I see. Well, I guess I'll have a small word here. Jay-Z isn't really about Hip-Hop. He's more about Hip-Hop/Pop. He's an entertainer now, and has nothing really good to rap about. His songs are pretty catchy most of the time. But, I don't think there's much wrong with that. I mean, most popular musical genres have 'real' artists, and they have their entertainer type of artists. People want to be entertained as well, and I don't really see something wrong with that.
