Reasonable doubt is not even a top ten album.

I was just listening to "Lifestyles of the poor and Dangerous", and there is a Song featuring Jay-z and he literally had the worst flow, worst presence and worst lyrics on the entire album. recently, I saw him "freestyle" on a late 80s MTV interview with Big Daddy Kane, and it was pure garbage.

I am struggling to understand how he became so elevated in hip-hop. I think It's basically due to his cut-throat business tactics, beat selection, and ear for commercially viable records.

As a capitalist advocate, I respect his ability to sell music that appeals to the dull minded mass market. It's a testament to his business acumen.
However, to say that he has ever creatively recorded something on the same level as "New York State of Mind" or "Life is a Bytch" is intellectually dishonest and the symptom of bias and fanboyism.

In a line of bad features, Jay-Z stood out as one of the worst. This a good beat ruined garbage features including Jay-Z who is among the worst.




Vs Nad who has, bar none, the GREATEST feature in the history hip-hop music.



Didn't Jay-z steal lines from this track?


Like I said he is a good commercial act, but I don't see him as a creative artist like Nas, who did both routes successfully.

Both Reasonable Doubt and IWW are better than Illmatic. I have held that opinion for years and it seems like a lot of this current hip hop crop like Wale and Kendrick agree with me.

This is basically hip hop sacrilege...plus it's also wrong.
