How did this place become so Anti-Jay-Z?

[JustCKing]

Truthfully speaking, any of the 90's legends who have had longevity and are still going strong get hated on here. Some more than others. Nobody's exempt.

 

[Surreal]

Newer generations of rap fans see him as a biter and pretentious

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Uhmm

Coli/SOHH always been a Nas board breh

I don't think Jay won a poll since 2001 on here and SOHH

The ironic thing is the chick that ran the old Sohh was a Nas hater....and she wasn't just some random online poster, she had legit connections in the HipHop world

Because Jay is "The Establishment" now. The young energy of hip hop is gonna always put graffiti on that. If you're born in 2000 you're 22 now, you were 7 what he last dropped a good album. But you were 7, and Soulja Boy spoke to you waayy more than Jay could ever. Look how the Coli shyts on Jordan, as someone who watched him from 87- 98 I would say you must be blind if you don't think he's the undisputed GOAT. But if you're born in 2000 you were 12 when he finally won and you have seen him go to 8 straight finals, you didn't even see MJ you just know his stats and LeBron has better stats. Now look at Drake and Jay

When you're the GOAT in any field you're gonna get hate, simply because you're great. I mean look at how many haters Bron has, combine that with trolling and weird Nas stans who try to nitpick at every single Jay related discussion and there you go.

 

[Sad Bunny]

People only respect him because of his money and his wife. And they overrate his music no matter what. That God Did verse was big mid.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

The way the coli catches feelings over some 1 not liking an artist is wild

 

[Mastamimd]

Jay Z is only hated on here cause of the beef he had with Nas, its corny.

You can honestly say the same about the Nas haters

I don't get it on either side. I fukk with both but if you don't fukk with either I don't see why you'd be in their threads hating...shyts goofy as hell. Whether it's Jay Z or Nas

 

[up in here]

I don’t think it’s just here though. I think there is a growing sentiment across social media of people that don’t like Jay. Him being a major capitalist, making deals with the NFL and not supporting Kaepernick during the protest, cheating on Beyoncé, him and Beyoncé being mega rich and out of touch with the people, joint album with Beyoncé being mediocre and his solo musical output has been lacking too, just him being uncharismatic off the mic

Lately he is just seen as Beyoncé’s husband and as a business man. The thing with being Beyoncé’s man is that her fans love her for being pro-feminist and they see Jay as her rich ugly cheating husband who needs to bow down to queen B. They clown Jay more than Nas fans do.

And the business man shyt, people don’t like business men. They give Nas a pass because most people see him as an investor and Anthony Saleh as the business man.

If Jay was putting out dope music people would overlook most of this shyt, but he ain’t putting out dope music.

I can see why he was criticized for that.

Crypto is iffy for some people, so Jay having classes on that and giving it out would be kinda

It’s free tho. And it was on cash. You can press two buttons to cash out if it. And that’s a free 1000 dollars. No taxes taken out.

He also provided everyone with internet access and everything. They will hate anything

 

[Wild self]

Cause they hate anything with skill, while bigging up Future and Gucci Mane as the GOATs, even over Biggie and Pac

Anything of skill or discipline = wack. That's why those same dudes have bad money management and are simping on the low.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

You'll be aight

 

[DANJ!]

The only thing people love (especially on social media) more than hypin' some shyt up is downplaying and shyttin' on it once it gets too successful/big for them... and given Jay's status in rap, this is why nikkas love to hate him. It's the way it goes with most things tho', which would make sense if the same people weren't simultaneously hypin' some of the most mediocre shyt ever.

Criticizing Hov for giving free financial literacy classes and $1,000 in the projects is ridiculous.

Always found this a funny take since people on here stan rappers so hard that they were crying for years about "artists getting exploited by these cac/jewish record labels".

Then Jay Z pushes Tidal and nikkas is like " ughhh so pretentious, who cares about your streaming checks? "

Now rappers left and right are selling the ownership of their to discography to jewish cac record labels and these follower ass nikkas are all "Genius move. Get that money black man Generational wealth aquired"

People are fake as fukk. Not directed at you or anyone in particular but I'll never forget that shyt when the next "The record labels yoked us " cycle starts in a decade

It was so funny when ppl across the internet got mad that he sold Tidal. Making that streaming service a joke for years(Spotify and Apple probably loved that) and then crying about him selling it was crazy
