Before Jay Z was big pimpin' and spendin' cheese, he was a pretty darn cheesy rapper on the rise.
On Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hov took a trip down memory lane ahead of his Tidal X: 1020 concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, who dug up old footage from one of Jay Z's first ever rap performances. As you can see in the video above, it was some quality, classic material.
Jay, 45, remembered this being the "worst show ever," be he laughed along as the late-night host showed the vintage clip. In it, we see a much younger Jay with a buttoned-up polo shirt and kinda-'80s hairdo. His image back then wasn't quite the same as it is today, but his rap game was still pretty strong!
After watching the clip, Jay couldn't help but crack up at his younger self. "That was embarrassing," he said through laughter. "In the bit I say something about, 'Jay Z's embarrassed'--I was a prophet, because that was embarrassing!"
Which part? "The haircut," he began, "[and] the shirt--everything!"
Jimmy joked of Beyoncé's hubby's past wardrobe, "It looked like you were going to play a round of golf after that."
