'Streets Is Watching' is a musical 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'.[https://web.archive.org/web/20071029120506/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/205005/Streets-Is-Watching/overview 'Streets Is Watching' (1998) - Movies], 'The New York Times' 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.
