[Intro]
Can I get a small commercial break?
I think it's time for a small commercial break
Yeah, uh huh
Get up and stretch, I'm ready

[Verse]
Lookin' at them S Dots, it's about that time
To do Michael Jordan numbers
The sneaker game is mine
I ain't made 'em for the ball court, I made 'em to shine
So you can score big when you courtin' a dime
When niggas see me, shit, they see the grind
You gotta be blind you only see the shine
I dropped them S Dots and in record time
The number one seller since they first design
50-50, you know how I handle mine
A nickel for you, gimme my dime
Tell Paul Fireman I got him on fire, man
He ain't been this hot since A.I. was signed
Now a nigga talkin' to Kenyon Martin
Shawn Marion, shit I might be startin'
S Dot NBA niggas
Went from bein' in VA to signin' NBA niggas
I hurdled every hurdle, obtained
Every dame that was out of a nigga reach with my figure of speech
Open the door for my niggas with me
Openin' more for niggas I don't know so all y'all niggas can eat
If it wasn't for S Dot...

[Outro]
Now back to our regularly scheduled program, L'Album Noir: The Black Album

Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, and holding the solo artist record of 14 Billboard 200 #1 albums, Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter is possibly the most talented, accomplished and respected rapper of all-time. He has released 13 studio albums and five collaborative albums over his 30-year career.

Three of his albums, Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album, are considered landmarks in the genre, with all of them featured in Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Hov has won 21 Grammy Awards from sixty-four nominations, making him the 10th most awarded artist of all-time.

Legendary for never writing down his lyrics, JAY-Z’s flow is considered one of the greatest to grace the genre, his wordplay and metaphorical ability is unmatched, and his live shows push the envelope of what it means to be a hip hop artist. His MTV Unplugged appearance introduced the idea of having a full band (The Roots) backing up a hip hop artist at major concerts, and during his 2004 documentary Fade to Black he doubled down, selling out Madison Square Garden (in mere minutes) while featuring an enormous live band performance.
