So the fact he's good at marketing and business he's no longer a hip hop artist? Do you honestly think people will continue checking for his music if they didn't deem it to be good? Stop being a dumb fakkit. :scusthov:

Magna Carta is the only album that felt like just a marketing attempt to me, even Bluepirint 3 I think there was artistry there mixed in with some marketing motivated moves.

Marketing or not, he's still a hip-hop artist. Why? Because he still makes hip-hop music :gladbron:

Was Magna Carta his best work? Not at all. But it's still better than most of the rap dropping these days. Dude still has bars, still has concepts, still has great production. MCHG is probably 3.5 stars out of 5 - far from a classic, but it's still hip-hop.

:comeon: at the "it's not hip-hop since I don't like it" route

If you look at the Magna Carter commercials that infested youtube you'd see the amount of budget Jay put on the marketing campaign, and that deal with Samsung.
So much effort was put into advertising.
You listen to what Jay was saying on the web commercials, he was trying to sound so enthusiastic and philosophical.
Then the album came out and straight up sucked!!!!
Horrible!

Now look at Picasso baby the video, look how he talks in the beginning?
Oh small space there's more feeling bla bla bla, very creative and well done "rap" video, even pioneering in fact.
But the song just straight sucksssssss...

JayZ has now completely turned into a marketer, a big time corporate man.
He's no longer a hip hop artist

I'm just saying, it is what it is
And as far was Jay goes, it's no lyrical or mic effort, it's all about budgeting, exec meetings and advertising.

Now grow up and stop being stans of a business person!

jay got a few ounces of life in him left i think. just he tries 2 dumb down his flow now and shyt sounds really bad. you on point with the marketing angle cant lie . But really the whole rap game is this now. the powers that be just see numbers even jay z is a pawn in this chess game.

Jay-Z's the type of nikka that bends over, spreads his buttcheeks and gets fukk in the ass by his masters while wrapping his fat lips around Satan's cock.... on a daily basis.
