By the way, I wasn't posting strictly to hate on Jay-Z, I could do that anyways, but rather to dispute that review's insinuation that Jay-Z is the best or biggest rapper of all-time (that is, unless people really don't dig the Stones
)
I don't really like Jay-Z, but I give respect to any artist or producer who is consistently prolific, its just that being a veteran doesn't exclude honest criticism out of matters of style and taste.
Besides, E-40 got way more albums and started years earlier than Jay-Z but that shit is quasi-underground..
