A MC who is easily in the top 25 of all time. A great rapper, hailing from BKNY. Has one definite classic album, called "Reasonable Doubt". Easily a 10/10 album, comparable to other great albums such as Illmatic, Criminal Minded, 36 Chambers, Capital Punishment, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor and Dangerous, ect.
Many of you people have only heard his commercial bullshit, which, granted, isn't great. He made a line to describe what ya'll hearing.
"I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars."
Go cop Reasonable Doubt, and as someon else said, the 7 Minute Freestyle with Big L.
Stop being biased morons, and actually listen to more than Ether. Recognize an amazing flow and creative lyrics. And someone who has been around.
Can't Knock The Hustle

I'm makin short term goals, wonder whether foes
just put away the leathers and put ice on the gold
chilly with enough bail money to free a big willy
high stakes, i got more at stake than philly
shoppin sprees, copin three, duece fever i guess its fully loaded,
ah yes, bouncin in the lex luger, tires smoke like buddha
50 g's to the crap shooter,
niggas can't fade me
chrome socks beamin, through my periphial i see ya schemin
stop dreamin',i leave ya body steamin
niggas is feenin, whats the meanin
i'm leanin on any nigga intervenin with the sound of my money machine-in
my cuff runnin over with hundreds
im one of the best niggas that done it
six digits and runnin,
y'all niggas don't want it
i got the godfather flow, the don juan demarco
swear to god, don't get it fucked up
Brooklyn's Finest (no biggie)

Peep the style and the way the cops sweat us (uh-huh)
The number one question is can the Feds get us (uh-huh)
I got vendettas in dice games against ass betters (uh-huh)
and niggaz who pump wheels and drive Jettas
Take that witcha..
.. can't fade it
While y'all pump Willie, I run up in stunts silly
Scared, so you sent your little mans to come kill me
But on the contrilli, I packs the mack-milli
Squeezed off on him, left them paramedics breathin soft on him
What's ya name?
What? Keep rockin
No more, Mister, Nice Guy, I twist your shit
the fuck back with them pistols, blazin
Hot like cajun
Hotter than even holdin work at the Days Inn
with New York plates outside
Get up outta there, fuck your ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For nine six, the only MC with a flu
Yeah I rhyme sick, I be what you're tryin to do
Made a fortune off Peru, extradite, china white heron
Nigga please, like short sleeves I bear arms
Stay out my way from here on (CLEAR?) Gone!
(some consider this to be a freestyle, not known if it really is)
Dead Presidents II

who wanna bet us that we don't touch lettuce,
stack cheddars forever,
live treacherous, all the etceteras,
to the death of us, me and my confidants
we shine, you feel the ambiance
y'all niggas just rhyme,
by the ounce doe accumulates like snow,
we dont just shine, we illuminate the whole show,
ya feel me?,
factions from the other side would love to kill me,
spill 3 quarts of my blood into the street, let alone the heat,
fuck 'em, they hate a nigga lovin his life,
in all possible ways, know the feds is buggin my life,
hospital days, reflectin with my man laid up,
on a uptown hot block, he got his side sprayed up,
I saw his life slippin, this is a minor setback,
yo still in all we livin, just dream about the getback,
that made him smile though his eye said "pray for me",
I'll do you one better and slay these niggas faithfully,
murder is a tough thing to digest, its a slow process,
and I aint got nothing but time,
I had near brushes, not to mention,
3 shots close range, never touched me,
divine intervention cant stop I,
from drinking mataje, with tata, down in nevada, ha ha pa pa,
word life, by dabbling crazy weight,
without rap I was crazy straight, what...
'Cause game recognize game :O

A horrible rapper who is too old to be in the industry any more. Cam'ron has proven this perfectly in his song "You Got to Love It", in which he mentions when Jay Z wore open toe sandals with jeans(how gangster is that?). Jay Z also tries to act cool when he is in his 40's.
Jay Z is a discrase to the New York Jets and the teams fans(like myself), and should never wear any Jets memorabilia again.

Blasee"YAWN" Unoriginal,contrived,over-sampled or"stolen. "Actually go back before Biggie or Nas to EPMD and the father, Rakim to when there was actually a DJ with talent, to find this sound." Money he Got all good.
But get him off my t.v. and papers.
Donald trump and David Gates have Mad money and I love them. They earned it through being innovative. This cat should be out in the subways with a hat and a harmonica.

Jay-Z is, in my opinion, one of the greatest rappers alive. On the streets of 'project' he was called jayhovawhich is what the jews call God i.e. he is refered to the 'God of rap' on da street. Was closely associated with Biggy small and is one of the best lyricists in the wake of his death. Teamed up with Dameon Dash to create Rocafella, his own label, which has been a huge success. Claimed that the Black album was going to be his last and that he would retire. The next year he makes a remix of the Black Album's best songs with Linkin Park, the gay boys. The Blueprint is Hov's best album, bar non and the Dynasty is pretty good as well. Long Live Hova!
