(Young) Young Hov

So with the Blueprint III fully upon us, I thought it would be a gas to look back at a lil footage of the young, Young Hov.  Who is this guy?:

He looks so awkward in this video... where's the famed Jigga Swag?  I love the crouching and swinging hand gestures shots.

The flattop?  The crazy adjustable hat?  The 90 mph flow?  Yall never seen Hov like this!!

Roughly 15 years later and with more #1 albums than Elvis under his belt, modern day Jay gets nice like this... and for the record, BP3 doesn't come close to the classic, which is the original Blueprint, but it's a classic in its own way.  Nearly all the tracks (with the exception of "On to the Next One") are solid and grow on you with successive listens.  Is it Hov in his prime?  No.  But it's a great listen, which I think figures into the very bottom of his top 5 albums ever.
