Jay Z's longevity, rap's Madonna

[Pervis]

I don't respect it at all. I remember Prodigy saying in a interview he couldn't believe it when he first heard Jay taking shots at him because everyone knew Jay never had his own style. Nobody really respected him. Look at how quickly he changed his style from all that iggety spigetty riggedy wack as fuck shit pre-95. That's all he's ever done - follow trends. He's the biggest trend follower ever seen in rap. If it's not Pharrell he's tagging along with, then it's Rhianna, or Beyonce, or Kanye, or Justin. It goes all the way back to kane to Irv to big just like nawse said. He sells tons of records but his albums aint even that good anymore. He's had 1 good albums since 2004. The sheep just still keep buying that shit though.

Rap's Madonna? terrible comparison

Madonna can't sing. Jay can rap.

 

[Lebong James]

good comparison tbh, both are overrated

@Pervis I was looking at it from a commercial point of view. I deliberately didn't talk about the quality of his music. Notice how I spoke on how he forges contacts and loses dead weight.

Jigga latching on to whatever is hot is the reason he's one of the richest, most successful rappers to date.

Rap's Madonna? terrible comparison

Madonna can't sing. Jay can rap.

Only in your mind. They both attach themselves to artists that are hot at that moment to remain relevant. Step your posting game & reading comprehension up.

Backhanded compliment haha.

Jay remains relevant because of himself, not because he latches on to whoever is hot....

I had to wack this post. Why is he sad according to you. You can't just make these statements without substantiating them.

read what the guy above me said and then read a definition of sarcasm, then take away that "wack" and smack yourself in the face
