Classic Spurstalk.
OR
Classic Spurstalk.
i dont care who won but nas is better
its not even close, although jay z is slightly better than his peers who really really just reinvent being a sucker mc like 50 cent, eminem and kanye west
Nas, by a mile. Better rapper and better diss track.
Seriously? This beef is almost as lopsided as KRS vs Nelly or Ice-T vs LL Cool J..
'Ether' might be my favorite song of all time.
This is like asking who won between LeBron James and DeShawn Stevenson.
Wasn't the beef squashed like three years ago?
Anyway, Nas won the beef, but for me, Jay-Z has done better later in his career. Nas fell off hard after "It Was Written." I haven't liked much of his stuff since and that was back in the late 90s.
Kinda hard to say Nas won when a few years later Jay-Z was signing his checks.
Nas killed Jay-Z back in the day, but then as his popularity was dropping, he basically became Jay-Z's ballwasher to get some publicity. Along with that fake controversy about how he was going to name his album "Nagger" when he knew all along he wasn't.
Ether > Takeover
but
Jay-Z > Nas
Stillmatic kills anything Jay Z has ever put out.
Nasir ftw.
Nasir Jones, although Jays latest album is better then un led which was a huge disapointment
At least pick Reasonable Doubt if you're going to hype Jay Z (which isn't as good as Stillmatic, much less Illmatic)
I take Nas, but Illmatic is about the most over hyped rap album I've ever heard.
you remember the hype it had in 94?
No but people I talk to about it think it's the be all end all of rap.
Ether was even that spectacular of a diss track. Jay-Z lost that beef based on his subsequent meltdown alone.
naw rap still had almost 3 years life left, but its in my holy trinity
the only albums you could EVER compare it to would be enter the wutang, the predator, midnight mauraders, cold vein and ready to die
Dude bloggin with spurstalkers in the club about what good rap is is like bloggin on www.texagggggs.com about how ron paul makes sense.
No way in
Not only are the rhymes great and the delivery flawless, but Sony spent a grip on getting the best producers in the business to ensure every song had an incredible beat on top of everything else. QTip, Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, MC Serch,... I mean , he had everyone but Dre doing his music on Illmatic. Sony knew they had signed a superstar from the second they landed Nas, and went balls-out making his debut.
NY State of Mind - Good
Life's a - Classic
The World is Yours - Classic
Halftime - Classic
Memory Lane - One of the 10 greatest hiphop songs ever
One Luv - Good
One Time For Your Mind - Good
Represent - Classic
It Ain't Hard to Tell - Classic
It's easily a top 5 album of all-time.
At least pick Reasonable Doubt if you're going to hype Jay Z (which isn't as good as Stillmatic, much less Illmatic)at me...
Jay Z is a Free mason...
"Keep one eye open like CBS"
Anything hot Nas put out after "It Was Written" is negated by him putting out that song "You Owe Me" with Ginuine. As if "Hate Me Now" wasn't bad enough, that Ginuine joint made him a complete in my eyes. That was the type of that emcees like Jeru and Black Star and Common and underground artists and real hip hop fans were fed up with the direction of hip hop, and to have it come from one of the greats like Nas. I lost total respect for him. Jay-Z put out commercial too, but I don't know, Nas to me completely fell off the cliff and then tried to be a commercial pop rapper when he saw hip hop moving towards the bling era. He tried to redeem himself with Stillmatic, but it wasn't enough to make me feel like he punked out. Again, not to say that Jay didn't have his share of lame commercial , but for some reason, it hurt me more to see Nas do it.
If we are going to go down that road, then Jay negated his whole career before it really began when he came up rapping like the Fu-Schnickens and then bit Nas style after that gimmick didn't work.
Biting Nas' style and plagiarizing Biggie by the ton is exponentially lamer than Nas cashing in with some weak pop ish.
lol jay-z
