Jay was good on Watch the Throne.
He's good because most of the tracks drown out his voice and the music is loud enough to cover over him.

Just retire. You haven't been good in years.
Man, can Jay Z stop playin himself?

Magna Carta Holy Fail was the most overrated album of last year.
Jay has the ability to produce great music but he should never ever step in front of a mic.
His best songs are the ones where the music is strong enough that it is able to transcend his awful voice.
Oh look at that, all of those examples you listed stem from insults and not people stating their preferences, only further proving it isn't worth it. First, it's not like Jay hasn't responded to general criticisms of people thinking he's basically gone bougie on us, he does so in interviews and it's become a frequent topic in his raps about actually being bout the life he lives about and not some caricature. And that warrants singling out Drake because he wasn't feeling American Gangster (perhaps the concept went over his head, but still) and maybe Drake liked a different side of Jay's music? Yeah Jay needs to grow some balls if he's threatened by preferences. I can't believe you're arguing that this is worthwhile based on some preferences. The old Jay wouldn't have responded to something so petty, from a major artist or not, hence where Jay-Zing the situation comes from.Drake also took a shot at American Gangster as well earlier this year saying it was just crack songs (a fair statement). So that's two times he criticised Jay's work. Plus, a lot of people have been taking shots at him for a minute now; for what he raps about, what he does with his money, how he acts, dresses. As far as Jay not responding during post-Black Album era... He called out Jim Jones, Game, and Dame on the BP3 intro. Shots at Game on the Grammy Family Freestyle Subs at Birdman and Wayne on HAM.
Imma side with Aubrey here. Jay's art raps are corny as shit, and so cynical.

Blatant hating.Once again Jay Electronica puts on a show while Hov flails aimlessly.
I can understand not giving two shits about Drake, but you should check for Jay Electric.I find it shocking (in a personal way) that as a child of the late 80s and early 90s who grew up on the first wave of break through rappers...that I wouldnt be able to recognize Drakes voice (I thought he was a singer lol) and I really have no freaking clue who or what Jay Electronic is.
I will google these people...
No he shouldn't. Don't give jay anymore fans until he actually drops an album.I can understand not giving two shits about Drake, but you should check for Jay Electric.
His verse reminds me of when lupe fiasco was still alive. Rest in piece to that poor boy.Just heard the song. Holy shit, Jay Electronica snapped.
I actually enjoyed his lyrics on some of the songs and I felt he played well off Kayne.
Manga Carta was such trash though.
Oh, another rap song where someone proclaims that he's so amazing that he might as well be God. Oh, and he's wealthy. That'll sure show that other guy who also trumpets his ego and wealth!
Facebook drama queen tier shit.
Which is ironic coming from a rapper who's rise to fame is making the corniest possible songs for women, sprinkled with a bit of faux tough guy showmanship. You don't want to make him catch a body like that.Glad Jay threw that shot, drake has been getting high off his own supply this year. With that said, Drake was right about the art stuff, it is corny.
"You probably hop on my dick right there, right in front of ya bitch. Ask me some stupid shit like, 'Yo, yo dog. What's the difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6?' Like 30 to 40 grand cocksucker, beat it."
Is drake returning any of your calls ken? Just curious.Jay and his fabricated drug tales talking to Drake about authenticity?
Lol
Jay has some strident haters. Hes rich and black and flaunts it,fucks Beyonce, has managed to stay relevant and successful for 2 decades despite purists and stans of people he outlasted hating him. As a fan, its fun to sit back and watch people try as hard as possible to downplay his legacy and skill...What's up with all the jay-z hate?
He plays off Kanye better than Justin Timberlake thats for sure...GAH its soo terrible when it switches to his voice. Makes my ears bleed.
Manga Carta was indeed trash.

The worst part of it is that drake has confessed his love for hov on record. He rapped about dude like it was a female he was in love with. The King of corny can't be calling other people corny regardless of the validity of the statement. People talk about ye but drakes had the biggest ego around this past year.I'm confused. How can Jay be more corny than Drake of all people?
So he threw a small jab at Drake for calling out his favorite hobby. Who wouldn't? I feel like Drake is the last person who should be talking about corny. So yes, Drake may have been a little right about calling Jay rapping about art whack.. But Drake is equally as whack. I can only think of that as the main reason why Jay clocked. Would any rapper like the fact that Drake called out their favorite hobby as corny and whack? Think about that for a second lol.
So as the head of the drake PR team what is your next move? Is drake currently penning a rebuttal or an apology.Jay and his fabricated drug tales talking to Drake about authenticity?
Lol
American Gangster is a good solid album, nah. He's only good for singles and features now basically. Either way everyone else from his eras is garbage now with the exception of Nas, who is kinda at that American Gangster level of quality.Everything post Black Album was medicore at best. It's like Tribe albums after Midnight Marauders. Go from legendary to meh. Quest had other shit going on though.
Truth bomb.Jay has some strident haters.

Just like this guy right here. Obviously doesn't like Jays music from any era but is dropping post after post trying to convince people he isnt one of the greatest to ever pick up a mic.

In the time it took you to write that long ass post you could have actually listened to Hov's verse. Dude is talking about Lupita, 12 years a slave and the oscars. Can't respect your analysis of a GOAT if you're playing up the role of "do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it."I'm guessing this was recorded before Pound Cake? You never know with Jay Elec...
.
Drake makes better music that Jay right now. Kills every feature, makes great albums.He is. I just can't with people trying to defend Drake on this. Come on, Drake though? His entire opinion is invalidated when you make the most corniest videos that consists of him running next to a driving car in faux snow, trying to be captain save-a-hoe on some Chris Brown level shit. His does has some nerve to talk about art. At least art has stories behind it that is historical , educational pieces that lives around for years. Kids won't be talking about his performance as Jimmy in the next 10 years lol. I'm saying. Jay probably didn't have to defend his, uhh, second love with this verse but I mean if Jay is corny for doing it, Drake is corny for even acknowledging it or attempting to drag it tbh.

I dont think hes arguing Hov's verse is old. Hes talking about Jay E. I think its a relatively recent record given the fact that Jay E is using the Migos flow pretty blatant.In the time it took you to write that long ass post you could have actually listened to Hov's verse.

Jay Elec has a time machine though. This verse was probably written about 12 years ago.In the time it took you to write that long ass post you could have actually listened to Hov's verse.

Nah, it's why he mentioned pound cake.I dont think hes arguing Hov's verse is old. Hes talking about Jay E. I think its a relatively recent record given the fact that Jay E is using the Migos flow pretty blatant.
