Why ISN'T Jay-Z the greatest of all-time to you guys?

[Verstyle]

Jay z is a smart man. Whoever has a hot song out jayz wants to do a remix to it. Thats how he stays relevant. Hes been on kanye nutsack for how long. Of course he gonna touch todays youth more then other rappers of his era. Also he stays true to his style bling, clothes, hoes and some dope mix into it and you get a jayz song. Hes needs to retire. He married now, not in the hood and tired of hearing about bling.

Why retirement when his albums STILL hit #1. Whatever he throws out, somebody out there likes it. I could imagine being #1 on the charts isn't easy. Especially 12 times in a row.

Black album was semi great

Semi doesn't cut it for being the greatest of all time. That was like top 5 of the year, same with Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt, but I wouldn't call any of them all time great albums. I'm not hating them. They just never hit me that hard.

Reasonable doubt is one of the three greatest hip-hop albums ever. For me, it's Illmatic, 36 Chambers, Reasonable Doubt, then Makavelli.

No.

Is that ten character's?

A lot do. Do I? Hell no, I think Barry Sanders but that's me.

I do like it more than 36 or Makavelli. I don't care what I'm supposed to agree with though. I don't care how many units an album moves when judging it's greatness.

Me neither, I'm just putting my four best albums out there.

Caus he has his fan base and he puts out the same type of music. Hes def nice. I like him but he to old to talk about the stuff that made him cool back in the day. Like a sayin I heard on the bad girl clubs watching it with da wifey. He aint about that life. Jayz is def atg but greatest na, but I guess its all on preference. Jay got the most money or second maybe behind diddy. He shy away from beef to much. When jada kiss was after him he squash it or sent the philly boyz after dblock. Only real battle he had he lost. Is he like jordan? Did he indivdually have the most impact on hip hop? Its close but Ima say na!

He's the only one still holding it down for NY in the world spotlight as a rapper. I applaud that.

Well hes a franchise my dude. He gonna do number whatever he puts out. Do you think he gets the respect he deserves in the rap game? I feel like he gets enuff. You gotta ask yourself whos your rappers favorite rapper and that should answer who is the best. They know more then us.
