Is it fair to say that Nas is a better writer than Jay-z but Jay-z is a better rapper than Nas?

I Am >>>> Vol 3. HHID>>>>> Kingdom Come. Streets Disciple = BP2. Untitled was dope. Nasir wasn't good. Nastradamus better than people admit. Underwhelming tho. So that's 2 duds. 3 tops.

I would agree with all of these except I Am and Untitled. I Am has some classic Nas songs on it. Several of them. The first 6-7 songs range from dope to classic, then it falls apart with "Nas Is Like" and "Undying Love" being the only gems in the latter half of the album.

Untitled has:

Queens Get The Money
You Can't Stop Us
Breathe
Fried Chicken
America
Testify
N.I.G.G.E.R
Untitled
Ya'll My nikkas
We're Not Alone

Nothing on that album is particularly bad. I even like "Hero" and "We Make The World Go Round", but understand why people don't like them.

my critieria for a good album is "can i run it with minimal skips". cant do that with i am. at all. and untitled just doesn't connect with me idk ima give it another spin when i do cardio tonight.

Ether is the more important song than Big Pimpin. The Hook is DEF better. Made U Look is a better song than both. All around. Add I Can as well. More catchy than all of em. Whole generation of kids was graduating to that shyt. And picking beats and hooks are more similar than u think. Being that alotta beats come with the sample or hook already when the producer gives it to the artist.
Ether has a better hook than Big Pimpin?:wtf:

Come on breh I know you was in the clubs when that shyt came on and everybody was singing the hook word for word. Nas hook game is very underrated tho

Jay Z :huhldup:
Lil Dirk :ehh:
Nas :ahh:

Jay Z is probably the worst rapper to ever come from New York. Bars extra corny. “Imma only up BIG like he my brother”:childplease:disrespectful ass lines. Horrible flow. Kingdom Come his best album. Reasonable Doubt is like “what the hell is this:dahell:. It’sgood he a good businessman, because otherwise he would definitely still be a struggling rapper like Jaz O orone of Nas hypemen. This guy has fooled the whole world just because he married Beyoncé




Corny

Got damn you deserve a neg train for this post. All kinds of fukked up points. Jay worst NY rapper ever. Kingdom Come his best album
:heh:
