My mom passed away 2 months ago. I remember how she was looking forward to this album coming out because of this song. And when it dropped on 9/11 she had to get me off the bus because we were let out immediately. She went out the next day and bought it at an FYE in the mall. And this was one of her top 5 songs of all time. I still have the CD to this day. Love you mom.

I remember as a 13 year old kid on Long Island waiting for this album to drop. It was supposed to come out on 9/11/2001 and I had saved up money to go to Tower Records, but all plans were cancelled that day. IIRC Hot 97 in NYC was playing this single that summer. I had memorized the lyrics and was completely obsessed. The verses and of course the hook are incredible on this early Kanye West production. This track was all over the radio that summer, it's hard to describe how huge this track was.

This shit brings back so many memories man September 2001..9/11 ... sophomore year in high school just began and then 9/11 happens i remember being in Harlem when it happened and my dad came back from work and told me to turn the TV on ..i immediately ran to the rooftop and couldn't believe what i was seeing and this cut was playing while I was getting ready for school..I'll never forget that crazy it's been 20+ yrs but on a lighter note Jay(who never was my favorite rapper, at this time Nas was my favorite mc) was on fire at the time..and this is the album that put him up there with the greats imo and it'll almost certainly never be topped as my favorite album from Jay....jay seemed like he was having the time of his life on this album ..this cut and this whole album is absolutely classic and it remains by far my favorite Jay album and I love he basically did the whole album by himself except for Renegade which to me was always an Em track because like Nas said Em upped Jay no doubt about it and also since I had already heard Renegade before it was retooled and given to Jay and even more so since Em also produced the song..while Nas has always been the better mc imo and while Stillmatic is also a classic if I had to pick a favorite between this album and Stillmatic id most likely go with Blueprint

@@Hackaveli Yo, the 3rd verse is dark. He's explaining why he doesn't glorify selling crack, and be honest he doesn't once you really listen. He's paranoid (I keep one eye open like CBS in "Can I Live"), he knows there's an expiration date to it (This Can't Be Life), and he's ashamed of the stress it puts on his mom knowing he's a drug dealer. The scene he is setting is terrible. People outside selling their moms sofa, a person's dreams of basketball and making it out GONE. All the while, he's under a lamppost in cold weather with crack in his hand, looking out for police. That seems AWFUL. Like, he raps so fast and his subject matter is so mature it really takes to understand it.
