So glad that so many people hate Jay-Z. I don't care if he has talent as a poet or whatever, his delivery is just so monotonous that I can't generate even the slightest amount of excitement over just about anything he does. It's like whatever effort he puts into his music, he completely ignores the concept of energy or emotion. It's like the rap version of listening to a boring professor drone on about who-the-the-****-cares-what.

This. I will never claim to have any grasp of flow complexity beyond a basic knowledge that Eminem can flow and the Insane Clown Posse can not, but the man has presence and personality that would make up for any theoretical deficiencies he might have, while producing songs that are diverse and engaging.
