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.

Dude, do you even read the posts? I said EVERY album he released in that time frame was at least GOOD. I wasn't toting the fact that he released a large quantity alone as evidence of consistency.
Jay-Z has an amalgamation of skills that make him a good rapper. He has a great flow, interesting lyrical nuances, and decent storytelling abilities. Plus he's got a good sense of song structure.
Look at "D'evils" from his first album and how he talks about how he is kidnapping one of his old friend's baby-momma and is paying her to give the location of her lover.

I'm gonna be straight with you bro, if you don't think Jay-Z has ANY skills, you just don't know rap music.
