Jay-z was not an artist I was expecting from you GR! My first introduction into Jay-z and his talent was via Linkin Park. After really listening to the guy I have a lot of respect for the work he puts in, super talented artist.

Kanye, pre... Current Kanye was phenomenal, rap/hip-hop isn't really something I'm overly familiar with but tracks like "black skinhead" "stronger" and the like are lyrically fantastic. The dude was a master at his craft.
It's always funny when someone gets known for being a fan of a particular genre, and then shows to also have an affinity for a genre that some would say is the polar opposite.
Eg I pulled into car park at work the other day and my colleagues know i like the "screamy screamy scary music" as they call it. And what I was actually listening to at that point. "Bring him home" from Les Miserables 🤣.
Good music is good music.

I guess fundamentally, there's a reason why artists like Kanye, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, Biggy etc are as famous as they are or have as many fans of their music as they do. And it's because their music is good. It may not be everyone's favourite thing, but it's top quality. Hell, I like ice cream, my personal favourite, rum and raisin. But if you gimme mint choc I'm not complaining, I'm enjoying the ice cream. Different flavours same thing.
