"Errrybody got a story...Here's mine"

Jay-zJournal Team edit:

"A familiar first encounter by Laqueena that we had to feature it on the homepage. Hearing Aint No Nigga in the summer of "96, thats ROC-A-FELLA right there."

I was a teenager the very first time I heard his voice. I remember walking past a parked car in the neighborhood of my elementary school. It was the summer of '96 (14yrs old & I didn't swear at the time) and I got close enough to the car to hear, "I keep you fresha than the next chick..." I immediately parked my tail on the hood and KEPT asking myself "Who IS this guy? Who the F*** IS THAT!!!" When the announcer said "that was "Aint No Nigga" by Jay-Z featuring Foxy Brown." I said, "where has Jay-Z been all my life? I haven't felt a love like this since Rakim!"  I've followed him ever since; only purchasing his albums out of the stores (had to keep replacing them for thieves).  He has inspired me to know "my one-of-kind self" through his inherantly genuis music and invaluable contribution to Hip-Hop/the world as a whole.  I have an infinite amount of love for everything about him....he's just the bestest!
