VERZUZ DEBATE: JAY-Z VS NAS!!! WHO WINS??? Drop a comment!!! 

I love both but I think Jay-Z wins this one

Nas

Look, man, I can't believe y'all boot-lickers put the *Reasonable Doubt* album in the same sentence as *ILLMATIC.* Jay-Z said it on the *BluePrint III* album, track: *CLAP FOR'EM: **_"I had the Illmatic album on bootleg, the sh!t was so ahead, I thought we were all dead!"_* That Jay-Z line means that the Illmatic album kills everybody's joints! On top of that, he used NaS's vocals on Dead Presidents; he has Biggie, and Prodigy's vocals, and others. NaS only had an unknown marksman named AZ that shot off the buzz with his career. Jay-Z can't touch NaS's storytelling on *ILLMATIC!* NaS also has too many killer joints while Jay-Z has more pop and girlie hits for the club! With NaS still dropping hits and still touring his new album *KINGS DISEASE II,* NaS is much sharper and is *STILLMATIC!*

Scarface song for song scarface puts on a hell of a show what you thing about that

Sadly the God Jay would never 😔😔 .. But if he did it would be enormous

If it happens it will break the internet

True

I'd gladly pay to watch it!

Jay and Nas too sensitive for vs. their interviews be SOFT AF.

Great analogy. Then he took it step further with his creativity with concept songs like " I Gave You Power", "Rewind", "Last Words", "Sekou's Story", "Beef", etc...

He’s the chosen one, the GOAT

It's close. But currently since Nas found hitboy he became damn near untouchable

"He got rap out of that fast paced rap style" Not enough people give him credit for that

Hitboy was a "blessing". I think most of us was charmed by life is good but then when he got hitboy in his corner and started flexing more, along with the financial success which elevated his confidence level he like damn near reached the ultimate level. Hopefully more to come. Nas the best regardless

Empire State of Mind is garbage…

@@worldlfree compared 2 If I ruled the world definitely.

@@worldlfree you fucking wack. You just hating fucking Cornwball. That's a great song all time. You just hate really. Them songs are classic.

💯

Ok so let's continue the battle. So Jay comes out the gate swinging with "Empire State Of Mind" and Nas comes back at him with "If I Ruled The World". What does Jay respond with? Let's say he responds with "Izzo Hova": what should nas play?

Hov s better

@@johnbest8091 never dat

Jay Z probably has 5 classic albums

Nas has more classic albums and songs. And classics beats hits all day.

@Keanu Powell lmao he definitely does. Jayz classics stopped in 2003. 🤣🤣 And Nas has 3 classic albums the past year and a half. Keep up with the program kid.

To be honest bro I don't think Jay would even show his face

Jay would bring a live band

@@jamint.jaddua1771 he wouldnt

@@jamint.jaddua1771 right it’s all a long shot.

You must don’t watch hov live to much jay a bully

versuz is a petty thing for nas n jay...they have nothing to prove.

I totally agree. Who ever was to lose, their career would take a vital blow that they wouldn't be able to recover from

@@sancofa7 i disagree

Jay and Swizz are like best friends So don’t sleep on this

@@sancofa7 that's not true don't believe the hype

Facts

Factz

Kanye would do just fine against either of them.

Man so no Scarface I get it but man face and geto boys got a strong songs but I'm from the south and to be honest always thought Jay was kinda commercial

How when biggie was scared to mention Nas name on " kick in the door " after Nas dissed him multiple times

Imagine him switching to “Nahmean” 🤯

@@Don.M. Or doing Disppear “The master, the masses One has power the other one lacks it Guns and power are controlled like assets Owned by financial forcasters Who are the masters? The gangstas, the bankers, the ones who tax us And who are the masses? Us, the people, divided in classes I go off like a Shiite bomb Yall bout yo see Im on my Warpaint on my face shit, 9mm on my waist shit”

@partin25, jay also did a song with Damien Marley on his last album.

