No he won’t, he didn’t have half of the lasting impact jay has had on the culture in general. You nas fan boys are mentally ill
Other than that late 2000s-early ‘10s period, Jay has pretty much vested Nas every time. Vol. 3 was better than Nastradamus, Blueprint was better than Stillmatic, The Black Album was better than God’s Son, American Gangster was better than Hip Hop is Dead, 4:44 was better than Nasir
Other than that late 1990s-early 00s period Nas has pretty much vested Jay every time. Illmatic was better than RD, IWW was better than Vol 1 & 2, Life is good is better than magna carta, Untitled is better than Blueprint 3, HHID is better than kingdom come
French news usually don't give a single f*** about rap music but Jay was one of the rare artists who earned TV time here with Kanye obviously cause he broke the rap artist cocoon a long time ago and is deeply linked with Paris.
Like not even Drake earned that kind of coverage
Jay earned the global mainstream eye and at the end of the day Nas stays a pretty niche artist
Y'all measure hip hop with pop culture goggles
Typical ktt bs
lol you even know that's not true. This ain't even a drake cole kendrick comparison. Jay literally ascended from being a rapper lol
What does "ascending from being a rapper" have to do with hip hop?
Nas and Hov the rap MJ and Prince
MJ and Prince knew how to make music.
exactlyyyyy unless he goes through a brutal divorce with beyonce and has all of his business endeavors go down the drain he's so much bigger than nas.
most of the time i mention Nas to the average person I have to say "the rapper nas" and they go "oh ok I've heard of him"
And this has what to do with hip hop?
the average person doesn't know Rakim - would you place Nicki minaj who's obviously bigger over him because of that?

OP said Nas will be remembered better than Jay. Before you even reach the "better" phase he was trying to argue about you gotta start by be being remembered and outside of hip-hop/US culture Nas won't be instead of Jay. That's straight facts and I love Nas

Alot of people dislike jay for being a flagrant capitalist though (I think that after the NFL deal debacle alot of people flipped on jay)
He gets alot of coverage but it's not all good reception/positive feedback
Edit : I think you are talking about being remembered period - like most people will remember jay over nas - whilst I'm arguing that nas image may be remembered more fondly than jay's
Only time will tell though
But yeah, I like Jay more but Nas will be remembered a lot better for sure (at least in rap music)

Last time I opened Twitter Nas was getting flamed for being an antivax so both of them are really catching strays.
At the end of the day the only thing that can truly differentiate them is to look at who's going to remember each of them and it's pretty clear that Jay's pool is larger than Nas's one but I get what you're saying tho

He will be remembered more favorably by people that are casuals to their music
Jay Z's place in the culture will outlast whatever albums the two decide to put out
Hov is the best of all time and just dropped a classic in 2017
Nas peaked 20+ years ago and been on a falling fast decline
Nas and Hov the rap MJ and Prince
nah it’s dead drake and ye
them niggas is sassy as hell
