Finally, somebody feels like I do. I respect both artist, but in my honest opinion NAS is True Hip Hop at heart. No, his stacks are no way as large as Jay, but I respect his shit more than Jay. Thanks you for that.

YOooo someone school this kid EdwardV. Nas one classic Illmatic thats it?? Listen to LostTapes, Gods Son and It Was Written(personally i think better than illmatic, my opinion tho). JayZ shitted in his pants when Nas hit him with Ether and JayZ fans got emotional. LOL Im not degradin JayZ in anyway, he's definitely on my top5 but not on top of Nas – HipHops G.O.A.T!

In 2002 Nas reflected, "I make lots of money from what I do, and it's God's gift. I didn't get in the business just to make a million or two billion overnight. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't care. I just love the music and enjoying my life at the same time. I love rap more than being a star in rap."

^^^This is why Nas will never lose…while people continue judging him on commercial record sales and his personal life…he will continue with success domestically and internationally because he is HUMBLE!!!! While everyone is counting Jay's record sales…Nas is not missing a beat with getting his MONEY (commercially and underground)! I will never understand how absolute strangers can judge a man (Nas) so profoundly and never had a one (1) second conversation with the man…NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! Sixteen years (16) + in the GAME!!!! People have been counting Nas out since Illmatic dropped and he is still making classic music and evolving as an artist! People have to realize that everyone does not want the LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION LIFE STYLE…but that does not mean you can't still be successful and make lots of money doing what you love and at the level you chose to do it on!!!! Nas has proven this to be true…and if people actually stopped trying to compare Nas to commercial artist…they would know that Nas is just as important and successful in hip hop as Jay-z, Lil Wayne, Kanye, T.I., 50 Cent, Eminem and the rest of the commercial artists!!! We have a variety of commercial artists. Nas said: "There's only one me but a hundred thousand yous." Actually Nas is in a CLASS ALL BY HIMSELF…GOAT!!!!

JAY PROVES HOW HIS STANS ARE DELUSION. HE EVEN KNOWS THAT NAS IS FAR FROM GARBAGE…IN HIS RECENT XXL MAG INTERVIEW HE STATES "MY ONLY COMPETITION IS NAS AND EM" JAY KNOWS THE TRUTH…BUT TO BAD HIS FANS ARE STILL SALTY OVER ETHER! JAY AND NAS HAVE MOVED ON AND TO TRY ENDLESSLY TO COMPARE THEIR SUCCESS IS STUPID AND POINTLESS AT THIS TIME!!!!

The people who hate on Nas are the ones who never liked him in the first place! Shit…Nas is still selling! If these people who try to act like Nas is garbage actually knew how loved Nas is globally they would shit on themselves! Nas is on a international tour right now!!!! Nas don't give a fuck about the hate…in fact he welcomes it! It just goes to show you how caught up the so-called fans of hip hop are about the HYPE of and artist!!! Hip hop fans don't care about hip hop…they care about how much money an artist makes!!!!!

Jay arguably had 2 classics (Reasonable Doubt & Blueprint, personally I like The Black Album) while nas only had 1 classic (Illmatic) and a solid album (Stillmatic). Jay has had better hits that's a no brainer, but nas dont really make that type of music.

If Nas made a greatest hits album it would fit on a single disc, but a Jay greatest hits album, shit, it would have to be a on 2 disc.

Nas Lost, shit I rather listen to kelis's first 2 albums honestly.

I'm happy for Nas and Jay-Z and imma let this finish making more albums, but Kanye West is one of the greatest artist of ALL TIME !!! lol naw i'm just joking…

Honestly I have to disagree with you, Nas' career is going further downhill with every album he releases while Jay just continues to get more and more sucessful. American Gangster was a concept album for a movie about a drug dealer, what do you expect him to rap about on it? And it's not like Nas ain't still talking about being on the block and carrying guns. The Jay-Z vs Nas arguement ended when Jay kept going platinum, Nas started struggling to reach gold, Jay married Beyonce, Nas married Kelis tattooed her on him arm then she filed for a divorced and when Nas took the ultimate L and signed to a label that Jay-Z is running.

With that said though I still have every Nas album from Illmatic to God Son on my phone and I'll always love his former self because I grew up almost idolizing that dude.

I'm a big fan of Nas, hence the name _illmatic_, but something Jay could never do is have arguably the greatest hip hop album of all time. I do agree with all that you've said. I love Jay, but Nas is what you would consider a true emcee. Nice write up homie!!
