HOW IS JAY-Z A LEGEND AND NOT 50CENT

[Houston911]

I cant tell if this is a serious thread or not

 

[ManBearPig]

reasonable doubt was just a nice album in 96.

the blueprint dropped in the shytty era of ny so it sounded better than it was. the production was supreme clientele watered down/mainstream accessible.

The blueprint was just a classic album. Who gives a fukk when it released and it barely had surpreme clientele elements.

I been crushing the buildings since Izod socks
I'm so independent, shyt I might buy Koch
I might not stop, places to cop
76 floors you can call me the Doc...

Inspired by Basquiat, my chariots of fire
Everybody took shots hit my body up I'm tired
Build me up, break me down, to build me up again
They like Hov we need you back so we can kill your ass again
Hov got flow though he's no Big and Pac but he's close
How I'm supposed to win they got me fighting ghosts.....

Same sword they knight you they gone good night you with
shyt that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael.

See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and it's outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Ceasar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed prepare to be crucified
Hmm, media meddles, nikkas sue you you settle
Every step you take they remind you, you ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now
Now the question is is to have had and lost
Better than not having at... man.

Everybody want to be the king til shots ring
You laying in the balcony with holes in your dream
Or you Malcolm Xed out getting distracted by screams
Everybody get your hands off my jeans!
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed
Uh, like you work that hard to stay the same
Uh, game stayed the same, the name changed
So it's best for those to not overdose on being famous
Most kings get driven so insane
That they try to hit the same vein that Kurt Cobain did
New dangers, so strangers invited to the inner sanctum of your chambers
Low chained them, the enemy's approaching so raise your draw bridge and
drown him in the moat
In the spirit I'm evoking kurt with...(unintelligible)

Everybody screaming they want the old Hov
But the new and improved Hov hit like Albert Pujols
Everybody wanna hear me talk that money like Phil Rizzuto
But my mind is on Pluto
Bills that I do fold I now invest
on trying to find some loopholes in the IRS
So where I used to have a few hoes I am just
Concentrating on making a new Hov through sex
I've awaken just to try to school those putos
Trying to follow in my shoes with jewels-froze
Better adhere to this text 'fore you go
Broke spending more than you accrued on silly baguettes
I know silly begets, silly you learn on your own
At least my conscience is clear I'm no longer steering you wrong
Ain't nothing wrong with baguettes after you get a home
Take care of your home, you can go back and um....

I'm getting courted by the bosses, the Edgars and Doug Morrises-sss
Jimmy I and Lyor's-sss
Gotta be more than choruses-sss
They respecting my mind now, just a matter of time now
Operation take over corporate
Make Oval offices-sss
Then take over all of it
Please may these words be recorded
To serve as testimony that I saw it all before it
Came to fruition, sort of a premonition
Uh, uncontrollable hustler's ambition
Alias superstitition like Stevie,
The writing's on the wall like my lady, right BB?
Saw it all before so they all thought I was crazy
Maybe, like a fox I'm cagey
Ah, ah, the more successful, the more stressful
The more and more I transform to Gordan Gekko
In the race to a billion, got my face to the ceiling
Got my knees on the floor, please Lord forgive him
Has he lost his religion, is the greed gonna get him?
He's having heaven on earth, will his wings still fit him?
I got the Forbes on my living room floor
And I'm so dope to the core, fukker I want more
Time's most influential was impressive
Especially since I wasn't in the artist's section
Had me with the builders and the titans
Had me right with Rupert Murdoch
The billionaire boys and some dudes you never heard of
Word up on Madison Ave is I'm a cash cow
Word down on Wall St. homie you get the cash out
IPO Hov no need for reverse merger
The boy money talk no need to converse further
The baby blue Maybach like I own Gerber
Boardroom I'm lifting your skirt up
The corporate take ....nikka

 

[Grifter]

Allegedly he can sell water to a well/whale.

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

Only thing Jay Z is influencing is broke delusional nikkas who think they finna follow his path to success.



either you're delusional or from NY

Only lame no game, no swag, materialistic wannabe ass nikkas would take Jay fukking Z's lyrics as gospel.

These NY'ers man I tell you.

@FreshAIG
You think down south we was wearing $300 ice berg shirts? Someone said they sold as high as $1000.
Man we was wearing a pair of dikkie's, a t-shirt and some chuck Taylors in Dallas. Whole outfit cost less than $100. lol
NY then and now is one of the wealthiest places on earth. Jay could never influence us on that level. Being flashy wasn't how we got down anywhere. If you was flashy in New Orleans you could get kilt real quick. Even if you had it you better pretend like you didn't.

 

[Mac Casper]

he just has 10 number one albums maybe now 11

I like Jay Z, but the way y'all put him on a pedestal is crazy.

He has flaws.

And he hasn't made a dope solo record in years. Y'all keep talking like he been on top forever...that nikka been cold for awhile now.

He is damn-near irrelevant.

All the business shyt is cool, but he is waaaaay past his prime and fukked his legendary status up by making terrible music these last couple years.

I don't dikkride nikkas who ain't paying me so you can keep defending him all you want it ain't changing my opinion. Half you nikkas got some kind of bias anyway.

You're not older than 20. At most.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

The nikka won a Grammy and sold 5 million albums in 1999 but he was a nobody right?

right because the Grammy is an indicator of hip hop success and relevancy

 

[JMurder]

How many reports have been relevant for twenty years?

That alone. Forget how successful he's been

Jay and LL... Maybe Nas. That's it

 

[Paradise50]

Grammy Family freestyle


Had the Internet going crazy

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

7 straight summer's Jay held it down with number 1 records we all rocked out to.... I'm pretty sure that's a big part of it

 

[blackslash]

big caps and all!!!

i think jay is dope, but.....
camel warriors about to come devour op, especially the retarded one that calls jay z the flow master and lyrical savior or something like that!!!

he is the flow god u dumbfukk ass bytch nikka

Jay has better flows than Biggie, certainly more of them.
