PREACH!!!!Jay-Z is the most over-rated. And there is no "BUT" to that statement.. there is no, "BUT I liked his first album but he sucks now" or "but I have a lot of his cd's and like some of his songs".... No if, ands, or buts, about it.And don't think I'm being a hater because I am 32 damn years old. I was around and a huge hip-hop head in 96 when this dude first came out and he wasn't even popular enough to have haters. His joint with Foxy Brown was the first joint I heard and right away I took him as some sort of back-up groupie for Foxy Brown. Like a sort of Spliff Starr for Foxy Brown. No joke. I just thought he was like her back-up dude or some shit like that...Then when he came out with what I consider his best song, "Can't Knock the Hustle" with Mary J. Blige, I was taping songs off the radio and I had left the RECORD button on too long and accidentally taped that track after Do or Die "Po Pimp". So it got left on the tape and I would always hear that song after I would listen to "Po Pimp" before I could get to the tape player and fast forward or rewind.NOW THAT WAS HIS BEST SONG. And I even used to fast forward over his shit. And this was way before dude had HATERS. Dude just sounded like a regular NY rapper, with very little charisma or originality to stand out from all the other golden age rappers of the mid-90's....so I always thought this dude was average at best. I even bought his second album because I liked the joint "Sunshine" with Foxy Brown and I had a thing for Foxy Brown. So I tried to listen to the album and I wasn't feeling it at all. I was shocked when "Hard Knock Life" came out and dude was talking about retirement, and people were saying he was one of the greatest, and making a big deal about that shit like he was a legend or something... I couldn't believe it, and being so young I was stupid enough to buy into the hype a bit and pick up the album. It sounded good one time through and then the second time through it was wack and I never bumped the album again after that.
The blood gang embraces Tupac as a member even if YOU dont.
It took me awhile to come around on him but Jay-Z makes great music. Any artist that gets as many magazine covers and MTV play as him is going to be called "overrated" by quite a few. That's the nature of the game. Some will love, some will hate. I think the guy has a nice catalog.
Naw, fucc that.. read my post... I hated this FICCA before he ever made a magazine cover I thought he was Foxy's back up or somethin... Whereas the first time I heard a ficca like Pac or Snoop or Em or Nas or Andre3000, I said... "DAMN THAT FICCA IS THE TRUTH!"
...by the way. That quote is fuccing perfect for Jay, the one that 50 mentions. They ought to put that shit on Jay's tombstone. That's a great line and sums up what he is all about. "I'd rather be over-rated/ than underpaid". He ain't about the art or the respect, he's a marketing genius.
People get the game mixed up and they respect him cause of his business success, which no doubt he's a hell of a businessman nobody can take that away from him, he had to be to make so many dumb muthafuckaz believe he was a star
