:wow: Jay would still be the most powerful black man in the music industry while being married to Rihanna.

:wow: People forget how good of a CEO he was at Def Jam.
He did a great job bringing in new talent and equal on in pissing off at established artist.:mjgrin:

they were mad at def jam tho. directing the hate at :scusthov:

That's the GOAT but lets be real they wouldnt give a fukk about him :mjcry:


Yall remember at the So So Def 15/20 anniversary concert, JD asked Hov to spit Jigga What Jigga Who and take it back to the old school. He tried to spit the verse twice and the crowd was dead :sadbron: before he launched off into his verse off Clique which got the crowd :ooh::krs::lawd:

He definitely piggybacked off Kanye/Rihanna/Beyonce to keep himself relevant with younger audiences but lets not act like when they weren't as big he didnt help them out with features :usure:


Mutually beneficial relationships "ROC Family first, we never change mayne" :mjcry:

Damn some of ya'll gotta get the hate out of your heart. Ya'll saying he dikkrode people's careers that he made? I think Hov would have been just fine without Beyonce. He established the careers of Kanye, Rihanna, and JCole. Dude is probably the smartest nikka in rap history.

He wouldn’t be the big celebrity he is now.

Still would be the rap icon and businessman

Kanye needed Jay more than Jay needed him. Where woukd Kanye be if he never made beats for Jay? Jay was already hige before Kanye. Jay already had huge hits and critical acclaim. Kanye didn't become a sought aftet producer until after he did "This Can't Be Life" and more notably "Izzo" for Jay.

Kanye hasn't had a huge album or single since the one he did for Jay.

He’d prolly be the same as he is today just touring arenas instead of stadiums
