Biggest (yet most successful) hack in the music industry of all time?
>discuss
Jay-Z is Lay-Z
How the fuck did this guy even get up there?
His skills are so sub-par

Lemme guess, your favorite rapper is Eminem
>>61891371
Jay-z was running with Big-L & his guys way back in OP's picture.
He doesn't shine by comparison to those guys, he got BTFO by Nas.. but Nas is under his label today? Doesn't make sense
>>61891674
it's simple
he's far from the most talented MC in hip-hop but he's one of the most gifted businessmen/entrepreneurs the genre's ever had
the industry respects him as a legend because of what his business skills have done for the evolution of the genre and his business skills are the reason why he's still relevant (and one of the richest men in hip-hop to boot) today
>>61891674
The way I see it Jay-z is the average snake B'klyn nigga who got really really lucky
>>61891807
this isn't wrong but also
Reasonable Doubt
The Black Album
etc
>>61891807
So can we blame him for the complete shit that the industry is today?
He's all about the flashy, get money shit
But no skill to defend himself if someone came at his neck
He was good before most /mu/ posters were born
He should've retired when he planned to at the Black Album though everything after that sucks
>>61891894
i blame people for eating that shit up
i mean you don't have to like some obscure stuff but holy shit at least have some decency and listen to something that isn't recycled crap used over and over
>>61891894
I don't think he's to blame..
One thing I'm sure about though is that the Wu are the only dudes that have kept it real as fuck since day 1

>>61892291

>>61892355

>>61892375
That's not the point.. creep
>>61891076
Still waiting on FKA Krispy Kreme to drop his debut
>>61892291
Nah but seriously, they've contributed so much music that it's endless
>>61892355
>white
Way to prove his point
>>61892585
