Let me open up my active case file on Shawn carter real quick

OP might be Big Gipps alt.

No

He’s already shown he has

Hov was early on supporting and collaborating wit the South if you think he went platinum just being relevant in the NE you are buggin. We talkin bout when you had to guy buy albums btw.

His sons will continue to prolong his legacy

People forget we are witnessing hip hop age in real time. Jay doesn’t have to be relevant wit the youth anymore lol neither do any artist that came out during his era.

biggie maybe but yeah kendrick and hov been hit with it the hardest recently

That’s true. Thinking of someone hating on Big is nasty work tbh

My first thought

The answer changes depending how far from NY the person you're asking is

Jay-Z is legendary but doesn't have as much appeal outside his region as other rappers do. Even in 2010 he wasn't super popular in the South

He’s probably aged the best out of anyone from the 90s

He still is generally considered to be the greatest rapper of all time by the general population

There are people who disagree of course but most rappers and rap media personalities consider him the goat

I’d rather him do this than drop bullshit so it’s cool

I feel like he’s been more relevant recently than he’s been in a minute. J. Cole diss was a Takeover rendition

“It’s crazy how one verse can f*** up the game”

And

“I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves”

Was quoted hundreds of times in the beef thread and both are Jay Z lines

Which ones

He already has

Yes and no, I think the legacy of his hits might be starting to fade for the general public. Many of them being so trendy and feature heavy isn’t helping but it also could be due to the time they spent off streaming services

Some people really seeing him more as Beyoncé’s husband

His rap classics are cemented for heads though and his run is too legendary. As long as people care about hip hop I think they will care about HOV

If he could try to do a next leg of his career similar to Nas then he could change everything so we’ll have to see

drake, kendrick, cole and kanye are all his sons he'll be fine

He thinks he’s too good to do something like the Nas albums
