Pierzy!

like we didnt know..

What happened to Bol’s story?

Is that a black chain or just a black necklace with a black Jesus piece, i wonder if ppl will stop wearin gold n platinum and start wearin black jewelry

Hova should be worried about those boring ass Timbaland tracks & corny guest like Drake that leave a bad taste in the mouth of actaul hip-hop fans.

I still believe, but damn a nigga is making it hard.

I guess we all know now why Bol’s shit got yapped….(ll)

he’s speaking truth….weezy and his ilk are talking the ‘best’ talk based on future potential (sorta like a draft pick) … Mr. S (dot) is talking about already in the vault success - actual facts (plaques got em, bank got it, babe have it)

No matter how many bloggers trash his music and no matter how many niggas say they won’t buy the album because Hov is old and has slacked off (even though he still is better than 99% of anyone on a Major Record Label)… his true fans are gonna buy his album and he’s still gonna be #1 on the charts in the first week of sales. It amazing how many people, especially niggas online, hate on dude. Is it really that serious?!? Some people act like this nigga is taking food out they kids mouth or fucking they BM when most of ya’ll niggas know if you were to ever meet him in person you would be on his dick so hard your girl would start to wonder.

You’re not the “God MC”. The God MC is the most-talented, most-gifted. Rakim is the God MC. You can state you’re “The Best” at “The Game”: sales, commercial success, business ventures. Hats off, undisputedly the best at “the game”.
But not the God MC. The God MC title is reserved for the greatest MC.

Man, I’m a fan of Hov, one of the best ever… but nobody is hating on dude… two weak ass songs have leaked and he’s not getting love.

So, come better Jay… we want good music…

A VERY OVER RATED ARTIST…..XXL RIDES HIS JOCK SO MUCH IM NOT SURPRISED HES ON ANOTHER COVER…..BUT WE ALL KNOW HE CANT TOUCH THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL….SLIMM SHADY…

U ARE RIGHT DUDE…AND JAY-Z KNOWS THAT..

Damn so they actually did put Jay-Z on the cover….SMH

PEACE

Elmvis? what? the who? pardon my french, get the f…out of here.

PEACE

The best 2 ever do it.Ur favourite rapper dreams of being Jay-Z.Remember “Hov’s a living legend and i tell u why,everybody wants 2 like Hov,and Hov still alive”.Hov-godMC.

How can Jay-Z talk about stats but not talk about how he still has yet to surpass Eminem or 2Pac in album sales, period. Eminem has only put out 5 albums, not 10! It’s gonna take Jay-Z another 9 to come up with numbers like that, you know a few million each album…why he aint say those stats, and I cannot believe he even compared himself to the beatles bahahahaha, Jay-Z don’t get gassed!!!

camel-face.

Camel-face got no props, G.

I will say one thing about Mr. Carter: His XXL covers are always interesting and fresh.

[...] [XXL] [...]

How can,come on now stats doesn’t only mean sales. So what if Em has sold more than him. Ask yourself. As dope as em is how many black and latino males and females quote his lyrics ? Jay has a craaaaaaaazy following where in the hood the recite and break his shit down word for word because it’s just that real where brothers in the struggle can relate to him more then they can and Em. The white kids love him like he’s better than 2pac LOL. It’s all I guess about who you relate to the most.There story,struggle,accomplishments and entertainment.

Most of the anti-Jay comments are from people who LOVE Slaughterhouse. The same SlaughterHouse that sold 17 k out the gate. Jay is a legend and he may be out of his prime, but he is still an All Star in this rap game. Name 5 niggas doing better shit right now, especially to dismiss American Gangster, one of the most clever albums of the decade.

he sucks(JAY-Z) he used all biggy rhymes at the start of his career then when biggy died he had 2 learn how 2 START RAPPING what he talks about dont make no sense he just rhyming elementary style synonyms and antonyms and these cats think thats dope he just got lucky cuz the 2 best in rap got taken out R.I.P. BIGGY AND PAC he wahed up he need 2 sit down some where

This dudes aint even REAL, jay IS the GOD Mc, his worst is top 10 in the Game.

