How is Jay Z so popular?

[BudAshes]

He raps like a mumbling old man, hes kind of ugly and he can't sing. I must be missing something.

 

[HannibalX]

I don't _____ feed them.

 

[Tristicus]

Jay-Z is one of the more competent rappers.

The better question is, why are these fuck tards like souljaboy and lilwayne popular.

 

[Blackjack200]

12 AM on my way to the club
1 AM DJ made it a rub
2 AM now I'm getting with her
3 AM now I'm splitting with her
4 AM at the waffle house
5 AM now we at my house
6 AM I be digging her out
6:15 I be kicking her out
7 AM Imma call my friends
12 AM we gonna do it again

The man is clearly a genius.

QFT.

He is a poet, not some cheap thug gangsta rapper.

So because he is better than trash that makes him deserving?

This thread is deserving.

No need to look further, you won't find anything.

Competent to stand trial maybe.

I really don't like lil wayne all that much but the guy has some talent, you've got to admit it. soulja boy on the other hand, completely worthless shit.

Jay Z is a lyrical genius, I think a lot of his fame surrounds the 'beef' between him and NAS who is also on the same level lyrically.

 

[Crono]

Collaborations.

I don't see him being that great a rapper, honestly.
Well, maybe compared to some of the other top mainstream rappers, yeah.

lol


Talent for being a felon? THUG LIFE YO!

 

[BlueAcolyte]

Smart guy. Plus, I actually like some of his music, sounds like old rap music, which is the only good kind.

 

[alevasseur14]

I like Jay-Z because I can understand him. I mean, understand the words. My roommie listens to rap almost exclusively and I have no idea what they are saying most of the time. Jay-Z just flows really well in his rhymes.

I actually didn't listen to anything of his after the Black Album because he made such a big deal of retiring. If he was going to make such a huge deal out of retiring and what the rap scene was going to do without him, I didn't need to support him when he came out of retirement. However, the roommie had me listen to Blueprint 3 in his car and I couldn't say no. Run This Town and Empire State of Mind are amazing songs on just about any level.

So there ya have it, why Jay-z is so popular according to Adam.

The guy grew up in the hood and now has more than all of ATOT combined. He has the best selling rap album of 2008. He moved 1,000,000 copies in one week.

And how he records is amazing too. He does that same no paper rhyme that Jay does. Pretty amazing.

In the words of Jay himself: "men lie, women lie, numbers don't"

 

[Corporate Thug]

As far as jay is concerned, "and all you other cats throwing shots at jigga, you only get half a bar, fuck ya'll __________"

It's clever lines like that and a solid flow that make him so damn good. And he's an amazing performer live, which is lost on most rappers.

I have no justification for souljaboy.

His earlier cd's were classics. His last 5 have been dog shit

 

[MrMatt]

then again no one can stand up to this

Best rapper ever. Holy shit I will buy anything he ever appears on till the day I day. LIL B 4 LyFe Yo.

Your assumption that I believe that any form of rap that isn't gangster rap is deserving is false.

And judging from your tone of response, everyone can clearly see you're narrow-minded and unappreciative of other people's opinions. Enjoy.

 

[Corporate Thug]

And now he's in jail.

Pretty amazing. Thug life yo. What a worthless sack of shit.

yes he is. it's not a life sentence...he'll be out soon enough and making music again. going to jail doesn't make you a worthless sack of shit, IMO.

At least there will be a 1 year hiatus on new garbage from him on my radio
