  1. old.

  2. That’s why he’s the greatest! Listen to the beat, let it guide your words. Brilliant! Wow, he truly is Hova!

  3. school

  4. True legend and inspirational

  5. nas>jay

  6. Jay>Rios

  7. It’s funny how Nas fans feel threatened by every jay-z post so they feel to say something… sad

  8. Nas>Jay

    no threat… being lyrically beater than someone isnt a threat its the truth

  9. Exactly every Nas fan is threatened by anything Jay do…its very sad, which why Jay won the battle and is better at anything Nas tries to accomplish

  10. English? Study that sentence structure you just wrote, henceforth, understanding why a Jay-Z fan is never superior to a Nas fan.

    Holler biiitccch.

  11. jay is such a genius when he wants to speak on something. i hope this is one of those good docs…looking fwd to it!

  12. Hov Vs Nas OnToTheNext..No, seriously…

  13. The whole Nas vs Jay thing is like arguing what the better fruit is between an apple and an orange.

    That being said I prefer apples.

  14. am i the only one unimpressed by this explanation?

    Dont get me wrong Jay is a genius with the whole doing what he does and not writing anything down BUT…

    Isnt it obvious that it should go Beat then flow then lyrics. I thought everybody did that for the most part.

  15. I like Jay better. He lost the batlle to Nas but he won the war. Similar to 50 & Game. You can kill a kat lyrically but at the end of the day big bank take lil bank. Success is truly the greatest revenge cuz u gotta see that nigga everyday!
    Man, I so on point

  16. @Overlooked That’s what he said in the end you dumbass..

  17. Lol, I didn’t know what form of hate/debate was going to pop up on this post. I was like, “Is this going to be a Hov is boring/washed up” or “Joe Camel” post… Then, I remembered the constant Nas v. Jay argument.

    I’m glad it stayed civil. Thanks everyone. [Except unxpekted... j/k kinda]

  18. all nas needs is one mic he dont need a clothing line and all that other bullshit and jay-z should give more credit to big l but i don’t know why we all are arguing about this jay-z and nas are both legends

  19. Nas & Jay r fucking equal. If u think 1 is better than the other ur fucking stupid. Yeah Nas won the battle (listen to Takeover & Ether if u think Jay won ur nothing more than a dickriding stanboy mad at the truth) but that dont mean Nas is lyrically better. 2 diff styles 2 diff people but they’re similar enuff to exist on the same plain. EQUAL!

  20. 4 all the assholes that bring money into the matter simply put… U AINT HIP-HOP!!! If thats the case if Bill Gates dropped a single 2moro then that would make him the illest rapper ever.

  21. Ay fellas check out this new blog that just launched, its DOPEE → http://evident-truth.blogspot.com/

  22. Dear God. Some people just can’t ever let it be with Nas and Jay. And both of them have stans, but Nas stans are the worst. They refuse to acknowledge that Jay has ever done anything of significance.

  23. They are equal?

    How are they equal when one dropped Illmatic

    We all know who is the better artist

    Nas X Damian Marley Album > The Black Fail and 808′s and Heartbreaks Pt. 2

    PS. Nas is original, Jay well, Jay is the biggest biter of our time

  24. @ Level idiotic simile cuz Bill Gates didnt get his wealth from hip hop foo

  25. Exactly just let it be! we love both Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic, Black Album, Blueprint, Stillmatic, It Was Written all the same…. They’re all classics…. Jay and Nas aren’t thinking about each other….

    @unxpekted…. 1) you’re an asshole 2)Nas x Damian Marley’s album didn’t come out yet so how do you know which one is better? Everyone draws influence from everyone… a lot of stuff both nas and jay did was influenced by Rakim…. Study Hip Hop or get some cliff notes or something before you say something out of your ass blindly out of your love for nas

  26. this is how you write a pop song as well..for the most part.

    is this supposed to be new?

  27. Fuhg Gay z… nobody in his family likes him. none of his friends like him. pac, nas n countless others shit all over him. y do all these faggots still interested n this camel?

  28. Jay-Z better lol

    FUCK WHATS HIP HOP! NEED MAKIN $$$$$$$

    Step into the real world kid.

  29. Let me put it like this….I’d rather be Jay-Z than Nas

    Beyonce > Kelis

  30. Jay Electronica > Jay Z

  31. I guess I spoke too soon. Actually, all the hate i mentioned just came true…I hop this is a joke. But if not, oh well…

    Also, why bring Jay Electronica in this? For one, if nobody can claim definitively that Nas is better than Jay-Z 100%, Jay Electronica definitely can’t be brought into this. That’s just begging for a pointless argument.

  32. This whole thing is pointless! Jay & Nas don’t argue which of you cooks their fries better or delivers their paper closest to the door. Stop worry about other ppl and get your wn fuckin life together!
