"I just pepped your profile"

Nigga got a little discrimination to go along with his dog whistle

Aesop Rock trash but it makes sense for you

i go back n forth on jay

It always feels someone did something better than him, like he's the classic jack of all trades, so he's sort of undeniable but dispensable

96’-03’ is a legendary run. A classic 14 years later is amazing too. But I can’t say yes cause I respect Nas a lot and Dot is my favorite ever

If we're trying to measure things like intangibles then it could possibly be Drake considering he became a billionaire in less time with seemingly less effort. As well as being on 15 year run, but he's not a better rapper.

Yes

So are Em, Nas, Drake and Kendrick.

And by album run, do you mean critically successful albums or just commercially successful ones?

in 8 years he dropped 10 albums that were all critically and commercially successful outside of the r kelly collabs which still had hits on them. he also put on a bunch of other artists and had big features. this was at a time when album planning was very different than it’s been the past 10 years

What the f***.

Brave to say this lol

Rakim is

No, on a rap level Nas is better than him

Jay is better than Ra

Ngl Nas gave Jay a run for his money with the 6 albums he dropped. I really hope Jay releases more material. Nas’ late career run was just unreal

I thought 4:44 was the end all be all for late career rap albums, Nas proved me wrong

Nope @op

Nas is better....

2Pac is better too....

Scarface is better too.....

What is the point of this thread

Yes

It’s objectively him or Wayne when you consider everything

one of the best yeah always hard to pinpoint the best but he belongs in the convo no doubt

Also true

There’s the art of actually rapping

Then the art of being a “rapper” lol

top 5

Absolutely

Nas is so much better but hov showed hes still incredible on that jay elec album

Jay is objectively top 10 -15 oat

Only a lil boy would disagree

Tom Brady isn't the best in most NFL QB categories but it reaches the point where he's high enough in enough of them and was successful for long enough that you have to give him the nod. That's Jay.
