nas is like a true hip hop heads hero. he always comes correct, and rarely shows signs of slowing down. his style and content is always true 2 his life. u could listen 2 his cd and learn a lot about him.
jay on the other hand is like everybodys hero. lil kids 2 grown folks know this cat. His style reflects what going on 2day, subjects that pretty much everyone can relate 2.
he'll do a song about big pimpin, then turn around and do a true heartfelt track like this cant be life.
nas is a dope mc in every sense of the word, but i think jay-z has a little more versatility. that's coming from a true nas fan.
