Why is everyone so obsessed with Jay-Z?

[supern0va_]

yeah it's a bit much, but he's the biggest rapper out right now so it should be expected.

 

[5th Letter]

Thats how it's always been here.

 

[stoneface]

Yeah, I feel you. I just respect him as a dope MC who makes dope music, that's it. I could give a fuck about his personal life.

Cosign

Jay's my favorite rapper, and Ive made maybe 1 thread about dude since I joined well over a year n a half ago. Dude's on here are ridiculous, especially the haters because they come in every thread and spark bullshit assumptions about a man's personal life that they know nothing about. Niggas hate Jay so much they think the very fact that he's successful means he's apart of illumanti, and it doesnt matter what anyone says to dispel it as bullshit they still believe. Crabs in a barrell.

 

[Question Authority]

What I've noticed is that Jay-Z seems to be the go-to guy when you wanna know good certain rappers are.

He's used as like the standard in which other artists are measured against...if you measure up against Jay, then you're good. If you don't measure up, then you need to step up your game.

I happen to disagree on both ends...but if you notice the pattern, it's mostly just the stans that allude to such shit.

 

[rip.dilla]

The old IC was shut down because of JIGGAMANIA... smh

The man is the biggest shit out there now, he's successful, he's famous, he's sold millions of albums and most importantly he's banging one of the most beautiful women in the world (????have my doubts)... so yeah this is the reality and niggas is gonna hate.

Me... I don't give a flying Boeing 747 fcuk about dude... he's just like any other rapper to me...

 

[traestar]

I have to agree with mryounggun

 

[SoulRattler of Venom]

No one else is doing anything. No one's obsessed with Jay-Z but if he's the only person doing anything worthy of talking about, what do you expect?

 

[sTaY_TrUe]

Yeah, I feel you. I just respect him as a dope MC who makes dope music, that's it. I could give a fuck about his personal life.

It fluctuates from Nas, Em, Pac, Biggie and Jay type threads. Niggas think by using their names threads will do numbers which is complete false, a whack thread is a whack thread no matter what name is in the title.

 

[a.mann]

could be........

 

[just.might.b.ok]

i like his music, and thats pretty much it i couldnt care less about his life and shit

 

[dontdiedontkillanyon]

He has cola flavoured camel nipples

 

[kingblaze84]

What should we expect? Jay is the greatest rapper alive right now....Eminem never got too much love here, or attention. He does occassionally, but never on Jay's level. Drake was getting a lot of threads at one point but as I have pointed out, his buzz is starting to die down cuz he has no fucking single. And his album was supposed to drop in February??? Wow.....sad. 50 flopped soo.....TI is in a halfway house.....Wayne is in jail.....Jay is really the only thing popping right now. Being the best alive means you're going to get the most attention....simple as that.

Because Jay got the suburbs on lock. His albums are mediocre but they all still go to number one and reach platinum because of his commercial power. Mainstream Amerika are playing his shit continuously on TV and forcing this "greatest of all time" bullshit down our throats, so the mindless sheep repeat it on forums like this cause they don't get to hear nothing else. Jay aint nowhere near the greatest or most skilled, but he is the most commercially successful.

 

[kirkangil]

Its always been this way since the beginning of the ill community way back when it was a zillion jay vs nas threads.

Its actually calmed down a bit it used to be much worse.

Jay isn't even the most commercially successful.

He's just the most visible due to his releasing albums so frequently and his ventures outside of the hip hop realm.

nas is better .................Ether shit that makes your soul burn slow
