GuEsStStAr:
I thought we were jus discussin bout the music...
Jigga has a much bigger empire no doubt...but I don't think that makes him the King of New York...

You are of course aware that Nas's debut sold 1 million, Jay's debut barely went platinum.... while 50's official debut currently is at 6 million, and rising...
That's more than ANY of Jay-Z and Nas albums, in comparison.
He can get hella big.. and he got the talent for it too.

Other than his solo-albums, what's really popping with him..
Ill Will Records ??
The Bravehearts ??
Lmao.. nothing really.
Jay-Z's empire in 50x times bigger.. Roc-a-fella, Roc-a-wear, movies, shoes, Cognac, etc... he got everything poppin off.. it's impossible to deny his empire.
One can discuss Nas vs. Jay-Z albums into eternity, but when it comes to running shit.. they don't get much bigger than Jigga.
Even Snoop Dogg is a small-time hustla compared to Jay-Z.. as he says himself:
I'm tryina build a Dynasty like Jigga, my nigga
Sixty seven-figure, you dig it ?

based on that i would agree jay-z is bigger...but i think jay-z is more quanity than quality...jay may have more but nas has better quality to his music. and jigga has had about as many movies as nas has. but yeah jigga's roster on the roc is much better than ill will (mop, twista, cam'ron, young gunz, etc...), i really didnt think about that jome...i'm going to say that jay is the king as far as having the most power, nas is the king in having the best quality shit.

thats why i said as far as sales and shit 50 is king...but 50s talent is nothing compared to nas or jay....50 has the talent to be as good as both...but he doesnt use it...so to me 50 wont be king until he can use his full potential and still sell that many albums...besides...debut albums never sell that much unless you're eminem (who sold so much cuz he's white...i hate to say it but its true) or 50 cent who had tremendous credit for being an underground rapper before he even signed to aftermath.
