Jay-Z is NaS

Jay-Z Is NaS?

At any given moment in any part of the globe, one in four groups of hip hop heads are arguing over whose the better emcee: Jay-Z or NaS. After hours of arguing, this group will usually come to the conclusion that there is no best, but only one’s personal favorite. Still, there are some groups that will never come to any conclusion and still hold to their beliefs that one is better than the other. We at iHEARTdilla would like to argue that Jay-Z and NaS are the same person. Observe:

THE SUBLIMINAL 50 CENT SHOT:

Jay-Z: “Mess wit Jigga yo ass is dense. I’m about a dollar what the fuck is 50 cent?”

-'Some Like It Hot'

NaS: “Take 27 emcees, put them in a line and
they out of alignment
my assignment
since he said retirement hiding behind 8 Mile
and The Chronic, Get's Rich But Dies Rhymin'
this is high science.
Now add 23 more
from Queens to B-more,
I’m over they heads
like a bulimic on a see-saw.
Now that’s 50 porch monkeys ate up at the same time” – 'Queens Get the Money'


LET’S TALK BLASPHEMOUS :

Jay-Z: “Do You Believe it’s Hova tha God”- 'Hova Song'

NaS: “When I was 12 went to hell for snuffin Jesus”- 'Live at the Barbeque'

LET’S TALK MONEY:

Jay-Z- “You bare money. I’m all year money. I’m Poppy you ain't gotta count it it’s all there money”- 'Imaginary Player'

NaS: “The don, all the time, with all the shine, you small time, I ball with mine, links, minks, Bentley, it's all with mine”- 'Owe Me Back'

LET’S TALK GANGSTER:

Jay-Z: “I put that knife in ya. Take a little bit of life from ya. Am I frightening ya? Shall I continue? I put the gun to ya; I let it sing you a song. I let it hum to ya, the other one sing a long"

-'Threats'

NaS: “But just a nigga, walking with his finger on the trigger make enough figures until my pockets get bigger I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testing give me a Smith and Wessun I'll have niggaz undressin. Thinkin of cash flow, Buddha and shelter. Whenever frustrated I'ma hijack Delta”- 'New York State of Mind'

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE STREETS:

Jay-Z: “This shit is wicked on these mean streets, none of my friends speak
We're all tryin' to win, but then again maybe it's for the best though, 'cause when they're seein' too much, you know they're tryin' to get you touched.
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out couldn't understand the
Mechanics and the workings of the underworld, granted
nine to five is how to survive, I ain't tryin' to survive, I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and love it a lot”- 'D’evils'

NaS: “Yo, release what's in me besides the Henny, it's eyes that's seen plenty fiends get skinny as if Queens was a Craig Jenny. Instead of diet plans it's crack 200 grams. I pump a G-pack, peeping for where the D's at, it's slow, lookin for Rambo, the cop who got grazed back in the days, chasin niggaz through my project maze”- 'Shootouts'

We can go on and on. The similarities between the two are uncanny. With that said, to hate one is to hate the other.

NaS and Jay-Z are the same person.
