Ok

Man I know HOV is shook rn, wow.

Is he wrong ? People swear Jay Z was some sort of mega star in his prime lol

Drake is arguable a top 2 - 3 biggest hip hop act in terms of popularity & maybe even number 1 when he’s done

Roc Nation’s pr team has warped everyone into believing Jay Z is some sort of gigantic hip hop presence because of his net worth & business successes

Water is wet
So was and is 50 cent.

Jay has never had an international hit song. Didn’t tour world wide until Beyoncé and was always 3rd or 5th biggest hip hop act even at his career height.

He was just consistent and a good businessman.

Fatboy said Nothing controversial.

FatBoy SSE

Clearly

In some ways yes

Spot on

He’s not wrong.

well tbh I dont think Jay-Z has ever been seen as a mega star or rockstar lvl. yes he's Jay-Z considered one of the greatest to do it but throughout his whole career he's never been the hottest artist out or someone everyone wanted to imitate.
I think you just have to be careful saying this to a purely hiphop base though
also it's different time and they make different types of music

Drake a bigger artist than Jay was in his prime commercially for sure, that's not debatable. That doesn't necessarily mean he has had a bigger impact on hip-hop culture.

well said

Wasnt there a song on WTT

No thanks

Fatboy is right

There’s always a big discourse whenever a random nigga on ig has an opinion. Man who tf cares

FatBoy SSE

You niggas really just be talking about things you know nothing about lol

Niggas In Paris obviously but if people want to contribute that Kanye stimulus you can go all the way back to Hard Knock Life which was definitely a hit world wide

No it wasn’t.

What the he’ll you talking bout hard knock life 😂

And niggas in Paris is after crazy in love and the Beyoncé hits he did which helped him internationally.

Stop overreacting and accept facts.

You must work for roc nation PR 😂

Facts is facts Jay was only top 3 to 5 of his era. He was never the biggest but was very consistent.

“Men lie women lie numbers don’t”

Drake is bigger than just about anyone. Of course he’s bigger than Jay this should not be a debate.

He outstreamed EVERYONE in the last decade. Not just rappers, everyone. Taylor Swift, Bieber, Ariana Grande, Eminem, etc. and by A LOT.

Say what you will about steaming but it shows who’s music is really being consumed the most, and for Drake, that was miles ahead of anyone else. Including Jay Z lol

Drake is now in talks with MJ, The Beatles, etc as one of the biggest acts ever. This is silly to even argue.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HardKnock_Life(Ghetto_Anthem)

"Outside the United States, the song peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as the top twenty of the charts in Austria and Belgium."

Men lie women lie numbers don't

You posted nothing to prove your right 😂

“Men lie women lie numbers don’t”

Jay was 3 to 5 of his era and you can’t PR your way out of those facts. 😂

Luda and Nelly, Eminem were bigger than him uh oh 😂

Facts got this roc nation intern going crazy

But Jay was very consistent and a good businessman like I said.
