Better rapper Vol. 8: Jay-Z or Nas

I used to think Nas was waaayy better. But now I think their about even. Like somebody else said, Nas's pen game is way better. But Jay knows how to dumb it down and reach the masses which Nas has trouble doing. I was listening to Jay's flow on "Girls, Girls Girls" the other day like 'got damn this nigga can flow' and the beat was perfect too.

When Nas is in his zone he's the superior MC but Jay picks better beats, sometimes perfect beats, and so his music reaches the masses. In the end I'd say its a tie with Nas winning by a slight margin (photo finish).

This shit makes no sense

That's cause you can't read

No it's because your logic is fucking retarded

Damn Jay really did used to rap like the fu-schnickens

Anyway, overall Nas is the better emcee especially since 2006-present. Both are my number one and number two emcee.

Shame on any nigga who says one is much better than the other, it' a very subjective argument and it comes down to what you prefer. I know I may catch flack for this but technically, Jay is better. Double Entendres, flow, metaphors, rhyme patterns, double entendres, all of that technical shit, Jay is out of this world. But when it comes to song concepts(metaphors on the large scale), painting a very, very vivid picture, articulating ideas, and being able to synthesize an idea and present it to you with an unlimited vocabulary and strength of intellect, then mix it down so you can see it out of your project window. NaS is the GOAT. Some days I prefer Jay, some days I prefer NaS. They're both incredible artists, and two of my favorites.

Basically what you said is that Jay is better technically, but Nas is better technically.

You need 10 grand for me to explain myself nephew.

What's the point? Faggots can't explain anything. And my uncle ain't here.

Each day that they continue rapping the gap gets wider and wider. From 95 to 02 this thread could go either way, now not so much.
