One has to go: Jay Z, Nas, Scarface

[CrimsonTider]

I'm going to assume that you're not out and about all the time. @Illeye buckmatic is my age so he should know better. Only on the internet is obviously true because there's opinions that are on the internet that reflect the streets and opinions that don't. Use your common sense. All the people hated on the internet win in real life. How is that possible? It's because there are pockets of the internet like "Twitter trends" that reflect real life and then just hating ass people who take up pockets of the internet. You guys neg @CrimsonTider all the time but I stick up for him because he's much closer to the typical rap fan than any on you. The idea that Scarface would come close to beating Jay Z in any real life poll is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in my life as a fan of Face. There's a reason why every interview features people asking Face if he gets the credit he deserves.

You guys literally say the most shyt on a daily basis and don't realize how crazy it sounds to anyone who is not an extreme online introvert. All people don't use the internet the same way.

My best example of this is how Jay z, Wayne and Drake have the record for most songs charted and they are undoubtedly the most hated rappers on this rap forum

I know I'm dealing with a lot introverted people on this site but it seems these guys literally don't communicate with anyone in real life

No one thinks about Scarface outside of his work with Geto Boys on some kind of legendary status

I use to have a theory that all the Hiphop heads use to throw Scarface in the convo to seem like they weren't 100% bias for the Eastcoast( its still some truth to it)

I can actually with agree with alot of this Outside the coli face would clearly be gone. I personally picked jay to leave cause obviously NaS is my goat but face is one of the 1st artists whose work I studied. Maybe since this s a unique hip hop board others might feel the same way But I say all the time face is one of the most underrated MCs which means he would be the underdog anywhere else. At the end of the day all three are goats to me.

The streets, online and the average rap fan are different, though they may crossover into eachother. The streets it's a toss up, depends where you at, with the average rap fan Face is going, online depends where you at too but probably Face would nowadays. Amoung hardcore Hip Hop heads Jay might go. There isn't really a wrong answer, I picked Jay to go because Nas dropped too much great work and kept Hip Hop authentic in the mainstream for a while and Face represents something, his music is personal, emotional, street, hard, gutter shyt. Jay is a little more flossy at times so Jay is the easiest I think to get rid of and not lose something vital, don't get me wrong though ideally Jay wouldn't go anywhere, he made a great contribution and is 1 of the GOAT's but Nas just did too much music wise to go, and Face you take into account Geto Boys and all his solo shyt that really stands for something, both Nas and Face have aged better and been more authentic artistically over the long haul than Jay too. Neither deserves to go, and not mad at any choice but personally I can't get rid of Face and Nas, Jay is even very reluctantly.

I mean Scarface stayed more consistent over the years than both of them, but then again both Jigga and Escobar works outweight his most of the time. Scarface doesn't have an album as good as RD or Illmatic.

Now I'll wait for someone to say The Fix is as good

 

[feelosofer]

I'm an east coast breh and Jay-Z is an amazing rapper but I might have to put the (proverbial) bullet in Jigga. Hip-Hop would survive without Jay, I don't think it would be the same without Nas, or Scarface for that matter.

I swear I feel so all alone, back down on my knees again
Hoping you can keep me strong, cause I can't hardly sleep tonight
I took too many sleeping pills, I drunk too many Miller Lites
And I can feel the Reaper near, so please forgive me for my sins
I am just another man, sorry for the pain that I've caused
I know you'll understand, but these demons are driving me insane
I've been going mad, probably oughta blow out my brains
Cause I'm hurting bad but I'm fighting... blast, on the other day
These problems got me using more drugs, along with the other things
I'm slowly fading into my thoughts, (come against me, bring it on!)
And I'm drifting in and out of space, and I don't believe I'm waking up
With the alcohol, demerol, drifting into another world
With the sunshine shinin, and I think I'm finna url
Momma, can ya look at me? This ain't what I used to be
Tomorrow, I'll be somebody else, cause I ain't been me
And I can't seem to shake these things, I'll put that there on every thing
The more I try to figure me out, is like the more I've changed
But my childhood was fukked up - raised rowdy by a single moms
She told me my daddy didn't give a fukk, she ain't let him do his job
Separate the family, and I don't know my next of kin
These days in these fukked up ways, who the fukk are them?
My daddy had three other kids, but I ain't never seen him so
Ain't no sense in coming around now, you ain't been here before
It's sad but I ain't feelin him, my whole life's been a fukkin maze
And when I tried to locate my siblings, they were gone away
Lost inside they other things, fukked me then, fukked me now
Quick to tell me "Show you some love" nikka show you how?
Ain't no love I'm feelin here, I ain't never felt this vile
Momma - did you really love me, or was I just a child?
Sad on the outside, I knew you seen it in my face
I wasn't really happy here, but I was forced to lead the way
Copped me a Chevrolet, drift away to the other side just to think
If I get to see Heaven, I can thank you for the ride
And thank you for my other kids and even though
They mommas won't admit that they can't make it but bad
Low on the child support - always been bad boo, tryna make me out to be
The bad guy that I really ain't, bytches quick to hassle me
Cause I don't see my kids enough, but I make the time to pick 'em up
But you find somethin to stick in my face - it ain't me fukkin up
It's bad enough, face to face, hoes who wanna catch a case
So bad they'll try to give me they baby - and what takes the cake
Is the whole ward is fukking her, daddy know where the weakness at
And you spoke lies to ya old mans eyes, how could you sleep wit that?
Jeopardizing everything, desperate, searching for larger life
Sacrificing the entire family, with no regards to Christ
Funny how people look at life - can take this shyt for granted, right?
But then reality strikes, and changes things overnight
I thank the Lord for watching over me, though I'm prone to doin wrong
I repent religiously, hoping that the weak get strong
When the heat gets on {*wind blowing*}
Hoping that the weak get strong, when the heat get's on

I wish I could dap this a hundred times.

Jay doesn't have a song as powerful as this in his entire catalog.
