Exactly as if Nas wasn't bias and the source didn't have it's share of Dave Mays guests in the house of hip hop.
The rest of your post..blah blah blah. That's what I'm reading. Who has the best verse is an OPINION. If you read my post before this I highlight how Hov even predicts the fukkery and ask how can you judge something you can't relate to. Hov verse is talking about the system. If you ain't got no melanin you can't feel it from Hov s point of view.

Nas's bias is beside the point. He doesn't fall into the category of Em stannery that you described. Now you're bringing Dave Mays into it. Again, it's irrelevant.
Yes, it's an opinion, which is why it's laughable that people are actually trying to argue this as a fact. Jay Z didn't predict anything. He gave a valid observation of how music isn't viewed as music, but as something that people rate even if they don't relate. It's not about the system. That line includes the fan that will listen to a verse, a song, or an album and assign a numeric value to it. Like, saying that song, album, or verse is a 2/5.
Race had nothing to do with Jay Z's verse. Much of what Jay says in his verse is even exclusive to Black people. If you think you have to be Black to feel that verse from his point of view, the whole point of the song is lost. There's Black people who criticize Jay Z for his content just like there's mainstream/Pop America who criticize Jay for his content. His verses were addressing them all regardless of race.
like who? suburban white boys?
