Scarface is most definitely in my top ten with the exception of pac no rapper has more impactful lyrics than scarface

Pac & Face are my top 2 EVER!!!!

@@curljamz3905 that's a good choice during the nineties I always wanted to see pac and face collaboration glad it happened in August 96 a month before pac got killed

I do

I agree 100%

its also straight fire

Most honest truth ever

That's not finesse that's snake shit: Jay stay wanting to be the only xigga up as if Black People who invent global culture don't need community; Sean Corey's arrogance is on a whole other level, and I don't find that shit admirable. We ALL can and should eat good.

Facts 💯

Good one, you savage for that comment!

You have the right to your own opinion but jay is top five of all time and beast with the bars

Nah Jay is a good rapper it's just that all other rappers D ride him. It makes him seem bigger than what he was.

@@encouraginglyauthentic43 it's not about dick riding any time the king of ny b.i.g at the time said he next in line for the crown all the top mcs says he nice

What nicki do😭

Nas was not hot past illmatic....ever.....illmatic was only hot because of Jay-Z......tf you talking about

Stop trolling. Nas is definitely one of the GOATS

The only thing Jay did "Right" that everyone else in The Roc did "Wrong" is play the game and take the devil's deal. I would like him a whole whole lot more of he didn't fuck up everyone else's good money just so his insecurities could be satisfied that he's superior.

@@0Lu.Lu0 Lulu you nailed with that. The only other things I would add is also don't like Jay Z's swagger jacking and the fact he into the occult shit

@@haydenphoenix3836 Yeah, he and Bey have that in common, he wasn’t lying about Big Pimpin’. I only just recently found out about about the weird culty shit he’s into-always knew about his history telling girls “take a ride with me.”, his job interview process. Entertainment is a filthy industry as a whole.

yeah i always liked cam and sensed that jay was jealous of cam because the streets really fucked with cam and dude had the swag jjay didnt have

Facts

Yes but he have skills tho

K. Ford 15 minutes of a song #swaggerjacker

ryanr20091 the streets fucked with jayz Made songs for hustlers. Tf are you talking about. Jay was also never jealous of camron and camron never said that. Jay had a problem with dame and dame spitefully signed the dip set

Nas

@@darabbi360 2pac

Most of them would say Rakim though.

@@reggaefan2700 Actually most would have a different opinion in general about this topic. Ive heard people say KRS one, Big L, Nas, Big daddy Kane, Jadakiss, Big Pun Biggie. Like Nas said in ether it ain't no best.

This is why I never debate or argue or play the list game because 1) none of is qualify to speak on the "A" and the "T" in GOAT: we haven't always lived as long as time and we will pass on from time at some point, so, no, not "Of All Time"; if anything "of my generation" or "of ____ era" or "of [fill in whatever year]". 2) ART IS SUBJECTIVE. Men get out of control with competition gor competition's sake sometimes; it is perfectly fine to say Jay Z doesn't do it for you but Lil Wayne or Bun B is everything--no one can refute that if Bun B got you through your baby father making a baby on you at the same time you pushed out or if Lil Wayne gave you the confidence to win the interest of the hardest to fucc bitch you ever seen.

*Valid*

Which

Exactly

He really took young Chris style, give it to me was one of state property song he took and never paid him

X is nothing like PAC... at all.

I disagree he has way more classic albums people just hate because he successful or very mainstream

@Jamaal Davis yeah I agree and the dynasty album got bangers that’s a classic to state property still get show money cause that album had bangers

American Dreamin...I really like that album.

Black album on that level

Nah, he was just too busy already doing an independent run. Creating leverage and doing partnerships with labels. He also has been around since the 80's .

He was hustlin' during that time... came into the game late after he already made bread and started a company.

@@Willie_Stark You're proving my point Jay wasn't doing none of that Jaz showed him the game then Dame was taking care of all the business you just made that shit up in your head

His best albums is compilation albums seriously top five Mc’s and lyricist is 1 rakim 2 nas 3 biggie 4 jay 5 2pac and six Eminem I’m not talking about popularity or mainstream or commercial wise

Exactly

Also a deadbeat father but this is who folks look up too why it's he all on tv why aren't they speaking about how he neglected his daughter for 28yrs it's hush hush on that but they gave r Kelly hell because he was behind on child support this shit is full of favoritism

He is clever but he's not a G.O.A.T.!!! #Fact

i dont think they are buddies anymore

X said nice, which doesn't qualify as the goat. X is more creative and talented than j periodt.

@@TeenaDavis101 I love Dmx but X is very one dimensional to me. Jay z is a more well rounded artist to me

He'll never do that he has that if ain't broke don't fix it mentality that's why i like Kanye as the better artist because he takes risks even tho Jay-Z is the better rapper between those two

I was done when he did DOA then started doin auto tune lol smh great lyrics no goat

What is 4:44 and The Carter Albums?

And Big, Big L and Pun

Eff that weak school of the arts ballerina..hed be no match for dmx 🤣🌈🧚‍♀️

Factz

Can't be the GOAT with one flow

Nas

Gotta throw Rakim in there

@@AceSinna can be the goat with timeless classic songs

Imagine Will Smith on Reasonable doubt?

Blue print weak

His best album by far to me was the blueprint and reasonable doubt

I love Nas...But Fight the Power is the most important song in Hip Hop history.

There is no greatest rapper, there's too many different preferences.

