Jay-Z: Dead Presidents II

Aside from being Jigga's all-time greatest jawn, this song has history aplenty behind it.
For a long time, I was confused when I would listen to The World Is Yours and never hear the sample that Ski used for DP2, but after a little bit of digging, it turns out that Ski used the vocal from a Q-Tip remix of The World Is Yours. That explains a lot.
Equally interesting is the roots of the Jigga-Nas feud allegedly beginning because Nasir didn't want to re-record his chorus. He also didn't appear in the video upon request. Then they traded words, and Jay spit venom about how Nas was using his own voice wrong and 'tec on the dresser' and blahzay blah.
Despite all that, this is a top 10 jawn.
