jewel. He's frame of mine was totally different. He was the lesser rapper. No charts. Jay can never be the RD Jay z.
@@mustafahajj An artist first album takes their whole life to make and any album after that can't be as good just because their lives and success has now entered the picture
Eyy yo Warren,quick question, what exactly did you mean when you said “Rule 1, Never Lose Money,Rule 2,Refer To Rule 1. What did you mean by that bro??✌🏿🇿🇦 Good spottin out on that Scorsese bit
Reasonable Doubt was so slept on and unappreciated when it first came out. It is the lyrical version of any movie that portrayed the street life but Jay expressed it in a way that made it crystal clear.
Jay is the Goat. The "real" Goat is controversial. There are many successful emcees. Successful in other ways, perhaps. Jay is wealthy which doesn't necessarily makes him the "real" goat. Mind you, rappers did this free of charge once upon time.
Naw... If we measure sports althlets on titles won... J is number 2 on most number 1 albums with (13) behind the Beatles with (19).. His second to none in rap and on a list on legends and Icons. Only other rapper near Jayz in Eminem with (7)...
Steven Shewmake that just makes him the most popular. Number one albums don’t mean much. Eminem is a good example he is skilled but just popular. A lot of white kids bought his shit same wit Jay. Where I’m from nobody was bumping Eminem in the hood. So number one albums don’t say how great you are just popular. Peace.
I'm 40 going on 41 this music was the quintessential timepiece for my era and for some of it those of you who weren't there would not understand but just being a young impressionable teenager in the prime era of hip-hop with crown jewels like Reasonable Doubt and Illmatic there's nothing like it everything spoken in this video is true the word
Can't knock the hustle is hands down the most inspirational song. That song and the joint with him and Pharrell, Ambitious. Wow. I know I have a soul because that's where I feel it.
Can't put into words just how much inspiration Jay has given me & the world. Since I was 15 to now (37). Every time I listen I learn from him. Irrespective if Reasonable Doubt to 4.44, EVERY time is a lesson. This man paved the way for for belief, greatness & success. We are blessed to even know of him.
It took me a while to understand doubt. For this to be his freshman album and to be this timeless is incredible. The lyricism in this album is impeccable. It’s almost a audio movie in a sense as u listen to it.

Mr. Carter has been droppin jewels💎 from day one while telling us history (his story) throughout his career thru his music 😌💯🎤👑❤ it's damn near impossible for me to choose 1 favorite joint off Reasonable Doubt 😏 so the entire album is my favorite 😊 just one of my favorites from multiple Hip Hop classic albums from my era ( 80s,90s early 2000s) 😌✌.
Yep I still got the In my Lifetime Maxi-single CD and the Original released CD before Priority Records the second batch...been growing with Jay Z for a while...a brilliant mind...Jay Z and Master P raised a whole generation.
I am 35 and it’s 2020 and I’m just now getting this album. I’ve always been a fan of Jays. But I had to understand every word threw out the entire album. Joen S. Vazquez.
I was a die hard nas fan and then came reasonable doubt... My lil sis gave me a bag of tapes and RD was in it... Jay is the GOAT...u can feel the realness in every song... With nas it was just great poetry
He aint even top 5. Why he the Goat? Cause you just watched a documentary about his best album, so you in your feelings? Lol Jay dope , dont get me wrong. This his best album. Black Album 2nd. 3rd and 4th would be Dynasty mixtape and HardKnock Life and times 2. Besides that tho, everything else hes made is overhyped. So if hes the Goat, you got him over who? Pac? Biggie? Rakim? Kane? Pun? Big L? Andre3k? KRS1? Without KRS1 there wouldnt be a JayZ. He better than Nas? Eminem? RZA? I already know what you gonna say , "blah blah blah Money, Success, album sales , blah blah." Tekashi 6'9 broke some views record today , has a ton of #1s. Eminem MMLP is the top selling album of all time, plus Em got the same longevity as Jay so you cant use that either. Jay aint the only billionaire , Ye is too, 50 on his way. Jay the Goat , whats he the Goat at exactly?? Im not buying it.
GOAT!!! "Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?" You skimmed through the documentary too huh.. 😆 I got a list, it goes Reggie, Jayz, 2pac and Biggie... Oh wait wrong list...

Nas was not just a history teacher cause when I was in my science class way bck HS I playd stillmatic on my sony discman and during math class I listen to Jay. They did more than my 2 major subject teachers do. 😂
This was when Jay used to inspire me in my early thirties with his lyrics to work diligently on my civilian job (with a dope boy mind) to push through negative emotions like Tupac inspired me in my twenties to be bold and fearless even though my money and self esteem was low. I'm 50 now and I enjoy a good material life (nice home, nice cars, nice income, nice wife) due to keeping God first ultimately but living off of the inspiration of a few of His creatures like Tupac and Hov!

