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.
Yeah their was an old show taped in like 2002-2003 The Top 20 MC's of all time and on that list Tupac was #1 and Gay-Z was like 4 or something. But they made a new list of like the top ten rappers or something and Tupac was #2 and Gay-Z was one.

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.

I doubt all thoses records sold is true.

If Tupac had only sold 26 million how could Gay-Z sell 23 mil?

Jay-Z is considered to be an artist of greatness because that's the opinion of the majority, including many of the most well-respected figures in music and his peers. If you think you can chalk it up as brainwashing, you're an idiot.

Yeah, have you ever heard that track they made with Camron doing the exact same thing? What an embarassment for Cam to run his mouth about Jay and then get punked the exact say way.

Go to www.riaa.com and see the numbers for yourself. It's not like Jay-Z's success is some big secret anyway. It's really just a small handful of you (by comparison) that refuse to accept it.

Exactly...

And all the "Greatest MC alive" bullshit...is really just opinion....so in all honesty....the arguement is completely irrelevent....

BTW...ive never got into Jay's shit...but i recognize talent when i hear it....and he has a shitload of it....

I looked at that site so I guess it real......but Who da hell is buying his cds? I don't know anyone that bangs his shit...

And Tupac has 36.5 - so if you fags go by sales Tupac is still #1.

Fuck Gay-Z.

MOST OF YOU CATS PROBABLY NEVER EVEN REALLY LISTENED TO REASONABLE DOUBT.

JAY-Z IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. PERIOD.


No doubt. People that disagree probably don't listen to him, and are judging off of what they hear on the radio.

Jay makes it seem more effortless than any Emcee I've ever heard, he found the perfect balance IMO, making great records without sacrificing lyricism...

You cats are ignorant, and its always the people who haven't even really listened to the music, who are the most opinionated.


Jay is the best rapper alive. PERIOD

^ I'd bet money that most of the people who replied in this thread ( thats who I was reffering to...not every single person on Earth who dislikes his music ) haven't even heard enough of his music to give an honest unbiased opinion.

I could care less what others opinions are...but thanks for the concern.

only jay-z album i purchased was the black album..did not like it...
his best album, and one of the greatest hip hop albums is reasonable doubt..who hasn't heard about jay-z the man was in the media since 96! you couldn't escape it! lol so i think people can make a fair assesment based on that imo...
is he the greatest rapper alive? no...
is he the most successful rapper alive..maybe...
but also, what are we basing this on? what makes someone the greatest rapper alive?
