I think Nas has stayed more consistent (as a rapper and not necessarily a songwriter (except for these releases from LIG so far)) than Jay-Z has. Jay doesn't use a lot of the qualities that made Reasonable Doubt a strong release anymore. So I'm anticipating Life Is Good a lot more than Jay's new album (whenever that's actually coming out).

I tend to agree with you. I like both Nas and Jay but overall I think Nas has been more consistent