I was so mesmerized by the "Reasonable Doubt" Project from the first listen, that I called home from the prison and told my nephew to book Jay Z for concerts in Miami and the Bahamas. I just wanted to establish contact with the mindset behind the project. He chose to book Sizzla and Luciano, Reggae stars on the rise at the time. BLACK WOMAN AND CHILD and THE MESSENGER were successful albums so I couldn't be mad at the cultural impact. He's still disappointed that he didn't embrace the opportunity to connect with Jay on the ground floor of his successful career.

My special relationship with this album aside, this is the greatest album of all time. Endless bars and quotables. Beats are immaculate. Sublime lyrics. Delivery out of this world. If there's such a thing as a perfect record, Reasonable Doubt is it.
"I pimp hard on a trick, look Fuck if your leg broke bitch, hop up on ya good foot" Was banging Reasonable Doubt right along with It Was Written since '96 and still consider them both to be the artists' most underrated albums.
Being a hardcore FINANCIAL LITERACY student, I respect JAY’s REASONABLE DOUBT album,however in my humble opinion THE BLUEPRINT is by far his best, It’s a GOOD ALBUM with GOOD SONGS in it, to me REASONABLE DOUBT is an album with a few GOOD SONGS in it... for instance,in the song I NEVER CHANGE, in the 3rd and last verse,there’s a sick line that to me encapsulates the whole album(excuse the shortening and caps,they are merely for emphasis) when JAY says “Old heads taught me,youngin walk tall...CHAINS IS COOL TO COP BUT MORE IMPORTANT IS LAWYER FEES”🙌🏿🙌🏿 the sickness and truth of that line alone always has me looking at Rich White folk like “One day I’m gonna take over your shit and ya’ll ain never gonna know or understand where I came from to take the whole cake along with its crumbs” that line alone taught me one important lesson that pretty much everyone lacks,be it an entrepreneur,employee,hustler,thug etc we all look at the Upside(Money Coming in/Profits) yet we tend to forget about the most important part,that being the Downside aka the Rainy Day/Trouble....that line alone opened my eyes and mind and taught me how the real accumulation of money-that what Rich White Folk refer to as CRITICAL MASS- because of that line alone,my life changed...🙌🏿😉✌🏿🇿🇦

Illmatic ready to die the chronic marshall matters lp by all means necesarry enter the 36 chambers life after death it takes a nation of millions low end theory to pimp a butterfly..
I ain't gon' front, watching dude consistently in his zone, with an effortless flair, is Jordan-esque or in the vain of the King of Pop, or Prince... The greats just have "it" and it all comes together for them! 💯

All these videos speak to my life!!!!!!!!
I was so mesmerized by the "Reasonable Doubt" Project from the first listen, that I called home from the prison and told my nephew to book Jay Z for concerts in Miami and the Bahamas. I just wanted to establish contact with the mindset behind the project. He chose to book Sizzla and Luciano, Reggae stars on the rise at the time. BLACK WOMAN AND CHILD and THE MESSENGER were successful albums so I couldn't be mad at the cultural impact. He's still disappointed that he didn't embrace the opportunity to connect with Jay on the ground floor of his successful career.

My special relationship with this album aside, this is the greatest album of all time. Endless bars and quotables. Beats are immaculate. Sublime lyrics. Delivery out of this world. If there's such a thing as a perfect record, Reasonable Doubt is it.
Perfect
"I pimp hard on a trick, look
Fuck if your leg broke bitch,
hop up on ya good foot"
Was banging Reasonable Doubt right along with It Was Written since '96 and still consider them both to be the artists' most underrated albums.
Being a hardcore FINANCIAL LITERACY student, I respect JAY’s REASONABLE DOUBT album,however in my humble opinion THE BLUEPRINT is by far his best, It’s a GOOD ALBUM with GOOD SONGS in it, to me REASONABLE DOUBT is an album with a few GOOD SONGS in it... for instance,in the song I NEVER CHANGE, in the 3rd and last verse,there’s a sick line that to me encapsulates the whole album(excuse the shortening and caps,they are merely for emphasis) when JAY says “Old heads taught me,youngin walk tall...CHAINS IS COOL TO COP BUT MORE IMPORTANT IS LAWYER FEES”🙌🏿🙌🏿 the sickness and truth of that line alone always has me looking at Rich White folk like “One day I’m gonna take over your shit and ya’ll ain never gonna know or understand where I came from to take the whole cake along with its crumbs” that line alone taught me one important lesson that pretty much everyone lacks,be it an entrepreneur,employee,hustler,thug etc we all look at the Upside(Money Coming in/Profits) yet we tend to forget about the most important part,that being the Downside aka the Rainy Day/Trouble....that line alone opened my eyes and mind and taught me how the real accumulation of money-that what Rich White Folk refer to as CRITICAL MASS- because of that line alone,my life changed...🙌🏿😉✌🏿🇿🇦
I lost interest in everything you said soon as you wrote “reasonable doubt only has a few good songs” 🙈🤣
I AGREE THE BLUE PRINT WAS HIS BEST ALBUM!!!!
Shiiit. Blueprint was fire but go back and listen to reasonable doubt fam. Every joint 🔥
The Black Album is his best work hands down
