    I'm honestly baffled by why y'all seem to think this man has slaps... I mean, I understand why Geriatric Hov thinks he does because Alzheimers and alladat but why do YOU, a clearly thinking person with access to streaming numbers think this man is seeing Drake or Wayne or even Lil Baby or Youngboy in a hit battle.

    Last semi-hit he had was Holy Grail and he was carried by JT.

    First Billboard number 1 he had was Empire State of Mind and he was carried by Keys.

    During his post retirement "run" he was bridal carried by Kanye.

    Prior to his retirement he had one or two hood anthems but let's face it, he was never that guy when it came to hits.

    So what's actually giving this man (aside from his untreated dementia) the confidence to say all this?

    I'm actually baffled.

    I was mad at the title but you're not wrong unless you count story of oj as a "hit"

    Edit - Story of oj isn't even certified platinum

    Peaked at #28, if I recall correctly.

    That's not a hit.

    Have you ever heard a song called Holla At Your Boy?

    It was everywhere around 2011.
    Anecdotal evidence or "it was bumping in the hood" doesn't make a song a hit.

    I really didn't even hear it on radio like that. If billboard don't prove it what else is there? I got no suggestions. Hov of all rappers is all about the numbers

    Also, it's only certified Gold (don't know if its hasn't been updated yet though)

    Jay Z's strongest hits post retirement would be:

    1. DoA
    2. Run This Town
    3. Empire
    4. Niggas in Paris
    5. Otis
    6. You Know I Got It
    7. Holy Grail
    8. Tom Ford
    9. Swagger Like Us
    10. Story of OJ

    Let's face it, even Kung Fu Kenny (who isn't exactly a hitmaker) is beating that.

    That's just laughable compared to Drake or Kanye or Wayne.
