In what way? They are both regarded as all time greats....What Jay has been able to do outside of music (his business acumen is impressive) is dope and should be lauded...

But I'm looking at this from an skill/artistic/overall impact viewpoint...Both Jay and Nas are on equal footing in that regard...Hell, some may even say Nas has had a bigger lyrical impact than Jay, but that's another post...
