Hi Bobby Earl. Jay Z is not the owner...how vain of him to even think that. Jay Z has learned how to PLAY the game extremely well, but I shant say he has the ability to own the hip hop game----hip hop goes FAR beyond Roc A Fella or Jay Z's-disrespectin'-women ass. He's actually quite normal...there's nothing abnormal about him---what does he really do that no one else really does? I'd say nothing.
Now, uh...okay, you're absolutely correct Jay Z is 36, but back in the 80s he wasn't on top of his game...he was hustlin' and he made it to being Jazz's sidekick. His flow was a lot faster and different...but Jazz is the Originator of that. Nas is A LOT younger and has been in the actual rap game longer. Jay said it himself...Nas has been in it 10 and Jay has been in it 5. Who cares who's albums were hotter---it's not about what you know but who you know (producers, record company, promotion, etc.). I don't think Jay Z knows a whole lot...we're completely OVERestimating him...but he knows the right people. I'm not mad at him for that, but let's not pretend as if he's doing some stuff that has never been done before. One day (and someday soon, I hope) there will be another MC who everyone's sweatin' like they're sweatin' Jay Z---it's cyclical.

NAS can flow no doubt. NAS has been around the rap industry a little while, also. However Jigga is a grown man (Young VITO voice of the young people). Jigga says that he plays for the team he owns. CAN YOU FEEL THAT! That is the difference between a man and a boy. NAS needs to sit his little young ___ down somewhere and stick to what he knows best, rapping! Jigga has been on his grind since the 80's when NAS was probably wearing Superfriend pajamas with a matching lunchbox.
Nas is like Iverson (player). 
Hove is like Jordan (owner). 
You tell me the difference.
Oh by the way... Hello lovely ladies of DST. I really miss talking to yall (especially a12deltanu94dst).
