I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back. We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more 
No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”
    How you gonna say you're the best then let multiple rappers outshine you on your own songs?

    I get it, I understand the interview up until he considered himself the best rapper. He's made his name, he's made his impact, and will continue to.. but the fact he says he's the best rapper alive is a bit out there. He may be one of the better rappers.. but the best? Being the best consists of consistency, and in my personal opinion his verses aren't exactly amazing every time he drops one. I respect him, and what he's saying in this interview, but to label himself the best is just a bit too weezyish for me.

    and to make things more clear, i'm not saying that he can't outshine a good majority of rappers out right now.. hence why i said how's he going to LET other rappers outshine him..

    OMFG..

    why do people claim it's 'Jayz hate' when you don't like his shit anymore... He's dumbed down his lyricism so bad since post-Black Album, it's kinda obvious he trying to stay in the Mainstream picture now.

    Cause Jay-Z wasn't commercial before? You don't sell that many records with out making hits for the mainstream, "Oh nooooo's he's making popular music how could he? I want him to go back to selling more records than the Beatles!!!"
    :hosea:


    Fuck Why don't he just make shit like big pimping huh that super lyrical shit sonzzzzzzzz!!!!

    Re: Jay Z Stamps himself as 'Greatest Rapper Alive

    so who do YOU think is the greatest rapper alive shadow?

    because he probably isn't....

    it just goes on and on. there's always someone better. but Jays as close as it gets when you combine lyricism AND sales. no REAL lyricists sell like Jay, and no one whose sold like Jay can match his lyrics(aside from em maybe)

    agreed on those terms.. or close to it

    but on the simple note he's the best... thats what i was questioning
    but to be honest, i am not a huge fan of his lyrics, but then again compared to other top sellers he's pretty top tier.

    point taken.
