    raps

    If Joey Badass dropped BP3 right now he would instantly be big 3

    but its “mid”

    Ok lol

    BP3 had some of the trashest raps I've heard from a GOAT.

    It was so bad that Ye (who's an average rapper) completely outclassed him on Run This Town

    Saying the man has classic albums but has also dropped some stinkers isn't hating on him.

    Saying there are better songwriters isn't hating on him.

    Y'all Jay Z fans just get super offended when people dont agree that he's a flawless superhuman lyrical genius who has never made a since misstep in his life.

    You said he's aggressively ass

    I don't stan Jay but he is unquestionably a goat

  • Nigga said prime ye is average

    Wtfff

    If Em released as many albums as Jay did and called every release his “retirement album” he would have the same accolades as Jay

    the whole "i'm retiring so give me my flowers" gimmick is so cringe too

    Jay has two more albums than Em

    Before 2017?
    Jay released way more during his prime, Em released 6 albums in his prime compared to jay’s collab albums and solo albums
    Em was tryna build the hype around 50 and other labelmates. If he released solos every year and teased it as a “retirement” it “comeback” he’d be up there

    You're looking at daily streams, in which he is #95, one spot above 50.

    For daily streams as well, he and Em are also the only two rappers that debuted before the 21st Century to be in the Top 100. 2Pac is at #238 and Biggie is at #403

    Up there in what?

    The problem isn't that he was dropping infrequently

    The problem is that a majority of the music he's dropped post-Eminem Show has been absolute garbage
