Never Change, Song Cry, D’evils, dead Presidents 2, public service announcement, Marcy me, streets is watching, meet the parents, don’t know what’s not to like. Another thing about Jay which is not talked about is how revealing he actually is. His discography is a journey of his life. You can literally tell at which phase of his life he’s in by an album or a particular string of his albums. You learn about him, even through his mistakes. It’s quite astonishing to those who take the time to really listen to him and take in what it is he’s saying.
It’s literally picking between Kendrick and Drake💔 you can tell most of these decisions were made on who can help me more financially in the future. Sad but true..
For me it’s Nas. I think Nas is the better lyricist technically & I also enjoy Nas’s Catalog more than Jay’s overall. There’s records Nas have done that are some of the most creative records I’ve ever heard like I Gave You Power for example. Both are incredible but from a Lyrical standpoint, Catalog standpoint Nas edges out Jay-Z to me. Nastradamus, Street’s Disciple & Nasir are probably the only records from his discography I don’t like. Out of Jay’s 13 albums I only like about half: Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, The Blueprint, American Gangster, Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life & 4:44. The other records are hit or miss.
I love Nas and Jay-Z. Both top 5 for me without a question. But Nas to me is the goat. I understand the politics behind people not wanting to pick a side. But I'm kinda suprised that Large Pro didn't say Nas. But more disappointed in AZ more than anything.

I agree they don’t want to be black balled. And when the industry promotes you yes your numbers will be better but looking over lyrical content and “big n’ up your brother” nvm mind Nas cadence and content is for those of us that want substance 😂
@@ALexander-ue3kj 4:44 is better than ALL 6 of them albums AND it had more impact. In fact, Jay's 'God Did' verse had more impact than those albums loool. Lastly, Jay rapped better on that Jay Electronica album than Nas did on all 6 of those albums. Nas is not elite anymore lyrically. He's good. Just not elite. Stop trying to make this a close race. Jay has lapped Nas many times at this point and you know it lol
This has never been a contest to me. If you want generic commercialized rap then Jay is your guy. If you're for the essence of this thing called Hip Hop then it's Nas. Nas will always be number one to me
@@kindell1 Guess you couldn't answer that question. I can definitely tell you when Nas made his commercial attempts. Jay speaks to his struggle which was like a lot of young men. Nas speaks on the struggle in his own way. Neither were ever commercial artist. Don't let being a Nas fan blind you .
Nas held his own when Biggie, PAC, and Jay Z dropped. I feel a lot of people say Jay-Z because of the business side. I know everyone has an opinion but you can’t tell me Jay-Z in his Prime was better than Nasty Nas in rap.
I can definitely tell you that. Jay is the better more clever, natural rapper than Nas. It's effortless for him. Jay has waaaay more universally accepted classic songs, features and moments than Nas and he's obviously had more impact on the culture than Nas. Reasonable Doubt is also a BETTER album than illmatic. Jay has the superior catalogue as well.
4 out of the 6 of those albums were average and Nas was NOT elite lyrically. I'll give him Magic 1 and KD3. The run isn't what his fans are trying to make it out to be.
@@D.Baatar1998 Em is a technical savant but he's no where NEAR NAS as WRITER. Nas is a poet. He's not making corny shock value songs babbling like a teenager. Stop trying to force Em in convos he doesn't belong in.

Yeah whatever helps u feel better when you swinging at air after seeing jayz numbers compared to Nas numbers 😂😂😂
Or they just have their own opinion
Nas stans are the most sensitive fan base in the history of music 😂
I agree they don’t want to be black balled. And when the industry promotes you yes your numbers will be better but looking over lyrical content and “big n’ up your brother” nvm mind Nas cadence and content is for those of us that want substance 😂
@@Dafunniestvideo Jay came in the game with his own label. Nas had advances and promotions under MAJOR record labels.
Esco is a poet no comparison
Nas, the Pac that lived to tell his story. It's Nas all day every day 💯❤️🐐
'Jay has more longevity than Nas' I don't think he's heard the KD and Magic Trilogy 🤣
KD and Magic trilogy only reached a niche audience
@@ALexander-ue3kjvery niche
@SlackerET Audience is irrelevant nowadays, Good Music is Good Music...JayZ wishes he was as Good as Nas...That's why he ALWAYS Samples him..🤣
You tripping how Jay got longevity when Mas came out first and still rapping and Jay is not
@@ALexander-ue3kj 4:44 is better than ALL 6 of them albums AND it had more impact. In fact, Jay's 'God Did' verse had more impact than those albums loool. Lastly, Jay rapped better on that Jay Electronica album than Nas did on all 6 of those albums. Nas is not elite anymore lyrically. He's good. Just not elite. Stop trying to make this a close race. Jay has lapped Nas many times at this point and you know it lol
Nas is not bigger than Jay-Z even in his home village.
Yea that is why Nas kicked out Jay from NY back in 2001...because Jay is bigger in NY😂
Nasty Nas for me
NAS = ROCKS-GIRLS.
J-Z =ROCKS-FELLAS 😂
is that a joke what girls? remove kellis who is left

