Bob Dylan's the Jay-Z of his time, says rapper grandsonFolk rock legend Bob Dylan’s 15-year-old grandson is getting into the music business for himself on the hip-hop side, according to AllHipHop.com. Pablo Dylan (son of Jesse Dylan) shows off his skills as a rapper and producer on his new collection, “10 Minutes.” And while their sounds aren’t exactly similar, the youngster can relate to his granddad. "I consider him the Jay-Z of his time,” the teen says. “Of course, we do two different things and I don't want people to see me for what he has done. But what I have done is definitely influenced by him."
Pablo isn’t the only famous kid on a quest for rap stardom. “Rich Hil,” son of fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger, recently signed a record deal with Warner Bros, reports XXL magazine. The 21-year-old will reportedly release an EP titled “Support Your Local Drug Dealer” this fall. “My dad couldn’t be more proud,” Rich Hil tells XXL. And then there’s “Chet Haze” (a.k.a. Chester Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson), a Northwestern student and budding rapper known best for his university-inspired take on Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow.” Chet, who made his live debut this summer, has told the Chicago Tribune that his upbringing is not "the typical (background) for a hip-hop artist." But, he goes on, "it's 2011. The nature of hip-hop has changed so much the last few years. Nowadays artists come from all walks of life. Everyone has their own story to tell.”

Jay-Z could never compare to Bob Dylan if he tried his entire life. I wonder if Pablo realizes he just publicly insulted his grandfather
I am not agreeing that the comment made by Pablo has any validity at all, but assuming it did, it is backwards anyway, since in its current phrase, it is like an homage to Jay-Z. If it were true, it should have read, "Jay-Z is the Bob Dylan of his time."
Not sure anyone will ever touch Dylan, though, so even my reparation to the phrasing does not really fix the problem.
There is NO comparison. Dylan is a poet. JZ is a hack.
Only a young boy can compare the great Bob Dylan with Jay Z... The difference is huge, Bob Dylan was a revolutionary compose, r/singer, he talked to people's soul... Jay Z is a businessman, who can make simple rappers become stars, and even can make Beyonce look better by the support of a lot of stuff (choir, backup singers, good musicians, ecc) Unbelievable comparison!
my doodoo is way smelly. i musta eaten something gross.
@Boocat everyone has a story be it growing up in the Bronx or in SoHo,the south side of Chicago or Lake Shore Drive.Everybody has a "hood" and has a right to tell their story from the crack house,penthouse,boathouse or outhouse (although I think the government banned those),anyway you get what i'm saying only in America.
It's apparent this kid needs to take a MAJOR COURSE on what his grandfather Bob Dylan really is to the music business and the rest of the world. Bob Dylan deserves much more accolades than a lame comparison to some hip hop star who's a plagiarist.
What waste of sperm!
