Em? Yeah i have mad love...Im glad hes so mainstreem, Teaches these pups about the deepness of the writen word.

Jay-z...Like Many other "Rap Artist" anoys me...I seriosuly question how they got so good...

You Are Entitled To Your Own Opinion, But...

You Have To Realize That Jay-Z Hardly Writes Any Of His Songs...I Mean Actually Sitting, Thinking, And Writing The Song...

Most Of His Stuff Is Flowing Off The Top Of His Head, And Just Pretty Much Freestyling...

I Do Agree...Some Underground Guys Are Better Lyrically Then Jay...But, He Is Just As Good As These Guys...And He Hardly Ever Writes...

you people are retarded to think jayz is wack....1st of all..em has a more wide rep and hes image has been spread all over...jigga has been going strong since 96...9 albums...u see ne1 else doin that mu fucka put hard work...he didnt start gettin recognized till after vol 2 came out n thats already 3 albums....you people need to stop haten on jigga...top 5...say word.....1

the next person to tell me .. i don't know real hip hop... will avidly learn to stop swinging on my nuts.

i been listining to hip hop since '86.(maybe even younger, but i can't remember that far.) been rapping since 93. take your minor ass out of here with," i don't know real rap". you listen to what you like.. i'll listen to what i like. i hate when people come in here.. listening to backpacker music for like 6 months.. and all of the sudden, i'm insubordinate in the field.. of knowing whats real rap. it's all real.. just diffrent strokes for diffrent folks.

oh and i like your sig.

this thread needs to die now its just a thread for hov haters...haters gon hate and there aint nothin you can do about that so just gotta blow em off...fuck it i aint gon bother postin in this thread no more, dont know if any of you will

I hat hova with a passione (go Nas) but after a while you realise it's just music and you listen to what the other has to offer. I personally like Jay'z's flow, just something about it... Nowadays I'm rocking the Reasonable Doubt cd... Dead Presidents is a rap song with flow and delivery

i happen 2 like jay-z not all of his songs but i like in most songs he features in his short burst of lyrics i find em kinda dope n e 1 else agree?

i agree wit Holems Jr. ppl here just hatin... but o well everyone got dey opinion, but i bet ya niggas hatin on Jigga ya only here songs like "girls, girls, girls" or "Money, Cash, Hoes" u know... da commercial side in which even then he still keep a good rhyme scheme... but if ya digged into his CD's like Black Album now u'd realize even when he so called says to be retiring is still on top his game, or get Resonable doubt, in which wit out a doubt is a classic.

Diz my last post in diz thread talken bout Jigga, cuz ya just haters

the dude that started this is a dick, becoz if sales related to how good u are that would mean that nelly is better than people like talib kweli, rakim, mos def and a whole bunch other artists that are lyrically sick. And the reason eminem has sold more is becoz he's white, i aint gonna deny that he has got skills. another thing bout Jay-Z is that he dosent write his lyrics, he does it on the spot - that is talent.

he's ok, not to bad. shame he retired tho!!
