When did Jay Z surpass Nas to you?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

this shyt is terrible.

 

[havoc]

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

As an emcee, Jay is better. Nas owned Jay in the storytelling category, and the other areas of rapping Jay dominate.

 

[Fctftl]

I dunno but I hope Nas album drop soon.

 

[mr.africa]

Yo did I really see someone say Jay is a better storyteller than Nas?

Smh where all of you Jay stans when Life Is Good and MCHG dropped

they are very bold at the moment.
was a different story when magna carta dropped.

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.

bro, half of nas' catalog has songs y'all don't even know exist...cause NO ONE likes them

the commercially successful Magna Carta?

nothing new
like someone in this thread said already, go back to stanning his bank account and lifestyle!!
his new album is dope though!!

Looooong time ago

Rocafella's era alone made me forget Nas even existed most times.

Dude was a non-factor.

 

[Homer Simpson]

his chance was when he started that beef with nas, but he failed miserably.

Nas ain't touched that shyt in TEN YEARS.

How y'all hate the album and LOVE the songs?????

all MAJOR songs

 

[JayBaldacci]

Hov BEEN had that bounce



Jay been making classics

This is a bad song.

Dudes talking about Nas skill but can't name more than a few songs

The song matters. The entertainment value matters.

Hov, all day.

 

[neko_804]

Never

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

This is a bad song.

No. Its not, actually.

You children probably weren't around. This shyt was RINGING off. Hov had a hit with this shyt. Cool little mid-tempo joint.

Did the job. And its classic slick talking S. Carter.

 

[Soylent Greenz]

I'm a 90s nicca,so I have a deep appreciation for both.
that being said...i can listen to any nas track and hear every rhyme and pattern the first go round..and be impressed.
There are times when you back to jay shyt years later and hear a hidden pattern or rhyme or reference and be fukking blown away that not only did the nicca do it years ago...how the fukk am I just now catching it?
Both are best in show tho.
