the only reason Mos would lose this is because he’s mad intelligent and most negroes ain’t gon catch what he speakin.

Need more Swagger ??? LOL get the f**k outta here… Mos Is a BEAST. He would tear Wayne a new a*****e lol. Jay-z?? Well, depends on which Jay show up lol… Jay-Z circa Streets is watchin’ vs Mos… wow that would be a toss up.

I forgot to add. Mad props to Mos for having the SWAGG to call these 2-3 cats out. Thats what hiphop is about. You spit your best s**t, i spit mine, and I will take ALL COMERS.

Much love, eternal.

Ummmm… 3000 might dig off in dat ass sumpn terrible! But Mos is so cold, I’m not sure.

And Busta’, Meth or Red might shut it down! But I would like to see Mos Def go against Hollowman or Immortal technique.

MOS DEF WILL GIVE THEM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MR SOUTHERN LOGIK

1st of all he’s drunk ass eff lol/but yeah mos would kill them/at the same time/3000…ehhh i’d like to say it i dont kno where my money’d go/but got dammit i wish people acknowledged battles like they used instead of waitin for corporate to okay the battle o well

Say this who ever win can’t stop there, because its more than those three rappers out there claiming their the best.

Man, lil wayne would get his ass cooked! but jay-z, i dunno. NAS terminated his ass in ether and i dare anybody to challenge me on that he didn’t! jay saya/said some good stuff too but he’s not a battle rapper. point blank. he’s clever though with the wordplay

lol the comments are hilarious. When has mos def been a punchline rapper? Sure he can freestyle and flow in his sleep, but battle rapping? I think not. It has evolved and its not like when mos was in his prime

mos would kill jay & wayne at the same time but andre will eat his lunch 4real.

Mos would kill 95% of rappers out there today. I mean your talking about an MC that came in the game when you had to have talent to make it in rap…and he did it independently.

Man, listen…Pac is gone, rap is bulls**t now…too many chumps running around taling about they’re the best, but NOBODY ever battles anymore…and that’s one of the main foundations of rap…

I don’t even know if I have anymore respect for Mos Def or anybody like him, but I’m gonna give this one to him. Dudes like Jay Z are bringing s**t down because they flat out RUN from battles unless dudes put money on the table. That’s some real b***h s**t. Give rap back to the f**king fans where it belongs…

I have an idea…since these clowns wanna put money up…how about each and every rapper out there running their beaks about being the best or whatever reserve Madison Square Garden and have a f**king TOURNAMENT just like the one HBO had called Blaze Battle. Put about $5 million up for the winner and lets see who really is the king of wherever the f**k they’re from.

I’m talking Wayne, Jay Z, Nas, Mos Def, 50 Cent, Game, just about ALL these fools from the south, Snoop, LL (yes, LL), DMX (whenever the hell he gets out), and about anybody else out there yapping about being the best in rap. I don’t care if they call themselves established, f**k it…bring all their asses out and lets finally end the debate…

But yeah, I give mos def points for this one…everybody wants to see a battle…

mos is a beast but 2 put him, jay, n weezy in the same category is crazy. they r 2 different. but imma say this mos ain’t seein common, Talib, n Lupe simple as that

For those of you who seem to forget what Lil Wayne does when motivated, i kindly point you to da carter 2 and drought 3. He had a mission to known as the best and he accomplished that. In this 3 way battle, I would put my money on him just because he’s not stopping until e’s known as the best. He’ll never battle Jay because of the mutual respect for one another, but he’d battle Mos def. He better come correct though cuz Mos Def is a beast!

The carter 2 is def Gillie the Kid playa so he wayne is not the best

WAYNE REALLY ISNT ALL THAT….JAY REALLY ISNT ALL THAT IM FROM DA WEST…SO WEN PAC WAS KILLED….NAS BECASME THE BEST NO QUESTION

Mos will MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMERRDERRR them dudes, period.

He cant see common lupe or Talib!?!…Just the sheer number of years in the game and the development of skill puts him over lupe…dont get me wrong tho…lupe is sooooooooo retardedly nasty…but Mos would bring it to all of em…F**k it…Imma even say he’ll beat all of them…even common…n thats my dude as well…It would be such a good battle though….

dont do it wayne its suicide LOL Mos Def will lyrically kill that LiL Alien

For those who think that Lil Wayne is capable of being a battle rapper is retarded check his track record when it comes to dissing people and dont forget that a couple years back that he was talking fly s**t about The Clipse and Gillie Da Kid and they put him in his place dont get me wrong i like lil wayne and all but he cant diss a rapper for s**t i even hate when he rap’s about another person because it’s boring and he dont have no line that i could remember from him talking about somebody

MOS DEF IS GREAT AND JUST GETS BETTER WITH TIME.

