VibeThat's not what I said, and this is clearly a race thing for you guys
Not at all. Eminem's in my top 10 and I'm not even that big of a Jay fan. I have Wayne ranked over him.
I'm just trying to gauge how people are defining "impact" here.
If it's just popularity and fame, then that makes it easier to define. But, if we're talking influence and trends within the genre itself, I feel the argument can go either way.

What trend did Jay Z set?
What terms did he popularize?
What movement did he inspire? - Jan 25, 2023·1 reply
gnarlynastyEminem impacted white peoples outlook on Hip Hop,Jay impacted Hip Hop as a whole.
THE END
As a whole would mean the whole wide world right?

When I say whole,I mean culture. Anything thats cool about Hip Hop nowadays,Jay probably had something to do with it. You can say Eminem has a world wide impact with him being a white rapper,but,how has he influenced actual rap culture when it comes to fashion,slang and s*** that was cool.
You can say Eminem has the wider reach but at the end of the day,who really wants to be Eminem over being Jay-Z?

Pharrell was the one that brought fashion to rap at a large scale and Kanye
Eminem brought stan and renegade as slang lol can't really think of any Jay Z slang
And alot of lyrical miracle rappers want to be Em lol
Ironically Pusha T and Drake are probably the biggest rappers that want to be like Jay
Even Kendrick and Cole are more alike an Eminem type of artist

Shady AntYeah, but I think 50 said that because another lesser known rapper whose name I foolishly didn’t commit to memory said that Jay was more important to the culture than Em, and some people on twitter started having discussions over it.
That’s what I think started the whole discussionI think it all started from this

Jay was always the epitome of cool throughout the 2000s. Yeah,Pharrell and Ye were the fashion guys but Jay was a fashion guy,mogul and dope rapper,he was all of the above. No one really wanted to be like Em,they just wanted his spot

Once the 2010s hit Eminem had that wave of Tyler, The Creator, Earl, Logic etc and in the later 2010s ppl like JuiceWRLD and XXXTENTACION.
I can't really think of rappers in the 2010s wanting to sound like Jay outside of Drake. And he's probably the biggest one.

Oh no I don’t care about that. I’m talking music wise. Sure he is the reason I’ve gotten into rap and I’m aware his influence on rap. I know he made it bigger and brought a different audience and s***. But Eminem is overrated

Lol, my guy, stop spinning duck tales to the youngins
Jay was never a fashion guy, that was P, Dipset and Loso.
He only recently became the mogul guy, that because was Master P
All Jay Z has done is find a wave, let people try it out and take the creative risk, then jump on it when it became mainstream. Only time he tried to pioneer something was with Death of Autotune, the art talk and the whole European businessman wave. And we all know how that went.

Jay was actually getting outshined by DMX, Em and 50 in the late 90s and 2000s which was arguably his peak. He was just able to be more consistent than all of them in the long run
