I'm sorry but Jay Z will lose in a versuz againt Nas

[Preach Jackson]

Ight it's a Verzuz battle why is Black Zombies, Undying Love..nevermind this is thecoli

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Why are you guys playing Nas like he's some dusty, underground backpacker that made songs that only white metalheads who hate rap for the most part like?

Is he not a successful artist that sold millions of records? Do people not know what "N.Y. State of Mind" or "If I Ruled the World" or "Made You Look" is?

Also at the peak of hip hop, 1994-2002.. Nas was going double/triple platinum, in an era with the likes of Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z, Wu Tang, Snoop, Dre, Outkast etc.

Nikkas treatin Nas like he's Joe Budden

Nas has more hip hop classics than Jay Z, thats a fact

Hov has more commercially friendly pop songs

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Jay’s hits have aged poorly

Nas has 7 songs on Illmatic that Hov is not touching

hits aint winning against Nasir brehs

Nas Is Like > Big Pimpin'

N.Y. State of Mind Pt. II > Hard Knock Life

2nd Childhood > Song Cry

Made You Look > 99 Problems

No he won’t

And Nas is my favorite rapper.

But Jay would win...For the same reasons Jay would lose to Wayne or Drake...

It’s all about who has the most radio hits. In particular the most songs that made you want to dance. Or the song that was playing that night in the club when you bagged the baddest bytch.

These Verzuz aint about radio hits? have yall been paying attention?

Drop the 20 songs from Hov.

 

[Pop123]

If it happens, like a legit one, lets bet. I'm willing to bet whatever number you want, btw. Nas will lose...and that's by far, not even close, my favorite rapper ever

 

[mobbinfms]

I agree with all of those. All hits don’t hold up. Nelly showed us that.

 

[mobbinfms]

That's basically what Verzuz is about...

Majority of the viewers wouldn't know 2nd Childhood or NY State of Mind Pt II so Song Cry and Hard Knock Life wins. Big Pimpin and 99 Problems are much bigger songs than whats presented so Jay wins off the strength.

99 Problems wasn’t much bigger than Made You Look

 

[Cladyclad]

99 Problems wasn’t much bigger than Made You Look

 

[mobbinfms]

NY State of mind 2 over hard knock life

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

Nah Nas ain't versatile enough, most his songs fit in the same box

Jay got a lot of different types of records that are really good

 

[mobbinfms]

Every artist on Verzuz has played nothing but hits. Preemo and RZA's live was the exception--only the 30+ crowd filled it. It also topped below 200k views which means less eyes on it; Jay and Nas would probably quadruple the amount of views and lessen the age range of viewers as they remained relevant through the 2000s.

Verzuz isn't the place for a battle like the Hov and Nasir stans want.

There was about 800k people watching the Premier RZA battle. But your post is really an indictment on how watered down hip hop became. Basically as we got into the late 90s quality wasn’t as important as marketing and promotion. Rap was real through 96 then it slowly became watered down to where rappers are singers nowadays and nobody wants to even acknowledge that bullshyt isn’t hip hop. Some real the emperors got no clothes shyt
