Jarv From The Rap Roundtable Admits That Nas Has Currently Passed Jay Z As #1 Emcee All-Time

Nas is just proving he is what we always says he was. The best lyricist/artist to ever touch a mic. It is what it is.

Cuz when you’ve always grabbed from everyone around you and sharked cats eventually it catches up…you don’t have anything AUTHENTIC of your own to stand on..that’s Jay to me…so he tries to shark the style of the moment, unsuccessfully…Nas always kept it 💯 on his style…that sticks around and gets better, real craft

[@rockk78]

Totally agree. That 90'S class of MC has to realize that there is one of themselves and only one of themselves and they have to be that to the fullest. Switching up does nothing for that caliber of artist. Imagine a Method Man as lyrically intelligent as he is mumble rapping like these young dudes. It would be a shame not to mention that you won't gain any real new fans because of what the newer demographic is accustomed to. The core fanbase of the 90 rapper plus their accomplishments are more than enough to keep them in conversations like these forever.

Jarv, you don't hate Nas. You hate the threat to your fav rapper. It's one thing to prefer Jay, but to hate Nas is immature. I hated Jay for goin at Nas, but Im over that. I can bump Nas and Jay. I dont hate Jay because I prefer Nas. You hate the threat and fans opinions. Be comfortable with your preference without hating someone elses. Debating is one thing, shittin on artists to win a bias argument is being caught up.

Bustha need rap, that was the move educational rap or back back rap, record labels started to only push thug music

First of all jay drops only when he has something to say usually in a new way, he's a reactive character so when he snaps its because something fired him up and thirdly like dude said his power raps are from HOV not jay... jigga does the party tracks. If you haven't noticed his roll out has always been lyrical ability with uniqueness then popular acclaim for the white folk who pay ie Kingdom come magna carta 444 as they keep his financial position and pole position then he collaborates to tap into inspiration the art of creativity... we all have to accept whatever part of the cycle he's in his bars are historically accurate to the time and relevant to the culture. He been telling us he's not a rapper he's way beyond that and the sparring partner in nas will have him in his bag. Soon as u switch up your face I pick up the pace. Snuthin 2 it!

[@2deep2hard]

Mind he don't drop an nft type streets is watching metaverse movie album pulling out that flow he was spilling before everyone got the fast bars fully... dont play with shaun

[@humanbeing4021]

Raps from Hov not Jay, grow up. I like Jay,but damn I never wanted to be him. He, Em and Nas are still good the same as The Rolling Stones and U2 because it is music and not a sport. Magna Carta was a half mic album.

[@ronaldbaker5201]

You Jay Stans need to do your research, before you come at me!

[@miguelhargrave7405]

I mean Nas always been a better rapper lyrically🥱 but the thing is 444 Jay can't Fuck with Drug dealer Jay. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nas been woke n flashy from day one so his style matures more naturally 🏆🐐💯💯

[@ronaldbaker5201]

Nas always been better than Jay! Where is Jay better than Rakim, Kool G Rap, Chuck D, KRSONE or Kane?

[@johnathannelson2602]

Nigga nas been #1

[@jaydon7956]

The God Mc Rakim is the #1 Emcee!! Until till there is no other!!

[@SonDialer]

Not sure. Its arguable at this point. G Rap

[@mikeparker7562]

How Sway???

[@rosestephen6789]

Nope. Jay is good where he's at.

[@Mic-100]

Coop... u outta ur damn mind. Lost tapes 2 don't suck... that is like saying it 2.5 mics... same as Nasir. Both albums are better than Nastradumas, kingdom Come, and Holy grail rap wise.

[@ThePretstar]

444 was a Classic album...Jay Z showed his Grown man side

[@Mic-100]

At 48? You make him look bad with that post

[@michaellewis5422]
