Why did Jay-z Completely Change His Flow/Voice After Blueprint 1

[seemorecizzy]

shyt is mind bogggling







shyt was so smooth and crisp on this album

then less than a year later it was







homie rapping all fast and sloppy
look at the song cry flow compared to the bonnie and clyde flow
takeover flow compared to the blueprint 2 flow
its like hes trying to rap fast and slow at the same time

and he never went back to that blueprint flow again
why ruin a good thing

wont even get into the stupid "yuppp" and yess adlibs he started doing on this album too

 

[NoHalfWay]

His rhyming/flow was better on The Blueprint 2 and The Black Album than it was on the first Blueprint for the most part.

He had long since pick up the whiny voice tho

 

[Billy Ocean]

Nas changed Jay. Ether made the camel question damn near every facet of his life including his rapping. So vulgar.

Ether was the straw that broke the camels back..and confidence
Left him as broke back Carter (yes Rush Hour 2)

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

He stole his flow from chris from young gunnas then changed it again after black album when 50 was hot.

Listen to de ja Vu by beyonce as an example.

 

[the cac mamba]

ether took the bass out of his voice

its really that simple

 

[really tho]

in before jay stans come for hoeva

 

[theflyest]

The Philly influence. I couldn't stand when he did the "whisper flow." It worked for Young Chris, but I wasn't feeling when Jay did it.

Nas changed Jay. Ether made the camel question damn near every facet of his life including his rapping. So vulgar.

Yet he continued to get more popular and eventually dropped the black album.

Yet Nas...well Nas fell off to obscurity and irrelevance

Yet Jay and his artists always dikk ride him
I bet Jay helped Cole write let Let NaS Down

 

[Blankthawtz]

he pulled young chris to the side and said:

"eh...lemme borrow that"

 

[Vilified not verified]

Yer I think he chose a more relaxed and more light hearted care free flow as a front to mask the damage to his ego from the ether to make it seem to fans that he wasn't bothered.

 

[Still Benefited]

Maaaan u know how raw jay was before he started takin his flow too serious? Folks start gassin how many flows he had....fuk that shyt,jay was at his best when he had that chppy,sometimes off beat flow, but was talking down on nikkas like we was all his children,being vulgar as u could posaibly be,demeaning everything nikkas stood for and was juat straight disrespectdul....ether was only impressive cuz nas pulled a jay on jay and had credibility to pull it off....hate to say too much philly rubbed off on jay. But young chris fuked em over

 

[really tho]

Jay has probably changed his flow more than anyone in Hip Hop. You gotta change shyt up to remain relevant / interesting.
