@realyung4 @HarrietEve9 @YoungSweetJonez Nobody was checking for Hov…

Brother, you were up at 5AM wishing Jay-Z Happy Birthday 😂

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

@SuperCeezy @mymixtapez I thought you was about to make some deep grounding point. The conclusion was basically

“Jay-Z wasn’t as famous in 1996 as he is in 2026.”

No shit.

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

@SuperCeezy @mymixtapez I’m not even sure what point we’re making anymore. We started at ‘nobody was paying attention’ and now we’re at ‘he wasn’t as globally famous as he is 30 years later.?

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

@SuperCeezy @mymixtapez An independent artist getting 4 mics in The Source in 1996 sounds like somebody was paying attention. Yall talk about Jay Z like he was a some unknown rapper handing out CDs in a parking lot.

@realyung4 @HarrietEve9 @YoungSweetJonez Aye @realyung4, You literally got tweets callin’ Jay-Z the “GOAT”, “the smartest artist” and you wished that man Happy Birthday at 5 in the morning back in 2014 lol.

Sounds like somebody was checking for Hov.

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

@realyung4 @HarrietEve9 @YoungSweetJonez Saying nobody cared about Hov is crazy. Big mentioned him in interviews, put him on Life After Death, Pac dissed him by name, he was making records with Mary J. Blige, Foxy Brown and working with producers like DJ Premier & Clark Kent.
Jay Z was not a local unknown rapper

@Manlike_Solz What’s interesting is nobody really explains why one rapper is better than another. Most debates are just about popularity. Very few people are discussing lyricism, storytelling, delivery, or songwriting. No major platform is really hosting those detailed Hip Hop discussions

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

@HarrietEve9 @YoungSweetJonez 43K first week sales in 1996 as an independent artist isn’t the flop you’re making it out to be. Jay-Z wasn’t backed by a major label machine yet, and Reasonable Doubt still went on to become a Hip Hop classic. Y’all keep judging ‘90s albums by today’s standards.

@coolmike00 A lot of people don’t realize locs can actually be combed out. They think your only option is cutting them off

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

Just saw a video of someone making peanut butter & jelly chicken wings and man… I think I want some for breakfast lol

@Manlike_Solz Papoose had talent, but Cassidy had the better story. In Hip Hop, bars alone don’t sell people on you. Cassidy had legendary battles, hits, controversy, and a comeback story. Papoose was respected, but never really had a narrative/storyline the masses bought into

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

Watching 8 Mile and just realized
B-Rabbit got some ass off a lunch break battle rap lol

@callmediva405 A man not knowing how to box doesn’t mean he can’t defend himself. Boxing is a sport, self defense is a survival skill. Those are two different conversations.

[Count Buffalo @countBuffalo25]

@TheFilesWithDUB These lyrics are from 2002.

People have been throwing darts at Jay-Z for decades, but now we’re supposed to believe he’s the bully?

Hip Hop used to be a contact sport.

@Slackonbothsydz Joe Budden didn’t even defend himself when Consequence slapped him on Love & Hip Hop, now he’s got advice on how rappers should respond?

@woodwardsports The worst time to trade a star is after everyone knows he wants out
