"When I had the opportunity to shake your hand Jay-z, I said, "Your one of the greatest and do not let anyone tell you different." Jay-z you will always be number one in my eyes......"To dropping some of the hottest verses rappers ever heard!"
I don't get why people get touchy when Jay thinks he's the Greatest. But he still thinks BIG is at the same time. It's like if I rap I want to be the best ever, but i will never say I'm better than Jay. (My Fav Rapper)
Jay-z's intellegence makes him sexy...50cent is not attractive to me he kinda acts like a childbut he has money. Jay-z seems like he respects women and can just hold an intellegent conversation
jay-z is 1 of the most intellegent rappers today he said it in an interview that his old upcoming albums were meant to express his life and his lifestyle once he got his story across he was able to do w/e also knowing that his career was at an all time high which is y he retired then came back 3 years later knowing that once he came back he would sell millions and also being an incredible album.....that right there is intellegent as well as his lyrics rap is based upon ego even back then
I used to not like rap and my lil brother started rapping at around 10 and on every talent show he did he would close his rap with "if you ain't jay-z you ain't topping me" and the ppl would go crazy...
I think Pac is the best persona in Hip Hop. People were enamored by the personality he had and the realness of his words, but overall Pac is an average rapper (I agree). Jay and Big definitely surpasses him lyrically. I look at Pac as more of a poetic who tried to convey his point, instead of being fly. But it is what it is Jay+Big+Pac= Greatest rappers of all time
@TheFlogame First of all he doesn't have a lot, he's one of the most consistent rappers ever. His first three albums are all classics and he dropped them one after the next, that's incredible. Secondly, even if he had 5 albums worth of trash, that doesn't mean he can't be THE BEST. It's not sports, we're talking art. Technique and execution, somebody can be the best when they're at their best. It's what they do when they're good that counts.
Pac and Big were great in their time, you can't deny that, but it's funny how everyone is like "yo if big and pac was alive, half these rappers wouldn't be around", I really dont know what that means......Let them dudes rest in peace, we can't keep comparing everything to them, no one knows if they still lived if they woulda been as great as they were, they best thing that can happen to a rappers career is tragedy early...sad to say but true, cause then theres nothing to compare to.. my opinion
Greatest Rappers Ever - DEAD OR ALIVE # 1 TUPAC SHAKUR # 2 JAY Z # 3 Lil Wayne # 4 Biggie Smalls # 5 SCARFACE # 6 NAS # 7 Eminem # 8 UGK # 9 OUTKAST # 10 Snoop Dogg Honorable Mention --- Any1 you can think of that didnt make this list .
u should really listen to alot of his stuff his metaphors and lyrics his flow his swag in general is genius...he has a right to have a big ego 11 consecutive #1 albums he is pretty much already claimed the king of hip hop and nobody can take that crown from him
I really don't like anybody being compared to BIG....because he was only around for 2 albums I don't think that's alot of credit. Luda, Em, Jay-Z and even Kanye West is better than that.
She's beautiful and a legend. I like she's no "Ego" type of person, also she sure did came a long way. I love these segments and miss it and man this was what? 06-07? I'm of course of fan of Jay and he's very creative and every little thing even a hat. I love Nas and that beef was super legendary, also people didn't take Hov "Lost" all big time certain people due him being a legend regardless. Ether was crazy, though! Damn!
@MoneyR8 Yes, sadly, women are judged almost exclusively on their physical attributes (looks), whereas men are valued relative to their success. So, a woman's looks may fade as she ages while a man's wealth/status generally improves (a guy has more at 40 than he had at 20, but most women don't look better at 40 than they did at 20). A "baller" will stop to holler at some cutie at a bus stop, ask for the digits & even take her out. Yet, many women won't date a guy who rides the bus (has no car)!!
so because he is mainstream it means he isnt real? jay is real and he is mainstream probably 1 of the realist jus cuz ur mainstream dosnt mean ur not real... nas is 1 of the best but all nas really has is lyrics jay has flow lyrics ill metaphors and has great swag so u cant argue against jay and nas....nas is very intelligent and beat jay in the beef but jay came back and made an impact even after he lost
@azr786 lets make this simple... what album has pharo monch put out that can compete with "reasonable doubt"?..if you dont respect reasonable doubt this 8th grade hip hop debate is over
@azr786 etheris one of my fav diss tracks ever but i honestly like jays "the take over" better...no need to diss each other, we are both fans that know our hip hop..alot of my boys would agree with u on this subject and alot with me,so i guess we have to agree to disagree...i grew up with hip hop its part of my city's culture, neither one of us have the right to name a number 1...i know you know your rap, i like debating music its fun...peace out kid, best of luck to ya
i might be young but i kno hip hop,and i dont think its rite to compare every rapper that comes out to pac and big.yes they were great for there time,but i think jay-z isnt just the best rapper alive but the best rapper period. plus how can you compare so someone with one album to someone with 11 albums and counting?

