A lot of talk about JayZ in revered tones, it's like he has an aura that his fans are drawn to and they consider him a deity. As a human being he sold ? to poison his community, shot his blood brother over jewelry and possibly sold ? to his own mother

However he seems to be respected and worshipped by many fans.



A lot of people talk about Plies in a disrespectful manner, it's like he has a stigma attached to him that his detractors despise. As a human being he graduated high school and went to college to become a medical assistant, a job to help the sick and ailing people in his community.

However he seems to be disrespected and ridiculed by many fans.




Who do you respect more criminals or civilians and is genocide a prerequisite for your respect?

    I always ridiculed Plies because he is college educated and but rather come off as ignorant, and it doesn't help that his music sucks. I don't consider Hov a deity, nor do i respect Plies as a Hip-Hop artist.

    I actually think Plies articulates himself well in his interviews.

    Do you respect drug dealers over medical professionals?

    Well that's just the vibe i get from his music, i never felt compelled to watch any of his interviews.

    Of course not, medical professionals help those in need while drug dealers usually just help themselves.

    plies went to college to become a medical assistant? i never knew that
    so since he's so intelligent, why does he claim to be a goon and make ignorant ass music?
    thats probably why he gets disrespected by fans

    I respect both of them. Plies music is wack, but he is always giving back. It's atleast 5 videos of him paying for a fan's college tuition

    The other dealt with street life and now works in the corporate world

    I think the type of music he makes caters to people who live that lifestyle or been around others who lived that lifestyle or they relate to his music on a sonic level.

    I'm not sure if advanced education would disqualify him from Goonery considering Suge Knight went to College and his Goon hand is legendary.

    I'd have to be physically forced to listen to a plies album, on some clockwork orange ? with my ears taped open. Jigga on the other hand is one of the nicest rappers ever.

    I don't care about their backgrounds particularly but wasn't it Plies who's entourage opened fire on an audience and hit a bunch of innocent black bystanders?

    Theres alot that i dont like about Jay because i question his Loyalty and feel that he's a selfish dude. I will admit that i respect that he came from the same place that i came from and he made it out and went on to become one of the biggest stars in Entertainment.

    Plies i respect because of the Lyrics in his music and by alot of the acts he performs as a well known artist. He does things like pay for strangers College tuition, gave away his jewelry at one of his shows and have set up funds for people to go visit their families that are incarcerated. He doesnt have 1/4 of the money Jay has yet it seems he genuinely care and has seemed to try and help more people then him.

    Plies catches a bad rap because of the way he talks, and dress so he's perceived as an ignorant Thug.

    I've lived a street life so i could never talk down about another man thats also lived it but living a street life is not what i respect. Being real to yourself and not tryna be something that your not is what i respect. When in a position to help someone taking that initiative to reach back and help others, gains my whole-hearted respect.

    I guess if it's in the family it's legit, blood is the best co-sign.

    Ya'll do know college boys is just as buck and ignorant as your local neighborhood drug dealer, you ? obviously never been to an HBCU for any amount of time or purpose, you might as well be at a ? club, and before somebody come through and say "college boy post", yes I am a college boy, I barely graduated high school, but I be damned if I don't finish college, I bet no ? aint gon ? wit me doe. If ? come up in the hood you have a hood mentality regardless of how smart you are or how much you apply your self to what you are trying to accomplish, I'm from the hood it ain't no Boyz n the hood, menace 2 society, ? gettin shot everyday type ? , but it's a predominately black neighborhood full of poverty, drugs, alcohol, violence, and broken homes, I ain't gotta flex for nobody, ? can't even see my face, and I'm sure Plies come from the hood too, you can hear it in his voice, you can only pretend for so long.
    Hood does not equal dumb.

    jay-z makes great music but i've never really liked him as a person.

    plies makes bad music and the fact that he has been to college and is a "medical professional" makes it worse because that means he is faking his persona, making it cool to be stupid.

    but i respect plies more because of the simple fact that jay-z wore sandals with jeans

    Respect Hov as a rapper/entertainer, he may be a real ? person, but i'm not looking for dude to be my best friend or do ? for me but make good music....respect Plies as a person...But why does Plies portray the "sterotypical black male" in his music?? High School grad, College educated, yet he wants people to believe that he's a goon, a thug, etc....I don't get it.

    When you talk about "stereotypical black male" are you referring to JayZ selling Heroin on American Gangsta or the misogynistic JayZ on Big Pimpin?

    ...are you talking about the JayZ that rapped about having intercourse with one of his rivals ex-girlfriend and leaving a condom on his rivals daughters baby-seat (no ? ).
