How come Nas deflects praise when people says hes the best But Jay-z goes out his way to say hes the

[Brandon M.]

best? almost like hes politicing for the position

 

[Mr. Negative]

humility vs marketing savvy

 

[Cuban Pete]

cuz self praise is no praise - the gawd mc

 

[Cloud McFly]

So now Nas has never said he was the best?

 

[Brandon M.]

So now Nas has never said he was the best?

nope he never has

 

[Kid Coli]

Who's the best: Pac, Nas and B.I.G
Ain't no best, East, West, North, South, flossed out...

 

[Chill]

humble

 

[Existential]

Because Nas knows how wack he is and Jay knows how great he is.

 

[BuyandSave]

Because it would be laughable for Nas to claim he's the best. Nobody cares about Nas save for like 5 people on the internet.

 

[Kid Coli]

I don't even fukk with Nas like that but he is clearly the best rapper alive

No one is even close to him. Nas is a 10 and Jay and Em are like an 8 at best.

 

[madness]

jay z had a song called "reminder" where he brought up all of his career accolades and bragged about his resume.nothing that arrogant fukk says or does surprises me.

 

[PIFF101]

Don't talk about it, be about it. Nasir the GOAT

 

[R=G]

Nas won't outright say he's better than BIG or Pac....as for the best alive thing? I don't think you'll be seeing anyone murder Nas on his own records.

 

[Surreal]

He's an introvert. Jay ugly ass is comfortable in his skin..until Ether plays

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Cause people would say Nas was the best,if he never once uttered that he was.....with Jay, he has to tell people he's the best ever...cause his music can't speak for itself.
