He didn't "fall off".
He gracefully retired at the top of his game and made a couple of comebacks.
His last 3 albums (Magna Carter, Watch The Throne, Blueprint 3) are as good as anybody else's last 3 albums since 2009.

He should have stayed retired. Everything after his comeback is straight MJ wizards status...stratch that, that's still too good. it's straight MJ playing baseball status.

Jay doesn't have a Wack album.

Huh? You telling me this ? spittin with the same wittiness, flow & charisma he used too? Gtfoh. Jayz now & Jayz then aren't anywhere near being similar. Jay sucks noyTurfaholic wrote: »Hov hasnt fell off.
His content has changed.
He's among the last few OG's who can hop on todays hits. I heard a few say they dont care for a Hov verse in 2016. But I get hyped when I hear "Dont Love You No More" & that "All They Way Up". "Lemonade's a popular drink and it still is" was a meh ass line, but all it wouldve took to change it up was a trademark Hov cocky chuckle. NH.

The second verse of lost one...but then by the third verse he was back on...but then he fell off again by the next song. He just been an off n on type rapper for awhile now

What's wrong with you ? . Jay is a better lyricist than he was at the time of the black album. American Gangster is his 3rd best album, and everytime he drop a verse it's a platinum thread. Hell, a ? even made a thread and successfully got it stickied(Albeit for a very short time) for an album that nobody on the face of the earth, including Jay has heard about.
I believe he's 3 for 4 on his last 4 public verses. Drug Dealers anonymous(Dope), All the way up(Meh), Seen it all(Classic), We Made It(Classic).
He was spittin on Magna Carta too, the album just got pretty much everything else wrong. If he go back to his roots as an artist, you already know what time it is.
Jay might ebb and flow in quality of albums, but that ? never fell off his whole career.
Ya'll gotta chill. -
Every since he got filmed with shorts on.
? got Flamingo legs. -

So you thought he had nice legs before? -
Jay never fell off. His focus shifted. It's clear (to me anyway) that when it comes to albums, his focus is on overall themes and sonically rich production rather than just bars.
Then every blue moon he'll pen a joint like his verse on Drug Dealers Anonymous to let people like the T/S know that ? ain't sweet and he can still get busy at any given moment. -
He didn't fall off! He's just getting old, that's like asking when did Michael Jordan fall off? His time just came to move on from the game of basketball. If you heard that "All The Way Up Remix" you'll hear that J still has it.

I pretty much only come into threads you make for these kind of off topic, emotional soliloquies. They are buried like chunks of comedy gold found within so many layers of muck and mud. -
Why so much hate for BP3?
It wasn't one of his best albums, but I wouldn't say it was garbage. And it was definitely listenable. Better than BP2
His flow somewhat changed but he was still Jay
Already Home, As Real As it Gets, What We Talkin Bout, Thank You, So Ambitious>>>
Empire State of Mind, Run This Town, A Star Is Born, D.O.A. ....were hit singles/serviceable tracks
I will admit Hate, Mar vs Venus were garbage
-
He hit his peak at the black album, kingdom come was wack juice, came back strong with American Gangster.. after that he fell thr ? off imo. He's just living off his name at this point. That's my opinion.

Yeah haha ? is sad. Must be the saddest thing until Mohammed Ali died -
AG was his last hot album. Had some nice verses here and there bp3 had some cuts but the wack outweigh the good. His albums after that I don't care for and I hate when he uses that lazy ads flow where he sounds like he's having a conversation.
