What most of all younginz fail to realize is… Jay-Z co-signed this along time ago

Sean Carter is a known Stan/Fan of Nas’s work…. Listen to old jay albums and he stays referencing Nas.. The name of his diss song to Nas was called Takeover meaning he had to de-thrown somebody to take over the top spot

I challenge you young cats to do your hip hop research…. Nas took hip hop by storm with Illmatic

No doubt in my mind the better business man = Jay-Z
The better musician/Artist = Nas

Tupac dubbed Nas the ring leader of Attacks against him during the East Coast/West Coast BS in 1995-1996

Tupac also bit the Me and MY Girlfriend ballad from Nas I Gave you Power from the 1996 Album “It Was Written”

I liked that album

Nas is the goat… but if you put Nas Biggie and Jay-z(IN THEIR LYRICAL PRIMES) into a cipher and let them go at it

my gut instinct tells me Biggie is going to get both of em…
Nas voice is low and scratchy… Jay-Z voice comes across like an un-confident man unshore of himself

Biggie who lyrically might be a notch under Nas posses more energy and his presence is intimidating.. Listen to Who Shot Ya

@ old head
jay-z>nas musically

damn nigga you old and you sound so damn dumb.
If nas is so great then why did they ask jay and not nas 2 rock the Glastonbury Festival??nas cant hang with 500k people thats why!!

nas tried to go pop plenty of times and just couldnt do it period!!

Is it “Oochie Wally Wally” or is it “One Mic”?
Is it “Black Girl Lost” or shorty owe you for ice?

hmmmm no wonder hes still at only 8 million albums combined.

dr.dre-forgot about dre-All you niggas that said that I turned pop because the Firm flopped

dres words not mine hahaha

If super ugly is irrelevant then so is hit em up!! because their talking about the same things!FUCKING OTHER NIGGAS BITCHES!!!!

yaa i kno jay is a better business man but when i compare jay/nas its strictly lyrical content and i dunno i think at a time nas was better than jay but i still think jay is better but thas my opinion. i mean on that record ’success’ off AG…jay got him but theyre both top 3.

i feel the same way as kanye…. u can say Jesus Walks and believe it but that doesnt mean u have to start calling every gay person a faggot.

oh yea and fuck that jay-zs a bitter bullshit everybody is even yall boy nas admitted to bitting big and rae

That’s when Ghostface said it on the Purple tape
Bad Boy biting Nas album cover way(?)
BIG told me Rae was stealing my slang
And Rae told me out in Shaolin BIG would do the same thing
But I borrowed from both them niggas

so nas said he has bite niggas also so eat a dick…

nas last album sold how much??hip hop is dead sold how much?? his last platinum album was stillmatic and you can thank JAY-Z for that 1.

KANYE ONLY SAYS STUFF LIKE THAT TO RUFFLE HOVA’S FEATHERS. HE DOES THIS BECAUSE HE THINKS HOV TREATED HIM LIKE A STEP CHILD AND DOESNT GIVE HIM THE ATTENTION THAT HE WANTS. YAW HEARD KANYE’S OVER EXAGERATED CLAIMS ON “BIG BROTHER.” THERE WAS SOME TRUE RESENTMENT THERE. HE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT HOW HOV GAVE MORE ATTENTION TO BEANS EVEN THOUGH HE SOLD MORE. KANYE HAS TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS MORE BUSSINESS THAN FRIENDSHIP. KANYE DOESNT EVEN SCREAM THE ROC ANYMORE.
KANYE ALSO IMPLIES THAT HE IS LYRICALLY BETTER THAN HOV. HA AND BY THE WAY KANYE, IN THE CASE OF HOVA, BACK IN THE DAY BEFORE RING TONE SONGS AND THE INTERNET BOOTLEGGING, HOVA WAS MORE RESPECTED BY THE MASSES. I.E. MEN LIE WOMEN LIE BUT NUMBERS DONT. AND IN THE CASE OF HOV MORE PEEPS WERE FEELING JAY AND BUYING HIS MUSIC. YOUR GIFT OF GAB AND BEING ABLE TO GIVE PEEP WHAT THEY WANT ON A TRUTHFUL AND SIMPLISTIC LEVEL IS WHAT MADE HIS BRAND WHAT IT IS TODAY. SOMETIME PEEPS DON’T WANT TO HEAR INTROSPECTIVE SHIT IN THE CLUB, BUT RATHER FUN PARTY MUSIC WITH NICE BEATS. NAS COULD BARELY MAKE A CLUB BANGER. NAS TRIED TO BE TOO DEEP. NOW NAS WANTS TO BE A POLITICAL LEADER SINCE HIS FLOPING ALBUM CAME OUT. IF KANYE LIKED NAS AND THINKS THAT HE IS THE GREATEST, WHY DIDNT HE SIGN TO AND MAKE HIS DEBUT WITH NAS. KANYE IS JEL AND A HATER.

