would jay still be considered the best if he wasnt rich?

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

The best to who?...to the minority of internet fanbases and types that frequent youtube comments? No

Which is why on every Jay video u cant look at the comment section without someone bringin up ether because usually the most popular with continued longevity will be hated and their supposed enemies will be dikkrode

Like even if u look at the comments section of that Nas video thankin god for Jay z the comment section is filled with heartbroken fans who looked to Nas as some savior and the second he gave props to Jay they were heartbroken because the only reason for their allegiance is because of their hate for Jay

Most Jay fans are regular people who could care less about these frivulous things
So u'll see more positive reception in these outlets for Nas than Jay
Same can be said for Cole and Drake
An anti J Cole video will have a long ass dislike bar and a bunch of comments tellin ppl they are not "intelligent" enough to appreciate J Cole while anti Drake videos will not have the same traits in reception

That is because like I said..Most Jay fans(and drake fans) are regular ppl who dont care enough for the frivolous crap and dnt sit on the net worrying bout that stuff

Nas fans are...

So as for ur original question

Jay will never be considered the best by these internet hipster types
But to regular people..yes he would

Nah....Pac got that on lock

If Jay was broke he'd be beloved by the small niche of internet crab nikkas who hate him now. He might have gone a Rick Ross approach and just created a facade of wealth and bossness (yeah, I said bossnes

) which said crabs ironically eat up or been a stereotypical street rapper but internet nikkas would stan him because his themes were more relatable and he came off as not shytting on them on every song. Well he'd still be shytting on them like the vast majority of rappers do but just not as much

If he wasn't rich all of his braggadocios raps would be invalidated and he would be a different person. You're literally asking if he would be considered the best if he was a different rapper.

Naw. His wealth is tied to his image of the best. Ask his fans. They will talk about his money, his "business ventures" and beyonce before they even speak about his music. Get into a debate with a jay-z fan.

Me: I don't think jay is that nice

Jay Stan (aka a fatherless idiot) but yo... He own the nets, he has beyonce as his sex slave and he got like more money than Bill gates. He mad rich yo.

Me: but what about his music?

Jay Stan ( aka a shallow materialistic moron) you a hater yo. He got beyonce and stadiums. He be the best ever yo

ugly and rich and married to beyonce>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ugly and poor and dumped by an ugly chick whose cherry you popped

 

[MINT]

the answer is clear: No. Not even top 30

 

[CM_Burns]

If he was Dynasty/Blueprint rich? Yes, he still would be.

If he had DMXs financial situation right now, then no.

Shows how shallow you are and you're lack of morals. All that is imagery to make you idiots worship jigga man. As a rapper, he isn't even top 10 or 20. As a business man aka slutting out his image for his Jew paymasters or the highest bidder, so they can get blacks to pour their money into shyt that otherwise they wouldn't support, then yea. Top 5 dead or alive

 

[Tom Foolery]

Nope.

it's really a dumb fukking question honestly...it ain't even about the money, it's about whether he'd still be "jay-z" or if he would released as many albums as a lot of other nobody ass rappers (in comparison) an still being relevant..and then how rich are we talking? nas rich? eminem rich? What does a "broke" jay-z sound like?

It's stupid, if you're asking whether or not his talent overall would still have him among the best no matter how his financials played out, i'd say yes

the answer is clear: No. Not even top 30

Jay > biggie and aint ain't got shyt to do with his bank account....
