Jay only struggles because he is a skills morph.
Which means he really has no technical base as an artist.
The level of technical prowess he was able piggyback off of, is no longer available to him.
In the form of the jaz's, sauce money's, Chris, beanie.
shyt even, lupe's technical base is no longer available to him to piggyback of.
Which is why his loss of skill is so profound.
If you are a real elite emcee historically,...
Your skill base matures and is always present.
Since, jay's skillbase is that fu-schnick bs,...
Plus, he never really developed his own that fit the sonic landscape like he was supposed to do.
You get the fall off in skill that made him garner acclaim or get note.
The real goat candidates like the krs, ra, g rap's never lose their technical base.
The fraud goat candidates easily show they are no longer proficient with their skillbase that brought them acclaim.
Jay and weezy will never assail back to the level of rhyming and technical prowess they exhibited because they are skill morphs and biters. In the case of weezy,...
Weezy is a gw voice over talent.
So, he never had a technical base.
Plus, the technical base that brought him acclaim has to he paid for.
Or, was lost administratively and probably will never be re-acquired.
As ymcmb/cmr, is a cop&blow based label that has a track record of never really operating in good faith.
