Its not knowing the name of his songs, Its like this, I know U2 is the biggest band in the world, I don't know any of their songs because I don't listen to their music, but I cant deny that they are absolutely huge worldwide, Feel me?

11 number one albums? He's officially top 3 all time on anybody's list. Can't touch his album sales. And everything he raps about is the truth not none of this fabricated stuff you here nowadays. Nas had it right: Hip Hop Is Dead.

Yeah, I see what your saying. I do know the guys name even though I dont know his songs, so that should mean something. He probably is the biggest.

Not talking about just Rap...Music in General

I would say yes, he could go any where and someone would know who he is. If you say Jay-Z to any random group of people they would know who it is. Album sales speak for themself.

I use to be a huge Jay-Z fan, but his music quality has plummeted but you can't blame him, you cant expect him to rap like he did on Reasonable Doubt 13 years after being in the game. He is now making music to get as much radio play as possible and music for every one, and he only cares about money and record sales. Can't blame him.

Unfortunately if he rapped like Reasonable Doubt he would not be world wide superstar outside of Hip hop, his music is commercial friendly but the quality is very good.
