jay is a great business man and a decent mc.

musically he just plays it safe for the most part. its light and doesnt have alot of substance so its easy to just rock to it without thinking too much. he keeps it street enough to appear "hood" but he doesnt go so hard as to put off casual listeners.

jay is basically the safe negro that non-blacks can agree on. it was will smith, then it was kanye, now its jay.

thats some deep posting right there breh

I am totally on other side of this issue.

How can you be a fan of hiphop and not like Jay z. His DNA is in everybody's music.

obviously threadstarter misses the point of jay-z. u really think a nikka worth 500 million with beyonce as his wife is gonna keep makin hood music 4 u and ur buddies to listen to? jay-z is a powerhouse, he makes music that is universal now, catch on. He doesnt have 2 be played in your broke down honda civic with u and your gang of no job havin, weed smokin friends to listen to, if u dont like his music hes still gonna be worth half a billion and be ok. hes been in the game almost 20 years he doesnt need your approval at this point. threadstarter lost.

i just don't know anyone that listens to this dude, which leaves me wondering how he's so relevant. nobody i ride with likes this nikka's music. they think it's trash. it IS trash, obviously. and i'm trying to figure out who is buying his shyt. when is the last good album this dude dropped? let me know. only album of his i really fukk with is the black album.shyt's crack. beyond that? all of his shyt is overrated, including his lyricism. i just never understood the appeal, and i almost find myself wondering if the secret society rumors are correct, because the nikka is bigger than his talent would lead you to think he's deserving of.

yea, i know plenty of talentless nikkas make it big in music, but he's branching off to other ventures, breaking bread with warren buffet, and i'm sitting here looking like: :dwillhuh:

How you gonna call him trash and then say the black album is crack.

:what:

I don't really fukk with Jay at all, but i couldn't let this slide brehs

You wish Jay-z had better production? :stopitslime:
WTT was the best produced album of 2011 according to a lot of people and AG the best produced album of 07 according to just as many.
Different production maybe, but better?

What do you mean with stronger delivery though? Jay has had a laid-back flow since Blueprint. Do you mean his 99 delivery like on Murdergram?

Yeah, his delivery back then was better.
