Pretty much everyone who has written a definition for Jay is a fucking idiot. Jay-Z is one of the most lyrically brilliant rappers in raps short history. Thats not arguable its a fact. It is true that he began to commercialize his rap after his outstanding debut album Reasonable Doubt (one of the best rap albums in history) and that was unfortunate, but he turned it around with the Blueprint which was a great album and Blueprint 2 and Black Album were also very good. If I see one more person write that Jay-Z is fake or is a pussy im gonna go fucking insane. The beauty of the Jay-Z vs. Nas battle was that they are both lyrically brilliant, they both have lived what they say and are straight from some of the most infamous housing projects, or "hoods" in New York City and every accusation they made about eachother being fake was a lie. Jay-Z and Biggie Smalls were like fucking best friends (besides Puff) so of course they are gonna take some bars from eachother. Wait, who was in the two best collaborations Notorious B.I.G has ever done? Oh yeah - Jay-Z (Brooklyns Finest, I Love the Dough). Hes fake even though he was a huge drug dealer, and stabbed a guy just for leaking bootlegs of his album into the street (OH HE FUCKING FAKED THAT, OK THATS A FUCKING SMART THING TO SAY CONSIDERING THAT LANCE RIVERA MADE A PUBLIC STATEMENT THAT HE SAW JAY WALK OVER TO HIM IN THE CLUB AND STAB HIM). If he was that fake and that much of a pussy would "The Game" throw positive lines at him in pretty much everyone of his songs and describe him as a legend? Just because he fucking makes songs that the mainstream pop audience likes doesnt mean hes a motherfucking fake and anyone who knows anything about Rap and its history knows that, if u disagree your a fucking moron and u shouldnt be allowed to listen to rap music.

A rapper who looks like a camel.

An overrated rap artist who always claims to be retiring, but never actually does. Has achieved higher commercial success than most rappers.

pretty good rapper, some say he's too commercial but it's certainly more enjoyable listening to him rather than say gay unit...

One the best rappers in Hip-Hop history. Born and raised in Marcy Projects located in Bed-stuy Brooklyn, he picked up the torch for NYC and for Brooklyn after the death of the Notorious BIG was murdered. Know for being one of the most consistant rappers in Hip-hop, putting out a new album every year in his career. Jay-Z left his mark on Hip-Hop with classic LP's like Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album. Jay-Z is idolized by many of rap musics biggest names, as some refer to him often and even sample his voice in their songs. Jay-Z is a trend-setter and a very smart business man, owning numorous companys, and endorsing many products. Jay-Z's retirement concert which took place in Madison Square Garden sold out in minutes which is unheard of for Hip-Hop. Jay-Z sold out the concert singlehandedly, being the only performer scheduled to perform that night. Jay-Z is certainly one of best, if not the best rapper to ever grace the mic.

A rapper who only raps about his money. Looks like somebody took a shit, put it through a meat-grinder, dressed it up in a suit, hat, and jewelry to make it "iced out", and named it Jay-Z. As a matter of fact, this is how Jay-Z came into existence. Also known as Gay-Z. Calls himself "Tha Jigga". I prefer to call him "Jigger the gay Nigger"

An ill rapper that got shitted on and embarrassed by a much better mc called nas.

A rapper. That's all I'm going to say. Nothing positive, nothing negative.

Actually, I lied. I am going to say something positive. Jay-Z is a brilliant rapper who deserves all the credit for making rap what it was at its peak. It kind of sucks today, so I switched to hard rock, but Jay-Z made rapping acceptable when I was into it. He was the best damn rapper anyone's ever come up with, and I salute him.

Its a somebody that ruins Glastongury Festivals and makes it not be a sell out even no glastonbury is normally sold out in the first day
