Jay-Z the same age as these 80s rappers. Why didn't Jay make it in the 80s?

[NvrCMyNut]

BIG invented the drug dealer/player/flashy life style shyt that NY niqqas in general were trying to be on back then?



Jay was on that BEFORE he became big. You niqqas in here hate dude so much you're now making BIG the inventor of drug dealer/player/flashy shyt as if BIG was the only drug dealer that was an MC.

shyt......I was at the Culture Club in Brooklyn in 93 when Jigga, Olga (Foxy) and my man KP (RIP) was on stage together. Two of them on that stage were drug dealers spitting that drug dealer/player/flashy life style shyt. One of them made it big while the other MC was stuck trafficing between ATL and NYC before dying of cancer.

You niqqas in here try too hard man. Niqqas BEEN on that shyt, but here you are trying to say BIG invented that steez!!!

I'm a huge Jay-z fan but it's obvious that he switched his whole style after that drug dealer shyt got poppin. He was on some hiphop rapping to be rapping shyt for YEARS.





^ this is the ONLY track where he references drug dealing and dude has tones of material recorded 88-93

Ross is did the same shyt come out later so people lump you in with the younger nikkas

Having years in hip hop is what makes you old. Not actually age.


Kanye West is like 5 years older than TI, but most would call TI the one out of the two. N thats jus because he hit his prime earlier than Ye

it's the fickleness of the fans once a rapper has been around too long they get bored with them and be like

 

[Fani Willis fan]

Jay has always been about striking when the coast is clear.

Thats why he has 12 number one albums. He comes out at the right time.

It's not very smart to spit drug raps when you are actually selling drugs. It might impress you birds but anyone with a semi functioning brain could understand that.

Jay didn't rap about his life style, he was rapping about how nice he was at rapping like a lot of rappers did back then. You were expecting him to shout out all his friends, all the locations, the purity of the snow and shyt

Why do people keep sayin ish like if Big didnt die or Pac didnt... U guys kno its room for other artist to be successful. Its not a cap on great/popular artists. Wu ,Mase Snoop & Nas were way popular than Jay when Big died. So how did a artist that everyone seems was just a afterthought in 96 get the throne so quick? Ill tell u why he was better than everyone else thats why.

It's funny they act as if BTNH didn't sell as much as MATW and R2D combined. They act the as if Outkast didn't do double, that Fugees didn't move what? 6-7 mill? Nas didn't do double, Snoop, Warren G, LL, Cube, Busta and a bunch of other rappers. It was all Pac and Big .

How old are you?

That nikka used to drop an album every summer at the same damn time.

 

[Robbie3000]

Jay was not a first rounder. He wasn't like Rakim, Kane, Nasor Big who were obvious first round picks.

Jay was like Brady, barely snuck in the league, but killed it when got in.

 

[Renegade47]

Def Jam bought copies to get #1 on the charts. The OutKast albums eventually outsold the Jay-Z albums.
