jay z or nas?
 

who is the better rapper?

i don't really think better, but i like them for different reasons. i would have to go with nas cuz he seems more.....

I need closure on that anecdote.

Besides Reasonable Doubt and some songs off the Dynasty, Nas does just about everything better.

I really like Jay-z's Live and Reasonable Doubt. As far as skill is concerned I think Nas owns him, but Jay-z makes up for it in the style department. I like them both for different reasons, as Shanda said.

there's some closure for ya......

I like Nas lyrical style over Jay Z. He seems to be more about personal/social issues where Jay Z seems to be all about braggin about what kind of rims hes got on his newest SUV.

Jay Z, i'd have to say. i actually rather enjoyed the black album, especially the one that starts off 'my tribute to the mother****ing greatest' and 99 problems.

nas is definately better. All jay-z got to talk about is how great he is and how far hes come. Who wants to hear someone brag about their accomplishments for fourteen tracks. Not me. Plus jay-z is never original. On every album he bites someone. That 99 problems was originally from trick daddy's Thugs are us cd, and lets not forget that me and my girlfriend from pac. He also takes plenty of BIG's lines. A lot of people say he just tryin to let BIG live on through his songs, but the truth is he just garbage, and people need to realize that he's just hype.

I listen to rap mostly for intelegent and interesting lyrics of course their as exceptions like Jedi Mind Tricks for example but in this case Nas because he is levels above Jay Z lyricially.

^^ i agree that Nas is better lyrically, reason why i am choosing him.

But i also like Jay-Z for his style, but eh. :/

nas....i would listen to nas before jigga any day of the week

Jay Z farealdo...Nas is kinda overrated

Jay-Z got style and rhyme
while Nas got more knowledge and skill

yes, Jay-Z is a little flossy and Nas a concious mc

Jay is more related to Biggie and Nas more related to Pac

if they were still alive dey could have done an album titled "the best of all 4 corners"

where sides all equal

If they were still alive, Pac and Nas would be setting new standards for the rap game. And maybe P Diddy wouldn't have to salvage Bad Boy or have "Mr. I Hate People Saying I Sound Like Biggie" take a ten year jail sentence on the chin for his unregistered gun that went off in a nightclub.

Jigga would be singing some la la la choruses trying to save Memphis Bleek's career, or making a cheesy album with R Kelly, saying they aren't guilty, only to really be found guilty nine months later.

nas is better than jayz hands down .. have you heard the song ether???
let me give yall a couple lines...... make sure you read all of it

Brace yourself for the main event
Y'all impatiently waitin
It's like an AIDS test, what's the results?
Not positive, who's the best? Pac, Nas and Big
Ain't no best, East, West, North, South, flossed out, greedy
I embrace y'all with napalm
Blows up, no guts, left chest, face gone
How could Nas be garbage?
Semi-autos at your cartilege
Burner at the side of your dome, come outta my throne
I got this, locked since '9-1
I am the truest, name a rapper that I ain't influenced
Gave y'all chapters but now I keep my eyes on the Judas
With Hawaiin Sophie fame, kept my name in his music\

I've been ****ed over, left for dead, dissed and fogotten
Luck ran out, they hoped that I'd be gone, stiff and rotten
Y'all just piss on me, **** on me, spit on my grave (uh)
Talk about me, laugh behind my back but in my face
Y'all some "well wishers," friendly actin, envy hidin snakes
With your hands out for my money, man, how much can I take?
When these streets keep callin, heard it when I was sleep
That this ***-Z and ****afella Records wanted beef
Started ****in up my weapon, slowly loadin up this ammo
To explode it on a camel, and his soldiers, I can handle
This for dolo and it's manuscript, just sound stupid
When KRS already made an album called Blueprint
First, Biggie's ya man, then you got the nerve to say that you better than Big
**** suckin lips, whyn't you let the late, great veteran live

All I did was gave you a style for you to run with
Smilin in my face, glad to break bread with the god
Wearin Jaz chains, no tecs, no cash, no cars
No jail bars Jigga, no pies, no case
Just Hawaiian shirts, hangin with little Chase
You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a Stan
I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class
You Tae-bo hoe, tryna' work it out, you tryna' get brolic?
Ask me if I'm tryna' kick knowledge
Nah, I'm tryna' kick the **** you need to learn though
That ether, that **** that make your soul burn slow
Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy?
Oh, I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy
Rockafeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?
Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas
And now y'all try to take my spot, fellas?
Philly's hot rock fellas, put you in a dry spot, fellas
In a pine box with nine shots from my glock, fellas
Foxy got you hot 'cause you kept your face in her puss
What you think, you gettin girls now 'cause of your looks?
Ne-gro please
