    Why do hit songs matter when you can make a great album

    Great albums still need hits imo

    Hotline Bling > 99 Problems

    Y'all are acting like Jay Z was making topical, well thought out hits with a message like Alright or something.

    Meanwhile mans was just a swag, faux mafioso rapper jumping on every hot trend.

  • Dec 22, 2021

    to be fair he never drops music but yeah, they tried to act like that mid ass joint project with beyonce was gonna run the charts for months and that s*** came and went in a 3 hour time span

    that video of him saying he'd wash anyone in a verzus is comedy because ye or wayne are wiping the floor with him

    Peaked at #28, if I recall correctly.

    That's not a hit.

    My guy I need your warped brain to understand this. Most people above the age of 20 don’t run to a billboard to find out if they love a song or feel like it’s wavy. Numbers are almost meaningless and heavily influenced by label money.

    Jay Z is probably never going make music that goes #1 again. That doesn’t mean that his output isn’t excellent.

    His last solo 4:44 had no hits, but damn near the whole thing can be played front to back and sounds as fresh today as it did in 2017.

    That is the lasting power of good music. It’s what keeps him in the conversation. Capeesh?

    How?

    By what metrics?

    Numbers? No
    Streams? No
    Radio play? No

    So where are these mythical Jay Z hits and who's listening to them?

    By all those metrics, you’re just mad look at u😂

    OP ain't wrong. Jay Z doesn't have a lot of "hits". He has good-to-great songs that are decades old and hold a soft spot in the hearts of many rap fans. He plays songs like that and people will give him an automatic win for the Verzus battle just off the nostalgia alone. Same thing with Kanye. They'll only win a Verzus based off the work they've released decades ago, not off anything they've dropped 5-7 years ago.

    You literally always have the worst takes. Like I can’t imagine being this lame. You’re entire life is centered around throating Drake on a Kanye forum

    Jay Z was the numbers guy till he stopped putting up numbers. Then the narrative changed to "fuck Billboard" and "we don't care about streams here" after buying a whole streaming service to get in on the money being generated and the streaming service failing and forcing him to sell off parts of it.

    When are y'all gonna see that this man will be for something as long as he can benefit from it. The moment he can't, he'll try to make it seem uncool but he's lost that power decades ago. That's why DOA aged like milk.

    Can’t even lie points were made
