    Nas is a more talented rapper in my opinion but jay z was better in making albums that are also mass appealing no pun intended. The problem is with nas that he had really s--- albums and sometimes mid albums that overshined his classic releases. Nas always struggled with getting a smash hit too which wasn‘t a problem for jay z. Prefer jay z overall better discography also

    Jay wins by coolness. And I love Nas. Jay has Can't Knock The Hustle and Nas has NY State Of Mind. Both great songs and the latter lyrically absolutely insane but I still prefer the Smoothness of CKTH
