Around the same time, the scandalous rivalry between the rapper and his colleague Nas began - for the whole year both of them devoted angry and witty rap odes to each other, which greatly contributed to the popularity of both Jay-Z and Nas.
By that moment, it was clear that the two artists had a romance. In , after the release of The Black Album, the performer announced his departure from rapping. The same year he had a farewell tour with rapper R. Kelly, which finished in pretty sum lawsuits to each other from both. In , the retired artist became the Def Jam Records president. The company endured a crisis by that moment, but Jay-Z managed the situation.
Parts of the persona that Jay-Z would ride to superstardom are already in place: He's cocky bordering on arrogant, but playful and witty, and exudes an effortless, unaffected cool throughout. And even if he's rapping about rising to the top instead of being there, his material obsessions are already apparent. Jay-Z the hustler isn't too different from Jay-Z the rapper: Hustling is about living the high life and getting everything you can, not violence or tortured glamour or cheap thrills.
Perhaps that's why Jay-Z waxes reflective, not enthusiastic, about the darker side of the streets; songs like 'D'Evils' and 'Regrets' are some of the most personal and philosophical he's ever recorded. Jay-Z later explained that he thought he could do a better job of marketing his records on his own:. They had me traveling places to do instores, and my product wasn't even available in the store.
We shot one video, but when the time came for me to do the video for the second single, I had to be cut out. They gave me the money and I started my own company. There was a little arguing back and forth, but our conflict finally got resolved.
The bottom line was they wasn't doing their job, so I had to get out of there. Jay-Z rented a small, cheap office for Roc-A-Fella Records on John Street in one of the 'dreariest parts of the busiest city in the world'.
At this point, he was still considered an 'underground' [5] rapper with a 'new jack' style. Reasonable Doubt has Mafioso rap themes.
