Could Jay-z ever do a record like Poison/What Goes Around?

[N*E*R*D]

Wish Jay had the guts/balls to say something of relevance to the common man.

What do you guys think?

 

[LionofJudah]

No, not at all.

 

[Urbanmiracle]

No chance in camel hell

 

[Vandelay]

He's not that kind of artist.

He has a few records where he speaks on social shyt, but I don't think he can do it as well, and I wouldn't want him to do it in that way anyway.

 

[Primetime21]

No, but there's a few other tracks on that album Jigger can't touch on his best day as well.

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

If he tried, it would be contrived and wack. Jay-Z's biggest flaw has always been he can't effectively rap about anything but Jay-Z.

Nas vs Jay-Z in 2014

 

[SunZoo]

That's like asking nas to ride a beat like "hovi baby", that ain't his forte.

 

[criminology]

Yeah i was going to say nas can't make a song like big pimpin.

But then again I dont think jay can anymore either.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

Jay can't even tell a story right and he's like 14 albums in

 

[Jhoon]

Jay can't even tell a story right and he's like 14 albums in

that's not entirely true. he can tell a story, albeit contrived, however, no he doesn't have an original thought in his repertoire.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I think he could, he's intelligent, unfortunately h doesn't really take it there though.

 

[2stainz]

can Marky Mark make a song like Thriller? Why is this important again?

 

[Redwing80]

Two different lanes, one's a drug dealer and one's a nikka trying to make it to Africa.

It'll just be weird for Jay Z to make songs like that, it's not in his character.
