Regardless... still holds true

RD wasn't even respected or held to high regard until years later...

But keep shytting on cacs... that's what the Coli is good for.

u talkin bout things u dont know. RD was poppin when it was out. it had 3/4 hit singles and certified jay as someone to watch for.

man, I'm just speaking facts. jt is a mediocre artist who was lucky enough to be carried by amazing producers. you can't be considered great if you dont take any risks. it's corny

I'm just saying... the two used super producers to further their career and bring it to a new level and direction. These are facts.
Not the same. Just Blaze and Kanye became superproducers after The Blueprint dropped. Not before. They were relatively nobodies that brought Jay Z heat and people inquired on who they were. We knew who The Neptunes and Timbaland were already.

:russ: you know he was a multi platinum star prior to working with them, right? He made them household names not the other way around.

Sometimes I'm :snoop: when I see these "Kanye made Jay-Z's career" comments. Then again, most weren't even born when Jay-Z was out. and certainly weren't even listening to hip hop.

And Timberlake was a household name before Timbaland or Pharell... see what I did there?

:ehh: Nice deflection attempt. Except it doesn't work at all because Timberlake was in a completely different genre at the time: pop. Totally different audience. White boy bands were hot for a minute but clearly started losing appeal. JT knew he had to jump shyt.

Timberlake just wasn't getting play in the Black community like that. We had our own boy bands like Blackstreet who were way ahead of NSync and them. 90s RnB was way too strong. Think about it.
