I have to remind myself that at Jay-Z's height, he was almost in his 30s. Its almost unfair

I mean...Reasonable Doubt came out in 1996...dude was like 25/26.

Can you imagine the type of shyt a 25/26 year old would be spitting compared to a bratty 18 year old?

Now, I don't mean to say anything against younger artists and we know young artists that dropped amazing projects in their late teens like Nas were bad artists or even unable to compete...but for the sake of perspective, does Jay's age take away from his skill and perceived maturity?

He's still the GOAT to me...but it makes you wonder

Drake, Kanye, 50 n em all got on around similar ages.

Ain't nothing special bout that age range

If you wanna imagine just listen to Paid In Full. Rakim is the same age as Jay-Z and came out an entire decade before Reasonable Doubt dropped.

Just think about it, Jay was going on 27 when his debut dropped.

Pac was 25 when he died.


Pac is the true goat in this current sector of history...the last 20-25 years

27....and so was 50s debut at 27

No breaking when you are older is better because.... who wants to be flabby and s!ck by 24 ?

thought u were saying something about his actual height

which is a valid point at 6'2" 6'3" he has greater power and confidence than a lil nikka like nazz
