Streets Is Watching is a 1998 American musical drama film in which Jay-Z composes a film with many of his unreleased music videos tied into a storyline. The film takes place in Jay-Z's old neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. The film uses transitional skits between music from Jay-Z's albums Reasonable Doubt and In My Lifetime, Vol. 1.[1] The film is noteworthy because it contains Jay-Z's first two videos, "In My Lifetime" and "I Can't Get Wit That", both released without a major label contract. Each skit is meant to accompany the music it precedes. The same setting or set of the videos are also the same set for the correlating skit.
