Yeah I think Jay Z is pretty over rated tbh. I’m old enough to remember my mom having Jay Z cassette tapes and playing them in in car, so I’m not some young kid just being edgy.

Jay Z is a good rapper, and a better businessman. Has some dope verses / flows, but nothing especially unique.

What makes him unique is his business acumen and the way he carries himself.

I’m not saying anything to hate, I have like 2 of his songs in my top 25 songs of all time. He’s definitely a whole f***in legend, just pretty over rated when it comes to rap

I was born in 85, little boy. I also have extensive background in hip hop. I know what I'm talking about. Now accept it.

Mods don’t even think about moving, this is directly tied in with Kanye.

——————-

I was watching an interview with stand up comedian Bill Burr about his role in the show Breaking Bad. When he was praised by the audience for his performance (especially for having no previous acting credits), he humbly explained that you could literally put ANYONE in a show with that perfect of a script and it would make them look good. The show itself was so good that it made inexperienced actors look like geniuses.

I question whether or not Jay Z would be half the rap legend he is today if it weren’t for Kanye’s beats. Similar to Burr, you could put the s***tiest rapper on something so perfect (a Kanye beat for example) and it would make him look like a king.

Conversely, put any Jay Z verse on, say, a very basic, flat, underground hip hop beat and it just wouldn’t hit the same.

What do you guys think? We all know Kanye carried Jay Z through the latter part of his career, but exactly how much? What would Jay’s rap career looked like if Kanye never existed?

You are a dumbass. Jay was popping before Kanye. I know personally that Kanye would slap your dumbass for saying this. Everyone in this thread in now dumber for having to hear what you had to say.

Also Ye hasn’t even produced Jays biggest hits.

Little boy 😂😂 admit that you have a terrible opinion, your « soit disant » extensive background is total bullshit. You sound like you know nothing about hiphop, that’s what I see.
