Shawn Carter (Jay-Z), Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Justin Smith (Just Blaze), Snoop Dogg, Scarface "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)", "Guilty Until Proven Innocent", "Change the Game" La presentación de una nueva generación de superproductores. Un álbum colaborativo de Roc-A-Fella que introdujo al mundo a Kanye West y Just Blaze. Introducción: El Imperio Roc-A-Fella
"The Dynasty: Roc La Familia" es el quinto álbum de estudio de Jay-Z, aunque fue concebido como un álbum colaborativo para presentar al elenco de su sello discográfico, Roc-A-Fella Records.
El álbum es históricamente significativo por una razón principal: introdujo al mundo a dos de los productores más importantes de la historia del hip-hop, Kanye West y Just Blaze. Su innovador uso de samples de soul acelerados ("chipmunk soul") definió el sonido del hip-hop de la década de 2000 y se convirtió en la nueva seña de identidad musical de Jay-Z. El disco fue un éxito de crítica y público, y consolidó a Roc-A-Fella como el sello de hip-hop más importante del momento.
Contexto y Grabación
El álbum cuenta con la participación de artistas del sello como Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek y Amil, así como estrellas invitadas como Snoop Dogg y R. Kelly. Sin embargo, son las producciones de los entonces desconocidos Kanye West y Just Blaze las que roban el protagonismo.

"I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)": Producida por The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams y Chad Hugo), esta canción se convirtió en uno de los mayores éxitos de la carrera de Jay-Z.
"This Can't Be Life": La primera producción de Kanye West en un álbum de Jay-Z, una emotiva canción que samplea a Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes.
Rendimiento y Legado
"The Dynasty" debutó en el número 1 en Estados Unidos y fue certificado doble platino. Su legado es inmenso por haber sido la plataforma de lanzamiento para las carreras de Kanye West y Just Blaze, dos productores que cambiarían el sonido del hip-hop para siempre.

Letra
[Beanie Sigel] Damn how am I gonna say this shit? Hey... hey dad, yeah it's your boy Remember me? I wanna talk to you scrap I remember being kicked out the house 'cause I looked just like you Said I'd be nothing but a crook Just like you The niggaz in the hood was shook Where the just like you 'Cause all they said was little whitey look I'm just like you But dog I can't see it at all, shit We never kicked it at all We never pitched or kicked at a ball Dog, you never taught me shit How to fight, ride a bike, fix a flat None of that sorts of shit Nigga you was an abusive pops Fuck you left me out to dry, stuck Gotta teach news to box Gotta teach news to bop And that aint the half of it man I gotta teach news to block It's about time we have a father to son (nigga sit down) Sit down let me tell you 'bout your fatherless sons How they grew to be men and father they sons Father they daughters Nigga, you left a fatherless daughter I never follow your orders Nigga you make me sick Pussy you could....ooh How you gonna leave these memories in the back of my mind I can see it clear as day you smackin my mom I 'member that day you showed me that gat, that 9 Put it in my palm when I was young And said that would be mine, you turned me out The reason why I hit the block Reason why I tried to hit them cops Reason why I started hittin shots Reason why I started gettin licked And drinkin syrup and skippin court Ginger bread man never think of gettin caught Look at your hand man damn you fought Nigga you left my mom Left us with no good-bye's You left us out to dry You left us with no letters, notes, (nothing!) no replies No digits numbers was unlisted You left us with some of my loneliest night Nigga some of my hungriest nights Shit, one of the reasons for years (shit embarrasin) Damn we used to think money was white Yeah you gave us life like, fruit from a plant We aint eat right from them foods from them stamps And to think you was my pop, Man i gotta stop shit [CHORUS] Female: Daddy, Where Have You Been? Beanie: And when you come home, you got us here all alone Female: Mommy, Where Daddy Went? Beanie: You always stick up for him Always said you'd make up for him Female: Mommy, What Happened Then? Beanie: What was you cheatin on him? Why he's always beatin' on you? Female: Daddy, Where Have You Been? Beanie: Nigga, you gonna hear me out [Jay-Z] I wanted to walk just like him (remember?) Wanted to talk just like him (word) Often momma said I look too much And I thought just like him (it could happen) Wanted to drink Miller nips And smoke Newports just like you But you left me, now I'm goin to court just like you I would say "my daddy loves me and he'll never go away" Bullshit, do you even remember December's my birthday? Do you even remember the tender boy You turned into a cold young man With one goal and one plan Get mommy out of some jam, she was always in one Always short with the income Always late with the rent You said that you was comin through I would stay in the hallway (waitin) Always playin the bench (waitin) And that day came and went Fuck You! very much you showed me the worst kind of pain But I'm stronger and trust me I will never hurt again Will never ask mommy "why daddy don't love me? Why is we so poor?, why is life so ugly? Mommy why is your eyes puffy?" Please don't cry everything'll be alright I know it's dark now, but we gon' see the light It's us against the world We don't need him, right? (right) Mommy drivin 6's now (yeah), I got riches now (yeah) I bought I nice home for both of my sisters now We doin real good We don't miss you now See how life twists around, fucker?

