She was actually way bigger than him on the rap radar at that time. Funny how things change. Find out who young hov “studied” to get his performance game up when you

JAY-Z LEARNED TO ENTERTAIN FROM BONO
Hip-hop mogul JAY-Z mastered the art of performing live by watching Irish rocker BONO on stage.
The rapper admits he was a “horrible performer” before shooting to rap superstardom, and credits the U2 for helping him perfect his act.
The Run This Town hitmaker has studied hours of footage of Bono in concert to pick up tips and improve his own stage shows.
He explains, “These days, I’m the s**t, but I used to be a horrible performer. I was terrible. I’m not really an animated guy so I had to figure out a way how to convey my message and talk to people in compact movements, all the while, being entertaining.
“There is a very thin line between not moving and being boring. (Bono) knows how to exaggerate his movements and he knows how to have that conversation, without moving around much. He’s a dynamic performer.”

I watched him on stage, and to be honest, I saw nothing to him , his style, the way he rap , i just didnt see a damn thing to this dude, only his money speaks for him, he suck to me, and before anyone come at me limping from being wounded by my words of him, just back up, because that is my opinion of him , we all have our opinions, some like him and some dont, and i dont like him! he stiff as hell on stage, his voice suck, to me he rap slow, i dont know , i am not a fan.
