Jay-Z hasn't made a song/verse in years that I'd like, dude use to be nice but now he's just rappin' for rap sake not inspiring and he's got no energy when he raps and it shows.

Yeah LL has done plenty commercial or sold out songs but what I like about him is that even on those commercial albums he did he always had at least one boom bap joint where he's just spittin' some ill lyrics for the homies and comes off better than Jay-Z's recent material all day; but I will admit that last indie album LL did "Authentic" the music was corny but lyrically he still was angry on it.