Nas has an album with Junior Gong and Jay did the track after the album so save it 😂

Seen both live,Nas to me moves the crowd and gets your attention.Edge to Nas,freestyle Jigga can hang but Nas would murder him my opinion

Agreed stillmatic was better

Even Nas admitted himself on a interview for stillmatic before release, this album will be better , and said it on the intro " never go backwards always moving "

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥🔥💪💪🔥👊

the dynasty intro

He should give rakim and g rap his style back

🔥🔥🔥🔥 best intro.

nah black republicans or success

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Epic

You are comparing NY state of mind to empire state of mind?

@@pagola this just tells me that Nas will win 🤣🤣🤣

How Nas came out rapping like Rakim who was clearly ahead of his time so when you mention Nas make sure you don't forget Rakim

Without Rakim there wouldn’t be a Nas but Illmatic is top 3 greatest hip-hop albums of all time!

Rakim and Big Daddy Kane changed hip-hop forever

I dont think Nas has 20 chart topping hits. I'd say 10 the most!

@@cresswellchipman2533 Yes he do, the entire “Illmatic” are full of classics

A few clue freestyles here and there

​@@cartierjoe .💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Nas catalog DEEP!

🧢 Nas Nice!!! Catalog lukewarm tho

​@@powerlo5053bs

Yessir Facts. KD and KD2 great albums.

Nas is amazing l think that verzuz would be epic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kd3 is crZy

Thats a hard list. U know what you talking

Bruh these people saying Nas would get smoked would be in for a rude awakening. That list alone is a beast and that ain't even no where near the end of it

Lol if I do a Hov list before 2003 its gon be too long man.

@@sc84_ pls do one lets compare

should i add mainstream hits or features or freestyles 🤔 😂

I agree

Facts

I'm scared for Nas. I think jayz got it.

Big Factz

@@debrajames3865 Nas already killed HOV on Wax

@@theod610 I'm a fan of both and I aware of the damage Nas did with Either!! However jay z is a beast of free styling ! Jay z is not the one that people should sleep on! He is Extremely witty and crafty and calculated.

Absolute facts

Yessir

I see what you did there.

Had to check the replies to see if anyone else got what Donovan Cooper did!

@@Broyale26 almost 50 years old still putting out songs like that.. mine and probably everyone else’s favourite song on the album.. GOAT

Tight! Nas too Emcee & Elite for Jay..Nas Rushmore along with Krs, Rakim, G.Rap, Kane ,Chuck D, Slick Rick & em

Wrong, ma'am...Jay is a lackluster performer. He kinda stands there and sways...BUT his songs knock so hard whether for the club or the streets, it feels like a great performance.

@@julianisaac6004 wrong sir! 😩🙄

@@julianisaac6004 I agree! His songs so huge he just stands there! Anybody saying other wise never seen him live or just lying to they self

@@julianisaac6004 I know this post old af but big facts on your comment. I’ve been to a Jay concert and it’s not the performance that sets the building on fire, it’s the songs and the nostalgia for those songs. Jay doesn’t have to do much because the crowd does it for him. Take for instance when he does “n*gas in paris”. All he does for that record is form a mosh pit and just stands there semi hyping the song while the crowd does the rest in the mosh pit. Jay is one out of a few rappers who can get away with lacklustered performance due to how hard his songs hit

@@julianisaac6004 true. It’s his songs and incorporation of crowd participation that mask the fact that his actual stage presence is only above average. His wife on the other hand….

Same

Exactly. And sone of Jay's radio hits are so-so

😂😂😂😂😂

Nas got hits too.

If they don't I don't want to see it.

EXACTLY

I agree with you bro just to celebrate them

yeah those records should have never been made in the first place

Nas Rushmore along with the Krs, Rakim, Kane, G. RAP, Chuck D, Slick Rick & em. Nas too Emcee & Elite or Jay..I like jay tho

Why cause Jay-Z LOST THAT BATTLE hands down 🤔🤣🤣🤣

@@secondshosecondsho3353 🤣 i remember that. nobody talks about that. but all bs aside they both great and they both dont need to do a versus, they come from the old school era of freestyle.

