I'm surprised people don't think Jay is an extrovert. He's not shy, he's just guarded with his fame. . .and very careful. There's a difference. Jay likes to party though and be out.

Jay was more interested in building a brand, Nas just wanted to drop music
But we're seeing now what Nas can do if he takes a real interest: He's a venture capital investor and movie/tv producer and owns a chain of restaurants and sneaker boutiques.

LOL @ nikkas bringing up Nas's investments like that makes him and Jay equal on the bidness tip.
Nas has never gave a fukk, or at least big enough of a fukk as Jay, about "business success" or commercial success, this is something people gotta understand about Nas' relative reticence when it comes to making big waves. He's always primarily been about the music and didn't care about all the extra shyt.

Nas is anti social
It's just to say he's been successful in business in his own right
its more pressure for someone ugly to be successful. 
Like seriously, why cant an artist be an artist? This dumb ass "business" talk is stupid on all levels.
Does anybody ever ask Lionel Richie or Bruce Springsteen Hey, I know you are rich and all, but why you not a businessman?

man stfu...
The point is why does this dumb shyt apply to rappers?
and certain ones at that. Never seen a thread on 98% of the rappers and business. It always seems to boil down to Jay, 50, Diddy and Nas. Sometimes Ross and Dr Dre.
Why no thread on Andre 3K and his lack of business sense? Or Eminem??
You STFU arbitrary threads are made on different subjects on this site everyday. If you ain't like the question keep it moving fukk nikka.

My bad, breh.Why do people even care about shyt like this?
4 paragraphs about another man's business acumen
What is proper open forum etiquette these days?
No disrespect but shouldn't the only litmus test be, discuss the shyt you like to discuss? Or nah?

Good thread topic.
It's been hit numerous times in this thread. Their "success" can't be looked at in a vacuum. It's about what they both wanted. At first glance, it may seem like Jay is more successful but it all depends on what their goals were in the first place, really.
It's always seemed like Nas was more about having a goal to be in a place where he's enjoying himself and promoting the things he wants on his terms. He's also been about minimizing the compromising of his art.
He's pretty much accomplished that. Where else could he really go?
Jay looks like he may have had a goal to be the richest person from his hood and a boss of the biggest of empires. He's well on his way but has he actually accomplished everything he's wanted?
Nas may actually be closer to his own personal goals than Jay.
