Bstone, you can't compare these guys to Jay Z or any modern rapper. Styles change and develop through time. It's almost like comparing Jerry West to Kobe Bryant. Through time people try different things and a new style develops. When Jay started he had that quick flow like the that was popular during the time. I was real young, but I can still remember the first time I heard Jada spit and he had the lazy flow and I thought it was horrible. Fast forward and look how many rappers have that slow lazy flow that people love.
