Jay-Z vs. Nas

SGR · 11-05-2012, 02:39 PM

Both great rappers, both hugely successful, but who's better and why?

Nas is better. Hugely superior MC.

Okay, someone's stuck in the 90's. the beef's over, we ain't crowing over who's king of Brooklyn any more.
That said, you ask either man, they'd say themselves. You ask me, I say Nasty Nas.
He's the best lyricist in the game, and is streets ahead of Jigga.

Nas isn't Top 20 but he is much better than Jay Z.

lol. he's a certified top 5. you can't fill 20 slots with aesop rock, y'know?

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.
