THIS! You Wanna know why Jay-Z is better than Elvis musically? For one simple reason. He transcends his genre of music. He can work with anyone or any type of music without compromising his skills or his values. Linkin Park, Radiohead, Paul friggin McCartney, MJ. You can't insult the man like that you may not like him but you will respect him!


A lot of artists do that.



@ Kasz: Sure, I just put some I had in my I pod, Im sure there are a lot more.

I have respect for eminem has a hip hop artist, great respect, his lyrics have meaning (SOME SONGS), but ive yet to see a hip hop artist be as influential as tupac to appear yet.

It seems when it comes to hip hop you and I agree on most things.

 @Leo-J-> Tupac was a different entity in itself. While he wasn't the best lyricist, his passion and emotion with heart-felt lyrics are what made him so great and so influential. I want someone to tell me that they don't consider Rap as music because it doesn't lack depth, complex lyrics, or emotions and I'll just point them to a Pre-Death Tupac Album

I took this from the link in the OP:
"So what is wrong with you, Kelowna? What is stopping you from buying your tickets to Jay-Z’s show? Here we have the best charting solo act in musical history at the top of his game and the concert is not yet sold out. Our city will spend $300 on Rod Stewart, who hasn’t been a big name in over twenty years and couldn’t care less about being here, but they won’t shell out a hundred bucks to see the guy with the #1 album right now and who wants to play here?"

This makes me think the one who wrote this an idiot, Rod Stewart is a much better artist, Im glad not everyone in the world is as stupid as the woman or man.
