Jay Z pisses me off, all he does is rap about himself, from how he was born, to how no one was as great as him, and even how no one will be better than him. Like 90-100% of the songs on the Black Album are like that, and so are the new songs with him and Linkin Park.

Listen to Reasonable Doubt. The whole album is incredible, sans "Ain't no N*gga", but if I had to pick to songs peep D'Evils and Regrets and maybe Brooklyn's Finest. The man is talented.

Yeah, he can do wrong - he can start rapping. He's a horrible rapper - on the same level as Nelly and Ja Rule.

Um... its his last album you tard! Its suppose to be like his autobiography of this is how I got here and this is how it ended. The black album was awesome, the new one with linkin park is just a mix of linkin park songs and jay-z songs no new songs.

You have no sense of what is good rap. Jay Z's flow and delivery is top notch. Many rappers have copied his cadence with little success.

You could probably name 30 other rappers that are just as good or better than Jay Z, but in no way is Jay Z horrible in any sense of the word.

My favorite from Reasonable Doubt is -- 22 Two's. Anybody who thinks Jay Z lacks skill as a rapper hasn't listened to this song.

22 Two's is definitely a hot song, amazing how he incorporated all those twos without sounding stale.

I thought he was already the founder of Roc-A-Fella records... is that just part of Def Jam or something?

Him and Damon Dash (Co-founder) actually sold their share 50 percent stake in Roc-A-Fella to Def Jam. (who had owned the other 50 percent) for 10 million dollars in the last week or so.

OMG it's his last album!?!?! Actors don't do a biography of themselves before the quit the industry, I would respect the album so much more if he did something other than a tribute to himself, maybe the same formula he used to be the rapper he is/was. Tributes should be done by people who respect what he did, not himself.

Roc-A-Fella was part of Def Jam. It's like how Death Row was part of Interscope.

Dumbass, why do you think he refers to himself as 'Hova? Jehova. Get it now?

It's his mentality and look where it's got him. You a little jealous?

Kanye West is full of himself and he has 10 Grammy nominations.
Those that hate on Jay Z for talking about himself a bit are jealous.

when you control that much wealth and your posse is that big, i think you can be president of any company you want. :)
