Hurt him in the long run?

He’s already cemented. He doesn’t have to drop another album ever if he doesn’t want to

Yeah. I'm not denying Kendrick draws some inspiration from Hov or quoted some lines of his but his actual rapping style overlaps with Wayne, Andre, and Eminem more than Jay's.

Just look at B**** Don't Kill My Vibe remix for example and it's obvious how distinct both of their styles are.

People read books that are 3000 years old

Op get a hobby next time you're bored like this, instead of asking stupid questions

Same with that first Missy album imo

Yeah, out of all of them I'd say Kendrick is the least directly influenced in terms of rap style

But he still bigs up Hov all the time plus he named himself K Dot

Missy got one of the best discography’s in rap

LETS TALK ABOUT SUPA DUPA FLY. Ahead of its time. 27 years later that album is still getting played. Oh and Ginuwine’s first two albums in 1996 and 1999 - HEAT

He still is whenever Drake or someone big always ask for an album feature so he still is considered pretty big amongst the older demographic

honestly hov has only gotten better over time so yeah

It literally still sounds ahead of what’s going on today

Timbo a goat forever off that alone

If you dont like Hov I dont need any other musical opinions from you ever

Drake obv

True I like these albums more, arguably you can say OutKast’s discography aged better, it’s really perfect

But for Jay-Z I’d say he always stayed true to the current sound while keeping his charisma and personality. His albums from the 90s are a bit dated but use a sound that can translate well today. Then his 2000s stuff like Blueprint, Black Album, American Gangster aged really well I’d even say Dynasty too. Had hits throughout his lifetime and consistently dropped in 20 years.

🤨

will hov stand the test of time im dead ur cooked kid

Kast albums still sound great

Will Hov stand the test of time? Riddle me that
Hov still top 3 best to rhyme, me BIG and Pac

Hov is inarguably the greatest imo and I'm 26, all my niggas mid 30s tho but nah fr I think the same way Jordan is the goat, he defined the term for all time and for generations, overtime new kids push the boundaries and cause us to question the benchmark, but Jay is still him

We'll find out after the inevitable pedo expose and subsequent documentary.

HOVA!

No. His black capitalist persona is aging badly already and he isn't releasing enough new music to stay relevant with younger generations

The music will last forever ofc, just talking about his reputation

HOV is god to the 35+ crowd. You kinda had to be there. Also, there are 4 peaks in his discog which is quite an achievement.
You got the vol 1 era, then blueprint, then wtt, and finally 4:44