I’m a younger dude so I really wasn’t into hip-hop for Jay’s reign but he’s one of my favorite mc’s now. New and old stuff.

Hov > Nas
anyday of the week

Indy

I can’t front on Jay…he’s a giant in the rap game and he will go down in history as one of the best to ever do it. I gotta be honest, Jay is gassing himself and smelling his own shit so hard because he knows that this is it. Jay’s time is up..he has to co-sign these wack niggas like Wayne & Drake because that’s who the new school has elected as the leaders the game. And how came he’s been in it longer than 50, but 50 is probably neck in neck with him in albums sales and business ventures, money, etc ?

Album sales don’t mean shit.ex: ifu fuck 100 bitches that’s a 5 and I fuck 50 dimes I’m winning its quality over quantity ass holes.

People with gimmicks will always sale more..
Ex: Eminem maniac, 50 cent cold killer, Nelly pretty boy. and the list goes on.
Jay sold just being his self thatswhy people still checkin for him. real reconize real.

Well, this answers a lot of my questions… I’ll read it once it hits my barbershop.

Damn, lots of confliction on this cover, but it could’ve been worse….

I stop liking Jay a long time ago when he made pac’s classic into a love duet with Beyonce. I don’t know why ya’ll niggas think this asshole is the shit. just look at him he is soooo corny. he’s a music executive trying to rap how that become cool at least puff took a back seat.

wow, this what rap has come to. notice what he said “the stats” just because you sell the most doesn’t always mean you’re the best.

come on nas we need you to come back and shut this nigga jay up

It’s crazy how people throw salt. He is doing what the rest of these bums are doing, just way better.Why are people so anal about Jay-Z? He took advantage of the game and now people are mad. GTFOH! And just because you don’t like the song doesn’t mean it’s garbage. Who are you? lov it or hate it and move on.

That is all…………..

You Lil Fucks, This is Only The Beginning and yall don’t even know it. He Has impacted and continues to impact the universe. All you haters are gonna buy HIS albums, Try to party at HIS clubs, Watch HIS basketball team play ball, all the while saying… yo, this nigga Jay ain’t even that hot. Lames.. Please get with the program quickly cause you are the reason he can use that word in his lyrics cause he’s talkin about YOU. And Yall are holdin us back. But Yall are the reason niggas like him get rich and to the top, cause he step on all yall lil niggas heads and yall lift him right up there. Make sense? Expand ya brain waves sukkas. Take a look at the XXL cover and think about dudes mind state… “Damn Near Invincible In My Own Mind Now That My Souls Aligned” As Tall as The Empire State Building?? That’s Bold. I wonder why he would place himself there? Yall ain’t done shit so you don’t know what it feels like to accomplish and become shit. Fuck outa here and stop waistin ya time. This the first time I ever commented on some bullshit like this. Listen to Reminder again.

ppl keep on saying jay-z’s career is over
jay-z just lacks hunger to make classic music
His complacency and arrogance is blocking him from improving or better yet going back to his lyrically brilliant days
Look at NAS he hasn’t dropped on weak album in almost a decade!
Every lp has been straight fire for years now!!!
The wealth the business success and the high level he’s at has proved to be his demise
Rocafella will slowly come tumbiling down!
No hating! just facts plain and simple
JAY SHOULD JUST RETIRE FROM RAP OR REGAIN HIS ZEST AND HUNGER TO CREATE RAP MASTERPEICES!!!

