Nas Vs Jayz

A lot of babies around here trying to say stuffs bout Hip-Hop when they know so little bout it. How can someone compare "Ready to Die" with "Illmatic" lyrically? How do i explain your state of mind? You might get shot for saying that You know?Biggie borrowed ideas from Illmatic before dropping his album.

One person said opinion is an asshole,everybody's got one but You don't know some people are just faggots and u know the rest.

If Nas did not reveal it in "Last Real Nigga Alive" no one woulda guessed right.Nas is a lyrical genius and to think he did "Halftime" as a teenager  

Please stop this rubbish, we all know who Nas is better than



What talent? Freestyle? or what other talent?




 

Apart from freestyle, he had the abilty to flow non-stop
It's no secret that Nas sometimes finds it hard to even control his breath
He sumtimes goes uneven in his lines

B.I.G was different, he could make a song out of anything
He made songs that could sell to both sides of the market, not just rapheads

In an interview, Nas said, Hiphop is dead because rappers are not being listened to.
Just imagine a Biggie with Nas' lyrics

@ Chiogo

If i tell You those child molesters ain't sick,i've got my opinion right? and u see how my opinion shows i'm as f**ked as a faggot's ass If i tell You Bin Laden is right to blow up the towers,It's my opinion right but You see where that puts me and You heard what the Bible say bout Atheist?It was someone's opinion too! I wasn't dissing You,i was just trying to make You understand why some opinions are better kept inside. When i said "You cud get shot",You shoulda asked what i mean! i was speaking literally and now i know why u don't understand Nas.

I know people who know bout Hip-Hop here and it's very easy to tell if someone's state of mind is close to or far from Hip-Hop just from what they type here.

@ Eldee
You're so right.I admire him for same talents too!

@ Hannibal
You shoulda just ask me to explain.

"Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, on Raekwon's 1995 debut "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx", , criticized the cover of The Notorious B.I.G's Ready to Die (released a few months after Illmatic) for featuring a picture of a baby with an afro, implying that his cover had stolen the idea from Nas."

You see! Go listen to "Last Real Nigga Allive"

O M G !!!

I thought this ish was over!!!

I'm really surprised at so many of the things I'm hearing here. Look, let me start by saying I'll never even lay claim to all those "I'm a rap-head, Been listening to rap from my mama's womb" and bla bla bla like that. You don't even need all that to be a good rap fan and critic. Just LISTEN to Rap Music. I don't care if you were born in the 40s, 50s, 60s - 2000s. Just play the darn rap songs (from rappers of every era and age) and LISTEN with your mind and ears wide open. Then you'll know who's good and who's not.

@HANNIBAL
YOU ARE DA MAN! Reading through the whole thread, you're the only guy who just types everything on my mind word for word!!! You see, Nas V. Gay-Z is a topic that didn't even require any second thoughts or a millisecond for me to answer. NAS all the way!!! I can't even see the point(s) of comparison at all. Gosh, it's annoying

But Hannibal, Tupac V. Biggie has always been a very hard one for me. A lot of times I've sat down for days listening to both cats over and over again, trying to compare. But just when I thought had the winner, everything just comes down again like a pack of cards. And that's the only point at which I tend to disagree with you. You can't say Biggie was a greater rapper than Pac. Between you and me, I just can't give it to either. And the reasons ain't far-fetched.

Biggie was a god of flows, delivery, metaphors, rhymes, story-telling/emceeing, imagery. He was the god of the flip and hip side of rap,

2pac was the god of the lyrics, the deep side of rap. He makes you think, reflect, cry,  He was soul-touching with his style.

Both were kings in their style. And I just can't say that either was a greater/better rapper than the other. Only thing was that a friend of mine once said Biggie was the best rapper ever while Tupac was the greatest rapper ever,  he meant the former was really skilled at the art of rap while the latter achieved a high level of greatness by the things he rapped about.

For me, I just can't decide.

@all
Biggie and Nas?!!!!!

Please don't even start another blasphemy!!! Biggie eats Nas raw - and I mean even without Nas' deep lyrical content. YES. I won't dwell on this. It's for another day,

@bgees and kaydee
All those disrespectful words to Biggie? I'm not sure you have listened well to him. Someone said he borrowed from Nas? Someone else said his death was what made him big??? Don't even go searching for some of his underground material. Just listen to Life After Death again please. Again, I won't say much here. Just like Hannibal, that album is in my top three.

@doyin
You amaze me the most here. You shouldn't even talk when peops are talking about rap. Your babblings with Hannibal were like between a professor and a meat seller on what a school looks like. I can't even begin to quote or refer to some of the most sacrilegious things I ever heard in my life that you said on this thread. Well, so much for freedom of expression,

I'm out.

