It was this and getting with Beyoncé that saved him. He benefitted from that greatly. It wasn't looking good for Jigga in 02Jay got the GOAT PR team, they almost scrubbed that 2002 run from memory. His stans can say what they want but he took a major L in the battle and was desperate after. Trying to chase hits and he dropped that dud with R. Kelly. BP2 was widely seen as his worst album to that point and had those lame hit pop pandering singles. The retirement announcement and dropping the legitimately dope TBA saved him
