Hip Hop Tuesdays: Jay-Z

Shawn Corey Carter (born December 4, 1969)

In the Old School Hip Hop class year book, this Rapper would be listed under least likely to succeed. He went on to score hits and lead a successful Label after starting out with Jaz-O. Although he has been accepted by Hip Hop heads and I have more Jay-Z Albums in my collection than I should. I still stick by my opinion that he has one of the most off-key flows in the history of Hip Hop. He remains active; please take a listen here and Happy Hip Hop Tuesday: Feelin' it, Big Pimpin' (ft. UGK), (Always be my) Sunshine ft. Foxy Brown and Babyface, Where I'm from and The City is mine (ft. Blackstreet)
