To me, he hasn't done anything revolutionary in Hip-Hop to be considered an icon or an instrumental piece in Hip-Hop.
He's sorta right, but not really.Noone in the pop world knew - or atleast cared about jay until 01 at the earliest. thats still a year before he got with b, but the point standsthing is, jay wasnt only known for b - he got way more mainstream on his own at that time too. even now alot of older people nowadays still dont know who he is - but they know beyonce. even jay himself admits that b is more famous than him, so you can kinda see where 50s comin from...of course he has his own motives, but theres a hint of truth to what hes saying.
