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.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..
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.
