My goodness. Jay has a great catalog but some people are over rating his catalogue like it's some ungodly music. Even going back and listening, some of it hasnt even aged well. Nas could easily compete in a versus with Jay. People that are hip hop fans are going to want to hear hip hop songs in a battle like not commercial songs. Nas could easily hold up in that category.

Is versuz about hits or just how good a song is? If its hits Jay would lose to Pac/Future to name a few

Yall don't understand how this works

see this what separates the real from the fake

It's not about what you think is a classic or what you perceive as popular

this is why 50 too scared to go against TI because he would get exposed

The competition is, you play a record, I play record, which one is better

It's not I'm play a single I did 20 years ago and you play one, or we gonna play our biggest hits lmao

Reasonable Doubt and the Black album would beat most of these nikkaz of the stength
Jay got tracks, he could use mixtape and shyt and beat most of these nikkaz

nikkaz like Wayne and Drake, would get exposed as being trash if they tried to entered this shyt, that's why you only seeing OGs do it
Wayne is a OG tho. I’m not the biggest Wayne fan but not too many people could beat him in this. We just saw Jada and Fab and I think he would wash both of them. He been around 20 years

I think it depends on who the artists involved are. Dudes like Jay, LL, and Snoop have tons of hits. But not only are they hits they’re timeless classics and that makes a difference

Btw Jay would absolutely wash Future in this and with just hits
:heh:

It really depends on the matchup. For example Jada was crushing Fab by using straight up hip hop records. Those commerical records didnt sound good next to jada bringing those hard songs. For example if Jay and Nas were to go at a versus. People would want the hip hop records, not those BS songs.

The reason Fab’s hits don’t work is becuz a lot of them were sappy love songs. Jay’s hits weren’t corny. That’s why I don’t see why people think Nas could beat him. Some of Jay’s hits were Big Pimpin, Hard Knock Life, I Just Wanna Love You just to name a few. Not only were they huge hits but they were street anthems. You were just as likely to hear those songs on the radio and club as you would with nikkas on the block playing music

Nas has great features too. Which alot of people sleep on. It's a more even match than people would think. It would probably catch people by surprise actually. Especially in a 20 song setting

I don’t think it’s just catalog unfortunately I think it has to be someone with the same amount of popularity or similar. Snoop, Kanye perhaps.

it isn’t a case of Jadakiss and Fab, where it came down to just music cause neither has been really that kind of popular or has stanbases like Jay does. Also Jay has hits spanning 2 decades. There’s lines people repeat every day(you need more people) that They don’t even know came from Jay
