Back when Dame Dash and Biggs Burke were still business partners with Jay-Z, the three had planned Beyond a Reasonable Doubt; a compilation album featuring several Roc-A-Fella artists rapping over Jigga’s classics. As we all know, Dame & Biggs would eventually leave the Roc, leading to the album being shelved and left unheard…until just recently. One of the features was then-Roc MC, Juelz Santana, doing his own version of In My Lifetime, Vol. 1‘s You Must Love Me. He tells his own tale of a life controlled by selling crack cocaine (a frequent topic of Hova). Pouring his heart into the vivid picture of the coke game’s bleakness, Santana suits Nashiem Myrick‘s production almost as well as S-Dot did back in ‘97; demonstrating yet again that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Juelz Santana is a very underrated MC. His last album nearly went platinum. For those who didn't read M. Burmy's write-up... this was recorded back in the day and just released; no comments on 'this shit old.'
I agree with you there Z, he may be the best lyricist on the entire Dipset Team! He can spit on the level of lil wayne easily. This track is really good...Is this album actually coming out?
this flow is boring. beat is too. usses the word m'fuc*er too much to end rhyme schemes. juelez is either on fire, or boring like this, hit or miss. but like Z said it may be just because it was back in the day, cua the joint i heard with wayne, he str8 murdered.
Nahh man he aint on the level of Lil Waynes spitting.. Nobody is... u cant compare Juels Santana to Lil Wayne.. Its just not right... but anyway this song is alright.. i wont have it on my playlist.. but i mean i think it would sound good with somebody like more mellow voiced like lloyd.. o like somebody more hardcore sounding like Rick Ross..
dj blaze ima have 2 disagree wit u sayin he can spit on da same level wit wayne. umm 4 example, chris brown's poppin remix. wayne's verse was hot n juelz verse made me wish i could fast forward da radio like it was a tivo. dis is kinda borin. da lyrics r nice tho.
ay yo i think juelz is up there wit jones as far as a spittin goes for dipset but ay DJ BLAZEE you needa slap yoself for puttn him on waynes level. thats like comparin shawn marion to kobe. jus diff levels son
On the list of best rappers, not saying what number, this is how I see it, wherever they are on the list:
Juelz Santana
Lil Wayne
And that's how it works
NO BODY who saying Juelz can't hang with Wayne is CRAZY...Lil' Wayne can't hold his own with Jay-Z if you go say that have anybody heard Hello Brooklyn Wayne Sucked on that...I Can't feel My Face Juelz is there with Lil Wayne bar for bar Wayne is the better rapper of course but don't act like Lil Wayne is just in a whole different galaxy than Juelz cause that just ain't true Weezie is starting to be hyped to much lets wait on the Carter 3 I expect it to be great...
