Tragedy is not better than Cormega,you sound foolish and light headed.
Havoc as a producer and a MC together I will give you,but just as far as bars go,he isn't better than Mega either.

There's a flossy big time drug dealer steez that Harlem dudes used to emit. The biggest dealers were uptown. Brooklyn dudes were grimy and not on that. Jay came off like he was from Uptown. If he never said he was from Brooklyn you'd think he was from Harlem.
People forget Jigga was a more older and more mature that the best young ones at the time
By age, Jigga was of Special Ed generation and even Special Ed is 3 years younger

The summer of 96 belonged to Nas. There were people who thought Jay was dope because of can't knock the hustle but there was no crazy demand for reasonable doubt. That was the album your homeboy told the crew he bought and loved trying to convince you guys to check it out and you finally did and realized that it was kind of dope.
That's why on where I'm from when he said people argue about who's the best MC Biggie,him, or Nas everyone had the

This was the hottest thing in the summer of 96.
Prodigy was there,Raekwon was there, Buckshot was still there barely. The point is Jay was not. People only took notice of Jay because he had top tier features for a guy with zero hype around him
