“Jay-Z has really stood alone over the course of his career and he never really let somebody else get in the front,” said Rahman Dukes, MTV News’ director of hip-hop news, about the collaboration.

After a successful year (and no album), Philly’s most wanted, Meek Mill comes in at #7 on MTV‘s Hottest MCs list. That’s a fair placement.
“For me, Meek is that real, real street music,” MTV News editor/writer Rebecca Thomas said. “As much as I’m a Drake fan, a Sean fan, all those people, I just think there are days you wake up and you need to hear ‘Ima Boss.’ If you didn’t feel ‘Tupac Back,’ if you didn’t feel ‘Ima Boss’ all last year, you’re dead.”

Some types of music that listen is pop, r&b, rock, reggae, and the oldies. What I listen to most is rap music. I like listening to rappers like Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I., 50 Cent, 2pac, Biggie Smalls, Nicki Minaj, and more. I got some old school stuff on my iPod. I love hip-hop.

I was 10 when I heard this. That was my favorite record of all-time. “Smokin’ iah, pourin up/keeping lean up in my cup”. Pimp C has the best verse. RIP Pimp C. I wanna wish Jay-Z a happy birthday.
This song became a number-one hit in 2000. It’s from Hov’s 1999 album Vol 3… Life and Times of S. Carter.

“When the player’s ball is happenin’ on Christmas Day”
This is the ORIGINAL version that was first released on the “LaFace Family Christmas” album. When it was featured on OUTKAST’S debut album, “SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICADILLACMUZIK”,most of the Christmas references in the lyrics were later censored but the “slay bells” in the beat remained. “THE PLAYER’S BALL IS HAPPENING ON CHRISTMAS DAY” is the most noticeable lyric that differentiates the original from the common version.
