Jay-Z had a huge 2009, but let’s go back to 1990 when him and Jaz-O’s bummy ass were rapping together, and Pac was still in dancing school. In this video – The Originators – Jay-Z raps really fast à la Fushnikens; pretty well, too. I’m a big Jay-Z fan. In fact, I went to see him when he came to MTL last year, but it must be noted that when Nas came out, he was straight gangster, whereas Jay-Z began with the nerdy backpack rhymes. Just saying.
