how can you even debate Jay-z isn't the best rapper from NYC ever?

[M617]

if you step back for a second and listen to the amount of good music Jay-z has put out and even low key put out its actually amazing. he has been in the game so much longer than Biggie for example and has put out so much better material from girl songs to street songs to rich man songs to feel good songs. people mention rappers like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane or whoever....gag me with a fukking spoon those guys music are outdated and never came with success because overall it was basic stoop NYC music only people from there could like

i am no jay-z stan but after listening to Whoo kid spin his mix on jay-z and then me stepping back to think about all the jay-z songs ive heard in my life i really do appreciate him. easily one of the best rappers ever and by far the best from NYC even shyts on NAS

[Durrbrowski]

Amen. Not one nikka is even close to Hov's success and relevance besides Kanye...and that nikka grew up listening to Hov like we all did

all of Wu Tang is what I was getting at, but I was exaggerating.


Id say Raekwon, Ghostface, GZA, are better though

Jay Z isnt the the most amazing rapper ever

 

[cashews]

Eh, I'm a big Jay fan, but I'd still put Nas and Ghostface above him.

too each is own but i think Wu-tang is trash IMO. other than like 3 songs from them all their tracks today in 2013 are skippable. if im cruising with someone to the bar and the put on some Wu-tang im getting out of the car, listening to my iphone of better shyt close to my ear and walking my ass to where i was going

ghostface has a gay son and dieabeeties, cant really take that serious. although that song he has with ne-yo from a few years ago is nice

 

[Blackout]

Nas is better

 

[the rhyme king]

g rap big daddy kane krs-one rakim wu tang big l big punisher jadakiss and styles p.

are all better lyrically imo.

Dominating in the worst era of NYC rap does not a king make.

Truth.

I cant respect Jay Z because after Reasonable Doubt he never really stood for anything as an artist. Kind of just went along with the trends.
