@ 50 stans saying jay retired because of 50. right 

jay quit cause of 50
it was obvious i made a thread about it but everyone said i was lameI never realized this until now and until this thread.
I finally put 2 and 2 together and it makes sense now.

its not like he didnt go run a record company for a few years.
or release 2 classics during 50s period of relevancy (Black album and AG-which came out a few months after curtis)
hov's been relevant since we were teenagers. 50 was barely relevant for the same amount of time as it takes to graduate high school

This is straight facts and I BEEN tellin people this.
When Jay Z went through that "retirement" phase that was cause of 50.
Black Album dropped like 9 months after GRODT and that song "Threat" was biting 50's style from "Heat"
Threat wasn't "MILES" ahead of Heat lyricallyThreat is lyrically MILES ahead of heat though, lets not act like 50 was the first to make a song about shooting and killing people.

But Heat felt more real, because of 50's background. What gave Jay Z the right to make a song like that, that deep into his career
