You have this all wrong, I'm not doing this to every other rapper, just Nas. I flat out do not like Nas' music(inb4 you hate Nas because of the beef and this is why youre a stan). Notice how I didnt say anything about Rakim, Em, Big, Pun, or anyone else whose name has been mentioned in this thread, just Nas. I dont think he is good at all, and the fact that he has somehow become the main person to compare JAY-Z against is laughable to me, so I speak out against it. Andre 3000 is struggle bar guy btwThat'sThat's fine and dandy that he is your favorite rapper. The thing that is annoying is how you downplay every other rapper trying to justify why you think he is better. Calling Nas a pseudo intellectual or saying he has "struggle bars"(whatever that means) makes you look like clown. It's like you can't recognize or even comprehend that someone can think that Jay is not the GOAT. I can't relate to **** that eminem raps about but I recognize and acknowledge his skills. Same with Jay, I can't relate to being a millionaire or being a drug dealer but I can understand he has talent. Do I think he is the GOAT? No but I can understand why someone would. Especially if you weren't into rap or around in the early 90's .This was a good post up until the last line, I dont think youre seeing how ridiculous that sounds. You've set two criteria that not one person can be the best at both, so how will you determine who is the best? Its broken at its core. To answer the rest of your post, its very simple. JAY-Z makes music that invokes a response from me, more so than any other musician or any form of media for that matter. I listen his music when I'm mad, I calm down. I listen to it when I'm sad, it cheers me up. I listen to it when I want inspiration, I get inspired. IMO he has a song for every person and every subject, and regardless if you agree or not, he is very techincal and lyrical in my opinion.
No other rapper has ever resonated with me the way JAY-Z has. They didnt when I was 7, and theyre not doing it now that I'm 24. 17 years of listening to the same person the majority of the time and nothing has changed. That is for a reason. Because its true quality. Unmatched quality.
I was never here to change anyones mind about anything, just weigh in the topics. Call me a Stan or whatver, it makes no difference to me.
I cant really relate to JAY-Z's music either, I never moved weight and I'm not a millionaire. Its still the best product out IMO
