I listened to his two critically acclaimed albums, reasonable doubt & the blueprint & wasn't that impressed there fore I did't bother listening to the rest of his shit , but then I was curious to see how his music changed over time, so I listen to kingdom come & American Gangster & they both were disappointing to me, especially Kingdom Come...
Jay is one of the most overrated rappers in the game, along with Pac & Biggie.

i'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything, i'm just interested in knowing why you didn't like it so it may perhaps allow me to look at it a different way.
