I'd say Ghost is better than Nas or Jay Z

Big Ghost Chronicles still funny as hell

I'd switch El-P and Aesop Rock, but alas, that's only a small difference. I miss a couple of rappers/rap groups though. (Cage, De La Soul, Cannibal Ox. How 'bout them?)

For me "The World Is Yours" is my favorite hip hop song ever. I never found the appeal of jay z. I liked him on watch the throne but that's because I'm a big Kanye West. I think the thread should be jay z vs Kanye, my opinion Kanye is better.

Don't like hip-hop very much... but in the limited artists I listen to its always Kanye West & KRS-One. Don't like much of Nas or Jay-Z but if I had to choose then definitely Nas... seeing that he put out Illmatic!

Jay-Z comes across as a better businessman than artist.

Nas is a better emcee but Jay Z is no slouch either. Business wise, Jay Z is the smarter business man in Hip Hop.

One's an artist, the other is a salesman.

I remember a mate going to see Jay-Z in 2001 as part of his tour to promote The Blueprint. The crowd was 2/3rds full. Wouldn't happen now. It's only been since he said he was going to retire in 2005-ish and started gallivanting with Rihanna and Kanye West he's been talked about as the greatest ever by your mum, your aunt, your little cousin, your girlfriend etc... I can't respect him. He's a jack of all trades, master of nothing rapper who just adapts to contemporary trends to create music that sells at that particular moment in time. Good for business, bad for music quality. His albums are just disposable Hip-Pop albums which don't pass the test of time. Jay-Z has never cared about making classics, never cared about making music that can last the ages. He could live until he's 1,000,000 years old, release two albums a year and still not get close to Illmatic. People can point to Reasonable Doubt, but that was nothing when it was released, it didn't stand out at the time against the likes of OB4CL, It Was Written, Doe or Die... It's only because of Jay-Z banging on about it being a classic for years that people regard it as one.

He's a ruthless, slimy mother****er who has snaked his way to the top. I don't understand how fans of music can think this is even close.

Nas by a distance.

lol at all the Jay Z hate. God forbid we admit that Jay Z has got skills on the mic.

Ah, that old one. Ignore every salient point made and just accuse anyone who disagrees of being "haters."
