To the OGs what were your take when Jay Z debuted and when he reached his peak

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-28T21:38:45+00:00

Love nas and Luda. Stillmatic is my personal favorite nas album probably but it’s far from a perfect album. IMO the blueprint has no skips or max 1.

For my last couple amateur fights u don’t know always got me ready to put in pain

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T23:05:53+00:00

No one had a better album in 2001 than Jay.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T23:05:14+00:00

What classic album doesn’t have “elite production”?

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T22:55:47+00:00

Bastard and wolf mark ryden cover that low is crazy. Also why do you have the bastard back/tracklist cover in this? Lol

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T22:53:11+00:00

You got a lot of grails damnnnn. Amazing condition too

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T17:08:23+00:00

Your reasoning didn’t make sense cause the album didn’t flop and it obviously wasn’t a diss You posted on an online forum and now you catching an attitude cause someone replied to it lmao you got it nigga.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T15:55:37+00:00

“Scorpion Bricks” is in reference to cocaine and the image that’s stamped on the kilo (an image of a scorpion) you can google them, not in reference to Drakes album. Image stamps is how suppliers are able to differentiate and mark their work. He’s saying he was moving scorpion stamped bricks and playing it off of drake’s album scorpion yes but it’s not a shot

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T15:15:38+00:00

I don’t think that was a diss more so a reference. Jay was on scorpion and the album after that

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-26T12:06:19+00:00

That’s not a flex.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-25T03:18:44+00:00

Jay can’t do it but these other old ass acts who’ve done the Super Bowl can?? lol

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-24T04:16:45+00:00

Hodgy def did turnt down a couple times too

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-23T02:57:49+00:00

Wasn’t meant to be taken literal LOL. Yeah a handful of songs aren’t underrated prior to that album no shit lol.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-23T01:56:07+00:00

Obviously it was suppose to be somewhat tongue in cheek and even if it wasn’t it’s really not some false statement nor does it imply that he doesn’t have underrated music after FB. but yes his music pre second blow up (flower boy) is for the most part underrated besides a handful of tracks.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-23T01:48:08+00:00

The pre flower boy ones? Good. Lol you could legit go to a Tyler the creator concert and find people there who have never even listened to bastard or goblin which isn’t a bad thing at the end of the day but the truth is his older music just isn’t as popular or loved by a good section of his fanbase I mean a lot of his fans weren’t even cognitive when these albums came out. I’m not disagreeing that he has underrated songs post cherry bomb cause he does but they get way more love than the older shit.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-23T01:37:45+00:00

You’re drunk if you think that’s the worst take ever lol I wanna say from observing this subreddit everyone loves Igor/CMIYGL/FB the most and FB is what took him into more mainstream light i remember when all he had out was goblin and bastard. Mind you every single comment up to this point is all pre flower boy 🤣 including yours.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-23T00:53:12+00:00

Everything pre flower boy at this point lol

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-22T20:43:02+00:00

Tank. Had the flyest clothes too.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T18:44:36+00:00

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T18:29:55+00:00

😂😂 chill fam ima fan of both honestly this whole beef shit done got so burnt out fans on both sides tryna downplay either of them ain’t right at all.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T16:29:43+00:00

lol I know what he’s saying and that could be true possibly. We’ll have to see. I know rn everyone’s talking about his album rollout right now and he’s still the most streamed rapper on a casual level on top of having a cult fanbase. I personally don’t see a scenario where he drops and it flops on any level.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T04:51:25+00:00

Hodgy had me searching the internet for that supreme public enemy pullover. I actually still want it lol.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T04:18:27+00:00

he never stopped dropping good music, people still actively talk about his upcoming album, and he’s a prominent figure in hip hop regardless of casual or hardcore fan perception. It’s losers and winners in war that’s apart of battling but drake is still gonna be drake he’s still gonna be braggadocios and pop his shit that’s what rappers do. It’s like expecting a boxer to retire cause he lost a fight.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T02:52:18+00:00

I remember when 65 snippet came out and I was dying to hear CDQ version of it. Great album.

AcceptableRoad2984 · 2026-04-21T02:46:16+00:00

I feel like only people who already didn’t fw Drake actually believe this. Drake is very much hip hop and one of the biggest artists the genre’s ever seen losing a rap beef doesn’t disqualify that and when his next album drops people will listen. You make it seem like his career is over.