Kanye is the MAN !, he´s 100 % RIGHT about NAS the LEGEND.

Cant agree on the Souljah boy thing, but people who are calling Kanye gay because of the way he looks or moves they simply dont understand Hip Hop, now thats for real.

Nah Kanye aint a hater, that is just a ignorant statement.

@ STIZ

LOL wtf are u talkin bout?

first of all, dame signed kanye NOT jay. jay jus wanted the beats…soon as they figured out that this dude has a chance then they rode with it. kanye sold a lot more then beans…by the time he won those grammys on his 1st album kanye was in the stratosphere, he didnt need anymore help cuz everybody now knew who he was. beanie and the rest of that crew desperately (and still do) need the help cuz things just havent gone their way.

u think kanye saying nas is great is seriously gonna affect jay-z? u think a man worth close to a half a billion dollars cares wut another man says bout him anymore? LOL

kanye has bigged jay up plenty of times, now hes bigging nas up so wuts the big deal.

u guys are making something bout a whole lotta nothing.

40.
OLA wrote on August 6th, 2008 at 1:50 pm

as far as soulja boy i do agree to a certain extent….a lotta niggas try and copy jay-z and say “ahh man i NEVER write down my lyrics and im soooo lyrical” and they usually SUCK (insert most southern artists here). LOTTA these niggas need to copy nas and snoop and start writing sum lyrics down and think bout WTF they are actually writing.

kanye i respect ur opinion bro but i honestly feel after i listen to a soulja boy record i think my IQ drops LOL. i looked him up on wikipedia and found out that he failed the 9th grade TWICE before he thought bout music. its a great thing this music thing popped off or i dunno wut he’d be doin now. the thing is i like many already kno hes on borrowed time and this fade will blow over.

Verse One: Nas

Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold
I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe
When I’m deceased, by then the beast arise like yeast
to conquer peace leaving savages to roam in the streets
Live on the run, police paying me to give in my gun
Trick my Wisdom, with the system that imprisoned my son
Smoke a gold leaf I hold heat, nonchalantly
I’m grungy, but things I do is real it never haunts me
while, funny style niggaz roll in the pile
Rooster heads profile on a bus to Riker’s Isle
Holdin weed inside they pussy with they minds on the
pretty things in life, props is a true thug’s wife
It’s like a cycle, niggaz come home, some’ll go in
Do a bullet, come back, do the same shit again
From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable
Guns salute life, rapidly, that’s the ritual

Who the fuk said Nas try to be deep

Nas is a lyrical monster!!….Jay Z can Make hits records and give that lyrical content wit hidden Gems in it plus its coming from a realistic point of view…..He crossover to pop culture brought em lot closer to the block where they pop toaster rivalrys crouch over ect…….so at the end of the day ima say JIGGA is the Greatest…..and as far as diss records go it goes like this
Nas - Ether
2pac- hit em up
Canibus - second round knock out
Jay Z - takeover
Beanie Sigel - diss to Jada ( he went in on him)
After that 2001 I think its been dead as far as battles but there def sum memoral moments…..and p.s….jay Z bought out hot 97 and let his crew come off and niggaz wasn’t even hip to these niggaz yet so he let them eat but he can’t force them there cake!!!

