I always felt that Stillmatic was the better album

Nas's flow improved considerably on there. It wasnt as smooth as Jay's, but it was an improvement nonetheless.

I dont get Nas fans. Its ok to use certain arguments to argue that Nas is better than Jay but these dudes really think that Nas has a better flow than Jay and is better at wordplay.

I only hear this sort of sh1t on the coli

nas always had a better flow it just an effortless flow, when your hear jay it's sort of like a cat stumbling but who always catches up on his feet. and nas voice >>>> jays

Listen to Nas's verse on Oochie Wally. His flow was way off on that.

I just cant take anyone seriously if they think Nas has a better flow.

And Jay's voice is better too imo

nah, again there is a difference between understanding what is said, and whether or not the bar actually says anything. the shyt adds nothing to the bar.

this is how I know the better lyricists in the game go right over naS fans heads... there is no way you can think this shyt is lyrical then go listen to Lupe... this is some kindergarten shyt

cause life ain't shyt but stress fake nikkaz and crab stunts
So I guzzle my Hennesey while pullin on mad blunts
The brutalizer, crew de-sizer, accelerator
The type of nikka who be pissin in your elevator
Somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game
Used to sport Bally's and Gazelle's with black frames
Now I'm into fat chains, sex and Tecs
Fly new chicKs and new kicks, Heine's and Beck's


more incoherent trash.... nicca talkin bout Hennessey AGAIN.

you cant seriously be that dense. how is that incoherent?

you do realize that both jay and lupe is nas stans right?
