Nas and Jay are better but Rakim and Kane are their fathers. Add G Rap to that too -

It's dope how the original version of "my melody" sounds like "sucka n*****" by atcq -
Biz Markie got a dope one on that website too

Rakim revolutionized how ? rap. Man is a living legend.

Jay will NEVER be better than Rakim, gonna watch this later.

You could make an argument for Nas and BIG being just as good, but never better than the master.

I saw that, it's crazy how all these guys are tied to each other one way or another. And how they all met and was making the music -

It's crazy how young he was when he was dropping those gems. They say he was 17 when that first single dropped and now you got ? rushing albums and saying dumb ? on the mic -

Rakim came out in 1986. So did Jay Z, here's a song called HP Gets Busy that Jay rapped on in 86. Listen to Jay's flow and then compare it to Rakim's flow from the same year. Jay goes in @ 1:40 and again at 4:15.

It sounds like Jay had a nice style but the song wasn't produced properly. Some of the vocals are low and the beat could have been better. -
Why Hip Hop Fans always comparing other great artist against each other? They all great artists and Legends ....the Crab in Barrels mentality needs to stop in Hip Hop community if y'all want to Hip Hop to mature and keep growing for the future
