If you think Jay cant rap, then youve only listened to his last few albums. Listen to Reasonable Doubt, Life and Times Vol. 3 and 2, Blueprint 2, Black Album, The Dynasty, then listen to his features on Jay Electronicas album, the Meek Mill song, God Did, Jay even killed Nas on Black Republicans.
Nas is conceptually more creative. Hov is more technically adept. Jay may not share Nas ability for creative writing. But Nas doesn't have Jays ability to weave in the double entendres and punchlines like Hov.

Honestly speaking I don’t understand how a true hip hop fan would choose Jay over Nas. Nas IS hip hop and for me is the embodiment of new york rap. That fella was a master lyricist at 15..
Nas has a dedicated internet following of about 5,000 people that will scream 'GOAT' underneath every comment section lol Love Nas but that's not actual reality. He has not had the impact that Jay has had on the culture. Nas is up there don't get me wrong but Jay left EVERYONE a long time ago with Pac being a distant second.
@@onyxonyx4744 In hip hop terms, not business terms, how did Jay leave everyone a long time ago? Most people have Nas beating Jay in their battle. For me Jay is good but overrated, he bit quite a lot from Biggie and Big L. After Pac and Big died it was DMX who became the #1 rapper, because X had that it factor Jay didn't quite have. Nas doesn't really have that it factor either but he's lyrically a monster and more original than Jay imo
@@onyxonyx4744 Jay himself is influenced by Nas...Nas has MUCH BIGGER IMPACT ON THE CJLTURE THAN JAY....Nas directly or indirectly had impact on 99% of rappers in the whole world. You just don't know how influential Illmatic is
His last 3 years were not 'phenomenal'. I'll give him two memorable albums out of that run. Magic 1 and King's Disease 3. Neither one of those are universal classics either. Just good albums. Everything else is a weed plate.
@@2pacDocGotDaJuice and Nas in 1996 on Take it In Blood did better verses than everything Jay ever dropped. Inluding his verses on God Did (and there is also an original Take in Blood track that even had better verses than album version)...Nas has TONS of verses better than Jay's best
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.
@Johnnyboycarter7 Did you 4get the Freestyle diss Nas did over the Paid&Full beat..He killed da WHOLE ROC with that one...And we never heard the ORIGINAL Ether,which the record label didn't wanna release..The version we hear,is the "Watered Down"version...which still was a MIC DROP...
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.

@@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
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 😂
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.
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 .

@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 for me
I love Jay Z but i will forever be NAS fan so am with Oludara
That ether, that shit that make your soul burn slow
🔥🔥
Cam was crazy with that "it's really hard." 😂😂😂
Nas no Question !!!
People saying JAY-Z cuz they don’t want to get blackballed lmaoooo nas waaaay better
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.
Nas is the best lyricist!!!! Hands down
Nas 💯 .
NAS 💯
NaS‼️ I was in 10th Grade when this battle took place. This will forever be a conversation in Hip Hop.
Shit I was like 5 going on 6 then nd I still remember like it was yesterday like vividly
AZ, Large Pro, Ghost and Rae saying BOTH is kinda crazy. Aint gone lie lol
I thought the same thing. I almost turned the video off 😂
I thought the same, questionable-i think those are business decisions
@@vic3xognah they know music
True,
See? Even AZ, Nas' close friend doesn't glaze him. These people are veteran who know their shit, not some kids pretending they know hip-hop.
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
@@onyxonyx4744u high them albums was fire
@@onyxonyx4744 oh its ragebait, nvm
It’s Nas. AZ breaking my heart with that answer😭
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 .
I just say Illmatic
Top 3 Of All Time 🔥🔥

@@jasonkim6294 better than illmatic? You crazy !!

Nas , Jay Z , Biggie, Havoc , ODB , RZA all Brooklyn born.
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...
