WTF was Jayz thinking going at Nas?
- Thread starter Pop123
- Start date
And what you call a rapper who is too scared to drop another album because he's afraid he won't do big numbers anymore?
jay z would sell in his first week with all those kings and magic did combined

No shyt he'd sell more than Nas but he's still too p*ssy to put something out, seven years and counting
Guess his new career is cheerleading for his wife at the Grammys

There ain't no such thing as a ''war''. That would be like Liston saying yeah Ali beat me in the ring that day but he got Parkinson so I won the war. They went on the ring and Jay took a vicious KO
Nas and Jay are attached same way big and pac are attached that don't mean they ain't kings on their own.
Nas is a legacy artist. With the streaming thing first week sales are less important as long as he's regularly streaming and touring. And he makes majority of his money outside of rap anyway.
But as music fans all we should care about is artistry. And Nas is way above jay on this department.
We ain't going to deny Goat status from rakim because of sales ain't we ? So if the sales argument was the only metric for goat status, Eminem would be n1 undisputed despite fact that his disco been shyt since 2004

I think Jay Z also threw a shot at Nas on the Dynasty intro
“Nothing has gone as you predicted”
Most people counted Nas out around that time mainly because Jay was everywhere on the radio and was super popular. Him and his crew was funded by the biggest rap label back then. Some of what you mentioned here added to the Nas is done narrative at that time from people who doubted Nas. However, all of this just adds more to the legend of Nas and his GOAT status. He went through all of these mishaps in the industry while also dealing with family issues, but was able to resurrect his career by proving he was the better MC. It's the way he responded in the music and interviews that should be studied because everything was perfect. The doubters didn't see it coming.
You didn't answer any of the questions.
And don't bring Lebron into this because you made a false equivalence between an all star and a GOAT. And if you're saying is the GOAT or is the GOAT, he's widely considered to be that by many. Still, Michael Jordan is also widely considered the GOAT and he hasn't taken a shot in decades. The knocks against LeBron is that while active, he has lost championships where Michael Jordan three peated twice and didn't lose Finals and won all his championships with one team.
Only thing Jay Z has on common with LeBron is both of them cried when they lost.

Such a gotdamn false narrative
that has been debunked extensively numerouslyOf all the people Jay has dissed in his career, how come Nas is the only one he gave life to
Nas career in the dirt....=3 million albums sold between I AM and Nastradamus.
I AM rated 4 mics. Nastradamus 3.5
Lost Tapes was all music made from the period Nas was supposedly "career dead."
The narrative is simply foolhardy to anyone with common sense
