As much as i love Nas, Jayz has an overall better sound to his music.. and its really noticible when you compare the 2





like i cant imagine Nas rapping over these smooth ass beats

i gotta be in a special zone to listen to Nas music... but as i stated Nas IS better lyrically.. But Jayz is not far from his spot
lyrically as well

People talking about MCz and lyricism...Jay has had legendary street battles with legendary rappers..not no song shyt..we talking new york walk up and battle a nicca type shyt.
Then the dude goes and damn near freestyle whole albums and gives you hyper lyricism with no pen.

I love nas but the nicca need a looseleaf binder,a bible,a dictionary,4 felt tip pens and 3 years to give you a approximation of what jay does.
Who has he street battled??

stay,bye baby,no intro are forgettable
:mjgrin:clean your ears,breh!!
stay was just meh... he was spitting but I have no need to re listen to it. dude just can't pull me in with how he chooses to deliver rhymes

Bye Baby? It was again, just alright. Could have been executed so much better. I need more than just HOW he did it. and the production doesn't have that clarity I expected. Definitely better than Stay.

Ain't shyt bad about that song or beat.

It was a hit.

Hov got that bounce. You want that moody shyt cause you don't leave the house.

Thats not even a good club song, that shyt aint "give it to me" or "can I get a". You're a jay stan... that's the problem... he ain't king midas.
