If I were to place Jay-Z in the category of Talented vs untalented, I would say he would be average, along with Lil Wayne who is a bit less talented and Rick Ross who does nothing for me either way.

sorry Black Independence Day is New Years

Jay-Z is one of the best rappers alive, this album is just not his best.

How many pairs of high-waisted, American flag print shorts did y'all see today?

I stopped counting after 7.

High waisted shorts with an American flag crop top is what I saw alllll day. I will throw up if I see that outfit again.

I just almost died... Drunk coons trying to put on their own fireworks show.

Y'all better STOP trying Jay-Z.

Back in the day, Jay's beatnik rapping style was unique and new and his early lyricism was excellent; blunt and realistic, yet poignant (I said this in another thread). He's fallen off his game like all middle-aged musicians, but don't knock his entire career.

[BLaCKPoWeR]

Late '90s Jay-Z >>>. Average these nuts.

It's not a bad album so far, it's just not anything groundbreaking either. It's better than Yeezus, though.

Yeezus >
At least Kanye didn't get overshadowed by Rick Ross on his own album. And 'Holy Grail' isn't on his tracklist either, so he wins by default.

**** his career. Nas, 3 Stacks, and Ye **** on him. I would throw in Eminem too, but people on here love to hate his white ass. Jay should hang it up and continue knocking up his little wife.

Oh of course Jay should retire. sdsdf He should've kept his promise in 2004 and NOT have come back.

I am really not familiar with Nas at all and I have to get into him. So I can't say.

[KB.]

Take my word for it.... Nas >>>> Jay... Goes to show commercial success does not equal talent.

[BLaCKPoWeR]

K, what is Nas's BEST album? If it's not too long, I'll try it tonight.

[i spit on haters]

You should check out both illmatic and stillmatic.

I don't think you'll like them. You don't seem like you're into hip-hop that much.

[BLaCKPoWeR]

What? Hip-Hop is my second favorite genre!

I've heard about Illmatic before. Let me try it!

[BLaCKPoWeR]

Oooh it's only 40 minutes long. I'll try it.

The composition section of its wikipedia article is so long. Must be pretty... ...deep?

[MrBeyonceFan]

Jay's album is a ****ing masterpiece every song is a bop.

[iHype.]

I've probably heard every Nas album, but can't tell you more than 10 songs.

He's one of those artist as a kid you don't listen to, but your family plays SO MUCH. I could probably remember every song, but not actually know the song.

[KB.]

I Am is good too.

[i spit on haters]

Mess at people saying her "voice is gone" -- watched it earlier on NBC and she killed it. Her 'Hero' performance wasn't too bad, either. Those are live vocals.