I shoulda known better, and I planned to But dog they be takin me out of my zone like a nigga with a handle I sat back and watched it, put the gats back in the closet I tried to tie my hands like an Iraqi hostage Let niggaz take shots at me, no response I just - flip and, pop my collar like the Fonz You give a nigga a foot he'll take you one step beyond He'll try to play you twice, the third time is the charm You wanna conversate with the writer of the Qu'ran Or Old Testament, don't test him then I know what y'all thinkin dick, pause Your future's my past, I've been here before I know when you're schemin, I feel when you plottin I got, mental vision, intuition I know where you goin I read your mind's navigational system Everybody whisperin - pst pst pst ss perspirin [Chorus:] When the, streets is talkin, niggaz is gossipin bitches all in your shit, what's the cause of it? I need to know.. Geah geah Yeah yeah yeah, yeah.. [Jay-Z] You see me with a bodyguard that means police is watchin And I only use his waist to keep my glock in But when shit goes down you know who's doin the poppin And if you don't know, guess who's doin the droppin S dot again, y'all got him in a bad mood Bad move; that's bad news How many times have I got to prove? How many loved ones have you got to lose Before you realize that it's probably true? Whatever Jigga say, Jigga probably do shit I paid my dues, I made the news I came in the door for dolo, blazed the crews And the streets say Jigga can't go back home You know when I heard that? When I was back home I'm comfortable dog, Brooklyn to Rome On any Martin Luther, don't part with your future Don't ever question if I got the heart to shoot ya The answer is simply too dark for the user And as a snot-nose they said that he got flows But will he be able to drop those before the cops close in? 'Fore the shots froze him, and he's dead and gone From what the block has spoken, my God Everybody stressin, who's his baby's moms? Who he got pregnant, let me tell you, ahh... [Chorus:] When the, streets is talkin, niggaz is gossipin bitches all in your shit, what's the cause of it? I need to know.. Chicka-uh-ah, ah-chk-ah-uh-ah Chicka-ch-ah, chk-ah-ah-ah When the, streets is talkin, niggaz is gossipin bitches all in your shit, what's the cause of it? I need to know.. Gi-gi-gi, geah yeah uh, yeah yeah uh Yeah, yo, yo [Jay-Z] I seen my first murder in the hall, if you must know I lost my pops when I was eleven mmm twelve years old He's probably somewhere where the liquor is takin it's toll But I ain't mad at you dad, holla at your lad I grew up pushin snowflake to niggaz that was pro-base The stress'll take a young nigga, give him a old face All I did was smoke joke, think and drink Copped 'caine and complained, front row watch game I seen niggaz before me, with a chance to write they own script Slip up and change the story I seen young niggaz go out in a blaze of glory Before reachin puberty, scared a nigga truthfully I took trips with so much shit in the whip That if the cops pulled us over the dog'd get sick, sniff Smell me nigga? The real me nigga, minus the rumors Holla if you feel me nigga [Beanie Sigel] The streets is not only watchin but they talkin now? Shit they got me circlin the block before I'm parkin now Don't get it twisted, I ain't bitchin, I'm just cautious now So, under the park the extra cartridge now Hit his click Sig' up you fell at it you're dense I get word to the street like Bell Atlantic express I feel the vibes and I hear the rumors But fuck it, I'm still alive and I'm still???? Allah niggaz wanna press me, put my back to the wall But pressure bust pipes I know, I spat it to y'all To know me is to love me, you see me, can't be me, hate this fuck you I got guns like Neo in +Matrix+ Cross the Family, think Mac's sweet like payroll Or soft like Play-Doh get knocked off like Fredo Corleone, they find you with a hole in your dome I roll with niggaz that'll follow you and go to your home Thought you ball, but nigga you fall to my defense Catch you while you reachin, clip you then I cross you then I'm leavin Apply full court pressure Like four-four?? Get you out of here, pull pressure To the trigger, bullets fly in three's You forever rest under bullshit, dirt lies and leaves I do bullshit, dirt, tell lies then leave Look in my eyes, realize it's Beans niggaz wanna despise the team; till I play head coach And straight up, divide they team Trade they man for some pies and a couple of things Til the bullet..
