If Jay Z’s catalog got deleted today, Hip Hop would be the same and nothing is gonna change

And then after 96 nas career was dying until Jay literally saved his life with takeover, because no takeover means no ether and nas would be floating in those Atlantic Ocean waters

False.

Nas's I Am sold 470K in its first week and went 2X Platinum. He dropped an album later the same year and went platinum. Those aren't signs of a dying career. If those are signs of a dying career, who was thriving? Outside of OutKast, none of the artists who debuted in 1994 who were alive were doing those numbers.

A 50 cent stan tweeting this

Jay is a better rapper, but is it crazy to say thay Fif got better songs? Or songs that you rather listen over Hov songs

 

[PHamm]

You can honestly say that shyt about nas

Illmatic came out and didn’t do shyt commercially at all..

People respected nas on the real hip hop level at the time

But you had Big and the Wu getting the east coast going

Bone dropped with Eazy and people was like who was that

Outkast first album dropped

Scarface Diary dropped

Warren G regulate and Snoop singles banging

Then nas second album dropped and even though him and Lauryn single did good
And the album sold like hot cakes, everything was about Pac in 96 and death row

And then after 96 nas career was dying until Jay literally saved his life with takeover, because no takeover means no ether and nas would be floating in those Atlantic Ocean waters

100%

137k likes and 10 M views on that is insane

Do twitter still got that bot problem or that's how people real life feel now bout Jay

 

[Ayo]

Drake fanboys and fangirls still in their feelings I see.

Hey dawg, what’s the difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6?

 

[Street Knowledge]

Jay Z is literally one of the most sampled rappers in history so this is factually incorrect
