Jay Z = The Best Rapper Alive?

[Doberman]

Dude got skillz. But that's a big Statement. The reason I bring it up is that there are currently TWO(2) songs on the radio. 1. Bumpin My Music- By Ray Cash ft. Scarface and Jay-Z and 2. That new Beyonce Song feat. Jay-Z.
On both of those songs , he addresses himself as the best rapper alive. Reminds me of a broad that keeps saying how pretty she is. Eventually, those comments about herself makes her look ugly. What yall think? I think not. He got flow... but not like that.

 

[RAPresentah]

he got rap in a choke hold

 

[Darkshowdown]

This is something that I will never understand. And I saw some computer ad where they called him the C.E.O of Rap music. And they called his Reasonable Doubts the greatest rap album of all times, Thats something else I never will understand.

I guess bc he records his whole album off the dome with out writting but shit Hell Rell and many others does that

 

[Doberman]

^^Yeah I just don't get it. Does not compute!

 

[ClickClack]

i dont even put jay-z in my top five...i think NAS is a way better artist than Jay

 

[realmobfather]

I was pissed when I watched some MTV2 show and it said that Gay-Z was better than Tupac.

 

[Gordon Gekko]

K-Rino > Jay-Z

 

[SocialResponsibility]

i hate him

yea, jay z sucks......hes horrible...i mean, when you drop 3-4 classic albums your overrated, period!

 

[D'struction]

He aint horrible...but by no means the best rapper alive...The best rapper alive wouldnt get straight murdered by a whiteboy on his own shit.

EDIT Unless of course the best rapper alive IS a whiteboy

 

[smigg cant rap]

I was pissed when I watched some MTV2 show and it said that Gay-Z was better than Tupac.

thats weird, i saw an mtv2 greatest mc's countdown that put pac at #1

jay-z's just bragging, many mc's in the history of hip-hop have called themselves the greatest. i personally dont get what the big deal is about him tho...he's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over-rated.

 

[J-Boy]

he would be if camron didnt come out with that hes a bitter not a writer shyt....i mean hes still good but man...thas alot of lyrics....hahah jus ma opinion...i agree with ^^^^ pac is the number 1 rapper in ma book jus cause you can feel his lyrics..but yeah once agen jus ma opinion

i think dude has a right to address himself as the best alive...like it or not he's been burning shit up for years...i used to think he was overrated...but the black album changed my mind....there are plenty of rappers who are more skilled, but i can't really think of any who are more consistant in making hits and staying relevent in hiphop...well, besides LL...his time has passed though.

 

[TROLL]

dont u have to write your own shit to be considered a rapper?

 

[Y-S]

dont u have to write your own shit to be considered a rapper?

yeah, perhaps he wrote his own shit back then, but now he's probably sick of writing on his own so he has a ghostwriter

 

[TRAJIK1]

HE'S NOT IN MY TOP 10

 

[Doit]

He's one of the few I still listen to.

 

[cbrennan04]

U dont need evidence to support that. All u have to do is listen to the songs and you'll hear him say shyt thats already been said.

 

[Sick Wid It]

Jay-Z has borrowed lines from others just like a million other rappers have. Most of them do it to pay homage (think of all the people who 'stole' or 'bit' a line from Biggie). Anyone trying to degrade that to pety lyric theft should be slapped.

A quick look at his track record proves his relevance in music and that people love him across the board. You gotta respect this dudes consistancy & accomplishments. Ain't too many cats in his league.

Domestic (U.S.) only:

Jay-Z: The Black Album - 3x million
Jay-Z: The Blueprint 2 - 3x million
Jay-Z: The Blueprint - 2x million
Jay-Z: Volume 3, Life And Times of S. Carter - 3x million
Jay-Z: Volume 2, Hard Knock Life - 5x million
Jay-Z: Volume 1, In My Lifetime - 1x million
Jay-Z: The Dynasty, Roc-La-Familia - 2x million
Jay-Z: Reasonable Doubt - 1x million
Jay-Z & Linkin Park: Collision Course - 1x million
Jay-Z & R. Kelly: Unfinished Business - 1x million
Jay-Z & R. Kelly: Best of Both Worlds - 1x million

As an artist, Jay can say he's the greatest, or one of them, all he wants.. He's earned it. And I think a lotta people hate him simply cuz so many others don't.
