whats so great about jay-z?

[Hatesrats™]

Good discography, longevity & I have been a fan since '95/'96...
Makes Jigga one of that last men still standing from a great era.
So I'll say some loyalty is involved aswell. (As a fan)

[Action!]

No one in rap has had longevity and been as consistent in releasing music that has garnered a significant audience, both critically and publicly, while making money.    Diddy has been consistent as a business man.  Nas has been, more or less, consistent as an artist of hip-hop but his entrepreneur skills were never like Jay's.   This only matters for an art form like hip-hop because it's rare.  Dr.Dre (in hibernation due to his own fears but at the same time gives a tremendous amount back to hip-hop) and Snoop Dogg (who done fell off) are still around. 

With that said, most of that is bullocks and doesn't matter.  I like Jay for his music.  Particularly, Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, Kingdom Come, and American Gangster.  I wasn't feel the Carter series or Bluperint 2 all that much.

Jay-Z is dope.  He's got a pretty sick catologue of albums and songs over the past decade+....Hes in my top 5, theres not many dudes that can hold it down album for album with Hov IMO

Fuck a jay-z. It was obvious hes not real when he pulled that "im quitting" publicity stunt. Lost all respect for him when he did that shit.

black album and blueprint were wack overall



"brooklyns finest" with biggie was fresh

reasonable doubt is a solid album...not a CLASSIC, but a very solid album.  kind of like chino XL's "here to save you all" - it was one banger away from being a classsic i'd say.

i'll take a new Jay-Z album, even a Kingdom Come or American Gangster over 90% of the rest of rap.

co-sign jay-z is GOAT

nobody is trying to say Jay is the GOAT, well here anyway.

but he has such a legendary disco. & has been a legendary icon in not just rap, but music.

everybody else who came from back in the day gets that bullshit "the impact he made" pass, which improves their legacy, why can't Jay get that?

it's probably because he is the oldest guy left still doing it big on the radio & he is in commercials, etc.
