Yo I used to hate Jay. Hated everything about his personna. The vapid materialism. The fact that he benefited greatly from BIGs death. An obvious nerd who projected arrogance and claimed to be this high-end drug dealer. A "hardcore" rapper who clearly consulted his marketing team before releasing albums.Jay-Z
He gets touted as one of the best but he never says anything witty or poignant to bestow those things about him.
I think people fell over themselves with his narrative; calling out Nas as an intellectual, retirement and never writing his raps down.
But to say he's not WITTY? Nah breh. He's one witty motherfukker. Got to give him that. Maybe the most witty ever on the mic.
Not poignant? That I agree with. He squandered opportunities when he was at the top of the game to drop some poignant shyt. He tried to pivot during Blueprint 1 and 2 and Black Album but that his attempts were weak.
But as he said 'you will respect me, simple as that'. I have no choice but to give him his respect as a lyricist.

Cole’s issue is the music as a whole. It lacks replay ability because the beats are so bad and the hooks are below average. Once you’re no longer drawn into the content of the raps it loses any kind of impact. That’s why he’s struggled so much since FUD to make music stick
Has Joey Badass been mentioned?

Jeru the Damaja. I remember back in the day a lot of cats was hyping him as one of the top rappers.
Eminem. Trash lyrics. Annoying delivery. No subject matter.
Kendrick lamar. He has no real outstanding work.

Kendrick. I like the production and the themes in his music but line for line he's an overrated lyricist.
