    Jay’s not White and he’s not dead. Jay is also a billionaire rapper so I don’t know how true that statement is.

    Well if most of them can say with a straight face that Europe capital is Paris and that London is a great country anything is possible lol.
    And to stay on topic, OP is 100% right Jay-z doesn't even come close to the respect Em and 2pac get outside the US, which is sad.

    He gets his due props across the globe. I think what OP means is that he gets clowned/discredited for his excess and materialism or something? Like references to him being a sellout, losing to Nas, being called a camel, voice mocked and whatnot.

    Similar to how Drake gets clowned but he's respected generally and is still popping.

    With that said, those gripes are usually echoed by insular hip-hop communities. He has an abundant amount of fans that champion his music without getting stuck into the other s---.

    I don’t know.

    Here in latin america most people hate guys like Jay Z or Kanye West. Millionaires with a big ego.

    Pac is known by posers who thinks that 90s is the best era of rap just because “everything was better in the past” and Em because he has some catchy hooks like Stan and he is white.

    I don't think that he has the same "legendary" status as Pac or Em, at least in Poland. When somebody says that he likes jay z It means that he more or less listens and know anything about rap, when absolutely everybody loves pac and em, so I guess I get where OPs coming from

    What I mean is if u ask random people on the street about jay z they will probably say hey the guy from that rihanna song?? Or the alicia keys song?

    I hate that its the case but jay isnt as popular as he deserves to be (outside of US especially)

    Jay pops up in more or less every top 5 discussion, I’d say he’s already there. Obviously there’s the weird crowd who think rap fell off after 1995 and anyone who’s ever made a hit is an irredeemable sellout, but that’s a minority, Jay’s been consistently successful for his whole career
