The Gap Between Nas & Jay Z Just Widened

[mson]

I'm a Nas stan but let's just enjoy the album first. Comparing it to anything so soon takes away from this album release moment.

All I’m a say about 4:44... it’s amazing how the great moments on that album, and Jay’s openness, overshadow how bad HIS flow was in spots, and some of the meh-ass moments overall.

Its was a good album, but an overal snooze fest.

I have had no desire to relisten to that joint since its come out.

I'll be jamming this Nas for the next 10 years easy.

I thought Nas rapping better pre 4:44 right now they I give Jay the edge cause of that albums content though you can say they both bout the same rapping wise

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Nas is just a better rapper man.. still sounds crisp 25 years in the game..

Incredible album

I still have PAC slightly over Nas, but Jay is no longer in this conversation (similar to Lebron not being in the Kobe/MJ discussion)

Eminem is Grant Hill

So you just going to make this comparison after Lebron brought 11 guys he found in a dumpster to the NBA finals

The Coli will turn ANYTHING into a LeBron vs. MJ thread.

Smile 3rd verse >>> Any verse on Nasir

 

[Stick Up Kid]

So you just going to make this comparison after Lebron brought 11 guys he found in a dumpster to the NBA finals

And got Swept in the Finals and Quit

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

4:44 >>> Nasir.

Might be true but thread starter has a point

Although I could go LeBron > Kobe

 

[Trace]

Too early for all those 4:44 comparisons.

"And who y'all comparing me to is nonsense
Show gratitude in the presence of dominance"

A - it's funny this jay z - nas thing still lives on. they've been ok with each other longer than the beef now, plus it was over 10+ years ago.
B - Production on 4:44 was sick, and Jay always knows to work with great producers (always did).
C - I still agree it's like 8+ years clear that nas > jay, but Not enough people really listen to lyrics anymore so some will have a hard time noticing that

 

[Take_Note]

Does the album have any production on it that sounds like Foul Breeze or Deja Vu?

How, based off what? Nas is light years ahead of Pac and its not even close.

Not to me.

It ain’t been 24hrs since the release and here we go with nas vs jay. 4:44 was a great fukkin album, and after listening to Nasir 3 times, it’s s great album as well. Way to early to rate which is better

Both got classics, both got weak albums, both top 5 DOA.

Just because I think Nas is greater doesn’t take anything away from Jay.

1. Nas
2. Pac
3. Black thought
4. Jay
5. Cube
