Also I don't understand why these people who used to shyt on these non-hiphop pop cac writers for calling Jay and Kanye the kings of entertainment, kings of america, best rappers ever etc..
Now quote their word like it's one of Einsteins laws given that the word is negative.

To illustrate the readers of that blog you are quoting.
This has most likes and zero dislikes
Out of ideas? That's a good joke. There has never been a single original idea generated by Rap since Blondie did the first rap-song 35 years ago. JZ and Kanye are amazed by their own egos. The lack of reading ability really affects their ability to form complete sentences. They should both stick with what the street kids do best - dealing hard drugs, beating women and playing the race card. Originality to these guys represents hard work and creative thinking. Brain power is not associated with a lack if self control. These guys belong in the gutter.

The whole post was stupid.
1. Jay-z never put out a video for charity, he put it out to earn bread.
2. Jay-z does not direct videos, I don't know any 20+ year rapper or musician in modern times who hasn't had a video inspired by something non-musical.
3. Songs like Black skinheads, New Slaves, I am a god (which obviously no cac understands), Holy my liquor, Blood on the leaves is stronger and deeper or just as strong as any Kanye West written bars. It's also about half the album.

4. I don't see how "Samsung's money" got the 16 year old girl. She would pay money to produce for Jay-z.
I don't see how Samsungs money did anything besides give him an NBA finals commercial. A final which was watched by less people than his performance at for example The Grammy's.
5. Jay and Kanye are too huge now, too rich now, too arrogant, too "fukk any cac who has a problem with me or mines", too influential and plenty of cacs are mad as fukk. These are the same cacs that said BP3 was a great album and shyt like that.

They just are that far detached from the rest of the world. How many regular people can relate to having an "other other Benz"? Look at College Dropout content and you're good to go.

Kanye got overly artistic but the other side of that is he's not relateable anymore either due to his riches and/or influences. No more hunger and whatnot.

Jay-Z, Drake and Kanye are gatekeepers to the mainstream.. They take everything that was "cool" or progressive in the underground 18 months earlier and present it to middle America...

Which is why they make songs like HAM long after the term had run its course.. Or how they have soccer moms saying "CRAY" while crediting them and not knowing it was birthed by Philly hoodrats...

At the end of the day their core fanbase is made up of squares.. And since most of America are squares it results in extreme popularity..

So now producers get to determine whats dope and whats not, who let these backseat motherfukkas think they can ride in the front and think they can adjust the windows and radios and shyt... sit in the back with your seat belt on and shut the fukk up..

There's a reason Jay & Ye been around for all these years, they driving the car.. now all these backseat fakkits think they too can drive the car.. Nah sit the fukk down and enjoy the road trip...

I think at this point, Jay and Kanye just kind of help bring things to the mainstream. They make certain sounds and genres acceptable to hip-hop, they'll get that pass a lot of times. When that Yeezus dropped I saw multiple people talking about how they didn't like it on the first run but trusted Kanye and kept giving the album a shot. I'll admit on the first listen it didn't sound that good cause I was expecting a Kanye West MBDTF type of album but got something totally different. Kept listening cause I knew there was probably more to it than just a one time listen.

If a new rapper, with the internet hype, classic mixtapes, and a built fanbase, did something totally different on his debut everyone would pan it and never even give it a chance. Kanye and Jay can take those types of risk cause they have a discography that speaks for itself. You know they're good so you'll give them the benefit of the doubt and at least listen a few times before passing judgement.
