jay-z

one of the best if not the best rapper of all time. put out continuously great songs many of which were not released as singles. only rap artist in 20 years to play madison square garden, put out cd after cd packed with some of the best rap out there, wrote some of the greatest lyrics you will ever hear without ever writing down a word. he might have borrowed a line here or there but every rapper has. nas makes good music too but jay-z consistently puts out the deepest cuts with meaning in all of his lyrics...jay didnt put out a record until he started his own record company...something nas could never do nas isnt even half the man jay is today, jay has shoes, clothes, a record company, the ceo of def jam, what does nas have? nothing. jay is the whole package. if he was a candy bar, hed be kingsize, nas would be fun size.

Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky' --H.O.V.A.
