    When i judge a rapper i just technical abilities, catalog, and impact. I think he check the box more than any other rapper imo. To me Jay and Dre got the strongest lineage in rap as far as who they put on or influenced.

    Who did jay put on?

    FOH

    Big was not the greatest that's a toss up

    Him putting anybody on dont really got nothing to do with him as far as what he's put out. In a way it would kinda be a testament to dude being able to hold his own to not be all about other rappers. If he aint put anybody on that wouldnt hurt his case for what he's put out. So considering his career is there really anything anyone can really say against it? As far as if you dont consider him the greatest, there is undeniable accomplishments. That objectively put him in the convo if not in that spot.

    JAY-Z is the greatest rapper to do it... his career is unmatched and the longevity speaks for itself, it's a wrap sorry B.I.G. & 2Pac... he had maybe 2 lackluster albums that by today's standards would be the best ? out today

    Yeah. two different things. If the convo was business man and someone who put on a lot of rappers, there is a great case for Master P. But greatest rappers, thats a discussion that I dont see any way Jay z isnt in that discussion. Even though I dont necessarily agree he is number one, its not like saying so is off. He's achieved a place in very exclusive company.

    I don't think anybody denies that Jay is in the GROAT discussion. A lot of people just don't feel he's the hands down winner as some claim. Just for me, it's telling when so many factors that have nothing to do with rap are being used to justify his status. Like what does putting on other rappers even have to do with how good you can rap?

    Its like I just cant just give him that #1 status. Ironically, his consistency and longevity may be a big part of it. The fact he's still out and hi music isnt so exclusive and songs from him arent so rare. In hind site, at some point in the future maybe looking back would be a different perspective for people. But even then, do people say Michealangelo was "greater" than Davinci, etc? Not really there may be preferences but they are basically viewed on their own merits not as a competition. So who knows. Was Beethoven "greater" than Bach? Doesnt really matter. I dont even think too many people even think in those terms. Not going to try to downplay what he's managed to do though so I can understand someone thinking he is if thats their particular opinion.

    Able to hold his own? The album in discussion is his highest seller Ever!… 14 songs 12 of which had features only 2 solos 1 witch was a sample wit a hook already on it… ride or die & alright are the only solo jay songs on vol 2

    Also, I'm seeing a lot of people saying how Jay had a HUGE impact and contribution to hiphop, but i dont think i saw anyone say what they were. If you're going to list stuff that happened in the last few years please, don't bother. I say that because there are so many news a blog outlets now that will report anything in the hopes of click bait.

    I have a feeling some of you are using those word too lightly like its easily accomplished.

    Jay had no impact his entire career was outsmarting not relivency he always grasp to whatever was hot at the moment and jump on to the next b4 the In got out I give em credit on at… but how's he the goat when all his biggest singles had futures? His highest selling cd was a future compilation cd he had 2 songs by himself non of which made the singles 5x plat…post a jay z hit wit no feature or sample…

    You know how pac said against all odds is the realest ? he ever wrote?

    Thats kind of a different convo like we was saying but really...its the results. Like Im trying to get rich. So to make hundreds of millions legally is something. It wouldnt benefit me to downplay success that is beyond my own (financially) I think its beneficial to peep game...nothing too much deeper than that. I will admit while early on I wasnt really a fan of dude but over the years he's simply shown and proved. So going in Im not someone who really has too much of a problem with dude so Im looking at it from that perspective. I dont agree with everything he's ever done, said, or presented though.

    The answer is NO, Jay is not "officially" the GROAT.

    Here's why, Bob Marley is OFFICIALLY The greatest Reggae singer of all time. If you asked 100 people who's the greatest Reggae singer 95% would say Bob Marley.

    If you asked 100 people who's the greatest rapper of all time I doubt Jay would even get 50% of the votes.

    If we're using the word "officially" then that means the vast majority of Rap fans would consider Jay the GROAT and I just don't think people feel that Jay has done for Rap what Bob Marley has done for Reggae.

    Nah you didn't make sense at all, we respect Jay for his lyrics, flow and word play not for the hooks anybody else might be singing for him.
    Plus is there anything wrong with artists collaboration?
    Don't it feel good to hear biggie and jay on a song together whether it be brooklyns finest, I love the dough or young Gs
    You seriously saying Jay didn't make any impact in hip hop?
