How come Jay-Z hasn't made a song as good as A Queens Story?

[Danny Up]

How's it your shyt, but it's far from great and a bunch of bytchin'?

That makes no sense. Either you like it or you don't.

I think nikkas just live to dislike shyt sometimes... even stuff they like.

Put it like this I like the beat and Pharrell's chorus. Jay-Z's lyrics leave a lot to be desired, IMO.

Jay-Z - Fallin

2).Jay-Z
3).Common

Nas is my favorite rapper but i think Most Kingz is a little better

[Brady-Carter]

[malbaker86]

Because he isnt as good as Nas

smh foh

 

[Shammago]

Nas and Jay are both obviously great.

I think Jay Z's "Fallin" off AG is a fine example of storytelling for Jay Z.

Nas obviously does a better job but Jay if he wants to could go the distance.

Jay-Z - Pray

Jay-Z - Pray - YouTube

Lmao, this song is exactly like "A Queen's Story". Neither uses a regular beat, and they're both storytelling tracks that take place over a period of several years.

 

[CapFromMCU]

i remember hearin jay-z say he always wished he had a iller rap voice, he said he hates his voice. that may have a lot to do with why he can't make his gritty street sh!t sound as gritty and NASty as nas does. he'd sound pathetic to me tryin to spit a "queens story" type joint, i can hardly even imagine it. jay-z is swag, nas is raw, thats they lanes

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

if Jay-Z wanted to dwell on the street life again he would've done so already, but he's on top of the game and not looking back

He gave ya American Gangster...what more can he say?
