Nelly
50 Cent
Kanye
TI

Chance

I love Jay but he was doin songs with Linkin Park stop cappin like he won’t trynna reach those different demographics

he was already a superstar by then

six number 1 albums in a row, maybe more and he was coming off his retirement album by the time that happened

fam was bored, wanted to see what that rock n roll money was like

jay z is overrated

Pretty dumb thread tbh

you really tryna call kendrick a singer

jay-z doesnt have to sing cuz he leeches off bigger acts

Love out now

Swimming Pools out now

Wesley's Theory out now

Only reason Jay stayed relevant was because every album after 2004 was announced as a retirement album.

He was making songs like 03 Bonnie & Clyde and Sunshine cmon man

Sunshine was bad look but he was still finding himself as an artist

And having your future queen sing the hook on a smash hit>>>

Broke bois singing they own hooks cuz they budget weak

got me weak tryna imagine jay sing

Since completely lost its mind yeah

what are these takes dawg

Nah jay just cant write hit hooks

Lmfao thatd be crazy
