I like how even after the beef he still shouts out nas
Who the best….”Jay-Z, Biggie, or Nas”. Jay knows. He just hates Ether. He shouldn’t, though. Nas never had a corny record, and Jay had Hawaiian Sophie so….
@@agrant4701 Nas never had a corny record?? Stop.
@@agrant4701 Nas is sick Jay is sick but everyone has corny shit
@@agrant4701 yea oochie wallie was fantastic lol
@@biscuitsforbreakfast460 nothing like Hawaiian Sophie. Let's be honest. Listen to Hawaiian Sophie again, Stanley. It's OK to concede it is wack: because it is.
Man hearing Eminem and Nas together is a breeze even tho they are totally different
I think ye is better than them both
@@bailey3276 lyrically or as an artist? Nas Kanye and em are my 3 favorite rappers. Kanye got
the best discography out of them and is the most creative. But he got some corny lines and isn’t as lyrically gifted as the other two.
Eminem has displayed some of the greatest lyricism and conveys his message in the most powerful way.
Nas is the most consistently amazing of the three. The other twos uniqueness leads to them having lows.
@@bailey3276 L, ye aint mc
@@whysoserious652 No. He has served as both the DJ AND the MC- with great success. And for that, he deserves credit.
@@bailey3276 😂
y krs1 look like he got a goofy filter on him
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ffs was literally just gonna say
He looks like your girlfriend
If you are judging a man by his looks. You are going to have a lot of problems in life my friend. And if you don't know about KRS 1. Than obviously you don't know anything about hip hop.
@@JorgeGonzalez-ut3pm bro ain’t judging him, he just made a comment on how he looks, nobody said he was trash or anything so stop acting like he did💀
"To be humorous to be dead serious” thats a bar🙂🔥
@Jordan Barclay nothing to get, it’s just a sentence with an oxymoron
😅🤣🤣 fck , got me choked
It wasn't an oxymoron it was continuing list. "To be humorous, to be serious"...etc.
@@MT-qu5jv umm bro it’s an oxymoronic sentence. Humorous, dead serous, are quite opposite which makes it an oxymoron in a sentence.
Not to mention if he was trying to rap he’d make them rhyme too, humorous serious
I love how he let it be known that Pac didn’t have any super great skill that made him stand out. But when you listen to his music you feel the passion that it’s all coming from his heart😤
He voiced his opinion but an opinion ≠ fact.
The thing is Pac did have bars too. I find it funny when I play a not super popular Pac song and someone’s like wow that was the most lyrical I’ve heard pac get.. people don’t even know apparently. But I think his passion is his main attribute people recognize and are drawn to
So much wrong with this it's insane
@@teancoffee208 well that is a fact lmao. in comparison to big at least
He spoke the truth
Reporter: Asks a simple question.
JayZ: Answers in rhymes
Word!! 💯👍🏾👑
That's how it is when your a true rapper
Literally. He’s incredible
Nothing was rhyming accept the first sentence

What about Kanye
@@bailey3276 Kanye ain't nothin to rakim or pac
He baiting cuz that’s nas fav
As a Die Hard Pac fan I love the fact that he stated how PAC’s passion was what made him a legend in the game. What he didn’t have in the lyrical department he made you feel what he was saying. Especially songs like Pain, So Many Tears etc. Nice list by Jay.
In a time where most MCs were just straight up gangster rappers, 2pac combined the gangster rap of NWA, with the politicalness of Public Enemy, with anger and authenticity.
And no rapper to this day has anything quite like ‘Dear Momma’, or even ‘Brenda’s got a Baby’. BIG was great yes, a legend in his own right. But slightly one dimensional. And Pac just went *Beyond* . It’s hard to find anybody that captured the Black Experience like Pac did, in such a poetic way…especially in his early works
@@mvib1604 Yeah, Biggie, as much as I love him, wasn't as personal as 2pac. Didn't make me feel the way 2pac did. I think Kendrick Lamar is filling that 2pac gap though: combining political + personal rap.
Tupac was lyrical idk what jayz talking about
@@reesemusic4279Every rapper is lyrical. Now that we cleared up common sense. Pac wasn’t technically lyrical at any elite level. He used other things to overcome his technical weaknesses like his delivery, passion, vocal inflections and good music production.
No rapper is as sincere and mature like him. Look up his interviews. He is so proper and humble. And the way he talks about others. Is amazing
He just low key dissed pac, yeah he did it in a mature way but it wasn’t really necessary to say that since you put him on the list so that’s not really cool of him to say that
He’s saying that pac didn’t have any technical skill, so what jay has 😂😂😂
Except Nas, ironically
@@markeriksson5608It was a critique, not a diss
How is it a diss if it's the truth?@@markeriksson5608
My Top 5 Is:
1. Nas
2. Jay-Z
3. Biggie
4. André 3k
5. Black Thought
Hm Lil Wayne, Eminem, Rakim, 2Pac
Rakim and em should be in top 5 but nice list
"What he doesn't have in technical skill"
Don't let the Pac fangirls hear that 😂
Yeahh I know right 😂
They go crazy when it's facts.
no such thing as pac fangirls tho
@@nomecognome8737 yes their is, all the people that call him the goat, the same people that blur the lines because they're in love with him lol

