[prophecypro]

Are people talking about Nas Masta Ace or Jeru Damaja

I mis read what breh said and thought he meant in his entire catalogie, but even post 03 its just about pulling out dope cuts.

 

[Phillyrider807]

Jay would wash Nas in a hit for hit format.

Most of these aren’t even his songs lol

you shouldnt care in your little bubble, but those casual fans will be the reason nas gets dusted

then there would be a 30 page thread on here right after crying about those same casual fans not giving a fukk about memory lane, i gave you power and other classic nas b sides songs.

mannie fresh (niche) vs scott scorch (mainstream) is actually a perfect example of how this battle would go.

Like I said in another post to @Deacon Frye there are going to be wildly divergent takes on this battle.
And I agree with the Manny/Scott comparison, assuming Nas plays his best songs and Jay plays nothing but mainstream hits.

 

[JustCKing]

He could easily play Cherry Wine and Bye Baby.

Yeah he could, but I doubt he touches those either. Like I said, they are limited to 20 songs. Both Nas and Jay have a deep enough catalog to where they don't even have to go beyond 2003 to put up 20 joints. They are basically going to play songs that are essential to their careers.

I think people are getting the misconception that when me and others say hits we are talking about pop hits which is false. Tbh Jay doesn’t even have that many pop hits and it’s not like the ones he has are corny. During Jays prime he never was even the most popular rapper out. He was never as big as DMX, Ja, Em or Nelly. He might not even been as big as Luda. But him and the Roc ran the streets. In the black clubs you heard more Jay than Nas. In a black neighborhood you heard more cars playing Jay than Nas. If you were at a black party or cookout or block party you heard more Jay than Nas. That shyt means something. Jay has more fans than Nas. All these reasons are why I think he would beat Nas even tho I think Nas is the better rapper but not by much

Yea but let’s be honest. Those Jay features made the songs what they were. I Got The Keys was received the way it was becuz it was Jay and Future on a track together. Nobody woulda cared if it was like TI and Future

It's over after two tracks.

I agree Jay been his bag on guest appearances the last 10 years, his verse on Drug Dealers Anonymous aint even on that list and it’s arguably the best.

 

[iamduval]

Why are you guys playing Nas like he's some dusty, underground backpacker that made songs that only white metalheads who hate rap for the most part like?

Is he not a successful artist that sold millions of records? Do people not know what "N.Y. State of Mind" or "If I Ruled the World" or "Made You Look" is?

Because you are comparing him to Jay-Z

 

[BmoreGorilla]

If Nas played something like Mastermind he doesn’t care about winning. Dope song but not for this

Why don't we just make a Verzuz playlist for them. It depends on if they can produce the right vibe and even playing the right snippet portion of the song. Nas has lots of classic "vibe" tracks that are untouchable. He doesn't really do songs that go off in the club anymore.

Found a Spotify playlist: BATTLE: Nas VS Jay Z, a playlist by Robin Danielsson on Spotify

They had more Jigga tracks for some reason. OP might be right.

 

[mobbinfms]

Not better than What We Do Is Wrong

What We Do isn’t a club record though.
