Jay-Z has done songs with Too Short. The reason Jay-Z was more successful than your average new york rapper is he stretched his game further, doing tracks with Short, Scarface, Snoop, Juvenile, UGK, at a time when nobody did that.
To say he bites 95% of lyrics is plain wrong and incorrect. He is one of the most naturally gifted rappers alive, he can flow to any beat you give him, wether its a traditional Premier beat, Kanye Beat, Timbaland, Hi Tek, Neptunes he can ride any track with ease. The man is also a 1st class hustler, making millions from rappin, thats every rappers dream, underground or not.
Plus he banging Beyonce every night
If thats wack then i hope im wack as fuck
