If Jay-Z’s career started in 2006 would he even be top 25-30 all-time?

Weird thread because:

1. Most rappers careers don't last as long as Jay's

2. You're choosing to penalize him (not counting all his earlier shyt) for having a long career.

Fred.

Truth. This here.

It's a hate thread. Trying to discount classic work with a fake timeline to minimize a legacy full of classic work and albums. Mad corny. Just making up new ways to hate on that man. People are hilarious.

Next, they'll say if we take Mike's last three seasons playing in the league, out of the 15 he played, would he still be the GOAT or Top 5. GTFOH!

Not analogous. We’re talking 17 years not a little 3 year span when mikes athleticism was long gone. Your example would be right if I said Jay’s Biden years or something when he’s got dementia. Dementia would be the equivalent of Mike’s body breaking down and expecting jay to rap like he’s ‘97 Hov or Mike to ball like it’s ‘92 again.

But it didn't... AG and 444 are good enough to be classics in this era, and he had big songs on BP3 and MCHG. He would definitely still be mentioned.

Idk if that's a fair comparison, because by 06 rap had stopped being his main focal point.
