    Personally i don't think either Nas or Jay won anything...unless you completely destroy somebodies Carrier you haven't done ? and whats funnier is yall going in on this when jay & nas have been over it for quite some time

    And the other guy is Nas...




    Don't try to use the off wax sucess card.All Jay proved with all those accomplishments is you can get smashed up on wax and still be somebody if you turn into a big enuff sell out, and snake enuff of your comrades that's all.

    Again, this from a man who hasn't had an album worth buying since the black album. That came out in 03 and its 2011 if Jay don't come out with some bomb ? by this time next year he's exactly the same

    eh, I though KC was terrible but I ? with AG and BP3. Bottom line is, Empire State of Mind was played heavy up here. Old man can still sell out any arena up here faster than any other NY artist. I'm talking a high black population as well. One mans trash is another treasure. He still the king in these parts. No other living NY rapper loved like him up here.

    True, but like I said the other day. Jay turned out fine after Ether. However Ether was like a lyrical buck 50 to this face. Nothing fatal but it's scar to remind him he got cut pretty good & aint never going away. Jay helping bring Nas to Def Jam was like therapy. If he & Nas fall out he again he can say "Look ? , you may have cut me deep with Ether but I signed you underneath me, nana nana na na!"

    Thats not the point, Nas says he has been in the game since 91 based on his guest appearances, while Jay has been appearing on Jaz O songs since 88.

    maybe bcuz jay isnt going off making guest appearances, but instead going off the year he released his debut

    @jek: KC was average and BP3 was terrible, but American Gangster was dope.

    In real life, Nas won. Their beef was on wax, it wasn't about which billboard ads would be more seen, or who can get the most lucrative endorsement, or whatever...

    ...Props to Jay, and yeah Jay's has been much more successful, but since their beef was with straight music, everything else after the bolded is irrelevant.

    Even if I did agree with you. Let's say I give you AG. Is 2 albums worth a ? in 10 years that much better than what he accused Nas of having?

    No it's not. I even said that the "one hot album" line was fallacious earlier in the thread...but AG is still a dope ass album imo.

    for the record, i have researched a lot of nas' unreleased ? and how is albums were supposed to be and honestly, nas was a lot more consistant then jay in the 90s, his ? just leaked and he recorded new ? for i am and nastradamus. qb's finest had the same amount of heaters as thje dynasty. stillmatic would have ? on the blueprint had he put purple, doorags, no ideas original, nothing lasts forever, my way, black zombies, everybody's crazy and stay chiseled on there. plus, none of jay-z albums after rd were as good as his first. and volume 3 was hurtin.

    as far as nas and biggie go, nas was easily a better lyricist than biggie. biggie just had the whole package, and had it by his first album.

    The truth is Biggie wasn't good like that. His stock shot up like crazy when he was killed. Nas is/was at least 10 times better.

    Biggie>>>>>Jigga>>>>>>>Nas

    Thats all that matters

    Its been 10 years and jay z is more relevant in 2011 than nas after so called losing the battle

    Aint nothin else to say at this point nas is praised and adulated on the

    Jigga is a worldwide icon/legend



    Maybe you can apply that to his net worth but on wax? Yeah alright.....he so relevant that he now does whole albums with a cat like YE and get carried throughout the whole joint. Is that the way ? mcees carry themselves after droppin a terrible ass album like Blueprint 3? He needs to retire just like Eminiem do.

    As far as Jay goes, JayZ in his prime was what Wayne is today. He was dope, but only on a commercial level. If you compared him to emcees that really do this, he ranks dead in the middle, maybe a little higher.

    It's just the spotlight clouds people's judgment. Some people feel like they have to like him because he's always on the radio. It's like that aight song back in the day that gets stuck in your head because the radio plays it a million times over. That's kind of what JayZ's career was like aka he can't ? with Nas on any level.

    Like I said to ? . Hov got at Nas with facts.

    Nas can't act like he ain't have a one hot album every ten years average. Cuz even Nas would admit that stillmatic is his second best album.

    it's kinda funny to say nas has one hot album in a ten year average when it was written killed anything jay made after rd easily.

    I grew up in NY, I know the real story. JayZ is not in the upper tier of emcees by no means.

    He's dope on a commercial level though.

    Brooklyn rides for Jay and Big. I don't know how queens views Nas or 50 or how the numbers are sales wise with each artist in each borough. I know dipset ran Harlem and had great influence in Brooklyn too . More people are purest then you would expect and don't really check for Jay at all. With that said, WTT been getting heavy rotation in bk. People be saying the rap seen is dead in NY but i don't think they realize that dancehall is a far bigger scene even amongst African Americans. Nas my fav artist but i don't hear too many people checking for him out here.

    Also, the reviews were mixed when it came to takeover\Supaugly vs Ether. Many people went with takeover mainly cuz it was a club banger. If you wanna talk about the music in the streets vs the net. Most people don't didn't give a ? about this beef. Tupac vs Big had way more impact on the publics perception.

    those lyrics were not needed and you didnt answer my question

    and tommy is hilarious

    I say they wer on par with each other, what stood out for Em was his delivery and perhaps his addressing of the Holier then Thou