Kanye didn’t mention jay name not once ,non at all in this video.so all the people that brought jay up in yall post must have a problem with what kanye said about nas being the best.

why would jay have a problem with kanye saying nas is the best jay don’t need no one to co-sign his spot in the game.he don’t need no body saying he’s the best .jay ’s work speaks for him…and
nas is a legend and he should get honored for what he’s done .

just because nas is a legend don’t mean yall have to sit up here and disrespect jay or feel when one of jay’s artist bigs nas up that it’s a sign of disrespect . yall have to grow up for’real

JAY ISN'T wrote on August 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm

The Goat.. I came to this realizaion after he put out KC in 2006

- 1, his inability to expand his lyrical content. you got a deep joint or something different from him here or there but usually Jay has found a way to say the same shit over and over again on different beats… I’m a Hustler, I Came from The Gutter, Its The Roc.. Money, Cash, Hoes, I’m fatherless.. I’m A CEO.. When he went left on KC he exposed himself for what he truly is.. just a great lyricist/MC.. nothing more nothing less

- 2, Nas unlike his former rival turned friend has showed growth throughout his long career.. This is almost his gift and his curse.. His Genesis is New York Street Kid.. UNDERGROUND Heir to Rakim.. His longevity and growth over the times has made it hard not to argue his run for GOAT..

Nas influenced Jay-Z & Biggie Smalls. and like a poster said earlier when you look at a Nas Clone compared to a Jay clone the nas clone not only his lyrical but contains more substance than the jay clone For Exp Lupe & Lil Wayne

#36 WRONG… Big Brother said he understood by the end of the song.. the first part was a reflection on the past (the Fade to Black concert was awhile ago now)… also he said he admired Jay (if you admire someone you should go on and tell him…) and i think you ain’t been to the Glow in the Dark tour b/c the Diamonds was UP!!!

@ Everybody else
1- He don’t have to address Jim Jones by name b/c he’s bigger than that… and i’ve been saying this for a minute… BEEF is so played out!!!!! it obviously don’t help sales either (ie- TOS)…
2- He’s gonna be called gay b/c he doesn’t use the word “f@ggot” the same way that people referred to whites as “n!gger lovers” b/c they didn’t disrespect blacks…
3- He’s not saying Soulja Boy is the best ever, he’s saying rap needs to make it back to the top of the charts like it was in the late 90’s (Rock fans were pissed) so stop yelling like SB killed hip hop…
4- All you Nas haters are prolly the same ones saying Soulja Boy killed hip hop and no one would be saying “Hip Hop is Dead” or referencing it w/o Esco so….

Think before you speak!!!

HONESTLY…
Jay reeeeeally is just as good if not better than all these niggas. Hell yea Nas is the shit, but honestly, where is the consistency? Hell yea, ether is HARD, but wheres the real facts? He said hollow shit like “Dick Sucking Lips” and whatnot, and made fun of the origin of the name Rocafella.
Do you niggas know who the Rokerfellers are? They had $$$ and helped found and FUND USA, central bank and such. Real Shit.
I dont give a fuck, I have a hard time deciding who the “nicest on the MIC devices” is, but i think it goes a lil like this
Rakim
Jay
Kool G Rap
Nas
Biggie
Raekwon
3 Staxx
Canibus

Makes you wonder where Busta is in all this. He’s GREAT and all, but he reeeally doesnt cut it people. I know after i say that, niggas gonna be mad at this. I like LLOYD BANKS wordplay is phenomenal as well. I need to see 50 let that nigga flyyy and do his thing. He’s being surpressed to not exceed the talent of his “Boss”.

by the way, im glad no one stated LL is on anyones list. THAT NIGGA IS TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH.

