I'm sorry but Jay Z will lose in a versuz againt Nas

[OG Talk]

What radio hits do Erykah Badu/Jill Scott have? they did 1M streams.

And Erykah won because she had more radio hits.

 

[mobbinfms]

No he won’t

And Nas is my favorite rapper.

But Jay would win...For the same reasons Jay would lose to Wayne or Drake...

It’s all about who has the most radio hits. In particular the most songs that made you want to dance. Or the song that was playing that night in the club when you bagged the baddest bytch.

But Nelly proved that wasn’t the case.

Jay’s hits have aged poorly

Nas has 7 songs on Illmatic that Hov is not touching

This. Practically none of Jay's so-called hit singles have any lasting power. Vol 3 (outside Big Pimpin), Dynasty, Kingdom Come, AG, BP3, MCHG, nobody really gives a shyt about any of those singles. Lot of joints that aged like dog shyt. Matta fact most of his non-commercial deep cuts have more lasting power.

The burden Nas would have to get over is mainstream audiences not caring about his underrated latter era career. I'd say he would have to run through the well known 94-02 stuff and then slip in Thiefs Theme, Just a Moment, Cant Forget About You, Queens Get the Money, As We Enter/Patience and then a couple from Life Is Good in between.

But Nelly proved that wasn’t the case.

I thought Nelly had bigger hits but Luda had a deeper catalogue of hits.

I still don’t understand how these versuz battles work.

There is no host or judges who determine the winner. Each social media platform will discuss their winner. Fans of all age groups, genders, race will discuss who they think won.

The coli will dissect the battle and have their own winner. So we won’t give a fukk if the song was a radio hit or not.

So hypothetically Nas could play I gave you power vs big pimpin and the women would choose jay and the commercial crowd would choose jay but the hiphop heads know i gave you power is way better

Fukk all that “it has to be radio hits” bullshyt. I don’t care about charted songs. Give me HipHop. Leave the radio hits for rappers like nelly and luda

Lol

why is it that when Jay go up hypothetically against his peers Hov got to be handicapped. Dudes like “well u got to limit the era if it’s a X vs Jay battle” lol. Now it’s this lol. How u gone ignore Jay entire catalog just because Nas couldn’t make a hit?

please believe Nas tried on every album except Illmatic

 

[ManBearPig]

We're not talking about the beef really, this is a versuz convo.

Please go ahead use all of Jay's mainstream singles. Use Blue Magic and Show Me What You Got and Change Clothes and Go and I Know and Change the Game and Girlz Best Friends and Guilty Until Proven Innocent ft R. Kelly ( ) and Family Feud () and Magna Carta Whisper Flow ft Justin Timberlake (). USE ALL THEM shytS.

Oh you mean hits like
If i ruled the world
Street dreams
Hate me now
One mic
Made you look
Hot boyz
Did you ever think
Make it last forever

I’m not handicapping Jay, he can play whatever song he wants.

And if this battle was to ever happen, I’m willing to bet Jay would rather play a single like where I’m from rather than hey papi or is that yo bytch.

Both in my top 3, and neither are number 3. No one is washing no one

Them records can be left out of Jay 50

 

[JMurder]

I feel like some of y'all don't respect how deep and extensive Jay's catalog actually is. I'm not saying he would win, I just think it all depends on the song choices and who goes first
