Yes or yes?

Musically and as a person

Hov is only boring if you aren’t a real nigga

I know what you are OP

Honestly Yes

That's how I'd like to be. Not getting into bs

Op is commie confirmed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yes

Hov's GOAT status is entirely propaganda

Wouldn't say propaganda

But it is overstated.

Kanye more iconic and influential that's for sure

Nah I definitely think there was a concerted campaign made by Roc-A-Fella, Def Jam, and NYC hip-hop media to start calling Jay the GOAT around a decade ago

Wrong for both

Also think HOV might be the smartest mainstream rapper ever

goat

So for most people?

Thanks for confirming

Nah...you reaching.

Bro got in the conversation after dropping 3 classics(RD, BP, TBA) in a crazy 7-8 year run(96-03) where he had bars for weeks and influencing the culture.

Now, I will say some of the efforts to make Jay out to be the undisputed GOAT partly come from his financial success and industry ties but, overall, him being in the GOAT conversation is 100% deserved just for that prime alone.

Never mind AG, the WTT tour, 4:44, and him bodying Jay Elec on his own album.

i tend to agree

he's a big rapper not boring has some classics but compared to other NY rappers in the 90s and 2000s i'd argue ja rule, 50 cent, biggie, nas all sold better and had a much bigger impact

I'll grant you Biggie and Nas. Maybe 50 too if we're talking international recognition.

But Ja Rule?

Nigga.....Jay is super impactful....just not in terms of having a huge mainstream peak.

Blueprint alone is one of the most quoted rap albums in history and Jay is a big influence on many rappers after him including Wayne, Ye, TI, Kendrick, Drake, Cole, Ross, etc.
