Can you name a solo Jay-Z song?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hard Knock Life, 99 Problems, HOVA, Excuse Me Miss, Tom Ford...

 

Arguably his albums are more known than the singles, who doesn't know Blueprint 1 and 2, The Black Album and Magna Carta.

No.

 

The kworb stats are abysmal, so it seems I'm in the majority here. 

 

daily overall streams 8,073,058

 

daily solo streams 769,292

oh I expected at least a million

Dirt off Your Shoulder

 

The way y'all constantly try to attack US artists is so funny lmfao. Y'all are obsessed with US charts, where Jay Z is a staple :skull: he hasn't released new music since 2017 there's been nothing promoting his catalog either so I'm not surprised his Spotify streams are low. 

 

Jay Z is probably the best musician from my city. And he put us on a big map even after Biggies passing. There's not top 5 rappers lists without his name in it. The legacy is secured whether young listeners are super familiar or not. Hopefully one day they do listen to Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint & The Black Album. After a decade plus of Drake watering down Hip Hop it would do them some good to hear some of the pinnacle of Pop Rap that maintains the artistic integrity of the genre while being accessible for non Hip Hop listeners.

 

And he writes his own raps. Most quotable rapper ever too, everyone agrees on that :coffee2:

who's talking about the whole world? I'm saying if you're a music fan (likely why you're on this forum), you should 100% know "99 Problems." point blank.

 

also the second half of your statement is absolutely horse ****. we're talking about LimeWire and mixtape era of music. who cares if Greek/Norwegian/Slovak radio didn't play it?

 

for your chart obsessed ass, here's a stat: it's one of the most streamed songs from 2003 on Spotify with 244 million streams.

TELL IT

 

these ******* love to get on here and pretend that black music is so unknown meanwhile their crystal meth smoking fave was running to black producers for hits.

I've never listened to any of his albums. but I do know the saying "99 problems" but not the song, and I've heard his songs about New York with Alicia keys and his song with Beyonce saying she's crazy in love. and that's it.

I can name quite a few of them and I've never heard a full album of his. If you grew up on hip-hop & r&b then you should be able to name at least 5-10 solo singles.

Trying to insult rappers for not having solo hits when these singers dont even write theirs is mental illness

I recommend checking out Magna Carta.

Almost everyone that was old enough during his peak and was/is into pop culture in general know of 99 problems, you don't even have to be a hip hop fan, that singel burst the bubble big time.

This forum.. :dies:

 

Song Cry alone is better than anything the post 90s girls that y'all cream yourselves over have done in their careers. 

Posted

Multiple, yes.

 

One of his most underrated cuts. :WAP:

99 problems? 

 

#ThankYouIceT

I'm not even a hip hop fan but 99 Problems is a classic

It's technically not solo but I need to mention both Tom Ford & Change Clothes.

No. The male Lady Gaga.

People from the US being shocked discovering some of their "icons" are a complete non-factor outside the US. :foxaylove2:
 

On a global scale, he's known for being Beyonce's partner mostly and that's it.

 

The male Janet.