The shape of Jay's face is just perfect. The nose, lips, jawline... everything just complements the other parts.
those are the 6 rings jordans he was rockin......
jay-z is fine to me his swag and his smile is so sexy
YES. Jay is gorgeous... can't tell me NOTHIN'!
"When I had the opportunity to shake your hand Jay-z, I said, "Your one of the greatest and do not let anyone tell you different." Jay-z you will always be number one in my eyes......"To dropping some of the hottest verses rappers ever heard!"
LOL at the Queen La commercial
I don't get why people get touchy when Jay thinks he's the Greatest. But he still thinks BIG is at the same time. It's like if I rap I want to be the best ever, but i will never say I'm better than Jay. (My Fav Rapper)
he is jus so humble jeez
jay -z swagger is the business.. he is a funny dude and I love to hear him speak..
Look at the leg swingin the smiles the inside jokes you know they been intimate many of times
Jay-z's intellegence makes him sexy...50cent is not attractive to me he kinda acts like a childbut he has money. Jay-z seems like he respects women and can just hold an intellegent conversation
pac honestly trancended hiphop- hes a face for the culture. these other dudes are just following him culture wise. music, style and movies
This guy is flirting lowkeyyy openly.. you can feel it.. I still love him though
this was before jay z was stupid fuckin rich and powerful like he is now u can def see the dif in the years
lmao "sell my kids?"
that's what i thought she was gonna say too lol
LMFAO sell my kids? xDDD jay is the best
jay-z is 1 of the most intellegent rappers today he said it in an interview that his old upcoming albums were meant to express his life and his lifestyle once he got his story across he was able to do w/e also knowing that his career was at an all time high which is y he retired then came back 3 years later knowing that once he came back he would sell millions and also being an incredible album.....that right there is intellegent as well as his lyrics rap is based upon ego even back then
Did they get it on after this!!!!!
and so is big. people have a right to say who they think is better, whether they're alive or deceased.
I used to not like rap and my lil brother started rapping at around 10 and on every talent show he did he would close his rap with "if you ain't jay-z you ain't topping me" and the ppl would go crazy...

I look at Pac as more of a poetic who tried to convey his point, instead of being fly.
But it is what it is
Jay+Big+Pac= Greatest rappers of all time
it doesn't surprise me that she got jay z on her show she has been close to him for many years.
CCO didn't she mean CEO of Roc A Fella?
she got alot of respect from this interview, I bet a big reason is because she keeps her legs closed...
"sell my kids?" lmao jay z great the only part i didnt really like was when he said me and big one two ..
quality over quantity...if rakim and krs one says he is the greatest then he is the greatest. period
what beat is that playing in the beggening somone let me know
So what?He will still be better than 99% of us at his 81 years old.....
lol he said "u dont have to be
politically correct"
i love him wow
Me on the Honorable Mention lol
Love my up north men!!!!!
her shoes are killin'
Jay-You know-Z
wow blueprint3 went diamond 5x thats crazy

@TheFlogame First of all he doesn't have a lot, he's one of the most consistent rappers ever. His first three albums are all classics and he dropped them one after the next, that's incredible.
Secondly, even if he had 5 albums worth of trash, that doesn't mean he can't be THE BEST. It's not sports, we're talking art. Technique and execution, somebody can be the best when they're at their best. It's what they do when they're good that counts.
mmmm no the reason he gets money is cuz he is the king of hip hop
at 5:01 what kinda shoes is he wearing!? look like the 11's?
Would I selleri My children? Haha, priceless
actually he turns 40 this year
thats jay-z he can talk with his mouth closed if he wants!
JAY Z'S KINDA HUMBLE AND SEEMS COOL BUT HE HAS ANOTHER SIDE TO HIM.
Pac and Big were great in their time, you can't deny that, but it's funny how everyone is like "yo if big and pac was alive, half these rappers wouldn't be around", I really dont know what that means......Let them dudes rest in peace, we can't keep comparing everything to them, no one knows if they still lived if they woulda been as great as they were, they best thing that can happen to a rappers career is tragedy early...sad to say but true, cause then theres nothing to compare to.. my opinion

