When did Jay Z surpass Nas to you?

[JustCKing]

Jay tells stories BETTER>

Its just true.

You can like Nas more. But even jay has him on the flow.

c'mon son.

Jay isn't a better storyteller than Nas. In terms of execution and creativity, Jay doesn't have better storytelling songs than these:

I Gave You Power
Small World
Blaze A 50
2nd Childhood
Get Down
Undying Love

Jay don't got songs like One Love, Blaze a 50, Rewind, or I Gave You Power how is he a better storyteller.

Jay does have a more versatile flow.

Story time was never Jigga steez no different than bouncy stuff was for Nas

Dead Presidents (I forgot that)

 

[who killin it?]

hawaiian sophie

for real tho

musically... The Blueprint.
But Nas has never been surpassed as an MC.

Maybe 4:44 will light a fire under Nas

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Dope song.

And?

You made a claim that jay is more creative than Nas and that Nas only raps at a surface level.

I've literally never heard jay use an allegory for a whole song with actual character development and I think we can both agree that song was pretty damn creative.

 

[who killin it?]

dumbasses in here really saying Jay is a better storyteller than Nas

thecoli.com y'all

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

As an emcee he never will Jay only beat Nas as a radio artist

 

[Tom Foolery]

They have gone back and forth to be honest.

Napoleon saying Jay-Z is a better storyteller.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Around the same time Manolo surpassed Scarface.

What has blackthought done solo better than Lupe, Eminem and biggie?

Majority of verses on the roots are from black thought . And his catalogue is better than lupe who is in my 10-15 range with biggie in my 15-20 range. Fukk eminem

3000 okay, but you don't consider black thought a solo artist? The man spits majority of the verses from day 1.
