Y is it hard to accept that these guys are nothing alike and never will be. Promotion has a lot to do with that. When Jay was going around saying he was the best rapper most people believed it. Why? Because if a person says something enough people start to believe it. When Nas came in the game he proly just wanted to make an album get some bread and fukk some groupies. When Jay got in the game he proly wanted to break records and get all the money. (Which ended up happening anyway) But the biggest difference and i hate to say it, is Nas is somewhat lazy. U don't see him all on the radio and giving interviews like Jay and other rappers. He rarely makes apperances at award shows and whatnot. I believe he just wants to be judged by the music. Nothing more nothing less.
The difference between Nas and Jay-Z..........

What are you going on about buddy???
Jayz is too good to give peasants like us interviews. Unless your name is Oprah you have just as good a chance of scoring an interview with bill gates. If its not the Grammys or a net game you won't see him.
Meanwhile Nas has been on a promo run with LIG, opening up about his personal life. Before that he took us on a journey with the marley family in a series of documentrerys.
Why do I even post here, I swear some of you make up stuff as you go along. Nas is lazy but jayz records his albums in 2 weeks in one take then goes on vacation a few years in France.

Its only natural for the losing team to wanna move on and be 'off that'.
One guy is headling major music festivals and is worth half a billion dollars, the other guy is struggling to sell 200k records, and cant afford child support payments.

Nas just started promoting his albums recently. Could it be because he needed it to be succesful as it could be so he could pay off his debts. And maybe Jay don't give as much interviews as he used to, but he used to be all over BET and MTV and the radio when a new album dropped. Now his name sells the records for him. U say we don't see him but he was at The BET Awards and i think he performed last year at the HIp Hop awards. And any real fan of NAs will tell u that he's always been considered somewhat lazy. Taking forever between projects and not releasing mixtapes to hold us over. Some call it perfecting the craft, i call it lazy. And i'm the biggest Nas fan u will find.

You're really that dumb....huh?What are you talking about "Oprah", the year he did Oprah he did Big Boy, Funk Flex, Cypha and Rosenbergs podcast, Angie Ma mad people all over the world. Both him and Kanye skipped the interviews for Watch The Throne, jay swung by Hot97 as usual and gave "us" a 5-10 minute interview that was it. It has nothing to do with being lazy, they weren't feeling like promoting their album.What are you going on about buddy???

Do you think they released WTT without a video, with a single with no hook and no interviews cause they were lazy? They did it cause they could.
this comment basically sums up what the original poster was trying to explain.

nas and jay have an equally poor discography; strong start with mediocre follow-up, save maybe two exceptions. jay-z doesn't have the strongest ear for beats.
