It's what separates him from everyone else in that category.
At what point in his career did Jay-Z start being mentioned as one of the GREATs?

This. The buzz he had before vol. 2 dropped was incredible. Dude was lightin up the radio wit street joints. Ppl overlook vol. 2, but if you put it in its proper context as far as time is concerned, that album was incredible

This topic should be of interest to you: http://niketalk.com/topic/273825
By the way, did you just call Jay a trend FOLLOWER??? Aye.
And for starters, I've NEVER been impressed Lupe's verse on Touch the Sky. But then again, "weak" is subjective here.

If you say so.
But it strays from the topic. The point is that Jay isn't overrated lyrically - rank him as you please, but objectively speaking (and backed even by those who don't listen to rap but know the English language and its literary devices) Jay is up there. Plus he has been doing it catering to as many audiences as possible; to those who enjoy "complex" lyrics and those who just want to party at the club. Keep this in mind.

The word overrated is horrible. If someone is pretty much a top 10 mark. Than someone saying he's number 1 isn't unreasonable
