I see Jay winning a stage battle cause his personality and style lends more to a performance than Nas does
Even when you look at Ether. The punches in it Work better on wax cause you have time to rewind and hear them clearly
He has that multisyllabled style that would hinder his rhyme structure if he tries to act it out. He'd have to slow it down or dumb it down
And that takes away it's uniqueness
Jay is also better thinking on his feet in his rhymes (freestyling)
I think it would have had alot of hype but overall it would suck just because these aren't really battle rappers but definitely give the edge to Jay on stage
I don't agree with you at all, but I respect the way you conveyed your message, just an honest opinion with no hate.
To be honest I think that its weird but you more like... what you said about Nas is how Id think of Eminem more, and how you thought of Jay is also how I'd see Eminem as more, lol
And im' not a huge em fan, used to be though.
Em's style and personality lends him a performance on stage
Em is an awesome freestyle but sometimes in songs you gotta rewind that
Em's style is absolutely multi-based, especially now
but freestyling doesn't take that uniqueness away, so perhaps you see Nas is the same
Em is better on his feet though freestyling(jay would hire a ghostwriter, memorize that shyt, then go onstage like of da top)
Em is a battle rapper and seriously successful album wise, you got one of the best freestylers ever also be the highest selling rapper, your two ends of the spectrum you speak of
