Nas black Republican feat jay... So who had the better verse ?

[Malcolmxxx_23]

When Nas came on :ohhlawd:

I'm back in the hood, they like, "Hey Nas"





Blowin' on purp, reflecting on they lives
Couple of fat cats, couple of A.I.'s


Nas got him straight up

 

[shakobe]

Nas got washed

[ThirdAct]

Both came nice, but Nas had the better flow IMO. Plus this whole part is lyricism at its finest:

I'm standing on the roof of my building
I'm feelin' the whirlwind of beef, I inhale it
Just like an acrobat ready to hurl myself
Through the hoops of fire
Sippin' 80 proof, bulletproof under my attire
Could it be the forces of darkness against hood angels of good that forms street politics?
Makes a sweet honest kid, turn illegal for commerce
To get his feet out of them Converse – that's my word

Straight fire.

nas had the better flow
jay had the more intricate rhyme structure

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Jay overall had more presence on that track...Needed more verses IMO

 

[Cladyclad]

“The team got beef between the post and the point/that puts the ring at jeopardy “

Shaq & Kobe = Dame & Hov

i liked nas verse better

personally about 8 bars into jay verse, i didnt know what the hell he was talking about anymore. it felt all over the place, like he was trying to tell a story while throwing some subliminal clues to him and nas upbringing , and by the end of the verse it felt like shots being thrown to dame and what happened at roc a fella,

nas verse was more concise and clean. plus i dont like the sentiment of "black repubican" and nas screaming "black militant taking over the government" was for me

 

[terrellblash]

They have good chemistry together.

nas had the better flow
jay had the more intricate rhyme structure

nas had more of a complex rhyme scheme then jay-z
nas verse was one big internal multisyllabic rhyme scheme imo

Nas got this imo, this verse gave me chills, almost made it seem like Nas is the hood Batman, lol!

I think Jay is the goat and he came correct on this, it’s a great track, but Nas shades it for me on this