@@WayynePain Yeah u buggin

Fam I tried to tell people that argue nas isn’t the greatest or at best top 2 that if I ruled the world is one of the main reasons if you just sit back and listen to how he shares on how his interpretation of a perfect world would be like is phenomenal then to make it extra dope he shows his love and respect to some of the forefathers of hip hop kurtis blow with the hook and whodini with the sample and the beautiful Lauren hill another revolutionary top 2 female emcee ever singing the hook this is the definition of a perfect hip hop song I’m sorry nothing JAY-Z, B.I.G., pac, em or anybody ever spit is better then the second verse of this song nothing

@@jemelmoore7329 Summer of 89 that song was banging every where. Do The Right Thing was out.

my first album had no famous guest appearances. the outcome... I'm crowned the best lyricist - nas

😂

greyfoxblade what’s funny lyricist and mc’c 1 rakim 2 nas 3 biggie 4 jay five 2pac

There u go, finally somebody talking with sense🙏🏽👍🏽

True I just mentioned KGR will bury fif if it's about rapping with a lysp G rap will make fif look stupid

And thats not even on some, "Oh I'm a creative chameleon." It really is that he just don't got it like that.

And on another, simpler note: Rap was a better hustle than drugs (that's how we got Ice-T who was straight pimpin').

LL COOL J NAS 2pac Biggie Rakim Can all make song on their own and stand off there own energy

You gotta look at how far he’s gone in the business as well unfortunately pac and biggie didn’t get the chance to excel in the music business then spring off to clothing alcohol and the list goes on his the goat what you saying and I’m not a jay z fan I definitely respect and admire how he’s grabbed a hold of his life and own it bro you buggin

@@papicryptocraven797 what does business have to do with rapping the title is Jay is not the greatest rapper

He ain't say that lmaooooo

Reasonable doubt and blueprint but America gangster was tight

American gangsta was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

I wouldn't say it was his second best but I think it was a legitimate 4 mic album

Hello vol 1- vol 3 is wayyyy better

That album sucked dawg. Roc Boyz and I pray was biggie's throw away records that he had for life after death.

Vol 1 performed better that Reasonable Doubt because of Tupac dissing him.

I can feel the disdain in his voice. What has he done for the culture "Trasheno"

50cent finally said it:he never really sold or had impact.u ride all the temporary impactful waves throughout the years,and just stay average,then years later...look the all fell off I’m still here I’m the goat,it’s genius.

Jarrel Ely facts are all them in they prime outsold him 400Degreez:5x platinum Vol.2 2x platinum Dmx flesh of my flesh/it’s dark 2 albums in the same year over 5xplatinium.he sold 10 million in 98 jay the only sold 2 Not talking about who you like or who can rap the best,he even knew they had the best impact that’s why jay is on juvenile 400 degrees when it’s sounds out of place,that’s why “What’s my name” by jay z is on ruff ryders 1st compilation.

I agree and I actually like a lot of Jay Z's music.

I think Jay has better music over an extended period than LL, Kane and Rakim... LL has 2 classic albums and one very good album... a whole bunch of hit singles, but a whole bunch of album flops, too... after the early '90s, he became boring. Kane has one classic album and one good album... he tried to be a lover/playboy like LL and came out sounding way corny... he's definitely an architect like LL for his '80s output, but his overall career is pretty bland. Rakim has 3 classic albums with Eric B., but a lackluster solo career... he and Kane had the best two songs on the Juice soundtrack, though, but after Let the Rhythm Hit Em, his career kinda tapered off to me. Jay has one bonafide classic and 2 arguable classic albums, so 1-3 classics, depending on who you ask.. he also has several good albums and several mediocre albums... his output is greater than the others because he released 10 albums in like 10 years... he also has a slew of hit singles and he has been able to remain relevant over 3 different decades, which is something that the other MCs on your list failed to do

Blueprint 2 was hard kingdom come ify blueprint 3 ify but resonabl doubt classic vol 1 classic vol 3 classic blueprint 1 classic black album classic only 2 contesting hov pen is big and big L .... Big L didn't get to drop a album but you can tell from the 97 freestyle hov and big got they styles from him ready to die big got busy but life after has never been touched and that was 97 which is. Why i say hov to rich to get ahead of these waves cause big and hov obviously got hold of that style before big L got to use it but hov was fone sign him before he died and big probably wanted to atleast put him on so its not a mark against them for it

Prove this please smh

Am I the lazy one or you🤔? Should I prove it or should you do your own research, just check his career time line and how his style changes depending on who’s around him, from Big to Pac to Chriss

Frank V nigga jayz a revolutionary. Roc a fella was a revolution. There was no bigger movement for hip hop then roc a fella. He was able to revolutionize rap music as being the first main stream rapper to apply the business side to his own rap label vs other rappers who were just employed. Ie clothing line, shoes, major sponsorships, movies, alcohol etc. roc a fella tour was the biggest rap tour of all time. fuck is you talking about. Now you see every rapper these days following the same trends JAY-Z set 20 plus years ago. Now rappers are more in tune these days of the business side of the music industry and pivoting towards other business ventures outside of rap because of jay so htf are you mentioning young Chris in the same breath as jay? jayz is a spokesperson for hustlers, first rapper to low key create “hustler music” he made that lane.anywayws you said he stole young Chris identity? What identity does young Chris have ? Are you smokin crack?

6 ft. Under where he got slumped down🤣
