in 2021 Nas is a far superior emcee to Jay-Z

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

hell no

 

[Cloud McFly]

Judging by their most recent performances (AWT & KD), Jay-Z is definitely spitting at a higher level.

 

[TheNig]

I have to go back and listen to King's Disease. I had it playing in the background on first listen so I wasn't really paying attention. I thought HitBoy did a good job but I'd be lying if I told you I remember anything lyrically.

 

[Paper Boi]

Nas is more One Mic than Oochie Wally these days.

Jay still has it when he tries, the problem is he more Magna Carta Holy Grail than In My Lifetime these days.

 

[ShaDynasty]

They haven't released anything yet in 2021.

 

[Bolzmark]

Far superior? No. I hate to kill one of the most popular debates in hip hop, but both of these brothers are elite, and whichever one you think is best, its based on your personal opinion. This is one debate where there is no wrong answer. Jay blacked out on Jay Elecs joint. There is an argument there that in some ways he's gotten better, because he has expanded his content from money and drug dealin.

 

[Bolzmark]

Far superior is right.

it’s embarrassing at this point

No shyt
that's how it's always been

The first verse of Blue Benz is fire
Jay hasn't had a hot verse since the G-Mix of I Wanna Rock with Snoop

The Nas v. Jay-Z debate is #1 for making nyqqas say the most ridiculous shyt ever to try and prove they're right

 

[prophecypro]

I think it will always go back and forth but Nas came back in 2020 not just with KD but his features (Flying Stars High, Keep it moving) where its close again

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Both NaS and Jay still rapping at elite levels is

Spoiler

NaS is still better

 

[Mindfield333]

I don’t get the love for King’s Disease....

Was excited for some new Nas but that album was a disappointment to me..

same. And I copped stillmatic with my own money in HS. Lost tapes is his last great project to me

 

[jelanitsunami]

This site is overwhelmingly filled with Nas stans versus any other artist so more people here are gonna say him but i don't think either one of them has ever been that much better of a rapper than the other honestly

 

[bordeaux]

i dunno about far superior but to me he was the better of the two. i strongly disagree w/ the rest. nas rapping on king's disease on the level of stillmatic? did we hear the same album?

 

[ISO]

That’s a joke Jay rapped much better last year the production on King’s Disease stood out more.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Nah. Nas may be .ore lyrical but he lacks the charisma of Jay. Id take 4:44 over anything nas has out out recently.

They're both different so people will always come down on a either side of the argument both are great

But if the comparison was NaS vs Black Thought

It's not as easy to talk all this " technical skill blah blah" that people try to use to boost NaS

We well know that songs have many elements that can make a great song

Black Thought is a better emcee in 2021 based on rhyme skills in my opinion but.. I like more of NaS songs

In the same way I might enjoy some of Hov songs more even though he may not be the better emcee at this point
