Quincy kind of has a point but at the same time, he sounds like a hater lol but like with pretty much most people from other generations, he's a product of his time, & stuck in that period as well. The world changes yet it doesn't, so 40 years from now people who love Weezy may find whatever...
Not for nothing, Jay BEEN making 5 percent references. You can go back to 1998 & hear him making references to God Body. Jay come from the era when the 5 Percent Nation was popular, so it comes as no surprise to me. Everyone else is now getting hip to it (his 5 percent knowledge/references)
Gotta give credit where it's due, JD did move a lot of units & was apart of some of the most impactful moments. Especially in regards to comebacks. Usher, Mariah, he was even an unsung hero on the American Gangster album (even though Kingdom Come preceded it).
Real nigga rap is certainly back bruh. "On them cock a roaches I should do some fumigation" the way you delivered that bar was ill. Dope freestyle overall
