What did you guys think of Masta Killa and U-God's debut?

**Goofle** · 11-21-2012, 09:56 AM

I think I listened to them but they didn't make an impression.

I've always liked Jay Z better, but honestly this is sort of like comparing 2 completely different aspects...Jay Z is based more on business while Nas is more indulged into the true culture of hip hop. It's almost like 2 different views of NYC rap, but honestly I've always been way more of a Jay Z fan just due to his delivery, wordplay, and consistency. Growth is important too, Nas has been kind of stagnant in my opinion, Jay Z has grown & moved with the times!

^very true about Nas' limited growth

How can you think Jay-Z is better musically when you admit he is more concerned about business?

Nas hasn't been stagnant either, Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic, I Am, God's Son, Hip Hop is Dead, The Lost Tapes and Life is Good are all good albums, some of them are great. The rest (ones I haven't listed) are either average or just not very good.

Jay-Z in my opinion has 1 good album, a couple of average ones and the rest are terrible. You've just rattled off a load of cliche's there about consistency. The only way Jay-Z has grown is by adapting to contemporary trends purely to sell music. And he just dickrides whoever is the flavour of the month.

Jay-Z's music is unimaginitive, unthreatening and 100% vanilla.

Jay-Z is more interesting musically, that's pretty obvious.
