Why doesn't this new generation seem to understand or grasp why Jay-Z was considered a top draw?

there is this generation:
can't remember anything before their 15th birthday
doesn't know basic history
has knowledge of the WORLD at their fingertips and still ask questions that they can simply google
thinks the world started when they were born
You're asking why these group of people can't comprehend basic shyt?
Then you have the ones who try to be smart and project their lack of knowledge onto you by saying, "I'm sure you can't name too many movies or music from before you were born", not knowing that roughly half of my vinyl collection is 70s music and my favorite films of all time are 70s blaxploitation flicks.

Vol 1 was a great album, it's just the garbage ass singles he chose had people believing the album was that bad as well. Take away "always be my sunshine", "the city is mine", and "I know what the girls like" and you got damn near a flawless album.

City of Mine can stay...it has enough to it to fit the rest of the albums theme, but those other two?....
..completely tarnish the album and sully it horribly

For the same reason they believe the earth is flat, the Holocaust didn't happen, slavery wasn't a big deal, etc. They are stupid on a level more comparable to country bumpkins circa 1930 than any recent demographic of young people. They don't read, many can't read, and they outright refuse to learn anything. Sure they'll throw a question in an AI prompt but that's about it. We got hundreds of thousands of kids in this country who don't know who Michael Jackson is and don't care to look it up...why the fukk would they know anything about Jay beyond whatever tiktok propaganda they've consumed about him (he runs the music industry, he's a rapist, etc).

The Jay disrespect & downplaying is ridiculous & has some looking like they aren't familiar with hip hop in general or his catalogue. If Jay decided tomorrow to go to some of these nikkas little ass town they're from & have a concert, he'd shut the whole area down lol
So if the youth feel like what t/s said they're dumb, but if u listen to his music like ur daugther then..u're brilliant?
Cmon bro.
My guess is just that they dont relate to Jay. Hes not Jigga that we saw, to them hes Beyonces husband who supposedly is a billionaire

Lower standard today.
Just look at what they boost today. 30 years ago, the standard was much higher. So they can't understand what MC's from that era brought to the table talent-wise because today, you don’t really have to be that talented to be "successful". You had to be there back then, to understand how trash sh*t is today.
Ignorance is bliss for this new generation.

yeah. It's crazy how 2 songs can change the landscape of an entire album. I have no idea to this day what Jay Z was thinking in making Sunshine a single. I get that it was Puff's year of the 80s pop loops, but damn man, people actually thought the entire album sounded like that and many wouldn't bother with it.City of Mine can stay...it has enough to it to fit the rest of the albums theme, but those other two?....

It's like y'all just make threads to be mad and argue out the blue about the same 6 topics for decades.
