One the best rappers in Hip-Hop history. Born and raised in Marcy Projects located in Bed-stuy Brooklyn, he picked up the torch for NYC and for Brooklyn after the death of the Notorious BIG was murdered. Know for being one of the most consistant rappers in Hip-hop, putting out a new album every year in his career. Jay-Z left his mark on Hip-Hop with classic LP's like Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album. Jay-Z is idolized by many of rap musics biggest names, as some refer to him often and even sample his voice in their songs. Jay-Z is a trend-setter and a very smart business man, owning numorous companys, and endorsing many products. Jay-Z's retirement concert which took place in Madison Square Garden sold out in minutes which is unheard of for Hip-Hop. Jay-Z sold out the concert singlehandedly, being the only performer scheduled to perform that night. Jay-Z is certainly one of best, if not the best rapper to ever grace the mic.

Deformed druggie-turned-rapper who's head resembles a potato. Has very oversized lips and penis. Prefers to rap about what Joel Madden might refer to as 'girls, cars and money'. Is, at the time of writing, fucking R&B hottie Beyonce, who probably only went out with him out of sympathy in the first place. Has just destroyed the amazing works of rockers Linkin Park.

Get the jay-z mug.A rapper who only raps about his money. Looks like somebody took a shit, put it through a meat-grinder, dressed it up in a suit, hat, and jewelry to make it "iced out", and named it Jay-Z. As a matter of fact, this is how Jay-Z came into existence. Also known as Gay-Z. Calls himself "Tha Jigga". I prefer to call him "Jigger the gay Nigger"
A sample of Jay-Z rapping:
Jay-Z: Rockafella! Swiss beats! Nigga what! Ya heard? Jigga! Jiggaman! UH! What! Jiggaman! Money! I gotz money! Iced out! Jigga! Iced out!

Get the Jay-Z mug.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.

Get the Jay-Z mug.This is in response to Da yAy. Does he really not rap only about money? Let's analyze his lyrics, the one you posted.
"I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent"
-Rappin about how he had no money yet
"Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollerin? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in"
-Rapping about getting money
"By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me - I'm awkward, I box leftier often"
-Rappin about how "hard" he is
"My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown; 'specially on nights
I brought somethin home to quiet the stomach rumblings"
-Rappin about his shitty childhood
"My demeanor - thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin green up"
-Rapping about making money
"Raisin my fingers to critics; raisin my head to the sky
Big I did it - multi before I die (nigga)"
-Rapping about making money
Alright, I stand corrected. Between all the times he raps about his money, he throws a line or two in there about his shitty childhood and about how hard he is. Big difference!
