Sean Carter other wise known as Jay-Z,Hova,young hova,Jay-hova,S.Carter or Jigga is one of the most brilliant rappers in the history of hip hop. His endless flow, deep lyrics, and ofcourse his brillance sets him apart from the commercial and overated mainstream hip hop artists today. To me, and to many, Jay-Z's lyrics are couragess and some are just down right touching. He tells his story on a level of brilliance and meaningfullness that surpasses the crap and stupid shit people are now calling hip hop. Some people don't know what he is talking about or dont understand his lyrics but that is clearly a case of ignorance or those kinds of people just need to really listen to his lyrics although it is understandable that poeple could be baffled by his greatness and the heavyness of his words. Despite all of this, Jay-Z has maintainded a small head which he carries quite well on his shoulders. He is the current president and CEO of Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella Records. If anyone in this fucked up world has any sense he will go down in history as one of the greatist rappers that has ever walked the face of this earth.
I love Izzo,Regrets,Renegade featuring Eninem,and 99 problems. The Grey Album shows off Jay-Z's creativity and the layering of music is crazy.

Get the jay-z mug.
a black rapper who is actually better than what people judge him by. they usually listen to his mainstream songs which aren't that great lyrically, but have a good beat.

people don't listen to his good songs where he raps out multis like every second.

to all the people that hate jay-z or eminem, listen to the song "renegade", or at least look up the lyrics.

A skillful MC with questionable street credibility.

He has skills, no doubt and industry didn't see it until 1996 and Reasonable Doubt was released.

Jay-Z's street credibility is damaged by these considerations:
1) The girl that he was with before he blew up was extremely ugly.("Song Cry") If he slanged coke and was big time hustler, this wouldn't make sense. Maybe he liked her point of view? probably not because Jay is a superficial MOFO.
2) Un Rivera's deposition, I have read it, suggest that Rivera is not 100% certain (even unclear) as to who actually stabbed him. In the deposition he is extremely docile. If you read any deposition of cross-examination, this is never the case. Often they will be extremely hostile and reluctant to answer any questions. Un was paid by Jay, but for what?? To say, "my name is Un and Jay stabbed me~!" Plus, Jay-z plead guilty and asked for a deal like a RAT.

3) Un was his first court case. He never went to court before this nor jail.

Look, you have problem if you doubt everything they tell you on TV. But you are just as stupid if you believe everything that these RAPPERS are telling you.

This goes out the Tupac, Biggie, Nas, 50 cent, Snoop Dogg also. They even admitted that they don't do shit that they say on their music (except Snoop cause he is such a stoner). Why is it that I hear people saying that Jay-Z was a crazy gangster/dealer/murderer? Its garbage~!

Vast majority of gang bangers from the 80's are now in the streets as bums (the cracked out ones) that you laugh at. Go ask them if they knew Jay-Z back in the days.

The greatest rapper of all time, without a doubt. Made history with his first album, Reasonable Doubt, and made even more history with his last album, The Black Album, Hov has become the most respected M.C in the game. When you hear of Jay-Z, you can immediately think of greatness.
Did you hear that new jay-z song?
yeah, he's the greatest rapper of all time.
