Once you sellout,...
You descend into and never create a stopgap for bullshyt.
It is just like Kane,....
Sold out so bad.
Lost focus on his skillset and descended into the point of no return.
at least Kane had his own technical rubrick to go back and update.
Since jay was a skill morph biter.
He has no real rubick skillwise to reference and go back to.
Also,...since he 'supposedly',..never wrote.[big question and quotation marks around supposedly]
He has no actual physical rhymes from his past on paper to survey.
To study and ramp back up his loss of skill.
Plus, he destroyed the liasons to the people.
Who helped craft and allowed him to piggyback off of their already developed skillset.
That allows him to be able shift into the slow flow arena.

It is just the devolution of a nikka who really never really had the skills from his own merit in the first place.
He just so happened to benefit from rap's glass ceiling being shattered through two deaths.
Plus had built a rapport to acquire movie money.
Which also, lead to the saturation of singles.
Which created his highest selling drawing envelope on hard knock.
If not for those factors.
Plus puff destroying the protection mechanisms.
Along with nas allowing and reversing the work of the original knights of the templar of the new school way of thought.
Jay would never have materialized using skill morphed biter based skills, in the first place.
we just got lucky to get the best pr'd rapper ever,....
Who also faked the most jacks ever to prominence as a draw as well.
To bad all the jacks he faked.
Including, really never having his own skills base.
It would have been nice to get the type of arrogance on jiggy sellout music.
That made his jiggy sellout stuff tolerable over nas, mase and puff.
Plus other copycats of sellout jiggy shyt.
Who ruined their draws and career, culturally as well.

Jay been swaggin, just not very ghettoish.

Black excellence, opulence, decadence
Tuxes next to the president, I’m present
I dress in Dries and other boutique stores in Paris
In sheepskin coats, I silence the lambs
Do you know who I am, Clarice?
No cheap cologne whenever I “shh-shh”
Success never smelled so sweet
I stink of success, the new black elite
They say my Black Card bears the mark of the beast

>>>>>> Lobster and Shrimp
