Jay Z

[GonzoStyle]

For six summers, he was the hottest rapper alive, you could count on a fuckin classic every year from him. From reasonable doubt and up to blueprint were his prime years in my eyes.

It all went downhill once he got too full of himself and just wasn't the same rapper as he was when he first came out. He was always cocky dont get me wrong, he knows how great he is and even on his first album he said he wasn't lookin to be a rapper, he just wanted to drop one classic.

But now its more like he's the hugh hefner of rap in his fuckin silk robe and cigarette holder, rather than one of the dons of rap.

I dont even mind the sell out shit, cause he's tryin to take rap more mainstream then ever and I respect that, just as DMC did with aerosmith. It's just the fact there is no more substance or "whoa" factor to his lyrics and his beats are too poppy.
