If Jay died today..

[stealthbomber]

If Jay-Z died today(God forbid) and all the radio stations would pay respect by playing all his hit songs which song would be his defining song?

Even though its not his best song I think it would be Public Service Annoucement

my nigga cmon tho. if anything its gonna be dead presidents II or aint no love

 

[ROFL.GUY]

that alicia keys song he was featured on it was the most succesful single hes been apart of .......

 

[Colin$mackabi$h]

big pimpin, h to the izzo, excuse me miss

 

[H-Rap 180]

Empire State of Mind.

 

[opiie562]

Hard knock life........................

 

[Mrslim1]

Unlike alot of rapper he has to many hits to have one defining song .

 

[usmarin3]

Mainstream radio would be EMPIRE STATE OF MIND, urban radio would probably be JIGGA, WHAT'S MY NAME.

 

[DatNiggaB1]

Depends who the radio playing too, if it's pop I would say Big Pimpin or Hard Knock Life..............I DJ on radio and the first track I would play if he died would be Cant Knock The Hustle.

Unlike alot of rapper he has to many hits to have one defining song .

really? for havin 11 albums he only has 1 #1single on the hot 100 and that was a alicia keys song

 

[young_reezy]

"There's been a murder" - my favorite jay-z song

hot 100 dont mean shit. we all know hot many hits jay really got

Number one songs I feel u , but that doesnt mean the other songs werent hits . For example Stevie Wonder , Sade , Temptations etc had so many great songs , most which didnt go number one , that u couldnt define them on just one song .

 

[reggie g]

Easy, it would be "Lost Ones".

 

[thewave19]

If Jigga died today he would all of a sudden get the posthumous praise and excessive dickriding tupac gets

Difference is jigga is a talented mc and would have actually earned it unlike pac

I dont know what song would be define him he has way to many,thats like lookin for a needle in a 200 foot haystack

He wouldnt so you can convince yourself the devil worshipper will all you want

 

[antarticp]

your prob right about that one ... it throws me off to hear him say that in his opinion Big Pimpin was his biggest record ... ive always been like wtf lol .. but hes prob basing it off of #'s

pac has more memorable songs/hits than jay and he was 22yrs younger than jay and only put out half the albums jay did

 

[Beta]

my nigga cmon tho. if anything its gonna be dead presidents II or aint no love

Thing is, I made a mistake by saying his most defining song. I shoulda said what song would you hear coming from speakers every where on that day. PSA, You dont know, or Dead presidents II

 

[BeleeDatPleighboy]

Id Say he has two

Cant Knock The Hustle and Dead Presidents

Cause if you think about his career and the theme around these two songs....

they ARE who Jay is/portrays...

A hustler who is bout his paper.....

 

[thewave19]

Pac also was a wack mc who got merked,always in the news for court,raping a woman gettin shot,goin to jail etc

Jigga never needed the sideshow antics to get noticed

His music and talent is why he's one of the goats unlike pac who's controversy is the reason why people praise him cuz pacs music is garbage

U fail and just continue to keep trying
