Sean Carter other wise known as Jay-Z,Hova,young hova,Jay-hova,S.Carter or Jigga is one of the most brilliant rappers in the history of hip hop. His endless flow, deep lyrics, and ofcourse his brillance sets him apart from the commercial and overated mainstream hip hop artists today. To me, and to many, Jay-Z's lyrics are couragess and some are just down right touching. He tells his story on a level of brilliance and meaningfullness that surpasses the crap and stupid shit people are now calling hip hop. Some people don't know what he is talking about or dont understand his lyrics but that is clearly a case of ignorance or those kinds of people just need to really listen to his lyrics although it is understandable that poeple could be baffled by his greatness and the heavyness of his words. Despite all of this, Jay-Z has maintainded a small head which he carries quite well on his shoulders. He is the current president and CEO of Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella Records. If anyone in this fucked up world has any sense he will go down in history as one of the greatist rappers that has ever walked the face of this earth.
I love Izzo,Regrets,Renegade featuring Eninem,and 99 problems. The Grey Album shows off Jay-Z's creativity and the layering of music is crazy.

this is for # 28, u kall ur self "zeebo tha barber" or sum shyte lyke that. u r fucking dum. u say he only raps about money? try listening to renegade, moment of clarity, or bk's finest.
here is a REAL smaple of Jay-z rap:
" I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollerin? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me - I'm awkward, I box leftier often
My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown; 'specially on nights
I brought somethin home to quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor - thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin green up
Raisin my fingers to critics; raisin my head to the sky
Big I did it - multi before I die (nigga)
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight"

Some of the definitions on here are crack! A crappy performance in Ray?! the man captured Ray Charles perfectly and hello...Ray Charles HIMSELF approved of Jamie Foxx for the movie! That movie was deep,insightful,and amazing! I'd like to see any of ya'll be a blind man for 3 months on a movie set!! Also some of you should do a little research before you post things like "no one really knows why is he famous" because you have obviously not seen him on In Living Color season 5. But i will admit him and rnb just dont mix...unpredictable that it was so bad. very out of character for him. stick to acting and comedy, jamie.
in living color was my favorite. Jamie Foxx was amazin in Ray.
