All you people that are riding for Jay Electricity should post a verse from him to back up these bold claims!

Hit 'em up real, real good but don't kill him

We only want to burn him to the point that they willing

To give the location of the blank face villain

Who split atoms and give mushrooms to civilians

Hiroshima never recovered and all the evidence was smothered

Under a thick cloud of rubble

The pope is his brother

The hillsides is his mother

That statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover

She's a harlot, who stood still like time while New York turned scarlet

And the levee monster sucked up New Orleans

While they was playin' man vs. man in Afghanistan

With they mind on Iran, Iraq and Sudan

Let him recruit you, he will try to use his powers to seduce you

Just let him think that the feeling is mutual

Because if he found out that you already knew

The atom had a positive, a negative and a neutral

He'll probably salute you

Then wait till you turn your back like a coward and shoot you.

Bars nigga
 
Nas is one of the greatest emcees alive..He comes from that Rakim family tree of scientific rhyming..Nas' flow sounds like it can flow forever..You hear this quality on illmatic..Also from a artistic pov, his song concepts excel in creativity..Whether he's rhyming a story backwards or personifying a gun,Nas be painting pictures with words.That shit is a special gift..Nas has outshined so many niggas on guest appearances and has held his own against some of the greatest emcees(Jay z,rakim, AZ,Big Pun,Jadakiss,kool g rap,andre 3k etc)...He even held his own against the younger rappers(wayne,schoolboy Q,kanye,game etc)..

Jay E is nice but not like Nas..Especially illmatic/it was written Nas in his prime was out here destroying tracks on albums and mixtapes...Rapping rewind button worthy bars..

Jay E may have Nas in the flow department slightly(aleast to my ears)...Jay Es vocal tone sinks in with the instrumentals more to me..He kinda got that quality Biggie had but lyrically? Nas holds that crown..

I don't think it's as outrageous a comparison as you guys are makin' out. Illmatic/IWW Nas prolly the best lyricist in rap but post that era he's been more about dope songs and concepts than straight bars.

Bar for bar, few can mess with Nas. Jay Elect over here struggling to outbar JayZ, a nigga that Nas washed.

This..

Jay Z washed Jay E on shiny suit theory...and Eye love Jay Es verse on that..

Nas has arguably washed Jay on all the collabs they did together especially "success" and "black republicans" not to mention "ether" had that nigga Hov choking up about to cry on the radio lol..and that stillmatic freestyle bodied the whole roc in a few bars..Nas took out the whole crew by himself

Jay E should of signed with Nas but he wanted that money ...smh

Few excerpts and most of us know, this is just touching the surface. Nas' catalog is the definition of official:

If money's ya religion sky the limit live life

Numbers is big business makes the poor live trife

The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream

Through your existence become wealthy, knowledge is king


...

Everything you into is underworld related

You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred

You don't trust a soul, hold up, you moldin' soldiers

To pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder

Think of how many dudes died tryin' to be down with you

Everybody's under six feet of ground but you

Still standin', still roamin' through the streets, that's real

You a survivor, knowin' all the beef is ill

You got a bunch of thugs witchu even now that's ready

Trustin' your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly

The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day

A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away

That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes

Whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?

Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is God

Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars

Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars


...

Blessings of life to the children, they say life is like five days

Words of a old man with silver hair, in his wheelchair

His eyes were bloody while describin what lies before me

Said evil bitches and jealous men would try to destroy me

It occurred to me, this old nigga's words couldn't be realer

I'm on top now, slightest drama, I'll have ta kill ya

Cause animals sense weakness, sharks smell blood in water

Ishmael, Moses and Job knew the divine order

Shit is plastic material, havin' no life

I crash whips and leave it no matter the price

As long as I survive, cop a new five

Circle the block where the beef's at

And park in front of my enemy's eyes

They see that it's war we life stealers, hollow-tip lead busters

There's no heaven or hell - dead is dead fuckers

And your soul is with God, your mind keeps lurkin the earth

Watchin your own murder reoccur


....

And if I cry two tears for her

That would be the most that I can give to her

I am Joseph, Darryl, Jason, Dr. Dre, O'Shea

And a host of those who passed away

Today I'm Drake, I'm Wayne, 2 Chainz

You say you want to rap, to this bitch you must commit

Then you're a slave to your grave, you won't get out, you cannot quit

She menstruates weekly, her vibe covers keep you warm

But the source to her heart is love, word up, right on

You know how girls are, she love when you licking on her world star

Kissing on her belly, trick on her at Onyx

Confused fans think that she illuminates demonic

But she's the object of my affections, God's essence, God bless her


....

A project minded individual, criminal tactics

Us black kids born with birth defects, we hyperactive

Mentally sex-crazed, dysfunctional they describe us

They liars, at the end of the day, we fuckin survivors

I remember watching Scarface the first time

Look at that big house, that Porsche paid for by crime

How could I sell this poison to my peoples in my mind?

They dumb and destroy themselves is how I rationalize

I'm surprised you haven't brought this up whenever you defend Elect in them threads ..

Shouldn't have signed with anyone actually

Nasir Jones the greatest HipHop musician dead or alive in terms of lyrical skill over 2 decades deep. ..
 


"Jay Elec doesn't write it

HOV couldn't write it, he vacationin'

Jungle the only brother I take shit from

Hassan give me lines, we talk all the time

So I guess if he inspired my song it ain't mine ... "
