I disagree. At most I'll say it's even, but 96/97 Jay is up there with 96 Nas as the best rapper I've ever heard in my life.
Styles P Says That Jay-Z Never Reached The Level Of Lyricism Of The Notorious B.I.G.

this, then we got nikkas in here derailing the thread saying nas impacted the culture recently because they heard spicy (a song that never charted) once during the nba playoffs
It charted #96 on Hot 100
If Drake didn’t die after Take Care, Kendrick and Cole would never have been this successful...oh, wait
. Yes, the deaths of the two biggest acts in the genre obviously had an effect. But whatever that effect is/was is not quantifiable and I only see that effect ever used towards one person. There are so many more pressing things that I'd theorize over if those two were alive as opposed to the possible success or lack thereof of another rapper. Imagine busting your ass going on three decades and your success is merely because a nikka died
I gotta disagree. I’ve always thought Jay was lyrically better than Biggie (as in extremely slightly, arguably better). On the flip side, if someone asked me an example of someone who was BORN to rap, I’m saying Nas or Biggie every time. Those two hit the highest peaks of any rappers ever in my opinion.
Jay Z aint a Top 10 lyricist.
He makes good music tho

It is what it is though. We can’t assume what he would or wouldn’t have made. Biggie could have completely fallen off after seeing major success, he wouldn’t rushed been the first rapper to do so. We got no clue what would have came later.
If u comparing big first two albums to jay first 2 albums when Big was alived, Biggie clearly won this argument
And we would never know if pac and big was still alive if a lot of artist would actually be successful as they are now or was
However Jay carry the torch well

I'm confused with what ur saying. This aint no knock against Jay. But it's facts the entire game changed after Pac and Biggie's deaths there's literally no disputing it.If Drake didn’t die after Take Care, Kendrick and Cole would never have been this successful...oh, wait

And since we have no clue of what could have came later, like I said, mentioning Biggies name in a comparison for decades of range doesn't make sense when Biggie only had 3 years.
He also had one of the dopest voices and deliveries ever too.

Much as I Love Biggie, he didnt even have the best verse in the song. Bizzy and Krayzie got him.
