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

people just be talking man that's why you have to protect your peace. just laugh and move on no reason to give shyt like this any light

Scarface gave it away...come on man

Nah, Face up there in discography discussion. Snoop and Kendrick were the dead giveaways for me, especially the one album wonder.

 

[Ryda52]

Those are really good points. Also Jay's marriage to Beyonce has really helped him stay relevant over the last 15 years.

You nikkas are weird with this take, I swear.

Highly presumptuous

Kanye’s springboard was his work on one of the best albums of the 00s before it even became a talk of his own solo ambitions. Working with the likes of Mos Def wasn’t going to get Kanye closer to mainstream adoration

He needed Jay-Z and what he represented within rap

Without Dre’s co-sign Em would’ve been relegated to the Soundbombing shyt no differently

Don’t mistake the public’s acceptance of anything nowadays for how shyt was then

I’m sorry but someone with Kanye’s determination, talent and work ethic there’s a very strong chance he was eventually going to blow up. We’re talking about someone who went from being a top producer to a top rapper to having a multi-billion dollar shoe line. Kanye is more talented than Jay Z.

How is that weird? Jay marrying Beyonce helped him level up socially. Y’all don’t fully understand the doors that open up socially when you’re married.

This has nothing to do with musical relevancy. Also, that shyt goes both ways. Y’all act like Jay would be some has been bum out here if it wasn’t for Beyoncé, comical.

lol it has a lot to do with musical relevancy when your wife is one of the top musicians in the world. And I agree it goes both ways, but Beyonce has been more musically and pop culturally relevant by herself over the last 15 years.

Terrible opinion.

Again, that has nothing to do with hip hop. Pop doesn’t dictate what goes on in hip hop spaces. And in hip hop spaces, there will likely never be a timeline where Jay isn’t relevant in someway shape, form, or fashion. Hate him or not.

 

[DontEemTry]

I don't know about hip-hop but no Jay-Z means no clicks. That nikka name is feeding the majority of these bloggers today

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

"Aye put that Jay-Z on"

never heard that

 

[Rembrandt]

Right and wrong. His importance in rap really goes past his albums. But his discography got him there. If we could put him in the same positions theoretically at the at end of the day, then I would agree with the tweet.

It feels like his discography got increasingly irrelevant in comparison to his peers.

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Damn man, there's so many people that just want to see Jay lose, it's wild.

Jay's contributions to the game are more than cemented, y'all are bugging.

 

[SunZoo]

I hate anybody pushing this bullshyt especially on the strength of streaming. The way (and why) music is consumed is so different now, that shyt should not hold nearly as much sway as some of these fakkits think it should.

A retarded take for a bunch of retarded people.
