When did Jay Z surpass Nas to you?

[qnsfinest]

He surpassed him in actually making good albums

To each their own, but Nas's catalogue shyts on Jay's catalog. Nas might have 1 or 2 albums around the 3 mic range, but Jay has damn near a handful. It took Jay 10yrs to finally make a good album since his last good one was American Gangster.

 

[Columbo]

Never has.

Jay is in the bottom tier top 10
Nas is in the PAC, Rakim tier in the top 3

Thats my top 3 as well, not sure the order but its gotta be Pac, rakim and Nas

I also agree about Jay Z being near the bottom of the top 10 tier

I always thought jay musically is above nas as a wave rider and bar recycling champion.

Jay has better $ for buying beats & taking signees flows.

Fixed.

Jay z has always been a better MC than nas. He is way more clever and witty. We can go bar for bar

 

[Drip Bayless]

Jay's chance to surpass Nas as a rapper has passed. In terms of popularity and relevance tho, he surpassed him a while ago

 

[Bondye Vodou]

never

 

[RichYung]

Looooong time ago

 

[T.he I.nformant]

He hasn't.

But they're both elite, goat-level artists that we should just be proud of as a community.

But I know this is a thread so carry on.

nas has more rhymes then jay-z easily and more flows then jigga easily.

Nas is a marginally better emcee than Jay, but Jay makes way better music.

how?

Jay flips things way more creatively than Nas ever has.

Nas has a very surface level of rapping.

Never

Jay just got balls to.speak to cacs let's not get carried away now. Nas been at it.

speaking AT them is different from HOW you do it.

Jay is better at doing it.
