Why are Jay tracks/verses treated as if they are the most luxurious things to have?

I don't get it? Everytime he drops some form of music, the entire world suddenly stops in time. It's like they are seeing a piece of gold when they find out he has music coming out.

    Because him and Em are probably the last of the superstar rappers. Oh yeah, Kanye too.

    True but nothing competes with 'New Jay-Z' or 'Ft. Jay-z'. Nothing.

    On some real ? , since 06, he been on some groundhog ? , poppin up randomly, droppin an album or song and disappearing from the public eye again. Even his features are random and less frequent. Lacking in quality of course, but it's Jay. I say appreciate ? like him while they still here, cuz ? knows we won't see dudes like that in a while.

    Actually they are here now. And it's either Drake(most likely) and Kendrick

    They fall in the "? like him" category. Maybe not so much Drake, he drops music so frequently people are gonna get tired of him. Unless he takes a vacay.

    I dunno if i'd put Lil Wayne in that category. He puts out music so frequently, you get the chance to anticipate. He's the embodiment of oversaturation.

    IMO, Eminem is the only one from ur list who can compare in terms of getting people talking about his music and getting an opinion from everyone, regardless of them being a fan.

    My guess is because people are interested in what he has to say. They see him on all the websites & blogs and are mesmerized by him & his fake marriage w/ Beyonce. The average dumb hiphop fan don't realize the benefit of bein two married celebrities is they keep each other relevant and talked about without constantly putting out music.








    Plus when they mention Jay's networth they always add Beyonce's too,makin it seem like it's all Jay.


    Without B, Jay wouldn't be able to stand next to Obama or invited to white house dinners

    Cause Drake and Wayne do a lot of guest features. Jay-Z doesn't do very many, and Kanye is kinda in between the two.

    nah, you missin the point...he answered the question with: 'he has a huge fan base...Em, to a lesser extent Drake, Wayne and Kanye and so on............

    So my question is, how do you figure that those artists have a huge fan base, BUT TO A LESSER EXTENT, yet those artists sell more than that ? ... :unno

    Maybe it's because he's one of the best MCs ever

    or maybe it's because he's been in the rap game maintaining and winning since 95/96

    Or maybe it's because he was down w/ Jaz O in the late 80's/90's and made some great songs way back then

    Or maybe it's because he's the 2nd highest paid dude in hip hop ..period

    Or maybe it's because he has branched out into businesses way beyond music so a lot of ppl know him

    Or maybe it's because he has a great network and is smart as ? ,respected,and a staple in NY hip hop

    maybe just maybe it's one of these

    or maybe you're a troll
