Jay-Z is not ignorant, he's by far the richest rapper, likely .one of the richest performers in the music industry, he makes smart investments, he has many businesses that he runs. His music may not be super-smart, but the guy's got a good head on his shoulders.

Plus, I think it's pretty amazing that he never, ever writes any of his words down.
That's what I was trying to say.
He's more respected.
