I listen to this whole album the day it released September 11, 2001 in my homeboy garage front to back back this was before social media and before ETHER.
I can guarantee you the only thing me and my homeboy talked about that day were the twin towers & this album, and we talked about renegade specifically for a long time and how Jay got washed on that song.
There was nobody to influence us,There was only the song and Jay-Z being my homeboy‘s favorite rapper admitted Jay got washed first,
So let’s stop with the bullshit a spade is a spade.
😄this for damn sure better be bait because ain’t no way this serious as long as renegade exist,
However,
The thing I respect about Jay on renegade that a lot of people don’t realize Renegade already had Eminem’s verses locked in before Jay ever stepped in the booth.
It was originally a song for Royce da 5’9.
So Jay heard exactly what Em laid down and didn’t try to match it or compete with it just stayed in his own lane,
That’s actually self-awareness. Most rappers would’ve forced it trying to go bar for bar.
Y’all are in the comments debating me with my own points. I am disappointed in all of you for not being able to grasp the simplest of concepts , You all get Fs , I’m disturbed you participate in society with us . You should all be found at your current place of employment demoted and under investigation. Slurpee IQs across the board bruh.
Y’all don’t know what “pop” stands for. “Pop” is short for popular.
When you call someone a “pop” artist, you’re saying they’re a POPular artist that’s it. It has nothing to do with genre. Any genre can become POP music the moment it crosses over into mainstream POPularity.
you just shared a Wikipedia post that literally says what the fuck I said that’s why I don’t go back-and-forth with y’all so much because y’all don’t wanna hear nobody. You just wanna say shit how the fuck you gonna show me a source literally saying the same shit I’m saying to you??! everybody debating with me about this shit is beyond fucking goofy. Are you reading the shit halfway or you just picking up on words you recognize this shit says what the fuck I said.
@Imflashart You’re asking psychological questions on a platform built entirely on parasocial dynamics.
Which equates to asking someone how they got so flexible with your own dick in your mouth.
my goat on stage looking like Dennis Rodman and Whoopi Goldberg gave birth to a drag queen muppet and will still go bar for bar with your favorite on his worse day.
Key word “BROAD”
Broad means wide, general, not narrow, not limited, not highly specific. So when Google calls pop a BROAD genre, they’re telling you it has no specific sound of its own. It covers a large scope. Any genre that gets popular enough falls under that scope. Basically, if any song in any genre gets popular enough, it will go to the pop charts and be considered a pop song as well. It doesn’t matter if it’s hip-hop country or polka if it becomes popular, it is now considered pop pop music does not have a specific sound. It’s whatever is popular.
(not battling just rapping straight spittin, I gave up on the Young Money trinity in direct battles, the only one that will actually battle is Drake, Wayne and Nicki just ain’t made for that idk why please stfu in advance tho and appreciate Weezy💯)
“Popular Sounds” isn’t in any dictionary, etymology database, or music theory textbook on earth.
What I said is an actual fact you can look up. “Pop” is a contraction of “popular.” That’s the documented origin of the word. Not opinion.
And even by the definition YOU gave, “Popular Sounds,” music that sounds like everybody else, is just music that already achieved mass popularity. That’s the same thing.
The same Cascio family who put fake songs on MJ’s posthumous album “Michael” then lied about it ,spent decades defending him publicly, wrote a whole book about what a great guy he was, and cut a financial settlement with his estate.
Now they’re his accusers.
The timing has never once NOT followed the money.
absolute lying pieces of shit.
