I'm not mad at your view but I think you realize you'd probably be in the minority

The only real difference between Nas and Jay is Steve stoute


Anyone with two ears can hear who the better artist is..
I know the conventional wisdom is the opposite, but it's wrong. Jay made shyt that was more appropriate for what was popular at the time. Nas made more timeless shyt.

In 99 Nas dropped Nas is Like. Jay dropped Do It Agsin. Jays record was probably bigger on the charts. But now? It's no question what the better beat is.

Yeah. If he wanted to.

Nas doing it, doesn't mean Jay can't.


Jay is more talented at the art of putting words together and doing it with a twist on the flow and metaphors he would use.

Nas is more interested in trying to tell stories that end up not making great songs.
And vice versa. fukkboi. But u been sayin stupid ass shyt the whole thread. And I seriously doubt Jay can do it at the level Nas did. He can't even tell a straight forward story as well as Nas. Let alone backwards. And this is NOT a slight against Jay.

What are u retarded? He told the story backwards. Said sentences backwards and was completely coherent and clear thruout the whole thing. There was zero flaws in his storytelling. U don't know wtf u talkin bout.
