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.
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.
He hasn't got bars and his music is god awful boring. His fans are nikkas that can't hoop and bytches that want light skin babies. Dave East should of had his gimmick. Everytime time i've given him a chance from a freestyle to an album, i'm always left disappointed.
