Do you consider Jay-Z one of the greatest rappers of all time?

[LongLiveTheKing]

Eminem is better

[RoundMoundOfReb]

No. One of the most overrated rappers ever.

[Pushxx]

His voice quality has always irked me. I could deal with it when his music was better. Now I don't particularly enjoy listening to him.

Respect to his career.

[BrownEye007]

No. Don't really like any of his songs.

[NumberSix]

Jay-Z from 1996-2001 is one of the best of all time.

[Nastradamus]

Every album is listenable, his flow is always strong and he knows how to construct a song, usually with a strong hook. Lyrically he's quite average, maybe slightly above.

I think his "downfall" is quite overstated. MCHG was a strong album. Watch the Throne is amazing too, even if Kanye is the driving force. American Gangster is overlooked. BP3 and Kingdom Come are pretty average, but they have good tracks(On to the next one, Good Lord, etc.)

[T_L_P]

Reasonable Doubt is a top 10 rap album of all time.

Literally everything else is mediocre and boring.

[Just2McFly]

Jay-Z from 1996-2001 is one of the best of all time.

change that to 03 and i agree...
