The best rapper alive who is still part street and part mainstream. He's got hits that they play on the radio often, then hes got hits that they never play. Overall, he's the most respected in the underground and he's still got some in mainstream.
And by the way, anyone who says Jay ripped Nas is riding some dick or works for Hot 97, or A and B

"Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly?
Well life is hard, hug me, don't reject me
Or make records to disrespect me, blatent or indirectly
In '88 you was gettin chased through your buildin
Callin my crib and I ain't even give you my numbers
All I did was gave you a style for you to run with"
"I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class
You Tae-bo hoe, tryna' work it out, you tryna' get brolic?
Ask me if I'm tryna' kick knowledge
Nah, I'm tryna' kick the shit you need to learn though
That ether, that shit that make your soul burn slow
Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy?
Oh, I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy
Rockafeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?
Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas"

a true street poet. his words are from the heart. he is a reinterpretation of the homeric tradition of story-telling through the worded rhythmic beat. incorporates standardization of african beat-rhymes, with hard talk and memories of the ghetto in modern america. challenges what is "modern" and what is "america" through lyrical realism. his his words are vivid stories. create pictures. in my head. amazing...
"In 400 years, historians will look at Nas as someone who not only redefined music and rap, but also had a hand in restructuring the entire artistic construction within western metaphysics, by challenging traditional artistic principles of rhythm and form."
