I think nas and jay-z is the 2nd biggest rivalry in rap (behind 50 and ja) even though some people dont care..and i care..why do they hate each other? i get it now why 50 and ja hates each other..isnt it because of the "shooting era?" so..who do you think is a better person/rapper? jay-z and nas..ill say jay-z i respect him alot i hate nas..so this is my decision:

jay-z/nas = jay-z
50/ja = 50

50/jay-z=50

hmmm lemme think. i saw this thing out of mtv that nas said that jay-z battle against him was this: "it was a good battle and u won jay-z" (or something like that)

Wtf.... Jay-Z and Nas' battle was one of the most weakest ever. Jay-Z was a lil' piece of shit compared to Nas during those battles. Have you heard Jay-Z's flows against Nas? I have them if you want to hear them. Nas pwned him, back then it was like comparing 2Pac to Nelly.... no comparison.

During that war and those battle's im gon' have to pick Nas.

i like jay-z cause he can go with the beat.. but nas has better lyrics.

jayz

Jay-Z all the way..

jay-z and nas used to be friends and then something happened, i saw something about it on tv...like a year ago

isn't this over already?

^^Yeah it is.... and obviously none of you really listen to Jay-Z's songs, just his beats X_X

I don't understand why people are still talking about these battles. They happened in the Mid 90's.

You people obviously don't know about the rap war going on now. I think it started out with T.I. vs Lil' Flip. Now its like 50 with Nas, not sure 'bout 50 and Game. Oh yeah 50 is still holding shit against Ja Rule. I also heard that Joe Buddens is trying to start somethign against the whole G-Unit clique

Wait... I remember Game started dissing Ja Rule underground but I think that's done with since 50 said that he doesn't need him to "destroy them." Game as of now, I recently heard that he's after Joe Buddens.

I also heard Chingy is starting somethin' with someone lol, I just forgot who.... I think it was Nelly

I heard something about D12 and Nelly? Not sure about that one, but I do know and have the song D12 made with Eminem that disses Nelly.

Something else I remember about Jay-Z... I think hes trying to start with 50, because I have a song that disses 50 X_X

Last thing I can remember as of now is Lil' Kim and Shyne... they made a song dissin' the whole west coast... I think xD

^^okay, i think something is going to start with game and 50 because at hot 97 (god, can't they just shut down and stop causing trouble? ) game was talking about nas, like he wanted to do a song with him or something, it was along the lines of that though and that got 50 upset, and he was saying stuff about game, like "it's over, he's gone"

chingy is starting with nelly because of some song nelly had, and for some reason also with ludacris. this is from mtv.com:

umm .. i think you got that wrong there .. jay z is HELLA better than 50 .. ..

Can you say ghostwritter for 50... Look at the man... Hes pecs are prolly bigger than his brain... Does he look capable of comming out with his songs from get rich or die trying? But candyshop I dunno... My Iq dropped for listening to that garbage

JayZ mos def.

Nas, no contest. Overall, Nas is a much better lyricist. You guys are only voting on popularity...

neither, but if it depended on my life, ill go with jay z

Jay-z definately.

I like both of em but I personally like JZ better.

anyone who votes Jay-Z obviously doesnt really know anything about hip-hop and probably didnt even listen to the battle tracks and their lyrics....

first off, u cant even compare Nas and Jay-Z...its like comparing Tupac to Nelly...im serious, Nas is lyrically one of the best rappers of all time...and Jay-Z was only so popular for his beats...

this is how it went down....
while the pop-rapper Jay-Z's career was at its height...he thought he was the best and that he could do anything and he wanted to be the king...so he went at Nas in "Takeover" which was a pretty good dis track, but then.....Nas came back with "Ether"....and that pretty much decided it, Nas won hands down and embarrased Jay...but he didnt want to go out quietly cuz that would embarrass him further, so he tried to take a cheap shot at Nas with "Super Ugly"...and then Jay-Z ended up embarrassing himself even more, when his own mother forced him to apologize for that song....

this is a shame...most of u dont know anything about hip-hop and then u actually consider urslef a fan??....for a hip-hop fan....its supposed to be common knowledge that Nas beat Jay-Z....im serious, their isnt even supposed a debate....Nas WON....

here is the main battle tracks lyrics....just study them for a second...
Jay-Z - Takeover
Nas - Ether
i think its pretty obvious who is lyrically superior..

sorry double post...read the one above

jay z's been around longer, but i like nas better

no....Nas has been around alot longer than Jay-Z....Nas dropped his first album Illmatic in 1994, Jay-Z dropped his first album Reasonable Doubt in 1996....

anyway, if u voted for Jay-Z, read my post above....

enver heard musch of nas but i think jayz is better

Are you f**kin joking ? I guess none of yall heard jay z vs nas . caz JAy z got owned .

Hey... thats what I said



That's what I tried telling them but they don't listen -_-

nas' lyrics are soo much better than jay-z but, they do say that jay-z won the battle

omg , have you heard the battle ? jay-z does not even stand to nas .

I prefer Jay-Z better even though I'm not much of a hip-hop fan..

um... who? anyone who knows hiphop and who actually even followed the battle knows that nas PWNED jay-z easily. it wasn't even a contest.

everyone i talk to. i personally dont know because i aint hear all their battles but, i like nas

^ are you stupid?

how about you actually listen (nas tracks) "Ether", "H to the omo", and then listen to Superugly, Takeover, and Blueprint 2.

thanks. dont be some stupid muhfucker who cant make their own opinions... and jason you look like a faggot.... and how can you say 50 > jayz.. SMH

nas > jayz

Ditto .

Seriously, why do you people let other people's opinions define your own? Make up your own mind... stop following the crowd or believing what other people tell you. You have your own ears and your own mind, use them.

jay-z cause he made a cd with linking park

OH SHIT!!!!! GREAT ANSWER!!!!!!!




f**king dumbass

WTF?!?! That CD makes no f**kin' sense what-so-ever.

Its like LP is talkin' about problem and some shit like "I tried so hard" and all that shit, then suddenly Jay-Z pop's in like yeah "I got bitches and hoes" and all that shit... like WTF?!

There might be a conncetion... like Linkin Park is sayin' theyre trying all hard to get all that of what Jay-Z has but then the gay jay comes in and makes fun of them for it

^ Ahhh.... my horrid attempts of trying to entertain myself

jay-z... because i dont know. he's one of those inspiriational rappers that will always be remembered.

Jay-Z... inspirational... interesting train of thought. I don't get how literally bragging about your money, and your girls would be inspirational but ok. Not even his song 99 problems really meant anything. =/ His beats arent even that good, of course I could care less about a beat that can make your booty shake.

jayz aint a bad rapper (listen to blueprint, resonable doubt, and some black album) ... far from that.. but nas is better...

Jay-z

Jay won that battle against nas. Ether is the most overrated dis track in rap history.

hell yeah...i have to say i like nas lil better than jayz only because he raps about more serious things.....but i still have lots of love for jay-z....and as for 50 being better than jay-z, that is some serious bull, but everyone is intitled to their opinion

i have alot of respect for both of em and there skill n flow, but man how can u say 50/jay-z = 50? 50 n the whole g-unit im sorry they fake, they hood wont even let em back there LOL now thats f**kin sad

lmFao ! .. i actually laughed to that .. haha .. but exactly what i said in some other thread about that cd ... i don't really get tha whole Collision Course deal ..
