      Right? Look at this. Jay is dressed nice here but like street nice. And the car in the video while dope, they’re not all over the top with the Bugattis and Maybachs and shit. Hip hop was in the early days of becoming all commercialized and about the money at this time but it was still hanging on to being grounded. Once the shiny suit era truly hit in 97 it basically was over 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Even if you hate Jay you cannot discredit his legacy and what he brung for hip hop. I really don’t like Jay like that but he still deserves respect for what he did for this generation and this album Reasonable Doubt along with the Blueprint are examples. This along with the 2nd and 3rd versions of this track are still one of the most important hip hop songs of all time. You can call him all types of things wack, sellout, biter, fraud, corny, swagger jacker whatever the heck you want to call him, it’s not going to change the fact that’s he’s still considered one of greatest rappers of all time. Personally I think he’s overrated but hey I gotta give him his long overdue credit. The hate is 100% not that surprising to me anymore because I know it’s mostly these Nas stans that are doing this hate which is understandable given what Jay said about his family and how this song played a role in their classic battle given that he sampled Nas’ voice on this from the World Is Yours track from his illmatic album as well as using the Represent track for the Rap Game/Crack Game song from In My Lifetime: Vol 1. Nas even owns rights to both of the tracks.

    • @rudyrivera8059
      @rudyrivera8059 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I’m with you man. I hate to bring Nas into this conversation cause I’ve always preferred him over Jay but I agree that his legacy is undeniable and anyone who just straight up hates on Jay z and dismisses his work, I never take those people seriously when it comes to an objective discussion about Hip Hop. I just feel like a lot of people have a hard time disconnecting the art from the artist and taking their personal biases out of the conversation when judging the artist.

    • @dmercy8477
      @dmercy8477 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      💯 agree. I also prefer Nas because he has way better music and there’s other rappers I do prefer over Jay-Z but that doesn’t mean Jay isn’t a legend of course he is. Just some of his music especially after The Black Album is not for me but I can’t hate him for it. These haters are right about some of the claims they say about him especially him biting other people and destroying careers but they keep twisting stuff by adding dumb conspiracies to it. That’s why people don’t take them seriously. Jay-Z is a horrible person especially what he did to artists like DMX and Prodigy but as you said you gonna have to separate the art from the artist itself and I think they have a hard time doing that because of who he is as a person. His discography may not be on par with Nas or OutKast but still. These people who call him trash don’t even listen to his music at all even most of his music before The Black Album. These people give Nas too much credit for the decline of his discography. The only album that really was affected by Nas and his Ether track is Blueprint 2. When it comes to Jay’s other albums, He honestly really did that to himself due to his ego. These people be biased about everything.

      I liked him back when RD came out then even HK life vol 2 and he's still nice but he got a bad track record of doing people dirty,he said he IS a business. Nas doesn't have stans he got fans. It's no question nothing ever made can equal Illmatic NYC knows that. Start to finish it wasn't something you just listened to, you experience that mfkr!
      It went past talking about money,it was the streets.
      Jay couldn't do it if he tried (Streets is Watching) but it was still good. Illmatic was all-time great. So if I say Nas is better than Jay I'm a Stan? That's fukked up

      @@orlando2292 Just because people say Nas is better doesn’t make you a Stan being a Stan and a fan are completely different things a Stan is being extremely obsessive and trying to discredit other people disrespecting their opinions and being heavily biased about it being a fan means you like an artist and respect other people and their opinions and that’s you your are a fan I’m a Nas fan too. And I’ve always preferred him over Jay. Just don’t be a Stan. Jay’s definitely ruined careers he’s a horrible person and there’s better rappers than him. He’s definitely overrated But I love and respect his music though I’m not a huge fan of it. These haters are right about their claims about him they just do it the wrong way but constantly trolling and making dumb and untrue conspiracies about it. I don’t like Jay like that and I can be biased when it comes to him and his shady moves but I’ll never take these disgusting people seriously though I’m not a huge fan of him. They just gonna have to accept the fact that though he’s a bad person he’s still a legendary artist.
