Jay has even written for DRE amongst others. If Sauce Money was so GREAT, then why didn't he and Jazzo come together to take the man down? He gave them ample opportunity to do so? What's that you say.....your in the bathroom shootin' up? Oh, my bad......I leave you alone then. I HATE ME A HATER!!!!! Oh, and @ #3 from Philly, I’m sorry but that was just hate.

Jay-Z is still a GREAT rapper, one of the best to ever do it as a matter of fact wheather I still like his music or NOT and that is my honest opinion. The way I feel, it's not that Jay-Z is "38", it's more about his recent life experiences have already been talked about TO DEATH and he needs to hang it up because of it. When you have to use someone elses life, in order comfortably talke about what you USED TO BE in order to sell because the NEW YOU doesn't sell, it's time baby, it's time!!!!! He is no longer the gangster he used to be, everyone knows that and I don't think he is trying to deny that,but the NEW Jay-Z just doesn't and I don't think at any stage EVER WOULD be excepted by the masses?!!! He was GREAT at telling gangster stories!!! The BEST on the Eastcoast to ever do it really IMO. But he needs to find anothe way to stay relevent. Using someone else, to be able to be the high seller that you used to be is called REACHING!!! And at his age, it's just plain pathetic and a desperate attempt to stay in people's mouths. He isn't the Jay he used to be and never will be again, and I am PERFECTLY okay with that, but it doesn't seem like HE is okay with that. He needs to except and move on. It's embarracing for me to watch this dude at this point, just like he is embarraced to watch "Fade to Black". I am a grown woman over 25 and I have not listened to the radio since BEFORE the No Limit, Master P days. I'm familiar with today's artists, but I don't listen to them so I am in NO WAY compairing a great like Jay-Z to them, unlike most of his "fans" do saying shit like "He's better than Soulja boi" and STUPID ASS REMARKS LIKE THAT. THAT'S OBVIOUS AND GOES WITHOUT SAYING. I 'm just saying this to let people know it's not because I like the new hip-hop BETTER than Jay, it's just that the life he lives now is not built for hip-hop....it's much bigger and I would enjoy seeing him do BIGGER thangs than fuck around with this JOKE of an industry from an artist perspective. Just because you are GREAT at something, doesn't mean that is what you are supposed to be doing. Sometimes being a great means going out on top AND STAYING ON TOP BECAUSE OF IT. But instead, he had to come back and completely compromise that situation. No hate, just my opinion and I appologies for any typo's lol.

So what if he 37 yrs old. He still better than Soulja Boy, TI, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Mims, Fabolous, and most of these hot rappers out. With the exception of TI and Fab, I don't even care for the rest. They all suck or are overated. Like on some real ya'll need to stop the hate and just think about it. Lil Wayne aint on the same level as Jay Z. At all. Wayne don't have a classic album, he don't have as many hits, he aint the president of no record label, he don't even have the skill of Jay Z. I don't care if Wayne is a rookie. That's enough for you to say that he aint on Jay's level. Jay is a hip hop icon. Wayne is just a up and coming rapper. No grammy's, no major awards outside of BET or anything. Name 5 Wayne number one singles. Exactly. No one is fuckin with Hov right now and like I said I don't know what I would do with out him. They way hip hop is goin, Jay needs to be here for the next 5 years. Like seriously. Jay is gonna prove that age is just a number. And 40 years aint old. Look at Bret Favre, Shaq, and all those athletes over 30. They still domiate and they still relevent. Thing with music is, you never lose your skill like sports. So if Jay can keep it comin like this he needs to be here knocking on 50. I'm just keepin it real. I don’t know what I would do without Jay. So what if he 37 yrs old. He still better than Soulja Boy, TI, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Mims, Fabolous, and most of these hot rappers out. With the exception of TI and Fab, I don’t even care for the rest.
