what year was he the NICEST

not selling the most records

not getting the most radio play

not having the most videos in rotation

when was he killin the mic

and doin it on a level that no other MC was seeing

"Jay is the father and midwife to a lot of niggaz styles in the game now"

and you already pointed how BIG birthed his style

so...

"the best in the game is more a matter of personal preference than fact."

the best in the game at what though

selling records

or rippin mics

I guess if you have to think about who's a better MC between KRS and Jay, that's more of an indication of your personal preference
