If it was 4 touchdowns in the superbowl it'd be more apt comparison.
Greatest hip hop album of all time and then followed it up with another classic that is also better than anything Jay has done.

This is how I'm feeling goddammit. I need more beer. But can't drive. And I made shrimp tacos.

Exactly why I feel bad, Kelis was the least ratchet.

Kelis is Dominican black, she's genetically predisposed to being ratchet.
Don't worry, Jay still gets choked up when he hears the word.
Gaf-Hop would straight up crucify you and your entire genealogy if they read that.

Nas only has two-three good albums whereas jay has around 5 good ones

I think gafhop is still split to this day on that.
Quality over quantity breh.

Nas fans I know barely listen to Nas, they talk about him a lot though.
Jay won.
Jay won.
All depends on what you're looking for from who you think won.
My only interactions with either of them are consuming their music, so their music is all I care about. I don't really care that Jay has Beyonce or more money, because I don't see any of that shit - I'm not his business partner or something. I like Nas' music better (although they're both good), so Nas won.

Didnt Nas play in some Church movie or something?
..wait..some people think that what I said was a controversial opinion?
What's wild is you said it like it's popular opinion.

That Illmatic is the GOAT hip hop album and that It Was Written is a classic album? It actually is.

all i know is this...
i lived in Bed-Stuy when Ether dropped.
i remember that week.
everyone was depressed, heads hung low.
people were calling out sick for work.
i heard rumors of some people moving in fam living in the BX to hide their shame.
Queens niggas would ride thru blasting it outta their rap cars...
Nas won.
anything after that is like talking about how you beat Jordan on the Wizards.

I love your Nas won stories. Someone should film them like those civil war PBS specials.

When It Was Written came out I remember people hating it. "Fuckin' Trackmasters". "Fucking mafioso fake gangster bullshit". "Goddamn R&B bullshit with Lauryn Hill".
I think it's gotten a lot more respect once we got out of that weird, late 90's time period in hip-hop. Listening to it on its own, the rhymes are still dope, and there's still some good production on it. But in 96? Shit was wack. WHERE'S MAH LARGE PROFESSOR/PREMIER/Q-TIP BEATS!?

Well, so was Reasonable Doubt. 96 was crazy for rap, so classic quality tapes lost a little shine cuz the entire year was bright.
I don't personally consider IWW a classic, but it's not an unheard of opinion.
Bieber hasn't been right since he started hanging with thugs like Lil Twist.

It Was Written was actually the first Nas album I ever listened to, so I never really hated it as much as others seemed to.
I don't think Jay caught as much hate for Reasonable Doubt, since that was his first album. There was no previous work to compare it to, whereas Nas was a "sellout", comparatively speaking.
But I dunno, my perception could be colored by the fact I was mostly looking at online discussions and hip-hop print magazines at the time, which were all NY focused, and worshipped Illmatic. I lived in Dallas, so my real life circle was all stuck on No Limit albums. It Was Written was a breath of goddamned fresh air, lyrically speaking, in comparison to those, lol
I still liked looking at that Mercedes album cover in the back of Source magazine though

Man Nas' worse album is still a better listen to alot of Jay's discography.
I'd rather listen Amil's joint than Kingdom Come, BP3, MCHG to name a few.
In other news.
Jhene Aiko - Everything Must Go (Remix)
I honestly like this version better than the No ID produced version.

I would rather listen to all of those albums back to back than having to hear a single track off Nastradamus ever again. Nastradamus is what an abortion sounds like.
and I *hate* Jay-Z with a passion. You can ask gaf-hop. I haven't even heard a single song off MCHG yet.

but 50 has blood on the sand, he wins by default

So we've had snow and ice the last couple days. TD works at a pizza joint. Long story short, there were huge lines the days he was working, some woman of course decides to waste everyone's time needing details on the ingredients. She asks further details on the pepperoni. The pepperoni. Get your Portlandia skit ass out of here.
It's not a skit or a TV show. It's your reality.

I think Jay-Z is mediocre. I would still listen to him over the amount of garbage mainstream rappers out today. Nas killed him and rightfully.
She just wanted to know if it came from his pepperoni stick.
50 has the more lucrative hustle as well during his run. He flipped his run through the industry into million dollar movie, book, and consumer electronic deals. However, his act got old quickly.

First debit cards now layaway, GAF sure has a thing up it's butt for low income individuals.
maybe the farmers market she normally gets her food from was closed due to the storm

His line in "I Get Money" still cracks me up.

If you are at all concerned about eating healthy the word pepperoni should never come out your mouth.
