no one cares lil bro, its not that serious

it’s outrageous the type of songs this nigga has jus chillin in the vault

If I went into a comma in 2001 and woke up in 2026 and someone came to my bedside and said Hov died but this nigga Drake his reincarnation then they played me Iceman I’d believe they ass

hov doesnt have the range to do something like iceman
maybe if u only limit it to bars, but music/melodic wise drake offers a lot more

there is a reason y hov had to link up with alicia keys, beyonce ,ye, rihanna and them to keep up

that’s such a purposeful misrepresentation of what being a rapper was during Jay’s era lmfao. that’s like saying Big Boy needed Andre to make Sir Lucious Left Foot when he didn’t

Jay is a rapper who makes rap music

Drake is a rapper who dabbles in other genres from time to time

Unfair to discredit Jay for not being as versatile when he never tried to be

Judge artists on how good they are at what they try to be, not what they aren't

i didnt discredit jay, just saying he couldnt do something like iceman

amd i discrediting ye or drake when i say they couldnt have made thriller ? lol

ICEMAN is a straight rap album. Jay was always known for being able to rap on basically any kind of production in his prime. How would he have not been able to do something like ICEMAN?

1 out of 18 songs

Majority of ICEMAN is straight rap

Make Them Cry
Dust
Whisper My Name
Janice STFU
Ran To Atlanta
Shabang
Make Them Pay
National Treasures
B's On the Table
What Did I Miss?
Plot Twist
2 Hard 4 The Radio
Make Them Remember
Firm Friends
Make Them Know

These are all songs that, conceptually speaking, could've been made by Jay in his day (obviously the production choices would be different because the era was different)

so you hear this and think hov would have done this ? come on lol

Didn’t they say this came and went?

You too focused on the style of the production being very modern

Janice STFU is mostly just a rap song with a sung hook. Jay could've easily spit those same verses over some forward-thinking production in like 2002 and had someone else do a hook

I'm not saying Jay would've rapped on a beat that sounds like Janice STFU back in 1996-2003, that would've been impossible. But you're forgetting that Jay was always rapping on some weird ass production for the time and was known to be able to rap over anything