@#42 BK ,#55, AND OLA
THE FIRST SINGLE OFF OF THAT QB ALBUM WAS NAS’ AND IT DID NOT WORK IN THE CLUB. OOCHIE WALLY WASN’T EVEN NAS’ SONG. I AM A DJ AND I WAS PLAYING THE ORIGINAL SONG FIRST. IT WAS ADDED ON RADIO, THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW NAS’ HOPS ON THE REMIX. AND HE DID SHORTY YOU OWE ME WHICH WAS ALSO A CLUB BANGER, BUT THAT GOES AGAINST THE SUPPOSEDLY ANTI MASOGYNISTIC NAS WHO CONTRADICT HIMSELF QUITE OFTEN. THE REST OF HIS ATTEMPTS LIKE”HATE ME NOW” AND OTHERS WERE SUB PAR. MY DJ BOOTH IS BALCONY LIKE AND I CAN C THE ENTIRE CROWD AND WHICH SONGS THEY SLOW DOWN FOR AND GET BORED BY AND NAS HAS ALWAYS SLOWED MY CROWD DOWN. I USED TO BE A NAS OVER JAY FAN BUT TIES CHANGE.

OLA
JAY Z OR DAME DASH SIGNING HIM FOR BEATS WHATS THE DIFFERENCE. HE WAS STIL SIGNED TO HOVAS LABEL. AND WHEN THE SPLIT CAME HE STAYED WITH HOVA AND DIDNT GO WITH DAME. THE ONLY PERSON AT THAT TIME SELLING RECORDS WAS JAY, SO ROCAFELLA WAS JAY WITH SOME OTHER ARTIST WITH SUB PAR SALES. MANNY FRESH IS SIGNED TO DEF JAM FOR BEATS BUT HE CAN RAP ON OTHER LABELS.

#55
COMPARE NAS’ AND JAYS CLONES.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THOSE DUDES(JAY Z CLONES) DONT CARE WHAT YOU BLOG CRITICS SAY, AS LONG AS MAINSTREEM AMERICA BUYS THEIR MUSIC.
TRUTHFULLY I WANNA RYHME LIKE COMMON SENSE BUT I DID 5 MIL AND I AINT BEEN RYHMING LIKE COMMON SENSE.
OK WAYNE IS A HOVA CLONE WHO HAS SOLD MORE RECORDS THAN LUPE AND ALL OF THE NAS CLONES PUT TOGETHER. ALL OF THE HOVA CLONES HAVE SOLD MORE RECORD THAN THE NAS CLONES.
STOP SAY THAT HIP HOP IS ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS.
GO BACK TO DJ KOOL HURK, SKOP FOWARD TO RAPPERS DELIGHT, THEN TO RUN DMC, WHERE WAS THE CONSCIOUSNESS IN THOSE SONGS? HIP HOP DID NOT START OUT INTROSPECTIVE. IT STARTED IN THE PARKS AND PLAYGROUND AND THE MCS WOULD BRAG ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE OR BUSS ON EACH OTHER.
LUPE AND ALL OF THE NAS CLONES ARE FAKE ASS WANNA BE PROPHETS. THEY DONT REALLY CARE, THEY WANT BENTLYS AND GUCCI. IF THE NAS CLONES REALLY CARED THEY WOULD BE PART OF THE TOURCH PASSING. I.E. BECOMING THE NEW GENERATION JESSIE JACKSON, AL SHARPTON, OR MLK. SINCE THOSE OLD GUYS DONT REALLY UNDERSTAND OUR GENERATION, ONE OF THOSE NAS CLONES NEED TO BE PART OF THE NEW GENERATION MOVEMENT. BUT NAW THEY WONT CAUSE THEY ARE FAKE.

