Ghost while a personal favorite doesn’t hVe enough to go against Hov. The people on that list have massive hits. Ghost doesn’t. Funny thing I was just back stage with Ghost/Rae and Gza like a month ago in Tampa. Good brothers.

Ghost is kinda the next level below this one far as mass appeal

We are talking about 20 to 25 songs, not a 100 song verses or career or total amount of commercial hits. Yes, Jay Z has bigger commercial hits than Ghostface, but didn't Dip Set have bigger hits than the Lox? And they got bodied on stage in their backyard.

Ghostface can easily put together 20 classic/commercial/ verses/songs.

Go on YouTube, search Ghostface or Busta a videos. People will be surprised of the hits they rapped on, just forgot. Nas got a whole lotta shit people forgot about too.

Nas, Dre, Drake could jump him if he feels strong enough to take on all 3

To think about it, nobody wants to see Lil Wayne out there...

What happens when the beat for A Milli, 6 foot 7 foot, Swagga Like Us, Back that Azz Up, Lollipop, Hustler Muzik or any of a thousand other #1 features drops...

Jay is not dipset..... They failed because they did not execute not because they didnt have the body of work. The Lox come from The Biggie / JayZ Tree. No comparison cause if you know you know.. Dipset been paper champs to cats who know.

Again you talking feature verses and as I said Im a Ghost fan, and I dont need to look up verses from cats. I was on a college baseball trip when I was playing scenario in the back of the van lol.

You can not put together a SOLID 20 the the WORLD knows of Ghostface songs. Now NY and Hip Hop heads... sure.. I think The Wizadry album is Ghost best work. I know cats dont like Jay and some of the things he has done but yoooooo the brother has 25 years of street, club, chicks, commercial, battle songs. I just give the man his props that all.

Jay-Z needs to stop sucking his own dick. Don’t talk about, be about it. I’m tired of this “I’m too good for anything” ass nigga, mayne. Ain’t nobody in rap bigger than the rap game. Either stand on your shit or stop talkin.

There are plenty of artist to run up against him. I’ve seen quite a few named. Don’t get me wrong though because Jay-Z is that dude, but he need to come down off that Beyoncé ass he sniffing.

Ghost not even the most known Wu member.... Fam I love Wu as I said earlier I just chopped it up with them... Rae was like yo Ghost want to steal your Wallys, I have the cork joints...

BUT.... Go back and look at Ghost Vs Rae.... he doesnt have enough appeal to stand toe to toe with jay.

Some people just don't know how to separate facts over feelings. I'm more of a Nas fan, than a Jay Z fan but I know Jay has more in the cannon than Nas. That's just the reality.

For all my Busta fans. Lil experiment. Go ask a lady in your life to name you a Busta song and see what you come up wth.
You are correct. Again, that lady won’t tune into that hypothetical verzuz, so who cares what she thinks. That input is applicable making a playlist for a drive OT, but in this format the fans with knowledge of the catalog is all that counts.

Its a 20 song battle, not a total catalog career battle.

Jay Z definitely can put together 100 to 150 songs more solid than them.

20 songs, is like a 3 round boxing match, not a 15 round fight.

I can easily choose 20-25 solid tracks from Ghostface, Nas, and Busta.

Out of the Verses I have seen, I have seen each artist leave off a lot of classic shit out of their battles.

Once again it's about the impact of the songs that you have in the catalog.
If I have an arsenal that larger than yours and put together my top 20 and you put together your top 20. The fact is I am more than likely able to put together a better top 20 than you are. It's like putting together a best of album.
Now personally I may like Nas best of Album over Jay's. Yet the fact remains that's my personal choice. The same way I tend to like B sides of albums (album hits) vs the commercial hits.

Jay Z only has a few great albums, a lot of average albums. Play Jay Z on Spotify, you gonna be skipping a lot of his shit, can't play non stop.

I am bigger Jay Z fan as anybody, I am also his harshest critic.

He got a lot of misses, with those hits.

That's your personal take. I know someone who'd tell you the exact opposite.
Yet what it comes down to is the choice of the masses vs our personal choice.

A lot of young people, majority of music listeners don't give a fuck about Jay Z's music.

I only listen to his OLD shit, nothing really from the last 15 years. He is a good business man, but nowhere near what his dick riders think.

They in love with his aura and his money.

Same here, I like Nas, more, shit I was crying on the inside when DMX passed because I honestly think X was the realest Super star we will ever see.

But Jay is the Goat, he has it all. The only mark on his jacket is Nasty Nas spanked him...
