they probably could if they were signed to a major, had promotion like jay through mags, tv, interviews, clothing lines, etc...their independant and the world isnt ready for them. they prefer weak shit like chingy, nelly, j-kwon, and jayz. em can even fit in with them at times, nas stays real. make any of those 3 a hot beat like the ones jay gets and see how they ride it with a lot more meaning full and lyrical content compared to your beloved jay. slug did good on Modern Mans Hustle which i thought sounded a lil commercial. but unfortuanly he cant get beats like that all the time or have the equipemtn/producers who can. until then, they wont put an album universally accepted bcuz of all that and i can deal with it. being accepted by 12 yr olds and sales obviously matter to u, good for u. to me, jay is like the dumb commercial version of immortal technique, both cant ride beats. list as many songs as u want, call me when he can do it through a whole album.

comparing nelly, j-kwon, and chingy, to jay? LOL. the only thing they have in common is that they are mainstream artists. nas best flows were on iww, and they still arent as good as jays best. substance doesnt mean shit when it comes to mcing. the perfect example is 92-96 redman. great lyricism, great albums. im sick of people on this board trying to use substance as a crutch. and when did i say sales mattered to me? stop putting words into my mouth. im not a fucking dickrider. if its not my money, i dont care how much they are selling. and he already did it through an entire album, it was called reasonable doubt. he hit the underground and mainstream with tracks for that album.

Hahahaha, thats a joke.
Don Breezio:
i really can't disagree with that ^^^^^....not that jay-z is better than 2pac lyrically or whatever but i'll say he's right there with him....i listen to a lot more jay than i do 2pac...i have a lot of albums by both but in the end i just feel jay-z has the all around package (when it comes down to the 2 of them....there are a few others i would say the same about)
however 7even.....i wouldnt call slug anywhere near 2pac....dont get me wrong i love slug...i have all the atmosphere albums, i the slug/murs album....seen him in concert.....great mc and i listen to atmosphere way more than 2pac....but the thing is that slug and 2pac are 2 entirely different styles of hip hop....jay-z/pac is a little easier to compare...i would say both had just as much talent....but honestly pac had the whole package compared to slug...there are a lot of atmosphere songs i dont like (and there are a lot of 2pac songs i dont like)....and as much as i love atmosphere....i cant bring myself to compare slug to 2pac....
