Jay-Z was never anything more than an average rapper with no personality.

Oh man,i remember when he went on the Howard Stern show,he didn't want to talk about annything,it was the worst interview in the history of the show,He din't want to talk about beyonce,what a fag,the interview didn't even aired on the E! show.

If those arent some of the most comprehensive detailed expressions of the street mentality then I dont think yall are qualified to rate a real vet

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.

In some aspects he's overrated, but on the whole, he's one of the most well rounded rappers in history. Charisma, flow, lyrical talent...he's got everything, just that at times he comes off as lyrically lazy. Reasonable Doubt is a hip hop classic. His last record is one of the best releases in the last several years, imo. Plus, he wrote 'Still D.R.E.' Dude deserves his props.

Jay Z is more then just a rapper, had the vision to found Roca-Fella-Records and also Roca-Fella clothes line, this way even if the muzik industry changes dramatically and he loses his edge in the rap world he'll still have a cool multi-million coming in every year. Respect to him. + back in the day he was a dope rapper no one can deny that, cleaver with words and phrazes. Jigga Man. ohhh and his got one of the best lookin women in the world on his shoulder!!