It was a line from Ether..yall so slow
@@jayste9334 oh really tell more about it
Nas is the best lyricist!!!! Hands down
Most of these rappers are giving a political answer.
Can you seriously blame them?!
Facts
💯
Or maybe they just like JAY-Z better?
Nas is the 🐐 I’m surprised at certain responses, some are scared of getting blackballed ha ha
Nas all day...Jay Z just made u dance but Nasty Nas was the lyrical genius. Nas for me 🤴🏿
Nas for me is the GOAT, but Jay-Z is def top 10. I don't understand how anyone can say that Jay-Z is bad at rapping.
Nas destroyed him
How u get destroyed and become a Billionaire
@ggorgeous8729 right... and he smashed his baby's mama and left the used condom on Nas's daughters baby seat...
Nas HANDS DOWN 👑🫡 Give Him his🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
NAS is the true GOAT! greatest story teller in hiphop by far! No one can top him
Thanks 2 Slick Rick
This has never been a contest to me. If you want generic commercialized rap then Jay is your guy. If you're for the essence of this thing called Hip Hop then it's Nas. Nas will always be number one to me
Curious . Exactly when did Jay do commercial rap?
Nas the most timeless mc and he actually love hip hop. Peep the grandmaster awards. Y’all ain’t up on it though.
@@kindell1 Guess you couldn't answer that question. I can definitely tell you when Nas made his commercial attempts. Jay speaks to his struggle which was like a lot of young men. Nas speaks on the struggle in his own way. Neither were ever commercial artist. Don't let being a Nas fan blind you .
Nas held his own when Biggie, PAC, and Jay Z dropped. I feel a lot of people say Jay-Z because of the business side. I know everyone has an opinion but you can’t tell me Jay-Z in his Prime was better than Nasty Nas in rap.
I’m a hip hop connoisseur and to me Jay in his prime couldn’t be touched ⏸️
I can definitely tell you that. Jay is the better more clever, natural rapper than Nas. It's effortless for him. Jay has waaaay more universally accepted classic songs, features and moments than Nas and he's obviously had more impact on the culture than Nas. Reasonable Doubt is also a BETTER album than illmatic. Jay has the superior catalogue as well.
@@onyxonyx4744It’s your opinion, I respectfully disagree.
@@ArtisanWindchimesuntil 2001 Jay got 💥💥💥💥
@@jasonwilliams9307 in the battle according to majority yes. But the battle is not the full picture… Jay wasn’t missing music wise and lyrically.
Large professor wilding. going against the holy grail.
Nas no Question !!!
I love Jay Z but i will forever be NAS fan so am with Oludara
Jay-Z had a sneaky misterous rise and trajectory to fame..Nas is the true genuis, that's the artist that comes out one every 100 years
why nobody listens to his music on spotify then
Nas 💯 .
NAS 💯
Nas for me
Vlad vote dont count. He dont like Nas
The last 6 Nas albums added with the other catalog I’m going with Nas
4 out of the 6 of those albums were average and Nas was NOT elite lyrically. I'll give him Magic 1 and KD3. The run isn't what his fans are trying to make it out to be.
@@onyxonyx4744😂 nas not Ellie lyrically just say you too dump too understand his lyrics 😂
@@onyxonyx4744 those 4 albums stomps all of jay z album in late 2000

Stephen A sound like he talking sports….
Nas is the goat lyrical god
Him and em
@@D.Baatar1998 Em is a technical savant but he's no where NEAR NAS as WRITER. Nas is a poet. He's not making corny shock value songs babbling like a teenager. Stop trying to force Em in convos he doesn't belong in.
@@onyxonyx4744 Facts ! Nas Unique
Exactly , Em doesn’t belong to the real top lyricists , I’m happy someone said it
no he's not, Big Pun is
