Your definition of
consistent is skewed.
Consistency has nothing to do with quantity. In other words, Jay Z could release an album every single year that doesnt necessarily make him
consistent and basing consistency off of quantity does not really reflect the
quality of the album.
We are not speaking of quantity albums. The consistency that Fluff and other posters are speaking about is artistic, authentic, creative and thought provoking albums which objectively Jay Z does not have alot of.
Nas has been consistent for the most part since his debut outside of 1-2 albums. Outside of being consistent, Nas is lyrically superior and lyrically equipped than Jay Z. There is no competition.
People keep saying Jay Z has skills but what are these skills? lol
He is not an exceptional free style, battler or lyrist. His lyrics are elementary and lack depth.
MC's like Nas make Jay Z look like a 1st grader trying to rap in a talent show. I know its harsh but its the truth. If you take all those catchy beats and producers away thats what it boils down too.

No. Why not? Because Wayne doesn't have the material or claims to back something like that up while Jay-Z does.

Actually they do LOL
Wayne had the biggest first week album sales ever by a rapper and has the most top billboard chart positions by any other rapper. Yes, even beating Jay Z.
I dont like Wayne but just saying....
