People are theorizing that newer generations don’t recognize Jay-Z or know any of his music because they’re actually analyzing artists critically, and they can clearly see the manipulative, calculated tactics, industry puppetry, and fake persona behind his entire brand

Lmfao yet can’t see Drake is a culture vulture… lmfao. This generation is hive minded. Jay Z came out in the 2pac era yall should leave that man alone. That generation lives for what Drake sued about.

Jay-Z been dodgy for years I don't understand why people like him so much especially Beyoncé's fans after everything he did to her...

Lol idgaf about a rapper's ethics, can he or she deliver a bop for my ears to enjoy that's all I care about!😆

It was 90's millennials that expose Jay z Gen Z just listen 🤣

People have known about jayz being crooked since the 80s…why do gen z be thinking they the first ones to discover something lmaooooo

lol man, she said narrative about 50 times and never provided any proof of evidence to support your argument. Hov is manipulative cause the moon and the sun aligned on a Tuesday 😂

You make good points but the Gez-Z angle holds no weight. You ever listen to Naz or Jaguar speak on him??? Furthermore explain YB or Sexy Red being at the forefront of this generation. Let’s not be hypocritical.

Nah pack these arguments up. Gen z shows ignorance by thinking they are special. Every single generation feels this way until they mature and realize that nothing they’ve known is new or profound. Lots of folks stopped championing Jay z before you mfs were even on the internet.

Jay-Z was always a plant and always overrated. I'm a millennial and I've known this from the jump if it wasnt for Pac and big dying this dude would have never been on the map. Also the below!

Get this young lady an award 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m not a jayz fan or a fan of any body, It’s not about a generation doing something different….this is a weird way of thinking I’m born in 85 and I see thru the BS including the BS you on…have u ever LISTENED to how sound when u speak….it’s scary

As much as people talk crap about Gen Z, they are the ones who actually are resisting the programming at a high level and that’s what I admire about them

I was with you until you insulted my generation. Information was not as accessible as it is now, the narrative was easily controlled back then honey.

Or...or...maybe we just looked at him as just what he was/is: a rapper. I don't understand why people look at these celebrities as anything other than that. They're not activists. They're not politicians. They're entertainers. Why would we need to psychoanalyze them?

This woman have no idea what she's talking about And she needs some therapy. She's overanalyzing and misleading her information. All I hear is blah blah, blah, blah, blah manipulation manipulation. She doesn't know when manipulation is, but she's trying to manipulate and lie

It’s 2026. The jig is up

He need to speak for yourself. I’m 60 years old. I don’t fuck with Jay-Z or his wife Beyoncé so I know what time it is.

No, you have a first generation to come and think that y’all know everything like everybody else wasn’t your age before we don’t give a fuck about Jay-Z because we already know what he was doing. You just didn’t know what he was doing and you just now finding out.

"Idk tho" at the end killed me lmao

Other generations are not hyping up jay-z that’s Hollywood hyping up jay-z. Just because he was on the radio every hour doesn’t mean we asked for it. Radio stations don’t even take request.

No. It’s easy to evaluate something that has already happened and all the bullet points and facts are clear to see. Hind sight is 20/20. In real time it was hard to see what was going on. Especially since things were more private. Socials changed a lot of things.

i see what she saying but i think she could take page out of Jay Z's book and practice brevity

@DaKuntEmpress rindoooo eu simplesmente AMO a geração Z

Huuuuuuuuuh….you all were not there. Simple as that. Your living in hindsight and it feels very righteous and better than and “we can see him” because you all were introduced to the mega business man jay z…. He was just another celebrity when we met him.

I’m Gen-X and jayz has always been pussy and weird. Anyone who can shit on your day 1 and not honor that relationship is trash 🚮

Gen Z really here to shake shit up from the celebrities to the politicians, Gen Z on ass

How she speaking on stuff she probably wasn't even alive for?

I knew I wasn't the only one, me being a small girl watching his videos I was so confused by what I was watching

New generation has more access to information, which truthfully they only choose to use for celebrity topics like this and nothing actually productive in society. These people were not “in power” years ago, they would be like your Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande, Drake’s of today.

He never started out that way. And it’s easy to look at everything and read everything that the generations have said about him before you were even born and to look at him now and put the picture together. This girl knows nothing, just reading what’s alrdy been laid out for her

she cooked

Gen X here. Didn’t rock w Jay Z then and don’t now, for most of the reasons you stated. There’s dumbness in all generations… But as always, some of us have been aware all along and said so.

I ain’t fw dude when he first got with Beyoncé but what really did it was when he had all the artist invest and sign to tidal just to sell it and basically pull the rug.

DMX is dead big fan of years. I already knew that he sold dope use dope and Robbed little old ladies by snatching their purchases he made it abundantly clear of what he was. But I’m not gonna get on TikTok talking about how terrible of a guy he was and how all his fans were sleep

Could say the same about sexy red , Kodak, NBA , I’m not a jay fan but to say that it’s only our generation is ignorant.
