Been my ringtone for my big brother for years

[RoddyRodbb]

Now i wanna "All of the lights" with Toomp drums lol

[seniormass]

MBDTF is a Masterpiece. All those chefs needed to be there

[keithmoses]

Kool G. Rap "Brother on the run" is definitely underrated. The second version. It's like watching a movie with your ears.

[futurefind]

I just picture Jay laughing his ass off after hearing that song. 😂🤣

[adultcartoonsandcereal]

I was today years old when I found out, 'Toomp killed this one', Can't Tell Me Nothing and Big Brother is 2007 for me, Kanye shifted Hip Hop in 2007, 'Stadium Status' when I listen to Big Brother it gives me back the vibe of 2007, a pivotal time for me, Highschool, Highschool Basketball, Growth Spurt (Shot up to "6, 3'), Mental Growth, this record IS Nostalgia...

This the guy behind big bro and say hello?!? Wow he talented, love the vibes of those tracks

[sidneyoutlaw]

That's the real reason why he stopped, the money

[NuRhodesia]

and i was like yeah yeah we gonn be there but....

[ordinaryrapper]

Bro was tripping on Kanye bout them drums, if them hoes needed to be changed they just needed to be changed to make the song better

[juliussmith]

It Was More So About The Craft Of The Music For Kanye Not The Money 💯

[davidtharp]

Perhaps that was Ye’s intent to marginalize publishing cuts when the time came around…

[LuckyShowTime]

My big brother was B.I.G. brother. Used to be Dame and B.I.G. Brother 🎶

[odeleyebunmi]

That "say hello" song though. It hit harder. It should be top 10 on Jay's list.

[rhythemandpoetry]

Undying love by nas is the most underrated hands down.

[BobBobOnYouTube]

Can someone translate 0:52 to 1:03 into English?

[tragic]

Around this time I could hear Jay lyrics and style getting a little stale at this time but it seems like Kayne seem to recharge Jay after this. Similar with Wayne and Drake sometimes you just need that person that’s artist that’s totally different but it gives a lil more complexity and juice to what you already have.

Too many producers on my dark twisted fantasy. I know many people like it but I did not.
