all jay z jokes aside, in reality, jay z is top 5 of all time. no matter what era

[I love Latina women]

bruh helped carry hip hop on his back as far as the mainstream went for a long time and not in a pop way, but in a true to the essence of hip hop kind of way

i give jay z a hard time sometimes but in reality, he's a top 5 mc of all time and one of my favorite mcs

Bro I've been listening to RD all week and I have to agree with you. I've also been thinking about how maybe because Jay got a late start since he was 27 i think when RD dropped it worked in his favor. His music came off more thought out and mature.

Phife, heavy d are both younger than him and was popping at an early age. Rakim and jay are around the same age I think. KRS isn't far from him.

Nas is the only rapper that a lot of people are checking and anticipating a record from from that age.

But I'll give him top 3. He has 2 certified classics though I feel it's more than that cause the black album is my personal classic along with American Gangster.

William H the all time great who fukked the most hoes put of new York state.

Jay Z was pound for pound the best rapper in the world from i'd say 1996 to 1999. He had NYC on LOCKDOWN. I miss Ice water in the veins Jay but you can't maintain that level of inhumane behavior for too long.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

He's not even top 20

 

[Prince Cairo]

The thing about Jay Z is he's quickly approaching that point where he's been average or even bad for longer than he's been good.

When that happens, sometimes you need to make some room for others who are putting out great music as well.
