Jay-Z & Kanye West Live @ MSG Premiering "Jocking Jay-Z" Snippet x Big Tymers - Big Ballin'


BLUEPRINT 3 from kwest on Vimeo.

As mentioned in a post 2 days ago, Jay-Z is on the verge of a new album The Blueprint 3 (The Gift & The Curse & The Exorcism Of Beyonce Knowles maybe?) and is in full promo mode. I knew that he wouldn't do a cover of Vibe Magazine just because it's their 15th Anniversary issue ... he's selfish like that.  Business is business. 

Anyway, the above video is a pretty HQ clip of the "Jockin' Jay-Z" song that he debuted @ Kanye's MSG show a few days back AND, below, is a bonus vintage Cash Money Records video for the Big Tymers's song "Big Ballin'" a portion of which Mr. West flipped and interpolated for the new Jay-Z song's hook. Checkout Mannie Fresh's 1st bars @ the top of the 2nd verse. Also, see if you can find Young Buck in the video as well.

Incidentally, this particular Cash Money record is the joint that made me fuck with their music early. Me and my brother Niketown still let this shit knock out the truck homie ... if you hear this song somewhere around Brooklyn now, it's probably us ... lol. By the time that this dropped in 1998, Master P was sooooooooooo 1997.
