Winter of 2013:

Justin Timberlake makes his solo return to music in almost over half a decade with a new single Suit & Tie. The single oddly enough features one of the worst and most unnecessary Jay verses in memory. The verse is so bad it gets cut out at some radio stations. The two POP stars soon announce a tour. The results will keep Jay name buzzing. Who'd thought?


But we seen this from Jigga recently.




Fall of 2007: Huge buzz surrounds a mob film, starring the legendary Denzel Washington based on the life of Frank Lucas called American Gangster. Jay-Z decides to use the film as "motivation", dropping his new album with the same title. Forces a collab with his "new heir" Lil' Wayne at the peak of his success. dikk rides Frank Whites movie and in the same breathe takes shots at him calling him a snitch. Frank soon sons Jay telling him to keep his month shut. Jigga later apologizes. :lolbron:


Summer of 2008: Hot 97 summer jam concert. Jay debuts his new single for BP3 "Jocking Jay-z". It overwhelmingly flops and plans for the BP3 get scrapped :ufdup:



2009:

At the height of its popularity Jay drops a single called Death Of Autotune only to have it on his very own album. In the horrible track reminder. :skip:

BP3 drops and Jay is hanging on the coattails of Rihanna and Yeezy to help his album pop. Than gets murdered on his own shyt by Alicia Keys on that Broadway musical jump off "Empire State of Mind". Collabs with Drake at peak of his early career in the horrid track Off That..BP3 ended up being one of the worst albums in his career. :huhldup:


Summer of 2011: Jay-z decides to team up with Kanye West at the height of his popularity to drop WTT. Same dikk ryding Jigga. New results. Unlike BP3 the album was dope. :salute:

Kelly was burning hot from 93 to 2004, but Jay was burning burning hot as well.
As the title best of both worlds, genius.

You wanna add all the other people Jay-z has done tours with?
And Kanye in 2010 was in the lowest point of his "buzz" since his debut album, not to mention that Jay working with Kanye is like Nas working with Jungle or Quan or whoever calls him their big brother. Eminem is hot every year, and usually you do a tour AFTER your album to support it. Jay sells out shows in seconds, do you really, really think he needs anyone to sell out a show in New York?

50 cent is the only one who Jay worked with, out of no affiliation or anything just by heat.
But if one thinks deeper, it was a Jay-z/Steve Stout marketing trick to get people to buy their sneakers.


And if you wanna mention Nas and just say "ahh he was hot".
No ID has never been hotter than now, Puff was at his hottest in 98, DMX too, Luda in 03, Black Eyed Peas in 06, Timbo, Kanye, Alicia Keys all these people were in their peak level when Nas worked with them and on and these people don't even seems like they're Nas friends nor proteges.

Jay will either work with you if you are hot OR dope, it wouldn't make sense in any other case.

Jay sees himself as the best, so its only right he aligns himself with whoever else is the best at that point in time, it makes business sense, and the energy of the "hot" artist motivates him to continue being competitive.

Can't hate on Hov for playing chess, unless he makes another "Ghetto Techno"p::scusthov:

Obviously Nas can't go on tour with the people Jay goes on tour with, cause he would be opening, while Jay has people who sell more than Nas opening for him (like Jeezy who came of a platinum album and still was the opening act).

So to compare Jay-z and Nas does not make sense in any field except emceeing/strictly music related matters..