Please stop putting reasonable doubt next to illmatic doggystyle ready to die only built for cuban linx infamous but especially ILLMATIC. Jay had mad collaborations on his debut ever single on that album had a feature from dead presidents has Nas vocals and Nas would have been a feature he is had Mary J Blidge on can't knock the hustle although he wrote ain't no ninja he still featured a under age foxy Brown that's another feature then there is a girl singing on the hook to Feeling it. And that has been J's formula his whole entire career and nobody talks about this. U can't say u R the greatest unless you hold your own and showcase your talent and I'm Jay hasn't done that once. Most of these rappers y'all call great don't have albums that weren't heavily featured oriented. ILLMATIC Nas did Solo yes the album had AZ but that was his entry into the game he wasn't famous or had any songs out or anything so how can you think to put reasonable doubt anywhere Illmatic I mean Nas ghosted him for a feature for reasonable doubt and he still sample that Man on his debut. This is where ppl r confused and delusional and they get caught up to smoking mirrors and they can't see the obvious right in front of them. Then Nas not only ghosted him but also dropped another classic album in the same month Jay drops his debut forget the line lex with tv sets minimum that was a excuse for Jay to use because on his next album the beginning of the vol series on volume 1 Jay sample Nas again on rap game crack game and then puts himself in the conversation with Nas and Biggie in which Jay sales lyrics or skills where on the level technically like Nas or Big. Jay did this many times in his career making statements without nobody checking him outside of a few ppl back then like prodigy and that's why he went at them on the worst overated diss song ever The Fakeover. This guy had the never to say Ny got soft ever since snoop came through and crushed the buildings I'm trying to restore the feeling what feeling Nas Big mobb deep Wu ran Ny at that time and Jay was not outside in them streets like that Yeah he might of been in the club popping 🍾 but he didn't want no sauce during the West Coast East Coast beef and it have been facts they had Jay stuck in hotels scared to death Jay been soft thats why 50 cent always dissed him I mean this the same guy that Solange beat up in the elevator 😂

💯💯💯 please share the vid!

Rip to Biggie .. 👀👀 oh yeah somebody say wassup to fab, CAM, kiss & LL COOL JAY while you're at it

Eminem can EASILY match up with Hove...

@@bigmike2884 no he can't. Hov would be talking about selling dope em would be talking about smoking it. That being said Em is the second most complete rapper next to Jay. Jay and Em are more complete than Nas.

@@radarinfinite1032 Em is not next to hov for the very reason you mentioned , the content was not relevant to black culture 85% of the time

He’s not beating his wife because his insecure.

Nas is lukewarm at best..Jay is the Greatest of all time

What obsession?

😂

​@@lentikilentuliMothergoose😂😂😂

I mean, it ain't hard to tell 🤷 #Nas

😂

BDK vs Rakim KRS ONE vs LL Cool J Ice Cube vs Jay Z Nas vs Common Treach vs Em

Thats his best song Period!!!

And then Nas say “It’s not a facade, it’s a fact this rappers wanna be Nas”

@@4u4000 And then Hov said “ Yeah I sampled your voice, you was using it all wrong, you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song…I know who I paid Search Life Publishing, you aint get a coin, you was gettin fucked then!

@@dolo4625 first of all Dead President II can’t come close to the World is yours and that’s facts. Secondly, Jay is confessing albeit subconsciously to the fact that Nas owns a piece of his catalog ask MC Serch he said it on drink champs

@@4u4000 It don’t matter! He has his own lane nicca H O V lol

Good thing us real hip hop fans don't give a fck about commercial shit. Just you outsiders like that popcorn bullsht!

Totally agree! but...people the "masses" don't, won't, & will never understand=/ Ghost discography is legit!

True they wouldn’t respect it. Ghostface deserves mores respect than that.

Man I’m a huge fan of The Wu! But hits is hits, the words are on tape and what measures up, measures up…. That shit ain’t adding up, Jay. Easy..

what that mean?

Nas is the greatest lyricist in the world period

@@ceekaysaceekay3775 In The Whole Wide World, Wow You Def Rate Nas.

Exactly. Jay and Nas is like the cool guy vs the high school quarterback and his teeamates and the cheerleader. On skill, yeah it's even. But Jay cares sooooooo much about image and that's what verzuz is all about. Nas could give a fuck which is why I love him but why he'd be terrible for a verzuz.

