In his neighborhood, Carter was known as “Jazzy”, a nickname that eventually developed into his stage name, “Jay-Z”. The moniker is also an homage to his musical mentor, Jaz-O (aka Jaz, Big Jaz), as well as to the J subway lines that have a stop at Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn. Jay-Z can be heard on several of Jaz-O’s early recordings in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including “The Originators” and “Hawaiian Sophie”. He also collaborated with Inglewood, California producer Three-1-Zero. His career had a jump start when he battled a rapper by the name of Zai. The battle caught the eye of many record labels, as Jay-Z was able to hold his own against Zai. He also made an appearance on a popular song by Big L, “Da Graveyard”, and on Mic Geronimo’s “Time to Build”, which also featured early appearances by DMX, Q-Man, Ja Rule and Shazim Hasan in 1995. His first official rap single was called “I Can’t Get With That”, for which he also released a music video.

@nikiforosssss Yup. Notorious Big, A.Z., Jay-Z, Dame Dash, and Kareem Biggs. Man that was a classic scene. Btw: Biggie is also in Jay-Z’s “Ain’t No” video from the Nutty Professor soundtrack.
When Jay-Z has his hat on, he looks like Shyheim from Wu-Tang clan.
@Fin6as This song was released in 95; Jay did have much money then. He had under a mil from trappin. Plus a 96 GS was and still is a pretty decent whip.

@poncekid56
He doesnt live that life anymore, so he cant express himself in that way. I find that happens to a lot of oldschool rappers, they just dont have that hunger, and drive like they used to
