I’m on my Youtube sh*t.
Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt concert slated for June 25th (exactly 10 years from the release date) reportedly sold out in 3 minutes. Well, here’s a slew of circa RD vids for those of us who’d rather get a toe massage than fork out thousands of dollars for ebay tickets.
Pre-Reasonable Doubt Videos:
Jay-Z – I Can’t Get with That (Doin’ the tongue-twist-iggidy thing)
The Originators – The Jaz (The dance at the end is the best part)
Original Flavor – Can I Get Open (Strictly for laughs)
Jaz – Hawaiian Sophie (Nas must have seen this like 200 times)
Reasonable Doubt Videos
Can’t Knock the Hustle ft. Mary J. Blige (Before Mary J features became a cliche)
Dead Presidents (Jay-Z and Cristal go Wayyy Back)
Feelin’ It (Yet another free ad for Cristal)
Ain’t No Nigga (You gotta do the “Dame Dash” this one)
Friend or Foe (Classic Premo sh*t)
Some Notable Post-Reasonable Doubt Videos
Friend or Foe ’98 (starring Dame Dash as Jay-Z’s butler)
You Must Love Me (The Jay-Z we all love)
Hard Knock Life (The Jay-Z we all miss)
Bonus Cuts:
Jay-Z vs. DMX Freestyle Backstage (The real reason DMX fled from Def Jam)
BET Freestyle w Free & AJ (The diss that ended R.Kelly’s career…j/k)
Jay-Z and 50 Cent Reebok Commercial (Jigga just can’t resist the tendency to collaborate with potential rivals, can he?)
Jay-Z+Linkin Park – Numb-Core (Even though they tried to sell us the same sh*t twice, “Numb/Encore” was worth the time they wasted on the collabo. I hear you Kanye.)
Jay-Z – What More Can I Say/Fade to Black (If the Nets had this guy as their announcer, they might actually win a game or two.)
Tip: For maximum output, do not play all the videos at the same time
I know someone will have today’s RD concert footage somewhere on the internets even before the show gets started. So, holla at me with the update when it goes down like Yung Joc.
