all of you are stupid. just downright stupid. jay-z is one of the greatest and most incredible emcees to have reached our ears. shocking? no u stupid idiots. most of u guys are probably white hip-hop conscious wannabes who only listen to kweli and the roots. let's settle it here. the roots and kweli would DREAM of doin tracks with him. wait THEY DID!! i listen only the best: de la soul, common, roots, mos, kweli, gangstarr, ghostface, gza, pharoahe monch, royce da 5'9", EVEN REALLY UNDERGROUND: illogic, cannibal ox, immortal technique, etc. AND THEY WOULD ALL LOVE TO DO A TRACK WITH JAY-Z!! WHY?! CAUSE HE IS THAT INCREDIBLE. u retards. go back to J5.

A rapper. That's all I'm going to say. Nothing positive, nothing negative.

Actually, I lied. I am going to say something positive. Jay-Z is a brilliant rapper who deserves all the credit for making rap what it was at its peak. It kind of sucks today, so I switched to hard rock, but Jay-Z made rapping acceptable when I was into it. He was the best damn rapper anyone's ever come up with, and I salute him.

He's an overrated rapper but he's not wack .He's a good buisness man (like Puffy)but U can't compare him to neither of the best rapper(2pac,Biggie.NaS,Rakim).He maybe had alot of commercial succes but that doesn't mean a rapper is good.Look at Illmatic not alot of commercial succes but one of the best album.Yeah he switched to a more pop style,but you've got to look a the best of Jay-Z .
There's 2 kind of critics

-He sucks ,he's bad 'he's commercial and bla bla
-He's the f*cking best rapper alive ouhhhhhhhhhhh
4 people who saying he sucks ...Dude stop acting tough and go back play with your barbie
4 Those who say :"HE'S THE FUCKING BEST "Did you listen to another rapper to real legend before saying someone is the best try to listen to everything

My point is he's overrated but he's not bad and I have no problem for putting it in the top 10 (I'm kind of good ) but #1 ...NO

A poser that was actually good with Biggie, but when he got shot, he resorted to performing with white boy pop artists, underground rock bands, and soft charcoal reggae musicians. He also performs with Beyonce, which wasn't that good anyway, since all he raps about with her is about his daughter. Was in a feud with Nas, which then ended with Jay-Z being owned on God's Son, which was a diss tape directed towards him, his producers, and his girlfriend-to-be-wife Beyonce. He was so embarrassed apparently that he was angry when he wrote his own diss tape, it fucking sucked monkey cock. Has lately collaborated with Justin Bieber, which proves he sucks even more, as he needs anything to retain his reputation as the wealthiest rap artist in the world. What better way to extort money from 7 year olds? Basically this guy needs to work with more rap artists instead of little spoiled brats, 18 year old wannabes

gay version of jay-z

Linkin Park is a band that developed a huge fan base around 2000 with the hit single "One Step Closer". Many dismissed the band at first, but the few that did listen, pushed it on their friends, and those that listened to the whole CD, were awe struck with the different emotions the band could bring out.

From the "raps" Mike Shinoda threw down in "Place for My Head" to the wave of fans that were drawn by the voice of Chester Bennington in "Crawling", Linkin Park could appeal to every fan in the world. They became a music phenomenon, that quickly became amazing. Hybrid Theory, their first album, contained 12 tracks.

Re-Animation, their next album, remixed all 12 songs, and was released the next year. Many other artists appeared on the CD, working with the band to make the songs the fans loved, that much better. Some fans didn't agree with the decision, simply hoping for a new album, and disregarded it immediately.

Meteora was released the following year in 2003, and the fan base just grew more and more. The song "Somewhere I Belong" grabbed most fans, but some again disregarded them as an "emo" band.

{"Emo" had become a popular and stupid term around the time, as every single "new" band seemed to come out with the same tired LP wanna-be songs, that screamed and yelled the WHOLE song, and had nothing to offer.}

Regardless, the fans stuck to the band they loved. The song they released next was called "Faint". This song was nowhere near 'emo' and was not even...
