Jay-Z was not doing stadiums before Kanye/WTT![]()
Lol 4:44 had NO ID all over it. Which is Kanye ish.
Either way, two things can be true. Jay highlighted Ye. Sure. And Kanye kept him relevant. Jay would have fallen all the way off the moment Timbaland started having sex with Justin Timberlake.
No I.D. is Kanye's mentor. No I.D. was integral in Kanye's sound 2008-2013. He co-produced most of Kanye's output 2008-2013.
Kanye did not keep Jay relevant. Kanye had no involvement in American Gangster, Magna Carta, or 4:44. All were successful without Kanye.