@@LembeckIsStaying Nas is more than imagine tho.. He is.. NAS. I can't even explain.

@@LembeckIsStaying I feel what you wrote but i still disagree, i don't think it would go that way. Nas too great for that. He would put up a fight (in my opinion he would win that one)

Yes because jz really Steals a lot of people's shit! He a wave rider. Most his big songs from the rocafella days were stolen from his artist. Then he refused to put out their albums because he was stealing their ideas. This is facts. Go look up Oschino, Beanie Seigel interviews about Jz biting and stealing people's shit.

@@yobartenda lol you saying look it up like i said thats not the case.. unfortunately doesnt matte

X gonna come back 2 life for that one

No it didn't. It was 51% to 49% in the voting for Nas as the winner with a song. There was no blowout. That's the gas up.look it up! Love them both.

Naw, man. H to the OMO was straight fire.

Listen to “Last real nigga alive” it’s only like half-diss song but it’s amazing

I raise you Reasonable Doubt, Hard Knock Life, Black Album, American Gangster, Blueprint, 4:44

@@bigcohiba298 not better than Nas ones

@@DonBienveRosario15 your opinion gee

@@bigcohiba298 facts, respect to Hov but he know

@@DonBienveRosario15 know what? Jay overall has a better body of work and I'm not even going to talk about features

4:44 was mid tho

exactly

Fam, Jay went mainstream. You can't listen to Reasonable Doubt and compare to anything in Jay's future. No hate, Hov was at his peak during RD artistically. He just got popular and the narrative changed. It happens.

@@LembeckIsStaying I can compare Reasonable Doubt to Blueprint, The Black Album, Blueprint 2, American Gangster, 4:44. I get the nostalgia around Reasonable Doubt but to say he hasn’t made anything better is completely disregarding the evolution he went thru as an artist. It’s like after that you’re gonna tell me NOTHING was close to if not better than his first album. Nas definitely I could say that about, I can’t think of anything that has come close to surpassing Illmatic except Stillmatic and that’s still questionable 😬. Both of them went Mainstream it happens to great artists

@@LembeckIsStaying American Ganster?

It actually would be a easy body, you can’t forget all the features jay did either on top of his albums plus Beyoncé? That’s just op, and can’t compete with that onslaught.

@@deanbrooks7297 it ain't going to be no damn easy body.

@mac Stanford you must be Jay brother because the last time anybody said Jay was smoking Nas we seen what happened. Nas ain't getting smoked by no one.

@mac Stanford I'm in my 30s and not from NY so you lost the debate. Both Nas and Jay are from NY, so on not sure your point.

@mac Stanford But it's true though. Who would REALLY smoke Nas, especially in a versus? This ain't simply battle rap or dissing on wax. It's legend status vs legend status. Business-wise? Sure Jay would body Nas.. But musically? Hmmmmmm... Not an easy one for neither. I would also pick Nas though.

Best point I’ve read thus far!!! Jay has a MOUNTAIN of hits!!!!!!!!!

@@joneseybaby8124 if this did happen I’d hope Jay isn’t thinking he’d want to prove he’s a better rapper that’ll give Nas a big chance. Use the hits! And Jay should have it

@@_IsrealPerez Agreed

“Da Streetz” 🤡🤡🤡🤡

streets mean nothing without substance and mainstream hits.Ja Rule proved that yesterday.

Verzuz ain't a streets lane. It's for club cats and chicks, that's not Nas lane.

@@bxboro4662 they ‘street dreamin’ 😂

@@sc84_ well some people do street dream but people in the streets where I'm from and not all always felt Nas could relate to street life better and more importantly could make the track feel relatable.

@@dre3505 Nas was a good kid growing up he wasn’t no gangsta or sold dope he was like a hood narrator and a poet that rapped about the things he saw in his hood and growing up Jay on the other hand was in the streets moving weight been in shoot outs and it has been confirmed by ogs from his hood I like them both but facts is facts Nas and ice cube weren’t gangsters they just knew how to tell a story/tale about the hood
