Why do people have such a hard-on for Jay-Z?
« on: July 27, 2006, 11:07:44 AM »
And I'm being real this time: camel shit and other remarks aside. Why is Jay held so highly among hip-hop fans? The guy is talented and all that, and I never understood why. Even when Jay first came out, and I was a young(er) buck, everyone was telling me Jay is the truth. I always thought he was alright. He's got one classic. Alot of the other stuff in his catalogue were trash except for his most recent stuff, IMO, but most people will tell you otherwise.

So please, educate me. Why is Jay considered so great in hip hop?

Because he's New York...He just wants to be Biggie so bad, he's doing everything he believes Biggie would have done had Biggie not died...That includes stealing Biggies flow, lyrics, and even entire verses. Like you said, he's average...Not even close to the greatest.

jay-z has 3 certified classics imo... reasonable doubt, blueprint and black album... his next album is sure to hit too, he comes up with the hit records, and has style, flow and charisma on the mic...

i can see your point....about not understanding and what not...so think about it this way...

the reason we love jay-z and all that...is the same reason you love cam'ron and dipset...to me cam'ron is an average rapper (actually to me cam is a great rapper who lost is touch right after sde)....either way...i feel that most of cam's catalogue & all of dipsets catalogue is trash...you guys always say cam is the truth and all that.

not to start a dipset hate thread...thats not at all what im trying to do so don't take it that way...i'm just sayin...its basically the same reason

I don't think Sikotic really likes Dipset, dude...I'm pretty sure it's just a gimmick he's playin' with. (I know this will upset all you Dipset followers). :-X
