Jay-Z shouting out Playboy Carti = #1 reason why rap is in the state it is in

[CrimsonTider]

You saying he can't compete with others, and that he has to different things to drum up anticipation is your opinion though.

Drake shouts out new rappers, features on or completely takes their bubbling songs for himself all the time, but I guarantee you wouldn't classify that as drumming up anticipation for his releases

Well that's normal for rappers that are in demand.

Feature work and being on the hottest songs.

Jay z did it in his prime and so does everyone else

Why do you folk love lying

Jay-Z - Chart history | Billboard
Jay Z

DOA was not a flop in any sense

Peak position 24and was on the charts for 7 weeks

Is this what you are linking me to

Trying to be a guardian was exactly was he was doing when he made DOA and it didn't even work

I agree that is what he was trying to come of as but it fell flat because

1. There has and never will be gate keepers in rap

2. During Jays career he has always cosigned and promoted whatever was gaining momentum in the game... this why I said it was Publicity stunt

 

[DontEemTry]

Since 96 this nikka Hov still making nikkas mad.

Gotta respect it.

 

[CrimsonTider]

By doing that he's pandering to a different audience. Its classic Jay. You know you aren't checking for new Jay material but you see his and Carti's name in the same title and you had to say something.

Ehh, I'm a Jay Stan so I'm checking for the album even tho I'm not excited for it

The people that are making Carti popular won't check for Jay z cause his music and flow may as well be Run DMC to them

AND a Grammy

That's top 40 on the pop charts on a double plat album

How is that a flop again?

At one point DJs used to be the gatekeepers becuz they were the ones who actually broke new records on the radio and in the clubs. But radio programming took away a lot of these privileges. Plus with the internet people can skip the radio altogether

If Playboy Carti was repping Nostrand avenue in Brooklyn

Or any random block in NYC

I Doubt this thread would even be made much less an issue...

None of y'all psuedo hip hop purists complained when Designer with his non rapping azz was buzzing hard....



Jay z does it for the culture

The culture of the music biz

 

[RAW_SPK]

How gay are yall for being mad at another grown man's opinion? Especially one that dont know yall exist....?

[Ineedmoney504]

This is a stupid ass fukk thread. I'm just negging and ins keep it moving.

Jay names 100+ rappers who had a impact on him the night that he gets inducted into the writers hof and we gonna pick out 1 of them to criticize and say that's what's wrong wit hip hop even tho he shouted out a 100 legends in the process.

These hov shout outs was huge, playboi carti shout out Came at the tail end of this shyt, nikkaz think jay using his name to get publicity, u dudes are fukking idiots.

[thatrapsfan]

Who is surprised by this? Jay has always been that old man at the club trying to stay on top of trends. Its pathetic


This dude is old enough to be a grandfather and you expect me to believe Carti and Yachty inspire him? mjlol:

"Shout out to Maya Angelou. Shout out to Kim Kardashian" - A rapper

"Y'all bitter nikkas is bitter, just cause he shouted out Kim K dont mean it's gonna effect Maya Angelou's money, there's room for both!!" - Rap fans

Giving talentless people with no skills "room" or a lane or a shout out for any reason is dumb, it's undeserved, why is Jay-z saluting legends and name dropping Playboi Carti? Think about that. Oh, Playboi Carti's song is on the commercial for Tidal, got it. Disgusting

Nah breh this is exactly like Big Daddy Kane cosigning Jay in the early 90s

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

All this from a tweet?

Y'all gonna kill yaself next week

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Here's the catch...Jay owns what he owns but nothing substantial enough to stop a movement. Nowadays if you in the game it's because your fan base put you there a bunch of 17 year olds could give a fk what jigga likes or doesn't like. That IG, Youtube, twitter and SoundCloud poppin then that deal is a comin. Jay has two options at that point...either get in line or face backlash from youngn's looming for something old to hate and potentially lose out on new fans

making people feel good through music is a talent though. just cause he's not lyrical doesn't mean he's not talented. i fukk w young boy,
