is it fair to say that hiphops greatest overachievers are these culprits :

Swizz Beats gotta be included in any overachiever list…he gets treated like he’s a legit peer of Pharell or Kanye, and the bulk of his production is cheap sounding trash…his shyt aged horribly…and is somehow a hip hop A-Lister

Really? Juelz is anything but generic imo. Even if you think he's wack, he's very unique in his style

To me generic NY rapper is like Vado or Red Cafe.

2 garbage ass MC's you spot on.
i remember when Red Cafe was all on smackdvd talking bout his going be the next "50 cent" but he only worked on his chest not his rhyme book :russ: :dame:


low-key you could include fabolous in this (never dreamt he would surpass mase). only found out he was from brooklyn off the rap records because i thought he was from new jersey all this time with paul cain and buddens and them. fabo's weak man.

I hate the way that nikka rhyme, and how he strongly emphasizes rhymes to let us know hes rhyming. I just hate that nikka and the way he rhymes I cant take it. Fabulous do the same shyt. Thats some generic shyt "look yall Im rhyming. Im really rhyming. Told yall I can do it!" shyt ass.

JayZ was already a superstar by the time he got with Beyonce and Kanye. Jay already had smash hits and multi plat albums before he got with Ye and Bey.
JayZ highest selling album was when Kanye was still in HighSchool. And Beyonce and Destiny Childs was just releasing their first single.
If anything Julez under acheived. At one point he was neck and neck with Weezy, as the hottest young rapper in the game.

the highlighted is the only real shyt you said.

miss me when nelly goes 7xplat no one talks about his skills, Jay goes plat when hiphop was booming. even lil zane went plat.

thats not a reflection of overachieving.

he started overachieving from BP2 on-wards, he lost it all but his brown paper bag game and network was flawless not his skills.

now he is seen as a rap God and a hollywood icon, hnic, . :hhh:

and the truth is he has turned into a C+ teen people gossip column writer. :hhh:

Jay Z is one of the most prophetic writers in hip hop. Man is in a lane of his own. Jay Z pen >>>>>>>>>>>> Nas pen by far.

i doubt it, but this is not about Nas whose pen-game has only recently got rejuvenated and i am not into all those tracks.

prophetic?

"my stamina be enough for pamela andersson lee" ok.

"i dumbed down to double my dollars, criticize me for it but they all yell holler" ok.

"narley dude i puff bob marley dude all days like rastafaris do" ok.

his a corn chipper rapper, little teenpeople gossip rhymes anything popping his going to rap about it, for buzz.

pill cosby, mick vick, chief keef, harry belafonte,etc.

you bought into a coke mafia image he tailored through straight lies, even the origin of his name has 2 stories meaning ducktales.

beyonce and yeezy gave him more of a boost than them out of space nasa travelers. :wow:

i switched my motto instead of saying fck tomorrow than buck that bought the bottle could have struck the lotto.

game over.

i throw a dart from any of the 25 better MC's than Jay.

Tragedy :

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, crime genetic
You synthetic, your gangsta's cosmetic
I move nikkas telekinetic, who want to set it

jay boring and now his Tm-Z. :russ:


those who rate him 1 are all in the industry hoping for a come up and an invite to the brunch to hopefully taste Beyonce's shrimp pataes.

Swizz Beatz isn't treated as an A-Lister. You don't really see Swizz out there like that and he definitely doesn't get the treatment that Pharrell or Kanye do. Yeah, he makes random appearances with other A Lister's, but he isn't given anywhere near the respect outside of Verzuz with Timbaland.

Like people saw him in the MCHG commercials and act as if it was a crime for him to have been in that room. He didn't really have one track on the album outside of a co-production on a song that was more of an interlude (ironically "Verzuz") and vocals on "BBC".

dude would get clapped in any arena, i am missing names too ... Jay got by image (he was always boring and monotone for the time) when competition got gone and more cross-overs started he staid in that mainstream lane while pushing a street fabricated street image.

he has a C+ pen game :hubie:

This man said N.O.R.E would rap circles around Jay-Z

bush this motherfukkin thread immediately
