^most of those people came out before jigga. AFTER jigga damn near every popular emcee has been a jay clone.
He's top five, dead or alive, no doubt.
And for everybody saying, "he's not lyrical!!!!!", you need to stop listening to hip hop immediately because you obviously have no idea what hip hop lyricism and flow is all about.
All the greatest of the greats, from Rakim to KRS to Ghostface to Redman to Eminem to Andre to whoever else, recognise Jay as one of the best to ever do it. This, in hindsight, renders anybody's opinion on this forum completely irrelevant when they speak bad on him.
Oh, and just to add, he's one of the greatest live performers as well.

Be there when the music winds down and Jay Z turns the lights on the crowd, and for about 30 minutes just shouts out the people wearing a shirt with his name on it, or those he saw screaming every word to every verse back at him during the show. Then try to tell me he hasn’t, against all odds, retained some of that grateful kid from the Marcy projects.
If people can listen to Justify My Thug and think he's not lyrical then they need to quit hip hop right now.
jay z is definitely one of the best rappers out there, but like eminem I just can't stand his music. To each his own, I guess. He is also a sell-out, and no self respecting black man would use the name Rocafella for their record companies. I am sure the real Rockefeller family loves that.
i know you ain't say the original quote but you co-signed it. if rappers never catered to radio fans then there wouldn't be hip hop today. i don't know if you remember (although with the PRT video in your sig i'm sure you do) that at one time rap was considered a "fad" that would fade away, guarantee if no one ever tried to cater to the radio then rap would be gone by now, and a whole lot of people wouldn't have jobs, a whole lot of people would still be struggling instead of making careers for themselves, but hey, by all means "keep it real", which basically translates to "stay broke"
Someone who says Jay-z is wack is deluded. He ain't my favourite rapper but saying he is average is just stupid.
then i may be the worst kind, but i guarantee you jay-z is even worse (fascist, sellout, republican) milking this hip-hop culture bitch for all he can with his little white corporate freemason best-buddies..
ok i may not even hate jay-z, but im defintely against what he is doing..
without the "wack ass hip hop industry" there would be no backpacker, underground, look-out-my-bedroom-window bullshit faggotry rap that makes emo kids channel their feelings and really get a message out of the deep philosophical bullshit that these fanboys spit. jay-z haters are a funny bunch cause your favorite rapper's favorite rapper is jay-z, look at all the underground jay-z clones, they're everywhere, yet you mafuckas are on some "yo fuck the radio, fuck the mainstream, fuck anything that makes money, that shit is bullshit, yo if you in the top 10 then you garbage straight up fuck that gay shit". basically you that dude at the party that gets all pissy when the girls start dancing to gucci mane instead of rolling up to one of those bitches and trying to fuck.
They're the type that will go to a party and stand in the corner complaining that "the lyrics suck".
Jay-Z is your favourite rapper's favourite rapper, how can he be wack? Morons.
