i dont care for blueprint 2, but the beats on 1 murder stillmatic and/or gods son. like i said, nas has problems picking beats and i think it hurts his output and his ability to put together a classic album. hes a better lyricist than jay, but jays albums are usually better imo because of the beats.

I agree beats wise Nas suffers. But lyrics, flow...Nas was simply better. Thats why I posted the lyrics to "las real n*gga alive"

They are incredible. However, the beat was so so. But his lyrics are so strong that it makes it a great song imo.

Mastermind is an example of his having a great beat and delivering a classic.

I look at early 2000's Jay Z and Nas like this..

Nas was Cam at Auburn.
Jay Z was Tebow at Florida.

Both all time great's at their peak. But Jay Z had more support to make his stuff great. Nas was just carrying it by himself. If Nas had those producers it would be clear whose better.

There is a difference between "Best" and "Most Accomplished"
