The recent Jay-Z singles-thread got me thinking there are some tracks he didn't release as singles.
What's your favorite song from the Jiggaman? Any songs really, feature, own songs, but post a link to it so people can listen.
Might be hard to choose, and I can't really decide what's mine.
Ain't No Love (In the Heart of the City) ('01), taken from The Blueprint, produced by Kanye West
http://www.youtube.com/v/QePjIIBI-sI
The beat and the sample is just amazing, loving it and it's a very very great song in my opinion; however, Jigga could've written something better to this instrumental.
Meet the Parents ('02), taken from The Blueprint 2: The Curse, produced by Just Blaze
http://www.youtube.com/v/KQ5A2aKmZhI
It's a fantastic track in my opinion; great story telling, a tight beat from Blaze however it lacks something but I can't really tell what.

Where Have You Been
Get Your Mind Right
Dead Presidents II
The City Is Mine
Girls Girls Girls

Only two Jay-Z songs I ever liked. The rest are all garbage. Even "Renegades" Royce and Em served him a street hit, and he ruined it.
Only good Jay-Z tracks are...
"Can't Knock The Hustle" with Mary J. - this is a good song, because it came out during the height of hip-hop's golden age in the mid-90's. So just about anything from that time period is dope. Mary J. comes tight on the hook, and Jay does his best not to fuck up the track with his bullshit lyrics.
"Black Republican"- with Nas. - this is a rare case where Jay-Z actually enhanced the quality of a song. The beat was already a banger, and Nas comes tight as usual (although nothing spectacular), yet Jay took the record to the next level. He spit about his relationship with Nas, them being enemies then joining forces, had some dope quotables, lines like "Brings the coin to a head/cha-ching".

Hah crazy I was gonna go with those two along side "D'evils", Jay is a great story teller, meet the parents is crazy dope. The Dynasty Intro is straight as well, possibly 1 of the best album intros ever made.

this is the greatest post of all time
favourite jay track? d'evils that shit was dope. as for newer jay probably u dont now from blueprint
-
Mine would be 'Ain't No Love' & 'Never Change'
I used to play the shit out of those tracks.
-
Some great tracks mentioned in here guys. D'Evils, U Don't Know, Never Change are all classics. I like Song Cry too, fantastic song.
Inifinite is still trolling I see
And why GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS mentioned in this thread? Probably the worst song Jay has, and that's not a matter of opinion, that's cold fact.
-
No way girls girls girls is jays worst track. It's not great but man he's got some absolute duds, blueprint 2 is loaded with them.
I'm going with dirt off your shoulder

*Dirt Off Your Shoulder
I'm pretty fond of Star Is Born & Off That too (mostly because of Cole and Drizzy though)...

But damn his catalog is just impressive.

"D'evils"
"Regrets"
"Where I'm From"

"Dead Presidents" is my favorite Jay-Z song of all times.
-
So many classics. Hard to choose. I'm gonna go with one that hasn't been said yet. 1st Song.
Jay's got a lot of duds, but arguably as many great songs as anyone.
