@bigplayes78 I meant to say as lyrical as nas. He's undisputed top five, he is the originator of the style most great rappers use. Even if they surpass him he deserves top five on that face alone.
Dad of hiphop? Give me a break. Jay-Z wasn't even in a game when hiphop was invented. KRS-One, LL Cool J, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane etc. Hiphop doesn't have one dad but i guarantee that Jay-Z weren't or isn't biggest in game.
@koskelo99 While much respect goes to those mentioned and there are some truth to your claim. Jay-Z has accomplished more than any artist alive. Im not saying he did more, I said he accomplished more,evolved if you will. He is just on a whole other level not just lyrically, but musically. He was voted number 1 as Greatest Hip Hop Artist of all time, thats over Pac and Big. And if your wondering about KRS, LL, Rakim, and BDK theya re on the top ten list too but Jay is number 1
@shoNuuff so we have to take MTV list of the greatest mc ever seriously? if i make a list of who is the greatest country artist of all time will it be take seriously? no because i dont know shit about country music just like mtv don't know shit about rap. Jay-z is good, really good, one of the greatest, but number 1 its a joke.
@comicalcom lmao actually it was ice cube when he was with NWA snoop dogg in deep cover Mad skillz for his shit from 97'99 and all eminem after never has jay-z wrote rhymes for dre. but it seems everyone else did
@comicalcom lmao actually it was ice cube when he was with NWA snoop dogg in deep cover Mad skillz for his shit from 97'99 and all eminem after never has jay-z wrote rhymes for dre. but it seems everyone else did on youtube there is original tracks for crack a bottle i need a doctor and many more where em spits all the verses even the ones for dre
@comicalcom not all of his shit THE D.O.C. writes dre lyrics the only track that jay did was still dre on the 2001 album THE D.O.C. writes dres lyrics on THE CHRONIC AND 2001
He was one of the best from 1995-2003... he has sucked since the black album bro... granted he is one of the better rappers in the mainstream, he doesn't have nearly what he used to.. listen to his shit from Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime, and Hard Knock Life... those are his 3 best albums IMO
@atkwirate rakim is in my top 3 all time, but you can't listen to reasonable doubt jay-s's album and say its not one of the best albums of all time......if youv only ever heard jay-z's recent stuff or his singles then please dont talk
What are guys saying?Jay-Z isn't even close to Rakim on any track.Dre made an ill beat as usual, but Rakim had the best verse on this shit easily.If you really listen to Jay, he doesn't always make sense.
"i seen enough shit to leave ya frame of mind broken,im still alive n scope'in,be anotha 100 yrs before my skys closin, and ima die with my eyes open...the watcha!..".... so sick at the end of the verse it almost felt like the beat couldn keep up with the sickness...

I heard Jay Z freestyled his verse.
Rakim no doubt has skills and has ALWAYS been a beast. But even if Jay Z didn't freestyle that verse, he was the best on this joint.
All of these rap sangers claimin they bangers
