pretty good rapper, some say he's too commercial but it's certainly more enjoyable listening to him rather than say gay unit...

Rapper.Gets his money cuz of other artists. he can be seen as the "Don King" of rap/hip hop. He's not rich cuz of his tracks, but off the business he handles on the side. no doubt hes rich, but lyrically speaking, hes wack. The day he uses original lyrics and makes good hits will be the day he's considered a true legend. I think Nas is still the best around. Not just because of the diss on Hova, but because his songs deal with the true life struggles of everyday people and issues concerning the world. jay-z is NOT on the level of Nas, lyrically. real talk.
Broken glass in the hallway bloodstained floors
Neighbors look at every bag you bring through your doors
Lock the top lock momma shoulda cuffed me to the radiator
Why not? It might've saved me later from my block
N.Y. cops hookers crawlin off the stroll, coughin
stitches in they head, stinkin and I dread thinkin they be snitchin
But who else, could it be, shook at these, unmarked vans
Parked in the dark -- NARC's, where's your heart?
Hustlers starve; they bust a U-e I jog
to my building -- come out later wearin camouflage
See the sergeant and the captain -- strangle men
Niggaz gaspin for air; til they move no more and just stare
with dead eyes -- tired of riots, shit is quiet
Simple-minded fools infiltrate grimy crews
Overcrowded cribs, uncles home from bids, sister's pregnant
father's on drugs, moms is smokin, beds is piss-infested
Had eight partners growin up, eight turned to seven
Seven turned to six niggaz, got two in heaven
Six of us, holdin it, now it's five rollin thick
The sixth one's parole flipped; five niggaz, went to fo' quick
when he went O.T., college life, converted into gangbangin
Four niggaz still hangin, years passed and slang changin
Three of us now, fourth nigga ain't around
We all thought he was real -- he did the snake shit
Fake shit -- beat his ass down, yo his mouth
could've got us all wasted, what a fuckin clown
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends
And we all goin out, to the death for these ends, WHAT?
-NAS (N.Y. State Of Mind Part 2)
jay-z has to come up with sum better bars!

Term used to describe a mediocre rapper or person who stages a fake stabbing, uses lines from rappers that he admires, and pretends to retire, all so that his sales will go up.
Jay-Z dickriders like Jay-Z, but not the artists that he bites, or they like him more than those artists (Nas, 2pac, Biggie, etc...)

Jay-Z is a pathetic rapper whom is over rated. "You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a stan. I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class
You tae-bo hoe, tryna' work it out, you tryna' get brolic?" - Nas, Ether
"What you think, you gettin girls now 'cause of your looks? Ne-gro please
You no mustache havin, with whiskers like a rat. Compared to beans you wack
And your man stabbed un and made you take the blame. You ass, went from jaz to hangin with caine, to herb, to big. And, eminem murdered you on your own shit.You a dick-ridin faggot, you love the attention. - Nas, Ether

Jay-Z rapped about Nas on "Takeover", claiming to have had sex with the mother of his daughter, Destiny Jones, and teasing Nas for not having put out a hot album since Illmatic. Not long later, Nas released Stillmatic in December of 2001, which opened with a song called "Ether", a potshot at Jay-Z featuring the chant "F*%k Jay-Z." Stillmatic reaffirmed Nas' mainstream position in the consciousness of rap fans nationwide. Therefore Jay-z can suck it.

One the best rappers in Hip-Hop history. Born and raised in Marcy Projects located in Bed-stuy Brooklyn, he picked up the torch for NYC and for Brooklyn after the death of the Notorious BIG was murdered. Know for being one of the most consistant rappers in Hip-hop, putting out a new album every year in his career. Jay-Z left his mark on Hip-Hop with classic LP's like Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album. Jay-Z is idolized by many of rap musics biggest names, as some refer to him often and even sample his voice in their songs. Jay-Z is a trend-setter and a very smart business man, owning numorous companys, and endorsing many products. Jay-Z's retirement concert which took place in Madison Square Garden sold out in minutes which is unheard of for Hip-Hop. Jay-Z sold out the concert singlehandedly, being the only performer scheduled to perform that night. Jay-Z is certainly one of best, if not the best rapper to ever grace the mic.
Jay-Z is the SHITTTT"
