:mindblown: maybe I'm just old but idk where this whole Jay wouldn't be a superstar with out Beyonce thing came from seen some dudes in the booth say it too

but Jay was a super star way before she came long, and not just "in the hood" he had pop hits already, or do we not remember this

:wtf: if anything he helped her csrsedc

I agree but they both were stars on their own.

He had cross over appeal with Big pompin and Hard knock life....

She was were Rihanna was with pon de replay.

They are both great on their own... they complemented each other in the business realm.

I remember him going on Conan O'Brien around 01 or 02 and literally bowing to him.

Dude was big since 98. Beyonce kinda brought a new crowd, but arguably he had a big hand in her success and used that to boost himself.

not in the way he is. i think starting a family increased his longevity and created a pairing. a two fold chord is not easily broken. i mean, how long can you play the bachelor? even clooney settled down

He was a star before he got with her, but she definitely helped keep him afloat over the years. Allowed him to tap into an audience who otherwise wouldn't have cared about his music.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
If he didn't cuff or gain some of her fans or have a celeeb family?



Let's share our thoughts :dame:

jay's biggest selling album was before he started dating her

he was retiring when he finally got around to having "the hottest chick in the game, wearing his chain"


by the time it became official and they were doing tracks and shyt, it was 03 and he was retired.


he was already top of the game at that point... did it help... yea... but he'd be fine without her

na she was way bigger than Rihanna "pon de replay :dead: she was the leaf singer of probably the biggest female r&b group of all time. But neither needed each other to get where they was going
