Im Just A CASUAL Jay-Z Listener and Even I Gotta Admit He's the Best Rapper Ever

[Inspect Her Deck]

Jay is 4th OAT for me but I wouldn't be mad if someone said he's GOAT.

OP spitting truth.

I'd say someone in that realm of versatile talent is Redman, but I don't think he's covered as large a spectrum of songs as Jay has.

oh and Cube is the GOAT btw...let's not get confused now.

No range...

 

[Mike Otherz]

How the hell can the opinion of a casual listener,mean anything in comparison to a actual fan of anybody?

Meaning if a Soulja Boy fan disputed this thread and said "No,Soulja is better",his opinion would mean more than yours,you cant truly testify to Jays greatness if you cnt speak on how great his SONG making ability is....how about u do your research then come back and say this?dudes who make these threads do real Jay fans a disservice,because you give ammo to people who say the media is brainwashing people on his behalf

As a jay stan,a stringnof wack uninspired duds forced me to push him out of my top 3,and into that 4th spot

judge nikkaz by their best work?
PS who ya top 3?

 

[SunZoo]

He'll never eclipse Pac to me.

I have Jay and Nas at 4a and 4b with Jay having the edge due to exactly what OP is stating. I've always felt like he was more versatile.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Nah you got Nas who's easily better. KRS One an all time legend. 2pac (maybe?) Ghostface. But Jay is up there

His last few albums have been such garbage too, like average of D-.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Wish more people realized this. How y'all older dudes don't see this

Cause after you hear GOD in the form of RAKIM talk

Everyone else is just mere mortals

 

[B-Mint94]

You don't say

 

[HustlerOfVirginiA]

You right

 

[Dolo]

Yeah he's not my favorite (anymore), but if i had to pick one rapper to call the GOAT, it would be Hov

 

[Metal Face]

Hova is goat material.
Probably the best ear for production for any rapper ever.

 

[Ill-Mind]

 

[Juggalo Fred]

violent j > jay z

 

[Still Benefited]

judge nikkaz by their best work?
PS who ya top 3?

Thats okay until you start pulling goat talk out the woodwork

1.Pac
2.Cube
3.E-40

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

He's 1 of the goats simply for his diversity.