#62 FOR REAL
I AM NOT A NAS HATER, HOWEVER HOVA IS BETTER. AND NO I DON’T THINK THAT SOULJA BOY KILLED HIP HOP. LISTEN TO KRS 1. HE SAID, “RAP IS SOMETHING YOU DO AND HIP HOP IS SOMETHING YOU LIVE.” SO BASICALLY IF YOU ARE A REAL DRUG DEALER (NOT A FAKE ONE LIKE THEY ARE SAYING BOUT ROSS) AND THAT’S YOUR LIFE STYLE THAT’S YOUR HIP HOP AS REFLECTED IN YOUR RAPS. IF YOU TRICK HOES THATS UR LIFE STYLE HENCE YOUR HIP HOP ERGO THE SONGS BY LUKE. IF U A 16 YEAR OLD CHILD, WHAT U GO THRU IS UR HIP HOP ERGO SOULJA BOY. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND HAVE DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL, SES, LIFESTYLES AND STRUGGLES, SO THIS IS REFLECTED IN OUR MUSIC. U CAN NEVER UN VALIDATE SOMEONE’S REAL LIFESTYLE. LOOK AT THE GREAT SOUL AND OTHER LEGENDS THAT DID HEROIN AND OTHER DRUGS WHEN THEY WROTE AND PERFORMED MUSIC. AND EVEN A RICH BLACK MAN HAS STRUGGLES AND HE CAN TELL US BOUT IT. CAUSE WHITE AMERICA WIL CHOP DOWN NEW MONEY ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A BLACK HIP HOPPER.

@BK All Day

Thanks finnally someone got it right.

When Illmatic came out in 94, no one but Nas had that flow , and everybody was studying.

Nas is a LEGEND just for that reason.

In my book.

1) Scarface.

2) 2pac.

3 Nas.

4 Z-ro.

5 Jay Z

6 Lil´Wayne. ( Yes I wrote that guys´name - I love listening to his crazy lyrics )

7 Kanye West.

8 Chammilionaire.

9 Lupe Fiasco.

Peace.

So many people upset that Kanye gives Nas his respect! Why does it bother so many people that Nas is being praised! Makes you wonder why people take being a fan of another artist to serious! You should not have to try so hard to discredit someone’s opinion about Nas! Why can’t Nas be considered the best? What is so fake about wanting to live well? People need to grow up and do the things that they try and discredit Nas and his Clones for not doing? Or are you a walking contradiction your damn self! Guess what people are allowed to have contradictions!!! WE ARE ALL HUMAN!!

Until this day I never gave much thought to the Nas clones but there are much nicer than Jay’s clones in an artistic way

SMH @ Fabolous being 8 years into his career and he still can’t seem to put a full album together and the kid Lupe has dropped 2 bombs in 3 years

kanyes opinion holds know weight.. who does he think he is?he has only been in the game 5years, and he is trying to change hip hop. get the fuck out of there

Ed wrote on August 6th, 2008 at 6:47 pm

Who does Kanye West think he is ?

Well he is only one of Hip Hop´s most influential producer and a succesfull artist with lots of classics under his belt.

So yes his opinion counts, but what is he saying that is so wrong in your ears ????

By the way, 2pac was “only” in the game for 5 years and his legacy is indeniable and indisputable, .

Peace.

Hey man Kanye got it right open up ya fuckin’ mind (he speaking he truth) and artists have a right to be artists! meaning they can create what they want! for instance! I think Jim jones is a piece of shit! musically and even though I don’t know him! “ever thing he has been sayin in interviews- has been against other folks accoplishments! which makes me believe he is a hater! and irrevent to hip-hop and irrevant to life as we know it! but there are some people that like him– musically or whateva —good for them!

