Seems like just yesterday I heard this song for the first time but in reality the year was 1998, and I was just a kid in love with music and HIp Hop in general. Jay Z made everyone fall in love with this song and he had everyone singing the chorus as loud as they could, as the reason why he cliched my Throwback Thursday spot for this week with the anthem "Hard Knock Life". The single comes from Hov's third album Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life. The song derives as a sample from the song "It's the Hard Knock Life" from the Broadway musical Annie. Produced by The King 45, "Hard Knock Life" was the most commercially successful Jigga man single and even today the song is still the anthem that has everyone singing it when it plays.
