Kendrick has more to say

Andre is more creative

Push is better at rapping about dope

Waste of time. All you're gonna do is dismiss and discredit any point people try to make.

How many ppl even saying Jay-Z is the best lyricist?

He definitely had stretches where he was the best or at minimum top 2-3.

This is akin to saying prove to me Michael Jordan is the best shooter of all time.

Jay doesn't have the position he has for being the absolute best at one thing, he's just great and in spurts exceptional at A LOT of things that make for a well rounded career and yes mythology, one that is built on real feats and demonstrations.

I remember people trying to dispariage Jay for never being THEEEEE HOTTEST/BIGGEST rapper at any one given time, yet here we are, far removed from his prime, he ain't campaigning for shyt, ain't dropping albums to keep his name ringing and still topping lists.

I’ll never understand these “change my mind” threads. Ain’t nobody changing your mind. You’re not about to change your opinion from 2 or 3 verses. So why waste time posting hundreds of Jay verses. When you’ll most likely just shyt on them lol. It’s ok to have different opinions bruhs.

Make money. And the thing about that is it gave his cockiness an authenticity that most rappers don’t have. Plus he’s the metaphor king

Imo complex bars, rhyme schemes and all that other bullshyt don’t make you a dope lyricist. And even tho he can do all that. It’s his delivery and choice of words and confidence that always made him stand out. Also he’s more versatile than anybody named in the OP

Even tho I personally like Nas better. If I’m being objective I got Jay as the goat and Nas #2
