Rashid Kay Dragged Following His Remarks On Who He’s A Better Lyricist Between Jay-Z & Nas. The world of hip-hop has always been rife with debates and discussions about who holds the title of the greatest lyricist.
Recently, South African hip-hop artist Rashid Kay ignited a firestorm of controversy with his remarks comparing two legendary figures in the rap game: Jay-Z and Nas. This came after the SA rapper and media personality stated that lyrically Jay-Z is basic compared to his fellow rapper Nas. “Lyrically Jay is basic, nothing to go over heads.” Tweeted Rashid.
As opinions run wild and emotions flared, Rashid’s remarks were made to face backlashes but he remained steadfast with his opinion. He further illustrated that Jay-Z is not a bad lyricist, but he believes there are other rappers who are better than him. “Jay is not bad but I know at least 10 MCs that are lyrically more superior than Hov,” Rashid added in a tweet.
Rashid Kay’s remarks were met with both agreement and vehement disagreement. Hip-hop fans, artists, and critics weighed in on Twitter, sharing their thoughts on who they believe is the superior lyricist. While healthy debates are a hallmark of hip-hop culture, the conversation quickly turned heated, with some accusing Rashid Kay of undermining the legacy of Jay-Z.
Jay-Z has achieved monumental success throughout his career. From his early days in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects to becoming a business mogul and cultural icon, Jay-Z’s impact on the music industry is undeniable. His lyricism often blends intricate wordplay with insightful storytelling, covering topics ranging from street life to social commentary.
on the other hand, Nas is hailed for his exceptional debut album “Illmatic,” often regarded as a masterpiece of storytelling and lyricism. Nas’s ability to paint vivid pictures of life in the streets, systemic oppression, and personal struggles through his lyrics has earned him a dedicated fanbase.
