No. That's a weak pair for comparison too, keep it NY and say Big L + BIG > Nas + Jay (talent-wise aka: better rappers) Discography ? I see your point, but I doubt it would be true if both didn't get gunned down so early.
I never get tired of watching Jay-Z get BODIED by Big L on that 7 minute freestyle. Classic. Had dude making noises and !%*@ to fill his time slot
That freestyle was in '95, when Jay was recording RD (his best work) and he still got destroyed....
na it's not about NY..
generally, if you ask someone who's in their top 5, nas, jay, 2pac and big are usually in there..
lyrically, i feel Nas is the GOAT. but as a whole; the best ARTIST has to go to 2pac and that is simply because of the passion, emotion, and the little act he was putting on for suge while he was at deathrow..that made him the face of hiphop forever.
but i just feel like as rappers..putting words together, making albums and having quality material, pac and big aren't even close to nas and jay..i know that has alot to do because their lives were cut short but that's the way the cards was delt..
