A decade of dominance? Absolutely. Can you think of any other hip-hop artist that has pumped out as much relevant, genre-defining material as Jay (and, of course, the little homie) in the last 10 years? Nas stans, stay away from the comment box.

It’s going to be an eventful Hovember this year.

    I agree with Outkast except for (in my book) Idlewild was not only just a disappointment, it was so bad that I have deemed it a piece of fecal matter. Besides that, (and the subpar Speakerboxxx disc), I second that nomination.

    Jay-Z is the greatest of all time. He is untouchable Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint and The Black Album were classics.

    That 90s era was the shit and if you wasn’t dope you never got a chance wit pple like Wu-Tang, Nas, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Outkast, Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. the list can go on.

    We should appreciate that era cus we will not have a better era than that.

    You people ride the camel’s nuts so hard that you fail to realize that from day 1 he has always idolized Nas. I don’t recall Nas sampling camel lyrics for hooks or inviting him to be in videos.
    There is no bigger Nas stan in the world than the camel.

    if you don’t like Jay fine but don’t get bent out of shape cause he’s on he cover of XXL and your favorite rapper aint….damn niggas act like bitches about hip-hop.

    The Nas vs Jay-z debate will go on forever but with Nas working for him Jay’s winning…..and that a FACT.

    Please stop trying to compare Talib to Jay-z. I got love for Talib but your just being a fan.

    One last question: Do some of you so-called hip-hop fan really listen to Jay’s lyrics or do you just skim through it? cause i get the impression that most of you don’t. Jay shit ain’t Relevant…y’all niggas kill me.

    Jay is relevant to everyone ignorant nigga who thinks “pushing weight” makes you more of a hustler than a nigga that holds down two jobs and gets an education. Shut that bullshit up, please.

    Also, Nas doesn’t work for Jay, he works for L.A. Reid.

    It is funny how people are quick to say that Jay ain’t the boss and the rappers don’t work for him but they are quick to slam him when the albums flop and nobody mentions L.A. Reid it just proves the hyprocrisy of some of you dudes.
