Ive noticed that most people who post here don't like Jay-Z, me personally, I think he's great.
He has released some bad stuff, but any artist with his output is bound to make a few duds.
I also dont agree with people who say he is generic lyrically, Meet The Parents, 99 Problems, Beach Chair, Lyrical Exercise, Regrets, I Know - all amazing concepts.
I think a lot of Jiggas work goes over peoples heads, I can guarentee most people think "I Know" is about a chick, when its actually describing the addicts of a drug user and drug dealer.
Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol 1, The Blueprint, The Black Album, American Gangster-he has one of the best discographies in hiphop.
BUT I can why people dont like him, I never used to either
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified[/i - Jay-Z