Jay-Z is the Best Period, he is Better than any rapper Alive , also you have to realize Jigga is older than wayne and eminem, besides who you know other than wayne has stepped there game up——-Im Waiting — Nobody Eminem always been tight, there are no other rappers that really stepped it up to even be considered comparable to Jay-Z, Jigga is on that grown man shit, im not expecting him to ever come out with a song to do a dance too for what no matter how popular it is, you grow with time, think about it look how hammer tried to go gangster could’nt do it , and what about when Big Daddy Kane posed Nude , just because alot of ladies like you dont mean hip hop will except that shit and we did’nt so he never got back on, he stayed off. Nothing wrong with changing with time but you should’nt ruin your career to change. “30’s the new 20″s im so hot still”

eminem is the best rapper alive

well Harris i hear you,,T one time Yes he was jus remembered for hip-hop,,,But if you talkin bout him as a hole,,I disagree.. He owns Business’s,President of Def Jam,,, ( President is President) Clothing shits,,And i see all types wearin them and nationalities,, I think the Allure of his coolness,Magnifies everything else,,Globally… Dude Jus good at whateva…Yeah he looks like a horse or whateva…But he cool,makin the looks Irrelavent…. But Thats your opinion..Respect it…

i like to watch young people listen to jay and frown and squint, its like they are taking a math test its for grown ups like dark liquor.
hes not for you .its ok this man has pimped music, he knows the president of the united states. and better yet he knows jay ,music 10 plat albums / beans, bleek,young guns ,k west, rhianna, and neyo = lil whanye young carter stole his 1997 style and jump started a new generation show some fuckin respect… after 250 years in america jay z ia a example to every black man in the projects reading this xxl to get up get out and do somthing… cant knock the hustle ….

I agree with Iceman23. Dude is so global and such a trendsetter he stays being the most hated on and talked about. He said in an interview about 10 years ago Russel simmons said to him you always want people talking about you because if there not that means nobody gives a fuck. He’s one of the last Mc’s from an era where you had to be nice. Now adays you just need a big co sign,latest dance or sologan or a song on the radio. I bet most of these rappers out now people consider hot won’t be hear to have a career span 10 years and have that big of an impact on hip hop culture itself.

lol…some of you dudes are hilarious…saying Jay-z is wack is one of the biggest HATER comments of the decade yo…look man..if you are the same nigga that says jay-z wack..but turn around and say the shit out now is hot then your comment to me becomes IRRELEVANT..actually…all ya’ll opinions are irrelevant…cause while your at home on your computer/home-made studio/bff house/ etc…you’ll be watchin’ this niggas sales/popularity/buzz/global appeal/sold out concerts in your town/clothing/liquor/cologne/clubs/sports team/etc continue to rise up…stop bein’ a crab in the barrel and let this dude do what most of you tards can’t do…MAKE IT OUT DA HOOD AND BE SUCCESSFUL…

Wow what a bunch of dick riders. Jay-Z is good, but he’s def not the greatest of all time sorry. He ain’t even in the top 5. Yes the man’s done a lot for Hip Hop but there are a LOT of emcees (based on lyrical talent alone) I would put ahead of Jay. Krs, Nas, Kane, Rakim, Eminem, Canibus, Immortal Technique, to name some, shit I’ll even say Joell Ortiz is a better lyricist then Jay. Like I said I realize what he’s done for Hip Hop but as a lyricist, he’s not the G.O.A.T…

Let’s see this was just posted yesterday and there are 117 comments already. . . Jay is a modern day Shakespeare. . .and BK is his Verona. . ain’t nobody able to reach the masses and I mean all the masses and still be that intellegent, that street and that Cool. . .all the haters on here, I’m sure I will see you at Best Buy on Sep 11th:)

- Ya girl’s a Jay fan:)

Jay is Hip Hop’s biggest icon. It’s been 11 years since Vol 2: Hard Knock Life dropped and Jay is still commercially and artistically relevant.

He will surpass Elvis Presley with #1 albums. He will continue to get nominated for and win Grammys. He will continue to headline big music festivals across the globe. Damn, even President Obama says that Jay is one of his favorite artists.

Jay is unstoppable and will continue to break down walls for Hip Hop for many years to come.
