what the fukk are you talkin' bout, bruh?
they better hustlers at their shyt than anythin' else
both have had timin' on their side and the lack of any real competition when they climbed the ladder of success has helped them tremendously
they got over easy and because they've kept their noses cleaned and their circles tight, they've "won" in terms of success, that's all
but there's a handful of better mcs than jay
scarface is better
nas is better
ice cube was better
biggie was better
pac was better
ghostface was better
dj quik is better
same with beyonce
toni braxton can still out sing beyonce
teedra moses can too
goapele
lalah hathaway better
janet jackson was better
whitney takes a shyt on beyonce's career
mariah in her prime took a shyt on beyonce's career too
and before you come back with "but their singles ain't all over the radio"... yeah, true but beyonce got a money makin' machine backin' her, those singers don't. point bein', they don't have the promotion beyonce does. it's all about a machine and a label havin' your back and fundin' your shyt that makes it easier to get yo shyt out there and be promoted all across the board and beyonce has just that. now hard work plays apart too but if you got that machine aka label backin' you, it's a lot easier to get yo shyt out their among people all over than if you doin' it on yo own as an indie artist