From Kaydee

Ok, you got me on that one. I can't even explain myself out of this but everybody knows child molestattion, genocide, etc are bad. But choice of music(see how I put that in bold) is based on one's opinion really(how many times do I gotta say that? Lol). To me, I don't think jigga is better than Nas but I also don't think Nas is better. Let's just say am in d same situation as Bamsyle who can't decide who's better between pac and biggie. I think 2pac is(was) better tho, that was easy.  . I don't understand Nas?? What's there not to understand? He's one of my favorite rappers so is jigga. I just find it hard when it comes to people who I feel the same way about. Although he dissed the hell out of jay in 'ether', it's one of my favorite songs, I listen to that shit almost everyday. And I don't understand him? hope u get my point, am done arguing,lolz.

@Hannibal
50Cent the future of rap? That future must be bleak indeed he is not even the present frankly if that dude doesnt get shot 18 times i don't see what else he has to write about he has simply lost the plan matter of fact he lost it in the Massacre that was a pop album

First you say we should forget Ether, we should for get Renegade, we should forget hin headlining at Gastonbury
Please tell us what you want us to remember abeg And don't tell me 'How can yo upgrade Number One'

Jay-Z better than B.I.G??  Try Mikel Obi is better than Maradona.
Cam Jigga touch BIG's vocabulary?? I don't think anyone in the rap game can do that . .
This is not even an argument.

'Running' to prove who was better between Pac n Big??
My dayz. . . . .Go n listen to 'Lets get it on' 1994 remix featuring 2pac, Biggie, Grand Puba and Heavy D.
That was the first BIGGIE lyrics on any record. . . . Biggie chewed Pac and spewed out his bones.

The 2 greatest rappers ever are 2pac and Biggie. . . . .even for me, they are neck on neck. . .
I will be the first to confess some of 2pac's works were breath-taking. . . .Makaveli's 7 Day Theory and Still I Rise are top draw.
After those 2 LEGENDS comes Eminem. . . . . . then Nas and Jigga man.

@ Eldee

That's one of my fav tracks!

@ Hannibal

Man! You're just too anxious to type nothing.Read before You type and don't just look up words that interest you.

@ Eldee,

It's easy to overlook Eminem because he is WHITE. . . .
Blimey. . . .When u look beyond his whiteness and feel his lyrics, u would know that boy can flow!!!!
There's no MC alive that can battle the white-boy on his day. . . . . . He is lethal.
Before i go any further. . . . .Go and get "Devil's Night" album with D12.

@ Kaydee,

You don't know too much about Rap music.
It will be futile to start dragging issues with you. . . . .
You actually think "Running" was the best way to determine who was the best between Big n Pac. . .
Thats a huge error. . . . . .Get back to me when u have something tangible to spew.


@ Onyinye2,

I like your list but what in the name of Zeus is Lupe Fiasco doing there and u have no Fiddy or Marshal Mathers!!!
That list is criminal.
Please make anutha one before i start laughing.

Forget how white he is jare
Tell me which of his albums can touch 'It Was Written'
Why go far, try 'NY State of Mind' Vs 'White America'
I feel so ashamed for Nas self

My dayz . . . abeg, remind me, what's the next Pac album he'll destroy?

@ Eldee,

There's no album from any Rapper(apart from BIG n PAC) that can touch Marshal Mathers LP.
Go and listen to that album again and feel the lyrics in it. . .
Whiteboy was outstanding and believe u me. . . .That ALBUM is golden.

@ Onyinye2,

Lupe Fiasco??
Puhleeeeeeeeeeeaze, that guy's rhymes are nursery.

Like Kick n Push?? Daydreamin?? Superstar??
Puhleeeeeeeeaze, that guy is comical.

You reckon??
I believe 'brain damage', 'rock bottom', 'criminal' and 'till i collapse' from Em are all better than those.
What are u really after?? Lyrics or Rhymes or Beats.

I just watch the metaphors(putting em in unlikely contexts), the lyrics and the rhymes. . . .
Eminem's songs are cheeky and his verbosity in songs makes him ma #1 candidate.
He says things u cannot hear anywhere else. . . .

Check this. . . .

My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That'll stab you in the head
whether you're a fag or lez
Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
Pants or dress - hate fags? The answer's "yes"
Homophobic? Nah, you're just heterophobic
Staring at my jeans, watching my genitals bulging (Ooh!)
That's my motherfucking balls, you'D better let go of em
They belong in my scrotum, you'll never get hold of em

He is only trying to be a good father. . . . .
Trying to give his daughter what he never had. . . .I have got no problems with that.
All i am saying his that corny white boy makes ma day the way he spins lyrics around.
