To what extent was Jay Z considered a lyrically impressive rapper

[Mac Casper]

You know . . before the "I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars" was put into play

I greatly enjoy Reasonable Doubt but I never considered anything in it to be lyrically impressive. So I'm wondering what examples come to mind when you think of impressive lyrics from Jay and was he more noted for his lyrical ability or the content of work

You don't think Jay Z has any verses that are worthy of posting?

Was Jay Z ever thought of as lyrically impressive and I'm wondering if the avid Jay Z fans on here are more drawn to his work because of his lyrical skill, the songs overall, or the content he's putting into his verses

 

[Big Mark]

I agree. While clever, Jay z never blew me away with any rhymes. His word play was never anything that I felt was special. I think him being a superior lyricist is something that he and his fans put out there just like when he proclaimed Reasonable Doubt being a certified classic.

What is lyrical if not Jay-z wasn't .

Do you nikkas need him to talk about lyrics for you to understand that it's lyrical.


Unlike most of his peers he doesn't just rhyme big words with completely grammatically incorrect sentences and punchlines that actually don't mean anything. There's double meanings in all of them, that are relevant to the actual rhyme. It takes another level of lyricism, and thereby understanding of the listener.


So again, go back to sleep and when you wake up ask yourself why you would ask such as stupid question on a Sunday morning.

Wally meditates and has never found the need for anything that didn't come from within

and going ham in the sense that you backed down out of a discussion and just choose to say "you try to hard" . .

you should be ashamed of yourself

I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE SUBJECT HES ON MOST OF THE TIME, BUT CAN THAT NOT BE SAID FOR EVERY OTHER RAPPER ON JAYS LEVEL?

After I offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity enter a judgement free zone where you're allowed explain what specifically draws you to Jay Z and you're not able to offer a single example of a competent thought. All the while you make false claims that you attempt to talk into existence.

To the same extent that the OP is a delusional, dikkcheese licking, cocksucking, semen smuggling, estrogen pissing, pom pom shaking fruit booty who would sell his first born for the opportunity to ride the dikk of whatever human brick factory of a god awful excuse rapper they stan until their colon is pregnant with a starting five plus bench warmers on some Octomom shyt

That is to say the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd is the GOATliest of GOATly GOATness as far as lyricism is concerned

Same reason why Lupe, GZA, and Common are revered as great lyricists.

Only thing different is Hov applied his literary skills to hustle talk
