Remember when Jay Z was still trying to act like he is powerful enough to kill trends?

[Another Man]

yup

and more importantly, i gotta deduct points for all the backdoor political chit he pulled that hindered the game.

ESPECIALLY the shyt he pulled during his beef with Cam

 

[The Fire]

killed cristal

yea.

people wonder why the east coast fell off. its because of washed rappers like jay-z, 50 cent, etc blocking dudes out the game so they can stay on top while making lackluster music while the real hot chit is relegated to indie or underground.

we're still suffering from that to this day. hip-hop as a whole died in large part because of this too.

All day in the def jam offices...smdh

He didn't kill autotune, but definitely killed T-Pains career.

How many times is this thread going to get made?

t pain hasn't had a hit since

Yes he has.
DOA came out in 2009.

T-pain had a top 10 hit on billboard (not the R&B and hip hop chart, the MAIN billboard 100 chart) in 2011, and another platinum single in 2013.

This is exactly what this thread is about, yall give Jay too much credit.