@BK
SO NAS DIDNT STUDY RAKIM’S FLOW? I HEARD HIM SAY IT OUT HIS OWN MOUTH AND WHAT ABOUT KRS1? SO WHAT NAS TOOK 50 ON TOUR. 50 WAS NOT ON THAT BRAVEHEART ALBUM. ACCORDING TO 50 HE WAS NOT INFLUENCED BY NAS, HE JUST WANTED TO GET ON AND THEY WERE BOTH SIGNED TO COLUMBIA.
I WAS BORN IN 80 AND I LIVED THRU THIS SHIT.
I LIVE IN PHILLY AND ACCORDING TO GILLY DA KID, HE GAVE LIL WAYNE HIS SWAGGER AND WROTE THE CARTER 1. YET GILLY IS NOT MORE FAMOUS OR HAVE MORE MONEY THAN THE DUDE THAT HE GAVE SWAGGER TO. LIFE IMITATES ART. SCIENTIST STUDY OTHER SCIENTIST MISTAKES AND MAKE SHITE BETTER. WAYNE TOOK GILLY, BIG, PAC, AND JAY’S SWAGGER AND FLOWS AND MADE A MUTI PLATINUM ALBUM. IF YOU WANT TO SAY THAT JAY WAS STUDYING NAS WHO WAS STUDYING RAKIM. WHATEVER. JAY WAS STUDYING BIG DADY KANE. LISTEN TO JAYS FLOWS. HE HAS WAY MORE FLOWS THAN NAS. HE TOUCHES SUBJECTS THAT NAS WILL NEVER TOUCH. AND BY THE WAY JAY WON THE ETHER BATTLE.
NAS KICKED HIS LITTLE LIES WHILE HOV KICKED REAL FACTS.
ETHER WAS ABOUT JOKES EVEN KRS 1 SAID THAT HOV WON. SUPER UGULY HIT NAS HARD. AND THEN CARMEN COMES OUT WITH A BOOK ADMITTING THAT SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HOVA AND THAT HE HAS A MUCH LARGER PENIS AND THE SAME ABOUT ALLEN IVERSON. THEN JAY SONS HIM EVEN MORE BY BECOMING HIS BOSS AT DEF JAM AND SIGNING HIM. AND THE REALEST PART OF THAT BEEF WAS WHEN HOV MADE THE VIDEO FOR DEAD PRESIDENTS BACK IN THE DAY AND HE INVITED NAS TO THE VIDEO SET SO HE COULD DO THE HOOK ON THE VIDEO AND NAS DIDNT SHOW UP CAUSE HE WAS JEL. WELL AFTER HOV SONNED HIM BY SIGNING HIM, HE BROUGHT NAS ON STAGE AND NAS DID THE HOOK.

How can anyone say Ether> Hit Em Up? Pac called out any nicca in NY who wanted to bring it. He called out names. Threatened kids, disrespected their wives, made fun of their sicknesses and not one poosy azz rapper from NY said shyt back. Not one song. Not one word. They were scared shytless. Matter fact, the only thing that saved Big’s legacy is that he died because after Hit Em Up dropped, nobody even wanted to listen to his fat azz no more. People who’s named got called out on hit em up(Biggie, Lil Cease,Puffy, Mobb Deep, ChinoXl. Then afta the greatest died, they all wanna battle and fight each other. Hoez!

First of all to #38 and anyone else who may be confused and did not get the point. Kanye is just saying,learn to except something that is different. you don’t have to listen to any music that you dont like or even buy it, but just open your minds to understand that everyone is different and unique in their own way. everything is not all about guns, drugs, and a female, and anyone who glorifies a rapper that constantly talks about just those things are ignorant and its no surprise that for most people, thats all they want to hear because thier brains can only go and expand but so far. It’s also the same thing that he was trying to say about people attacking his character. because his jeans and shirts actaully fit him and their not hanging half off his ass with a 3x tee shirt it dosn’t mean that he’s gay. some of yall are some crazy muthafuckers to even think that way and all it shows is how messed up alot of people mentality is. how you a 100lbs and wearing 38 jeans. ” Be yourself and never let someone dictate to you what you should wear and how you should look”, because if you do you’ll never come into your own and you’ll always be doing things to please other people when it’s really about you. don’t be afraid to do you and learn to embrace instead of put down when you see something different. just about everyone on here is singing the same tune and that’s because most of us put ourselves in a box and say this is all we are and the others are just punks and afraid to be themselves, worrying about what someone else thinks.

and o yea , Nas sells 2 records , you have to have talent as well as move units. Saying a whole bunch of educated stuff and selling 2 records doesnt make u nice. Rakim moved units, all the greats got they point across and still sold records. Saying 2 cool educated words doesnt make u a great. Nas is a dope Mc, but Kanye is A Fag and He bitches like 1 to. All this complaining in hip hop, who cares just make the music
