Nas vs Jay-Z Verzuz

[Ziggiy]

Absolutely, one was a #1 hit, is way bigger than the other, catchier than the other, a better chorus than the other, and more crowd participation than the other.

NY State Of Mind never hit number 1 but your right about the rest

 

[BaRRyG]

Nas wins
12-8

Weak choices for Jay

Made you look better than where I'm from?

99 problems over life's a bytch

The only place and time where Nas would beat Jay in a Verzuz is in the coli comment section

I've seen Nas win in mad Facebook comment sections too

These nikkas be buggin lol

But I knew someone was gonna say something the classic hardcore record vs. the “corny” pop record

Honestly the only way Nas would win that round is if he goes second, plays up the grittiness and attacks the pop-iness of Jay’s record and plays a blend version of Alicia Keys singing Streets of New York over it that would be hard

 

[Mastamimd]

But to answer the question I refuse, because folk in here will not be objective at all because biases

I'm glad its never happening too

 

[Champion]

It happened back in 01. You must have missed it.

There are a lot of rappers that had beef and participated in Versuz. Its a pandemic and ppl want to see live performances of those classics..

 

[ISO]

Nas needs Ether in a Verzuz against Jay not only would it do damage as a diss track but it’s also one of his biggest, most recognizable records which says a lot

 

[ThirdAct]

Nas flatout has more classic songs.

Anyway 2 GOAT contenders, its foolish to think it won't be competitive
I know who I would be rooting for doe

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Those bottom four rounds

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Nas ain’t had hit since 2002. The shyt is almost old enough to drink. Mods need to ban this topic. Jay would win just off 2006 and beyond. Stop this shyt Nas on jay z level lol

stop it

Kinda sad ass post is this lmao

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Where should the Verzuz take place tho? Obviously NYC but should it be in Barclays Stadium (Brooklyn) or Met’s Stadium (Queens)?

Or more neutral ground such as MSG (Manhattan) or The Apollo (Harlem) or either Yankee’s Stadium or as a huge block party in the middle of Sedgewick Ave in The Bronx for symbolic purposes?

It’s the fukking truth playboy. And I’m being generous saying 2002. It’s really a case he never had one tbh

[Awesome Wells]

Nas don’t have enough hits to do a Verzuz with Jay he barely has 20 records

This is the Coli though

Basically.

If you ask dudes on here, they're going to say Nas, lol. But we all know, offline, there is no way that Nas could beat Hov in a Verzuz battle. They're both greats and in my Top 10, but Nas doesn't have the records to go up against Jay. He's just not that type of artist. That's not what he does.
