Is JAY-Z Past His Prime As A Recording Artist?

[rip.dilla]

The Blueprint would have been a 5 MIC-er in my eyes but you know dude and jumping on whoever's hot at the moment (Eminem '00-01)

He called Eminem on that album, dude outspit him with a beat that didn't fit the flow of the album

?

Jay-Z is past his prime, but i do think he has it in him for one more good album.

I think Jay could do something amazing with the right inspiration.

..............

And i say that because his verses on The Joy, So Appalled, Monster and Shiny Suit Theory came out last year, which really isn't a long time.

Just me though

But he could live as a destitute for say a month and make an album from that perspective

American Gangster is/was overrated as fuck

 

[Soho Fresco]

Wait a minute?..I thought it was obvious that Jay been pass his prime years ago, good thread.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

basically the nigga made that shit just on some humbug shit...like i said if u listen to the shit,n watch the movie, track for track, in order, it could b a soundtrack to the movie....from seeing the need to rise,to the rise, the good times, the bad times, the fall

And Usmarin i always said Ludacris and Redman are better at doing the Slim Shady type animation Song's better it comes more natural to them while with Slim Shady it seems forced and too Shocking

However only 2pac comes close to Eminem when it comes to making Deep Introperspective Emotional/Personal Song's about life experiences

But when it comes to Rappers who predominantly Rap about Selling Coke, Materalism and Money the likes of Reakwon, Styles P, T.I., Beanie Sigel, Rick Ross, Ghostface, Pusha T, Notorious B.I.G. etc always been better than Jay Z IMO

this is one of your worst posts and that is saying something.

 

[rip.dilla]

The film was wack too IMO

These 2 Verses are between So-so and wack. A good line or 2 in So Appalled.

"Just my thoughts..."

Definitely. Just something to inspire introspection and clarity and new concepts.

 

[opiie562]

can we all agree Eminem's verses on Renegade were incredible.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Roc Boyz goes so hard. That beat is incredible......... Jay killed the verse....
