Best rapper alive?

@realtalk: Jay is more consistent than Nas. From 96 to 2003, Jay released an album every year and EVERY one was at least good. (The weakest probably being either Dynasty or Blueprint 3) Nas released "I Am" and "Nastradamus" the same year and both were wack or were at least close to being wack. (Nastradamus moreso) From 94 to 2000, Nas only released 2 great albums, Jay released 3-4.

Concerning Jay only being "great" because of his own hype, that's BS. Jay obviously has the skills to back it up because Wayne claims he is the greatest rapper alive too but do people buy into that? No. Why not? Because Wayne doesn't have the material or claims to back something like that up while Jay-Z does.
