Yeah, Jay can take all the pics with Warren Buffet that he wants, it's all for show. I remember he said "Timberlands, we off that", next thing you know, he's out wearing black Timbos. Had a song called "Jockin' Jay-Z" all while he was jocking Yeezy. Shawn just wants to be in the tabloids & shyt.I'd even say that Cam has had a bigger influence on hiphop and mainstream culture than Jay, who has constantly needed others to boost and shield himself as well as keep him relevant (remember when Lupe first came out? how about dikkriding Drake when Andre 3000 wouldn't even give him a damn verse). The swag, the lingo, the sense of style, the Diplomat movement which was the biggest thing out for quite a while, the hilarious Bill O'Reily segment that spawned 'u mad?' has become bigger than anything that Jay has done or has 'claimed' to have done outside of music and slanging shytty vodka - all of that shyt is at the discretion of his business manager John Meneilly so don't even start with that 'business acumen' bullshytI could keep going but best believe I see through all of that shyt.

Also, people seem to conveniently ignore the fact that Cam'ron would be in a much higher position than he is now had Jay not basically sabotaged his career like a little bytch.
all you care about is multies. you don't care about how potent the rhyme is, imagery, concepts, etc. show me something from cam thats can i live level.
basically i can be better than jay if i say...
"i'm a pitiful cynical original criminal in the physical
literal critical visuals from a thug with a clique, political and indivisable"
... just because of the multies
anybody can do multies
honed lyricism >>>>>>>> multies
jay can "multi" with the best of them when he wants to anyway.
no i don't multis are only apart of rhyming but that is one of the reasons why he is better don't get mad at me because jay suck when it comes to multi's
lol, can i live has lots of "multies"
Jay-Z fathered a good portion of the punchline slick talking multi spitting hustler type clone rappers you see today.
So did cam for the record, there's a whole thread dedicated to one of his doppelgangers who also happened to lift certain aspects of Jay-Z's style for that matter.
