    I swear y'all look for s*** to be angry about

    I preface this with neither of them “saved” each other but my point is that Kanye did not need WTT at all, he was in his prime coming off of his most acclaimed album & would have certainly put those materials towards his next solo lol

    Ok yea fair. True

  • Abyss

    Jay Z went into hiding when 50 appeared
    Came back with a flop
    Then had Rihanna and Kanye carry him
    Its easy to do revisionism when these things happened over 10 years ago. But we were there

    Nah

    I was elementary aged and I gave a f*** about Kingdom Come lol

    Jay and 50 didn’t really have anything to do with each other they were two different types of sounds and rapper archetypes lol

  • That’s ridiculous. Just Blaze had just as much heat on BP too.

    Kanye revitalized Jay after his strange r Kelly era

  • Wait huh? That’s just not really true
    Yes Kanye worked with Jay and made great stuff many times but there’s no evidence he Saved his career… Was Jay Z ever on life support?

    NIP was really Jay's first diamond? Didn't know that, I refuse to believe it too

  • Gay Ave Stan

    A lot of Kanye stans don't listen to much hip-hop outside of his discography, so they develop a warped view of the history of rap that centres solely around Kanye. Not saying it's true of the guy in OP specifically, but that's where this narrative originated from

    100% Ye is obviously incredibly influential and one of the best artists of all time but this tweeter is clearly a delusional stan talking out their ass. providing The Blueprint sound was important for sure but Jay-Z wasn’t in a make or break situation, having nonstop consecutive #1 albums up to that point and after

    It was a group effort. Rihanna, Beyoncé and Kanye kept Jay afloat late 00's. All the way up until 12-13. NY and old heads always rocked with him, but the youth didn't love Jay Z from about TBA on.

    Even his biggest song ever was seen more as an Alicia song cause the hook is the only thing people know about that record lol

    Black Album was the last hurrah of his organic prime imo. That Linkin Park collab he had a year earlier was really hot too.

    His absolute commercial peak imo was BP 2. He was everywhere back then

    mdma got you feelin like a champion
