dont get me wrong my fav Jay album is RD, but i think its a strong core of his fanbase that are 30+ like myself that love that album, but dont wanna hear 10 albums RD or AG.

uhh he has never switched up the contnet

just the beats

his albums are a perfect example of what kind of music is hot @ the time then he follows it..

jay has never been a leader/trend setter musically just a follower chasing dollars

or the "i dont wanna hear this nigga keep talkin bout crack sells " crowd.

Yet he talks about selling crack in nearly every song, its just that rather than delve deeper into the social ills of it like he did on D'evils or Allure, he now just references it as a way to brag.

I think garv has covered it already:

Taking a cue from one of his songs:

You cats need to chill with the bashing of rappers. If you don't like the rapper's music, why comment on it? Jay isn't Nas & Nas isn't Jay. No one asked Chuck Dee why didn't he rap like Big Daddy Kane. Everyone is different so accept the facts.

People used to debate over who was better between Kane and Rakim, though, all the time.

If Jay Z wants to be considered the GOAT then it is fair to question why he can't make a song like 'Nasty' in 2011.

Why can't Nas make good commercial records?

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Why can't Nas make good commercial records for the radio?

Fixed for accuracy. And Nas did make good commercial records...he's not Jay-Z. They're two different artists on two different paths of musical vision/lyrics and tastes.

Which is exactly the point i was trying to make, niggas need to stop these dumb ass threads with hidden agendas and just like what you like.
