why was jay-z such a late bloomer?

[thecomebacklegend]

He had to reinvent himself, he was the goofy dude from Jaz-O's videos, then he went to do his own thing. He had to put in work and learn how to make hits. Kinda like Rick Ross, he was nobody for a long time, reinvented himself, learned how to make hits and now he's one of the biggest namesin rap. Nowadays rappers only need a catchy song to make it big (temporarily), there's no real struggle involved.

so u r saying he had 2 wait 4 pac 2 be gone 2 get his shine

Great way to dance roun da question my G, guess u took up ballet like ur boy P nd pac as well.... Cool!

i didn't dance around your question, you asked the point and i told you. i made an observation and i made a thread about it. it was relevant because everybody is talking about jay whether it be good or bad.

you're just a hurt jay-z stan who's bringing up pac and p's dance classes to defend your lord and savoir jigger king, when facts are being stated.

is this a why didnt Jay get signed when he was younger thread? if so then it's a legitimate thread. anything else seems baseless

Just like every other rapper it took him time to find his style and what works for them. If you listen to Biggie, he wasn't on that Frank White shit, if you listen to Pac he wasn't on no gangsta shit at the beginning. The only reason why Jay gets the criticism he does because he is the only one from back then who lasted and have all this success, people are looking for some dumb reason for why he is here today other than the nigga can rhyme his ass off.

You ask these haters why Jay is successful, they will say he bit Kane, Jaz, Biggie, Nas,etc style.

now if ur honest with urself u can admit that he did. Add Young Chris to the list as well. The other artist u named when already popular and established after they switched it up as well so there is no real comparison with Jay. And as long as Pac and Big were alive Jay would have been stuck in the same position.

 

[Who Cares???]

I can't really call it. But I honestly don't think duke even cares about when he made his impact compared to how it unfolded. Look at Wayne. You think he cares that the only reason niggas outside his area cares about his early existence was because of Juvenile? Or that he could only go Gold when rap was shitting platinum plaques? He'd probably laugh in your face and say look at me now. Jay is on some outer space shit. The only living nigga from his era who can still sell over a mil and fill any arena in any state. I can't incorporate female feelings when the truth is staring in my face. Duke is unbelievable.