Yeah, Nas is important!
@@TheCooderix nas the goat 🤷♂️
2pac had a superior technical skills in wherever you are (ft big Daddy Kane), deadly Combination, god bless the dead, if I die 2nite, Old Skool and many other hits
I think his technical skills get overlooked alot but I agree with your assessment and those songs you mentioned...also include first to bomb in that category
Yup and add Blasphemy. What made Pac so extraordinary is he could make grown men cry or fight, with the simplest of words. No other artist in history could pull this off!
@@arturomcdowell1451You know nothing of history. Stay in your lane lmao
@@arturomcdowell1451that's a good joke 😂
Tupac 🐐 by far! Destroyed everyone. 1.Pac Cassidy, Jayz, Nas, Ti, J Cole, Em, J-hood Kendrick, BoneThugs, Biggie_no Diddy 😅
No Rakim??? That’s a Hip Hop crime!
isn't he talking about rap
Listen to the question again. Rakim is more of a lyricist than a MC. His Raw. But the others bring a different energy
@@TalentedMisterHeat8rakim is the reason rappers don't start with hip hop hibby da hibby you don't stop the rock to the bang bang boogie to up start the hibby to the boogie da be
Rakim is dope. But he hasn't really hit in decades. He just doesn't have the longevity to be considered one of the greats of all time even though he is undoubtedly one of the most influential.
@@77Creation with that logic, Tupac and Biggie shouldn’t be considered one of the greats either.
Jay always mention Em among his favorites.
Not really ever
Tupac 🐐 by far! Destroyed everyone. 1.Pac Cassidy, Jayz, Nas, Ti, J Cole, Em, J-hood Kendrick, BoneThugs, Biggie_no Diddy 😅
Because he is one of the greats. He's not the GOAT though. Beat selection is trash and subject matter is corny. Em is the epitome of style over substance.
@@nightcraveI honestly can’t even hate that list… but you forgot the God MC Rakim
@@YoungTCash Rakim is one of my favs too! Big Daddy Kane was nice also.
Shot out to Jay for giving Kool G and Big Daddy Kane their due. Definitely Brilliant MCs whose album sales weren’t great but skills were diamond. 💎
Pac Big Jay KRS Kool G and Kane damn that cypher sounds good to me
People gota stop saying big, because is it big pun? Big L?
I love how Jay-Z actually listed the reasons *why* he put those MCs on that top list, as opposed to just listing them.
" His passion could put alot of guys to sleep ". Much respect to Pac, even means more considering the fact that Pac dissed him several times. And Jay still lays down respect. You don't see that very often. Especially from a man as accomplished and significant as Hov.
Please he waited until DMX died to give him his props SMH
@@rollotherevolutionaryreneg395 I didn't hear dmxs name in his top 5. Dead or not, Hov has a man who shitted on him in his top 5 all time. That's some serious respect. And takes some class.
Nas too
@@macdonaldmolokwane4567 Nas too what
@@wickedowitch1652 Nas also has dissed him many times
I love how the crowd gets hyped over her question
Anticipating what one of the goats has to say
Yeah its a fucking great question
Because Jay was sincere enough to mention G Rap - one of the best MCs in history
Jay would forever get my respect for mentioning his biggest rival
"Biggie was the better rapper, but Pac was the better human being."
- Shock G.
RIP Humpty.
Honestly, that's a stupid ass quote.... No offense, but by what measure are we judging who's the better human lol? So, because Pac spoke about black issues, that makes him an undeniably greater human being?
That's just a deluded stan analogy tbh
@@mohash21 Yes, bc he spoke about his people in a positive light he is a better person. Are you delusional or being purposely obtuse?
@@neighborhoodk3477 you don't know anything about what Biggie actually thought for his people... Just because you put it on record doesn't automatically mean you are a better person.... So no, I don't think I'm being "deliberately obtuse". I think you're being delusional as most Pac fans are..
@@mohash21 I dont even like Pac. Seems you’re being deliberately obtuse cus going on record is a whole lot better than keeping to yourself thats fact
Furthermore, speaking about your people in positive light is literally no metric to judge who's a better person 😂. What kind of stupid logic is that. There is a ton of other veeerryy significant factors that should be considered to judge and make such bold claims.... You don't know anything about Biggie or Pac to judge enough as to who's a better person dude.
That five he listed would be untouchable add Rakim you have the 92 Dream Team of Hip Hop
For me I will take away Kane and add Rakim
Pac was a master lyrist!
With using only a couple words you could explain what he was saying by a full paragraph.
Lupe Fiasco is another, go listen to the song, 'Put You On Game'
The fact he didn't say Big L ..
What about The R Rakim
Ahh. The GOD MC.
greatest MC of all time!!!!
Rakim is number one on my list.
Rakim ain't shit
He called Em the goat so we revoked his 🐐 status
@@MrMathoks dumbest logic ever and who’s “we” + Em is the goat

That’s awesome
damn
Thats crazy. Who is your uncle?

