def the most overrated figure in hiphop atm. he's just good at choosing producers/beats. but not a uber-mc.

You are such a fucking idiot.

Jay Z > The Notorious BIG

Hip Hop's greatest ever.

Hov is the fucking boss of bosses.

You're an idiot.  How the fuck is Jay hip hop's greatest when Nas is better than him???  And btw, BIG shits on Jay-z IMO.

lol at people saying Jay aint that good when they dont even have any of his albums...

UWA, seen you on some other forums I think, anyways, Jay is an innovator, look at Best of Both Worlds and MTV Unplugged, dude tries different things, and always drops quality...

I personally dont see the big deal with him either. I have three of his albums (Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album), and while he's good for a listen here and there, he doesnt do much for me overall. Definatly one of the most overrated mc's ever IMO.

Jay could go track 4 track with any artist you can name....hes got witty wordplay...immaculate flow an jus plain cockiness....i mean when he started out the guy could not get signed..ANYWHERE....him an dame hustled dey way into the industry an built one of the biggest hip hop labels in history..dropped nine albums...always in the chart without losing the streets....even losing to nas didnt hurt him....

Don't get me wrong, I like most of the stuff I've heard from the guy(got about 4-5 of his albums), but over time I've read or heard people mention him as a big trend setter and stuff along those lines but haven't really seen it myself. I realise he's much bigger over there than here(Australia) so you guys would be exposed to him a lot more. Also another thing is the praise he gets for his flow, but to me he sounds like he's off beat/key on some tracks? is it because his flow is fairly originally that he gets the praise he does for it?

Well, you see why they made him president of Def Jam right?  Because he's the greatest marketing genius in hip-hop history.  Jay-Z was never anything more than an average rapper with no personality, and because of his marketing savvy, he's fooled people into believing that he's some kind of legend.
