I'm glad someone finally said itPop/club records dont mean much in this shyt and mean even less to an audience of eastcoasters at a venue. People was saying Teddy Riley would beat Babyface because of the uptempo New Jack swing shyt but some had it closer that what they expected and some had babyface winning. Cats thought Dipsets hits would take out the lox but shyt like Fuck You, Niggas Done Started Something, Banned From TV and that freestyle to who shot ya played big roles in the Lox washing them cats
The thing is that Jay's hits ain't no candy cane bubble gum shit besides that Diddy BS early on..They still hit in the streets and underground while being catchy,plus Jay is a great performer like Jada is.Pop/club records dont mean much in this shyt and mean even less to an audience of eastcoasters at a venue.

Jay is who he is because he could be on the fence of highly skilled MC/lyricist and make these huge records.
Jay got those hardcore records and has more freestyles than Nas.Classic freestyles.
Once again I fuck with Nas' music all day and favor his appraoch to music,but Jay would most likely edge a battle.
Jay could play Reasonable Doubt,Black Album,or BPThe Nas disrespect is laughable. Nas could play Illmatic and win the versuz. That album is the hip-hop bible. Jay got hits a bunch of them all club joints as well. But to say Nas don't have 20 is goofy talk
Once I realized how versuz worked, it properly set my expectations.
Bleek is right based on the format of how this works.
Nas has a great catalog but I agree he doesn't have 20 songs to compete against in a versuz matchup.
This thread really shouldn't go past 2 pages if we're being honest
