History Photographed on Instagram: "This concert was a 2004 joint performance by Jay-Z and Beyoncé.⁠ ⁠ While performing, Jay-Z's mind went blank, and he stopped rapping during the song's introduction. ⁠ ⁠ The music continued, but the crowd's energy stalled along with him.⁠ ⁠ In a now-famous moment captured on video, Beyoncé, standing next to him, shot a "death stare" in his direction."

@lordofsamples on Instagram: "In an interview Jay-Z admitted that he hoped the song would be a success like “Hard Knock Life“ due to their similarities, but was surprised when it wasn’t, adding: “I dropped the record and then nothing.“ #hiphop #jayz #sampling"