2PAC became that legend
that everybody in hip hop want to be
MAKAVELI rest in peace
I Wanna be a living Legend, Say m'y name affiliate it to this m.f.in' game with no more pain - 2pac
After Death. No one wants to be legendary like Tupac unless the are dumb. 🎉🎉🎉Yall act like this dude was this big when he was a live. Like most legends it continues to grow minus facts or reason🎉🎉🎉
I was waiting for him to say Big L ! That 7 minute freestyle was lit 🔥 🔥 Big L Rest In Peace
Em got as close to this in a song as anyone ever has w the anthem. Tech, Immortal, krs, ace, monch etc
Speedom? Pretty good song but I think World Wide choppers was a better one with yellawolf, Twista, Busta, twisted insane, tech and some other guys
@@lonewolfe5960 I'm talking about just collecting a far range of new and older legends at the time. Imo that would be the anthem
Jay-Z: i also need eminem and nas
whoever edited this video: okay thats enough we didnt ask all that
Lol
Damn you and Big L was on go back then R.I.P Big L
I’m mad as hell he didn’t say Big L, come on Hov, that 10 minute freestyle? Crazy.. L definitely had Jays number on that one😂🔥💯
That freestyle was probably written but the potential that big l had was insanee
@@enisarifi6878 I believe most was a freestyle since he was a known battle rapper that could legitimately freestyle.
@@michaelflorentin1758 nah bro those verses were fucking crazy no one would come up with those
He had Jays number on that one but they also battled on Big L block in Harlem and Jay won. Look it up. The actual battle isn’t out but people talking about it is. Rest In Peace Big L
How can he forget Big L?
Jay is really ONE of the best EVER

He didnt say Big L ,because he got smoked in that freestyle 😂
💯😂🔥🔥
His number 1 is Pac. As a Newyorker, he’s just not allowed to say so…😅
I respect the fact that Jay Z is confident and humble enough to answer the question honestly, bc most Mc's with his talent have said, they don't want to hurt feelings of ppl they like and respect and/or they say themselves 5 times 😏. Mr. Carter answered and I respect his lineup 💯🖋🎤🔥😊👍🏻 and he still wanted to add more.

Jay z definitely knows his classics. Choosing g rap and krs proves it ...
I respect him for including Tupac. I don’t understand why many people emphasize Tupac not having technical skills. I don’t believe that or agree with them whatsoever. That’s like saying that Michelangelo wasn’t a great painter because he was not an architect or in the Pope’s good graces. It’s like saying that Kareem wasn’t a great center because he didn’t win more championships. Balderdash!!
Great List🔥🔥🔥!!!!!But Pac was technical,just gotta listen.
they don't understand his depth 🔥
Damn I thought he was gona say big L he’s so underrated
Fr probably the most underrated ever honestly

R u mad..
"If I die tonight" check that one
Not that he doesn't have it he said big first and compared to a lot of rappers he isn't that technical his strength was his passion

Smoked him on a freestyle
I Respect him when he dead serious or nervous ? The apex of the Rap Game ... Category Hov... And a couple of others .... Him & Everyone He spoke of !!!! They should create A Hov. Category ? Respected By merit 💯🎯
People in the comments are either misunderstanding what Jay meant or purposefully misinterpreting what he said.
His reference to "technical skill" didn't mean Pac wasn't lyrical. But Pac was a pretty straightforward person, in and out of the booth. Pac didn't use double or triple entendres (Jay), or Iambic pentameter (Kendrick), or write an album with a story that plays differently whether you listen to the songs in order or in backwards order (Lupe). That's just not the kind of person Pac was, and it wasn't the kind of rapper he was. Pac was visceral and direct; if he wanted to say something, he just said it, no double or hidden meanings needed.
That's not a slight to him at all. Pac was Leonardo Da Vinci with the pen. Jay is Salvadore Dali. Both are artists, but their approach to the art was/is completely different, this the listener's experience is completely different.
That's a good point and yes pac was very direct especially on diss tracks
Basically...when a lyracist like Jay says Pac wasnt a crazy lyracist...he might have the educated take lol
Low key dissing Pac saying he lack technical skills but is very passionate. It sure takes more than passion to be like Pac..
What song would you say that Tupac showed his lyrical skill not his great oratory skills?

kool g rap is really underrated im glad he is aware of his ability to rap
You can tell he actually thought about that question
When ppl ask u Dead or Alive, this means they wanna hear Tupac n Biggie name.
Im glad he mentioned KRS the first hiphop teacher. I hope he mentioned big pun as well nobody ever matched big pun’s cadence and tongue twisters. “ dead in the middle of little italy little did they know that we riddled two middle men who didnt do diddily “ 🔥🔥🔥
Eminem big pac 50 cent and Wayne that’s my top 5. Honorable mentions to L Andre and cube
