Real recognise Real. Busta Common and bunch of others acknowledged this Nas is GOAT musically. Even Jay knows this in his heart but pride wont let him acknowledge. There really hasn't been any competition. The closest
Jay: influenced by Nas, enough catalogue but not as creative/substance; only commercial appeal/business acumen over Nas
Pac: enough catalogue, versatile but still not as lyrical as Nas
Rakim: influenced Nas but Nas took it to another level with the creativity, storytelling
Ghost: Better.more consistent catalogue than Nas but not as deep
BIG: not as lyrical and not enough in catalogue.Em: please shouldn't even be mentioned with the rest. Dope lyricist and opened doors for whiteboys and all; but really tho.Catalogue just doesnt hold wieght

i don't see how people still think jay is the greatest out, when he personally told yall that he sold out and went the commercial route. he even used common's name in that song. something bout lyrically talib kweli.common sense, when i made 5 mill, i ain't been rapping like common since. i got the quote wrong, but its similar to that.

I don't think it's far fetched to say so, if, taken in context. I think on face value in the areas of raw in your face lyricism, charisma, energy, and consistency Ghost is perhaps better. But I agree with gifted. Ghost isn't as deep, introspective and doesn't take as many chances musically. So, for me personally that bumps him down some notches. But for the qualities I mentioned Ghost is light years ahead.

I totally respect yours & Gifted's opinion because I rock with Ghost BUT, to prove my point & dead this debate I ask u & Gifted to name ONE of Ghostface's 9,10,11 cd's that compares to ILLMATIC. Lemme be clear,not better than Illmatic but one cd by Ghost that simply is comparable to Illmatic.Kwan Dai;3384122 said:

Sorry bruh but Nas had his time... he's a good lyricist and he's done a lot for the game buts that where it stops
Jay-Z is the reason why Hip Hop is still the most popular music genre... whether it be him or the people he's influenced
and numbers dont lie... when allhiphop was doing the top 5 DOA most rappers had Jay in their top 5

imo nas is the goat. even though nas was my favorite rapper i always considered biggie the goat, but that changed for me.