lil wayne and nas shouldn't be anywhere near that list.
with that being said crown jay z and move one.......
@7rancisco1 It's called "Swag" homey. Women aren' as visually oriented as we are.
speaking of rude, hes talking with food in his mouth!!
u should really listen to alot of his stuff his metaphors and lyrics his flow his swag in general is genius...he has a right to have a big ego 11 consecutive #1 albums he is pretty much already claimed the king of hip hop and nobody can take that crown from him
I really don't like anybody being compared to BIG....because he was only around for 2 albums I don't think that's alot of credit. Luda, Em, Jay-Z and even Kanye West is better than that.
jigga is number 1 of all time ..u want me to prove it??

@RayMagic92 you know what jay and pac didnt like each other right? I mean as a real hiphop fan you know that.

Where is her show aired
what is the song starting at 0:16???
i be tryin to tell these people..how u da greatest n u had 2 albums?
If I was Jay, I'd be trying to "pull up" (rush dat AZZ) after the show :)
Me and Jay’s top 2 are the same. Except Big is 1a and Hov is 1b in my opinion
She's beautiful and a legend. I like she's no "Ego" type of person, also she sure did came a long way. I love these segments and miss it and man this was what? 06-07? I'm of course of fan of Jay and he's very creative and every little thing even a hat. I love Nas and that beef was super legendary, also people didn't take Hov "Lost" all big time certain people due him being a legend regardless. Ether was crazy, though! Damn!
Maybe she's just in ahh of her favorite rapper
its real... I'm proud of her...
@MoneyR8 Yes, sadly, women are judged almost exclusively on their physical attributes (looks), whereas men are valued relative to their success.

beyonce is a much nicer person though, and that's more important.
Why does it seem like hov's air jordan bred 6 rings look so much more polished than any other pair i have seen lol.. smh
@jacobfkarlsson bey and jay are going to have like... little angels for kids. Jay IS priceless "That's just rude." ha! it was.
@1911sFINEST perfectly said.
yessir!!!
@EvilTurt
and ur point is
without rakim there is no biggie
can some1 tell me the name of the beat in the begging
Not really hey, she treats 50 with respect...*$S-T*
how old is jay z
@Bones1028 thx u
"thats just rude"
haha
I like Slim Shady and Nas, but Like HoV say, "MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, $ DON'T!" Them dudes cant make as many albums and SELL which is the main GOAl!
he embarrassed her lol
so because he is mainstream it means he isnt real? jay is real and he is mainstream probably 1 of the realist jus cuz ur mainstream dosnt mean ur not real... nas is 1 of the best but all nas really has is lyrics jay has flow lyrics ill metaphors and has great swag so u cant argue against jay and nas....nas is very intelligent and beat jay in the beef but jay came back and made an impact even after he lost
@azr786 lets make this simple... what album has pharo monch put out that can compete with "reasonable doubt"?..if you dont respect reasonable doubt this 8th grade hip hop debate is over
Without eric b there is no rakim.
@bobdacreepable
pharoh monchs album intenal affairs!! especially "simon says" & the remix! too good and much better than jay z's reasonable doubt!
@azr786 etheris one of my fav diss tracks ever but i honestly like jays "the take over" better...no need to diss each other, we are both fans that know our hip hop..alot of my boys would agree with u on this subject and alot with me,so i guess we have to agree to disagree...i grew up with hip hop its part of my city's culture, neither one of us have the right to name a number 1...i know you know your rap, i like debating music its fun...peace out kid, best of luck to ya
angie fine as hell
@ferndog681 stop it white boy, even Eminem called Jay-z his second best rapper after Redman.
i might be young but i kno hip hop,and i dont think its rite to compare every rapper that comes out to pac and big.yes they were great for there time,but i think jay-z isnt just the best rapper alive but the best rapper period. plus how can you compare so someone with one album to someone with 11 albums and counting?
thats just rude!!!! just rude!
