call someone the goat and only list one quality about that person that involves mic skills, brehs

make sure yall vote with a clear head, consider the following:

1.) biggest mogul in hip hop (probably ever)

the fukk does this have to do with his rapping skill?

2.) biggest commercial presence throughout his career (starting from 96...almost 10 years on top)

this actually has something to do with rapping

3.) co-founder of one of the most successful hip hop labels

the fukk does this have to do with his rapping skill?

there will NEVER be a consensus GOAT.

i don't mind the discussion but,
just state that jay is your favourite and move on.

nas is my GOAT and there is no way you'll convince me otherwise and vice versa.

Jayz is 2nd to only Nas to me when it comes to the GOAT convo. U can't chink up his whole catalogue because of a few recent albums. The dude has arguably 4 classics. Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, American Gangster. He has surpassed BIG who used to be my GOAT but Nas and Jay at or near 20 years in the game and BIG only had 3, jus not enough music.

Jay is up there (top 5-10) IMO, but overrated as an MC. due to his supreme business skills and incredible success.

Every time I listen to Moment of Clarity, it makes me mad at Jay as a Hip Hop fan. Still respect him on a business level tho.

And Does anybody remember people arguing all day about who's the best MC's Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas, before Jay-z said it?


I don't.....

Its obvious Jay has no respect for his fans. In a way I respect that. But he made good on his promise as his music nosedived after TBA.

yeah...just check the stats. Of course dude been on cruise control for the last 3-4 years but overall who's fukking with his pedigree as a whole. They're are dudes that are better in certain aspects but across the board, nobody fukking with what he's done. I will never understand the Nas is the goat shyt.Dude career is just marred in mediocrity in respect to the talent he has. Lets be really real. He can rap his ass off, but he just doesn't transcend like Jay does.
