Youre right

Space Ghost Coast to Coast is the best TV show and the best movie is Gymkata. Lol im sorry maybe you've never heard of REAL HIP HOP maybe I should introduce you to Shadow Klan, a literal backpack rapper who sold CD-Rs in Corktown for 16 years and never made it big because he's TOO REAL FOR THE MAINSTREAM.

you're not wrong but it's trite for a reason. they ARE legendary and have a lasting quality, and are deserved of their potentiality as "greatest". jay's not my pick but i don't lambast someone for it being theirs

no one is being lambasted. i would definitely put jay-z somewhere on my top 100 rappers list. but i’ve noticed that calling jay-z the greatest is kind a of self fulfilling prophecy. the more people repeat it, the more people believe it.

i just have a hard time putting him up so high because he’s put out way more mediocre music than good music. big part of being a good artist is having taste and curating what u put out.

i don’t really care if someone rates jay z or sopranos so high but just irl if i meet a person like that i just think ”bit bland and maybe they don’t know much about this subject. maybe they’re a redditor”. and then i move on to another subject.

I'd put Jay z in the top 20 rappers. Probably not the top ten?

But the wire IS the best tv show of all time and maybe if Jay z had acted in it as method man did he would be even better? Basically this:

I feel like those who swear he's the greatest rapper alive probably haven't listened to a ton of rap? Not trying to throw shade or anything, I listened to plenty of Jay back in the day it's just he's definitely not even close to the best rapper.

Jay Z gave me $15 to stop shaming his work on the forums so now Jay Z is okay. Not great, not terrible, just okay. For $10 that opinion could be upgraded, Jay.

well have you ever discussed something with someone who clearly had no knowledge of a subject that you're passionate about? obv i don't think that entire person is boring (i mean they likely are but not entirely because of that) but it means that i don't want to talk about that subject with them.

they are not sure how the shooter will manage it as the roc sign requires both hands but around 2005 the rapper camron was shot by a mysterious person who ”threw the roc sign”

yes this song was actually comissioned by the governor of new york city for his birthday. "mommy took a bus trip, now she gotta buss out, now everybody ride her, just like a bus route" is actually a reference to the governor's baby mother.

edit: the lyrics are actually "mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out".
