@oursoundstash: JAY-Z reflects on the weight that came with being a hustler, particularly when the decisions he made put other people at risk. He remembers sending someone out on a job and waiting for them to return. 2:30 passed, then 3:30, then 4:30. With every hour, the possibilities became heavier. Had they been arrested? Had something worse happened? And underneath it all was the knowledge that he had sent them there in the first place. That feeling would find its way into ‘Regrets’, where JAY-Z wrote about waiting for a call from his friend rather than the coroner. Years later, the memory still carries weight. It’s one of the realities behind ‘Reasonable Doubt’, where the consequences of hustling were often just as important as the lifestyle itself.
