why it always have to be this guys>>>that guy?why is it always a competition?why cant we just take the music for what it is?that just causes arguments fights&beef and we miss the point of the music in the 1st placeNow let me be a hypocrite My Top 5Andre 3000CommonJay-ZNasBiggie And Paving the way 4 hiphop like LL did doesnt automatically make u great lyrically or give u an automatic advantage skill wise.not saying LL is bad but him paving the way in rap isnt the reason why he is good

No pen, 1 take, yadda yadda yadda, thats called marketing...Canibus 1000 bars, The infinit rhyme. no hooks. over 1000 versions of this song created. Master thesis Poeate laureate 2, Last laugh ? come on dude... seriously ?Jay- Z is a great artist. Has a MAD nice flow.Key word. FLOW. There are far better lyricists. J's flow is better than most. Even Bis, but not lyrics./sigh

I see he still has immaturity. Thats why he doesnt sell, cause your rhymes cant even compete with z's. UH HA!

Also. you shouldn't take mine or anyone else's differing opinion so personal. We're all individuals here so there's gonna be some kind of disagreement here. I've got no beef with you, and as long as you don't have any with me, we cool.

CountryDude, I meant no disrespect towards you and I respect your opinion, though I disagree 1000% with you. I don't have to "get all smart and shyt" to make my point. Jay-Z is a bomb rapper, entrepeneur, businessman, with a fine ass wifey, and is one of the top millionaires in the world. 'Nuff respect! But LL paved the way for him; being one of DefJam's first artists, even before Run DMC (who was signed to Profile records at that time). Y'all gotta show him respect - PERIOD
