Didn't Dipset influence that?

Jay Z being the reason why Kanye got the Time Magazine cover below:

^^^ Kanye became one of the few Hip Hop artists on a Time cover. Jay Z was supposed to be on this cover, but he pushed for Kanye to be on it instead. This has been forgotten and the narrative that is pushed is that Jay did nothing to help Kanye.

Damn. Hitler also had a time cover.
