Jay-Z’s Uncle Told Him He’d Never Be Better Than LL Cool J When He First Started Rapping — ‘He Said Get the F*ck Out of Here’

Jay-Z has long been considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. However, when he first started his rap career, Jay-Z had few believers. He came up during a time when the genre was very competitive, and other New York-based artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, Nas, and Busta Rhymes were getting most of the spotlight. As history would show it, Jay-Z ended up having arguably the most successful career out of the artists from his era. Today, he claims he always had a belief in himself that he would become great, despite the fact that his own family members didn’t believe in him.
