yeah but wouldn't that be backwards considering how many ppl say Jay done fell off since the Black Album... like wouldn't Wayne, Kanye, and Em, hell even for a stretch, 50 hold bigger cases as heads of hip hop then Jay
he might of fell of as an artist, however he more famous now than he was back then....
his fanbase had changed over the years, he appeals to mid 30 white people who never listened to hip hop before, they have no knowledge of his past music, all they know is "Empire State Of Mind" and "Forever Young" etc...
X went at Em on the low, back in the day, but Em being a white dude doesnt dictate what black men rap about...
Wayne, Kanye are all seeds of Jay z....
Jay is the regime, he is the icon for the current set of rappers who rap about wealth and cars and hoes.
I feel what X is saying, maybe 8-9 years ago X wud have handled Jayz, but as an artist X has not been on point, which is a shame,
But i respect the point X is making, maybe saying FUCK JAYZ is not the way to go about it, but X was never one to hpld back, same nigga who said "that Nigga 2pac can suck my dick"
