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

[choppa_style]

Hell yeah...Jay's last album in '08 was only his 11th #1, had 5 hit singles, including his first #1 single, won a bunch of awards, had a best selling book, slayed everyone with his guest appearances in '09 and '10, has one of the most anticipated albums of '11 and is nowhere close to slowing down.

That camel faced fool needs to hang that shit up...

SMH @ Shawn Knowles being 73 rapping about nobody got a wheelchair game like him....fuck that old nigga....retire, bitch!!!

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Yes..and no.

 

[garv]

Take what the forbes figured then figure more/Cuz they forgot to account what I did wit the raw

Pick a time lets pick apart some stores/Pick a weekend for freakin for figure fours

I figured Frauds never hit a lick before/ so they dont know the feelin when them thangs get across(direct shot at the t/s and people of his ilk)

Put ya hand out the window feel the force/Feel the porshe/hit defrost/Ice cold/ jewels got no flaws/drop got no top

Lmao @ jigga fallin off or past his prime

Lmao Jigga been rapping about dope since 96, obviously its not about the content, there must be something t/s genuinely feels is wrong with Jigga as a rapper nowadays.

Smh at Camel man acting like he made mills of moving food as well.

Jiggas music aint made for geeks like the t/s

Roc boys goes completely over this cats head he cant relate

This cat dont know nothin about standin on tables in 07 while your aura is being glorified and females stand in awe soaked while u holdin fistfuls of cash in one hand wit a liter of grey goose in the other

Hov dont make music for your kind

Thats the bottom line

Lol @ JayZ not making music for geeks. That's actually his main audience, white boys and females. NO street niggas fuck with Jay at all. None at all nigga. After Ether most people left him alone, and after TBA his career was on the downfall. He's finished.

Now he's forced to hold on to Kanye for relevance.

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

lol

Any true Jay-z fan knows that Jay-z has fallen off badly.

Cosign. If JayZ is losing to Kanye track after track, then it should be obvious that he fell the fuck off.

 

[colton]

IMO with tha MC'ing I say No, but musically his last two out of three LP's excluding AG wasn't cuttin' it too much for me hopefully Watch The Throne is sick

 

[nujerz84]

yeah he fell off...it was bound to happen

Whats funny nigga Roc Boyz was dope.....

 

[Mr.Audigier216]

I don't fraternize wit whiteboys enough to engage their opinions on hip hop

so I wouldn't know if thats his main audience,any rapper who sells a lot of records has a white audience

I was specifically talkin about the t/s and all the other lames who can't relate to jay-z

Lol @ No street niggas bump jigga

U sonned ya self wit thats all the streets bump is ross,jeezy,gucci,wayne and jigga

Dont know what streets u be on I'm speaking from what I see in the hood

Have to agree....every nigga I know who REALLY make money hand over fist fuck with HOV tough.....

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

lol who the fuck dont listen to Jay all the drug dealers i know bump him religiously but whatever........

 

[Mr.Audigier216]

lol who the fuck dont listen to Jay all the drug dealers i know bump him religiously but whatever........

Man I ain't met a nigga selling hard, soft, pills, or weed that dnt fuck with "Say Hello"

 

[Niggas back]

He passed his prime, but still better than ur fav rapper

 

[_Ozymandias_]

Past his Prime? YUP! But I dont think he has fallen off completely i just dont think hes inspired and Aint no young buck making him up his game. I think Hov is still capable of a Game changing album but somebody is going to really have to shake shit up in rap. But thats not gonna happen so its w/e.......

i completely agree. it's clear that jay is past his prime, but what really sad is that he's still better than most of the rappers out right now. so the real question is what does that say about the rap game?

 

[Mr.Audigier216]

Exactly

that's why I said he sonned himself,where Im from jay-z still gets played

the whole "Jigga is wack/fell off/old/past his prime" u ONLY hear on the ic by lames wit agendas

I was on the block last night and some nigga was bumpin psa and who u wit loud as fuck

bra.....my nigga picked me up the other day bumpin "Imaginary Players"....talkin bout "lets go to the club n expose these Imaginary Players actin like they gettin money"...lol...i died

 

[Gangsta Shit]

nigga been done

 

[garv]

Smh at a man who was never even a successful drug dealer gassing you impressionable young fools to sell drugs, its clear Jay still appeals to the suburban crackas and wotless black bums with a lack of a father figure in their lifes.
