Yeah I know he won’t do exactly that but he could maybe come back and do his version and drop like 3 albums in 6 years or something

“The youth doesn’t care for him” when in the f*** did you speak to all if the youth to get this info op?

Close this thread up. Y’all see his discography and don’t you dare play like he has something to prove. Reasonable Doubt through Vol. 3 was a crazy yearly run from 1996 through 1999.

Y’all also see the way his priorities shifted - from vocal artist to (music) mogul.

Yeah but still someone like 50 Cent is still prevalent in the culture despite not releasing an album and sticking to be a TV mogul

Jay is in his 50s so I understand why he doesn’t pop out as much but that can also hurt him in the long run

Yes

So you have nothing and are just making up allegations?

33+

He was as big as it gets in western Canada ubiquitous as long as I've been paying attention to music

Kendrick is a huge stretch.

Kendrick is more so of Wayne, Pac, and Outkast's lineage than Hov's. Eminem's too arguably.

Reasonable Doubt amazing but still a ways behind 36 Chambers, Aquemini, Ready To Die

Yall niggas need to put some respect on big homie name for real for real

36 chambers always sounded so muddy in the mix, i dunno if theres a remastered vinyl that I just havent heard yet

RD is a classic to me but, outside of that, saying Jay's music aged better than other 90's rappers is a huge stretch lol.

Biggie alone aged better than Jay's music in the 90's with only 2 albums.

That said, Jay's music in the 21st century did a better job at showcasing his artistry overall. He focused less on bloating his albums and actually making cohesive projects akin to RD.

Lo fidelity like the Asian movie translations they sampled was part of the charm

True. Id say alot of Outkast still hasn't aged and if anything sounds like the future still.

I agree. Outkast aged very well due to not chasing trends in production and style in the 90's(albeit their debut somewhat did).

Tribe Called Quest's music aged very well too. There's literally a revival of Zoomers getting into Tribe's music from the 90's.

To my point of him having more appeal closer his region than other rappers - we might as well consider all of Canada as "North" and being more receptive to NYC rap than people in the US South

Tell these suburbanites smfh

Kendrick always quotes Jay and been emulating him since his first tape, he def one of Hov sons

???

Yeah probably. We kinda got that New York climate in Vancouver too except more rain.

no one ever talks about Eminem’s influence on Kendrick and it’s so obvious lol

he’s old as s*** lol he already has

The greatest

Everyone will forget about every artist eventually
