If he isn't already ahead of him, or did he just strengthen his G.O.A.T. of all time position?? because i've always gone back and forth between the two, as far as who's higher on the list, but since Nas been on this run, he's UNQUESTIONABLY better than Jay in my eyes. not to mention, i expect Life Is Good to be nothing short of 4 mics at least.

Nas recent run:

Distant Relatives album (it's what started his run imo)
Verse on Champion
Verse on Ghetto Dreams
Like Smoke
The Don
Daughters being his best single and video in a decade
Verse on Kings and Queens
Verse on Tha Carter IV Outro
Verse on This Thing Of Ours
Verse on Feel Inside
Nasty
Verse on Running
Verse on Something
Verse on Chain Glow
Verse on Triple Beam Dreams
:wow: :wow: :lawd:

I think that is it, but i might be missing something

yeah exactly to me nas always had been better than jay. Jay had his 4 years hot period between 98 and 2002 but overall nas reached lyrical heights that jay never touched

and that's been a long time since jay didn't shined on featurings. If you look closely jay never really challenged his mc skills and when he did he got chewed up by em or nas

Nas did tracks with kool g rap, big pun, rakim, rebel ins, raekwon, the game, lil wayne, fat joe, canibus, az, foxy, mega, luda, meth, dmx, killa priest, busta ect, and held is own each time

and as far as jay and nas collabs

analyze this: nas >>>>>>>>>>> jay
black republican: nas >> jay
success: nas = jay
i did it for hip hop: nas >>>>>>>>>>> jay
