Some dope features on that list. Music for life is classic :mjcry: Do it for hip hip might be the best jay and Nas track….Hip hop Face bodied Nas but last second Nas with the ‘hollow be thy name don’t let me do this dame like orenthal James’ :whew:


But ultimately, Nas is better than jay at certain things….and jay is better than Nas at certain things. Features is one of those things

You could not list 20 jay features and have that many forgettable songs :dead: :yeshrug:

Half the tracks and verses this dude listed are mid at best. This "classic verse" is a song where consensus was he got washed by Andre. Average track with a terrible hook. But Nas stans the delusional ones

"I D-O, I D-O, I D-O, oh, oh
I, Vito, promise to treat this game, i-de-al
Honor the code, not bring drama to mama’s peephole
Life’s a bytch but she's the only love that I know-ow-ow
So la-a-dy, after the "I Do's" let's do Mercedes
Let's tie the knot, let's grab us a pot, let's make a baby
Looking back, I don't know who threw this bouquet to me
But I walk down this aisle faithfully, cut that cake for me
I, Jay-Z, take this unlawful lady to have and to hold
And until the task force roll
To hug her every corner til I get ash from the cold
Or until I've amassed a fortune, too much cash for me to fold
Fold under pressure I would never, ever, ever (Ever), ever (Ever)
Your secrets I treasure, for better or worser
You'll always be my first love til death do us part
Pull a hearse up, my verse up"

You get it? Song is about marriage and Hov is married to the game :gladbron:

Yeah I'd love to hear Malice's deep, thought provoking tales about his days of hustling drugs vs I used to sell coke, the cola, hova with the baking soda :blessed::blessed::blessed:

It's no mystery that idiot doesn't write his rhymes, the shyt writes itself and you lemmings eat it up.

Facts. He been dropping variations of the same "$500,000 or lunch with Jay Z" verse for 15 years and his stans eat it up every time :mjlol:

"Hov used to work the stove
Mix the cola with the soda
Now I'm pushing soda, deals with Coca-Cola
Been to more Super Bowls than Brady
Roc Nation is an army, better yet a navy"

You don't want to have quality debates about lyricism in this good faith thread no more?

You called this verse a classic so school us on it

"Cake, cake-cake, cake-cake, cake
Five hundred million, I got a pound cake
nikkas is frontin, that's upside-down cake
Get em a red nose, they clown cakes
They shoulda never let you round cake
Look at my neck, I got a karat cake, uh
Now here's the icin on the cake
Cake, cake-cake, cake-cake, uh
I'm just gettin' started, oh yeah, we got"

Nah. This is where we have to start being objective and honest on here, lol.

These are our guys and they're both GOAT's, but Jay's definitely better than Nas at A LOT of sh*t. I don’t even like that people can't stop comparing them just because they were beefing in 2001-02, but the only thing I think Nas is better than Jay at, is storytelling.

:russell:

Jay got enough classic guest spots you could just list the good ones and stand on that. Instead you listed a bunch of mid, now you switching the topic because you don't want to defend your picks. Shameless.

which ones were mid?

I already quoted two of em, can you tell which songs those bars from without googling?

You gonna say this shyt was inspired and classic? He ain't saying shyt and has spit this same verse a hundred times. Break down the dopest bars and why we supposed to be impressed.

"Something foreign I’m tourin on foreign land
Worldwide I'm known for the Arm & Ham-
-mer, per the streets, I'm a wanted man
(But the flow's like dope) So it's on again
Started with the block, hit it brick by brick
Then I charted with the Roc, nikka, hit by hit
I'm retarded with the Glock, nikka, clip by clip
The competition is none, they deceased to exist
Let it breathe a little bit
He's off his rocker, he's a little schitz
Throwed like a football, Hov used to cook raw
Now I got the game sewn like granny's good shawl
Sure, y'all nikkas want war
Y'all got it backwards, y'all should want raw
Y'all should want more"
