Nah jay don't love him like he loves jay ....i think for Jay Kanye is more like a good business partner. The fact that the nigga didn't even show to His wedding say alot. And that Kanye Netflix shows that jay didn't even fuck with him at the beginning. Sad for Kanye he should let it go

[@gtvn2775]

@@ddeteck1134 Jay loves kanye, even beyonce as well. Originally Jay Z did see him as a great business parter but grew to love him even more. Especially with the way Rockafella protected kanye. Just like how beanie came to kanye rescue when he was being eyed down by thugs at a diner. Kanye really appreciated everyone in rockafella great. Jay didn’t come to his wedding because they didn’t like kim. Now it shows even more with the family trouble kanye is having with kim and her mother.

[@NickDopeMan]

God forbid but when Kanye ain't here no more, this jam will hit Hov on a whole different level and it won't be pretty. I feel like he should do a song specifically about Kanye, some kind of response to "Big Brother" where he explains and talks about what he feel about Kanye. Talking about Ye in interviews ain't enough (to me). I loved how Nas wasted no time when J. Cole dropped "Let Nas Down", he got into the studio immediately and let Cole and the world know that Cole "ain't let Nas down"! That's how it should be... So Hov if you're reading this, get Kanye them flowers when he can still smell em!

I know Jay is respected and all that, but he’s not the level of vulnerability of Kanye. Because we all can see and share Kanye’s complete deconstruction in his music…. because he has that creative ability to express it in his music perfectly. This is why he’s a better artist and musician overall. But in the end I have nothing but love for both, maybe a little more for Kanye

[@dfjr1990]

Dude I said the same thing back when it dropped. I said he really was almost on a surpassing Jay-Z level at the time but he put Jay-Z in the light when he made this song. And honestly ever since this song Jay-Z started his true domination over the hip-hop world in everyone's eyes, in my opinion. Especially with Watch the Throne

@@dfjr1990 nigga shut tf up sales don’t mean shit 50 cent sold more records between 03 - 08 does that make him better? Jay never needed Kanye but Kanye needed Jay stop tryna change history, Jays music is bigger than just rap, he made people wear yankee jerseys, he made people change their cars, he made people wear buttons ups in 2003 Jay has always been bigger because Kanye crossed over to pop doesn’t make him bigger Jay runs the streets and the street runs hip hop of it was all by sales then Em would be the goat and the most influential! But that’s never been the case Jay is influential because he was seen as a God in the streets! Jay was rapping about drugs which only street dudes could relate too but Kanye was rapping about life which everyone can relate too! Jay Z became big by rapping about what he lived Kanye just raps about what everyone lived! You talked about vulnerability Song cry was more vulnerable than any song kanye ever made, listen to you must love me, lucky me or Glory! He has done it all! He raps about the street which don’t allow him to be too vulnerable yet he has shown that he could if he wants! The little street cred kanye has was when Jay brought him out at his concert at Chicago and he got the Roc chain!
