Im outnumbered so it's like beating a dead horse

Yall think it's hating I think it's giving a realistic level headed perspective.

Congrats to jay but it's like a slap in the face for him to be the first cube nas pac all great writers in hip hop

It's for writers who been doing it for 20 years and it's for song writers not who's the best rapper or who impact is bigger impact.... Jay still getting plaques in 2017 for music he wrote in 2016 how is it a slap in the face

Y'all take shit wrong. I'm saying it should have been other hip hop artist in before him because they were here before him. I'm not even hating on jayz. It's like that don't want to acknowledge artist before him

 

[Olorun22]

HOV is THE Goat.... PERIOD!

Notice that the only ones that don't agree are people that don't even listen to hip hop like that.

That white kid preach2teach said Hov was riding on Linkin park success.

BOY IF YOU DON'T!!!!

Never been so insulted in my life.

I'm black. Everyone don't have him as the goat some people have raking biggie nas pac

Naw bruh when you start asking what songs has Jay wrote over years where he deserves to be in it becomes either hating or lack of knowledge at that point especially when your example is song cry I mean you DO realize they look at much more then just your singles right??? And they also judge it off of much more then who has the most heartfelt introspective story telling lyrics.... I mean he just got a platinum plaque for I got the keys and he been in this game doing that forever now.... So hate or lack of knowledge I'll let you call it

 

[metal face terrorist]

IMO Nas is a better writer than Jay. Jay is in my top 5. I just think Nas is superior and more creative.

Fetus >>>

They haven't proven to be better song writers over the same stretch of time.... It's like comparing Curry hot years of excellence to a player that was great for 20 years... No other rapper has had this kinda run of writing songs that still matter to the public both fans of that genre and outside of that genre so for that the only real choices that would make sense are him or Em

 

[BeleeDatPleighboy]

crabs in a motherfucking bucket smh

Congrats to Hov. A win for him and the culture. Like he said when Hip Hop was started them crackers thought it was fad that will die. 40yrs later it is by far the most dominant influence in GLOBAL popular culture. This win is bigger than Hov...but you fuck ass haters too busy being fucking mad to see that.

Ice cube '88 to '08 but he talked about Jews so that's why he didn't get get the first nod but I doubt he get in. I think nas is a better writer

The real funny thing is they were tryna put Em in as the first rapper but ended up voting against him for Jay.... So you ungrateful negros better be thankful becuz it was finna be much worse for us as a culture lol...

SHOF president Moran explained the process exclusively to FORBES via an email interview: “There are hundreds of writers to be considered, so the committee goes thru several rounds of cutting names until they get to the final 12 [in the performing songwriter category]. Jay Z is just the first rapper to make the final cut. There is no intention on our part to change the way we do things because we have always given writers of all genres a fair review and chance to be on the ballot. As far as Eminem goes, he is extremely qualified, but the committee felt that Jay Z was more qualified to be the first rapper to be inducted. (An interesting note there is that the committee has always been conscious of honoring the fathers before the children, so to speak. I would say it is a respect issue.) I feel very proud of the Nominating Committee to bite the bullet and to include a rapper on the ballot and even prouder of our membership who voted to induct Jay Z. It is history-making for us and our members obviously have open minds in accepting and celebrating all genres of songwriting.”

Salute to the man, even tho I feel that there are other emcees out there who deserved this honor first, I'll give credit where its due and give the brother props on the accomplishment. Hopefully it opens the doors for others in the future.

Cosign.

Great accomplishment but I would have picked LL Cool J before Jay Z

I love cube but if you think ppl was paying attention to cube in 08 outside of real hip hop fans you are really lying to yourself especially if you think he was still crafting songs worth that kind of recognition

It's 20+ years of consistency, if you don't have 20+ years of consistency you can't get in... How hard is that to understand???

Meanwhile Jay was still going multi plat with singles and album sells see the difference??? When you mix high quality song writing with success and crossing over to all genres while doing it for a longer stretch then anybody of 20 years which is the criteria you really only come down to 2 ppl Jay or Em
