Let's talk about the deteriorating skill of Jay-Z
- Thread starter Dusty Bake Activate
- Start date
really made this thread.
↓R↑LYB
I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
Even though I agree with the T/S, Nas' skills has deteriorated as well. Listen to Illmatic and listen to Life is Good and Nas' lyrical skills are nowhere close to where they were, and obviously the same goes for Jay-Z. Even though Life is Good was a dope fukking album and is my album of they year, comparing it to his 1st joint is unfair (so is comparing BP3 with RD).
But to get back on topic, honestly, Jay has lost it too. Listening to WTT I was totally unimpressed. To me Jay is one of the dopest lyricists ever, but I think it might be time for the god to either find some inspiration from somewhere (get divorced, have beyonce cheat on him, get shot, etc) or just retire with his legacy.
Nas on LIG spoke on normal shyt that's relatable to a lot of people. Bye Baby and breaking up with your chick, daughters and being a family man, Cherry Wine and finding a chick you can vibe with, etc. Hov's biggest problem is he's gotten too successful. I mean him and his wife together are billionaires. I only make 6 figures and I'm out of touch with the days of when I was broke wondering if it's gonna be ramen noodles or putting gas in my car. So hearing people say shyt like $500 is a lot of money has me like
, even though it wasn't too long ago I was in that same situation.
Hopefully Jay's next album is dope. I wanna be 50 years old still getting excited for a Nas/Jay-Z release.

That was beautiful breh
dp100proof
Rookie
Jay Z is just a lazy bum. for some reason no matter how lyrical a rapper can be, if the new fad is spittin like a 3 year old wrote your rhymes, then thats what ppl do just to keep up with the times and whats supposedly hot smh
pimpineasy
Superstar

jking no i def feel you on that one......and thats why i hate the way how institutional racism has my people down in a ditch thinking about the wrong things sometimes
oh and to the OP
i agree Jay sometimes phones it in.........BP3 actuall aged well to me recently listened to it..................
his verse on run this town tho is cringeworthy
on WTT i thought he came correct on every song
3 kings verse was eh
Like I said countless times, the Jiggaone doens't have the gumption to make an LIG or GKMC type album. 
His motto is 'I'm rich bytch and I tell you how many ways my money expands.'
He and Baby basically rhymes about the same thing.
Just that, Saint Hov is a gazillion time better rapper then Baby could ever dream of. But, I have feeling Baby ONLY cares about money.

And Nas doesnt have the experience or ability to make an RD type album
You just have to laugh at how insecure these Nas fanboys are. I've yet to figure out why Nas has attracted so many losers though. These posters are 30+ years old still acting like little children. *makes obvious agenda-driven thread, gets called out, then cries about people using ad-hominem attacks in an attempt to deflect* 
Just think about how pathetic that is.I don't know how anyone can say 3 kings verse sucked, when it's more memorable than every album of 2012 besides GKMC and Life Is Good .
The flow, the delivery, metaphors, smooth one liners, game spitting was 5/5.
I don't think a lot of cats have the joy in their life to appreciate the classic factor in hiphop of game spitting when the game being spat is on another planet. While some nikkas feel like 
certain sad nikkas feel like 
Fortunately for hiphop these cats are irrelevant

You never heard IWW, but you'd consider those fairytales, right?
Nah IWW aint like RD... Yea Nas for lack of a better term is more "street" introspective in that album but RD where Jay eloquently and intricately speak on the life of a kingpin speaking on the economy, politics, internal and external struggle, and completely dissect the lifestyle of one, never has and can never be made by Nas
