all of them I'd def say are "better" at rapping than Jay is. Might not have the catalog or critical acclaim but could probably son Jigga on a track.
Plus your from corny ass Boston whose only relevant contribution to hip-hop beyond Guru (who moved to/became a NYC head) is Edo G and your sports teams suck

just because he is popular motherfukkers will hate on him. no one in NYC is coming close to him and his catalog
Pac and Jay-z can be talked about in the same sentence IMO Pac might have the edge though if i wanna be talking all time greats here if i wanna go that far
lil wayne is in this discussion too...listen to him when he was a teen spitting on songs like Clear Tha Set all the way till now with Steady mobbin and everything in between his collection is as good as anyones
BUT this thread is about Jay-z and NYC so i dunno why i even went there i felt like it though

jay-z is a one syllable rhymer so how is he the goat.
You know what the saddest part is? There are so many young guns that would eat Jay alive on the mic but they will never get any recognition.
Black smoke and cac jokes
Your daps are mine
thats a good thing though. look at the hungry good MCs that are making it like Problem. if you are good you will get reconized. too many cats from the smack era thought they were nice but couldnt make a song to save their life
im glad that era is over. its 2013 the no bullshyt era. of course it was better back in the early 2000 but lets take what we can get
