People Change. Things Change.
Do you want Jay Z to be EXACTLY like KRS? PE? JJFP? He won't be. He's his own person. he does things his way. He's spit some really good tracks. Some really meaningful joints. Lets try to look past the Jigga What, and Dirt of Ya Shoulders(Which nboth, I like for what they are), and lets look into the Dead presidents, D'Evils, Feelin It, U don't Know, song Cry, Never Change, Renegade, Heart of the City, Momwnt of Clarity, Allure...The list goes on.....
The same Way Will Smith is himself, and does things his way, Jay Z is HIMSELF and oes things HIS way. HE doesn't do it just for money.
