Who'd have thought this fresh-faced youngster would do what he's done.
Jay Z is doing alright for himself - he's one of the most respected artists in the world, he's married to Beyonce and he worth around $520 million.
However, just like everyone else, he had to start somewhere and one of his first ever forays into the limelight has surfaced online.
The year was 1990, Jay Z was 20-years-old, and he made an appearance on TV station BET's
Rap City.
The presenter doesn't even name-check Jay, before he spits out a freestyle rap. It's surreal.