Mos Def go hard, alot of those cats dont want to risk the embarrassment of gettin lyrically smashed.

Weezy is a noteworthy and inventive rapper. Secondly he’s a all-purpose and successful in the rap game.

Mos Def you’re a good rapper and all but this is not your time homie!

Haterz get @ me!

Please, mof def is a genious a poet, he’s a class act, his knowledge is above jay and lil wayne..

who exactly is gonna judge this/these battles? the rapper would have to literally freeze up for anyone from their hood/region/state to admit they lost.new york is gonna stand behind new york..the south is gonna stand behind the south,Midwest behind Midwest and so on..who is impartial when it comes to A REAL BATTLE between raps biggest names and the possibility of a career ending evening..not to mention the money lost?then factor in the hatred you have acquired by beating said rapper when you do a show in his state..hows that for record sales in that region?as far as business goes its easy for a broke rapper to say he does it for the love b/c truth be told he aint never had sh!t..feel me? he doesnt know what its like to be a million dollar business..literally,or what it feels like to put all that in jeopardy over something as subjective as..”who’s the best?”. it would be a historic event to complex for judges.so perhaps that’s why they don’t battle..no fair and impartial jury and at the end of the day it comes down to whats best for business.
hip hop..dj’n,graffiti,breakin,
music…..money?

jay and wayne couldt see mos bedda toast cause roc da baby and 40 year old ghost

roc da 40 year old ghost

maybe above waayne but not jay, Jay will kill him!!

2 B REAL MOS DEF WILL MURDER BOTH NIGGAS BCUZ I MEAN HE DON’T REALLY CARE OR RAP 4 DA MONEY HE DOIN HIM ND REPPIN HIS HOME N STATE ND NEIGHBORHOOD SO YEA BUT MOS DEF WILL DROP KNOWLEDGE ON DEM 4REAL 4REAL

you see on 8:34 dude with the camera said you have to be educated to understand mosdef lyrics. witch is true. sadly alot of dumb fans out there. cause they will choose weezy over mosdef. like jay-z got smashed by nas. alot of people, including me at the time, chose jay-z cause he is in the camera all the time. mosdef well eat all them cats up. jay z dont have his own lyrics and weezy dont know how to write a proper sentence. and most of the people that support jay-z and lil wee monkey. are not to smart. IM NOT SAYING ALL. but many are pretty air head beat loving monkeys

Mos is better than say 95% of artists out now. maybe one of rap’s best kept secrets. he SLAYS wayne any day of the week and twice on thursdays. he might have a lil bit more of an issue messin with hov though. Hov is one of the best to do it. And for all the Hov haters, here’s a quote from ma man “Men lie, women lie, numbers DON’T.” Hov is the most consistent rapper of all time. check the stats, at least platinum on anything the man has touched. Final verdict Mos Def > Wayne, Mos Def < Jay. end of discussion…

See, that’s the problem with fools that put a dollar amount on this thing called hip-hop. Jay’s entitled to hustle that commerce and multiply platinum dollars for all his hard work. And he is skilled as hell on the mic. I commend Jay-Z for where he is in the game. But Mos Def is on another when it gets down to it. I do believe that Jay has some consciousness in his content. However, Mos flows from the premise that made hip-hop the rebellious music of Black America in the first place. The popular charts don’t mean shyt if you can’t uplift anyone. I’ll never hate Jay, but it don’t take much to pop tag on the mic. Translation: He’s king of the commercialized rappers. Nuff said. Weezy is highly skilled as well, but he couldn’t sweep up Mos’ porch on a hot summer day.

Keep on…

lmao!!!

I LOVE HIM

guess who you dam right its me i dont care nobody checks my comments but you will i havnt even finished listening to this one but i know for a fact mos def is good for hip hop for people that dont understand listen to fifth and you will understand money in this game they are what they do without battles who would understand their depth mos def is blessed but he also is who he is gangsta is not apart of his vocal he by far is one of the best hands down but some issues is just what they are wait for the new youtube commentary from rocktownpolo

If all it is, is about flows-Sun–Mos Got It-but still would be ill to see

Would love to see that… That’s what you call a freakin challenge! lol

mos def would SMASH these clowns man. they cannot touch him lyrically

This something I would pay to see. Wayne aint even worth calling out but wit Jay that would be interesting.both frm up north where lyrical substance is everything. But Jay aint on that freestyle style no moe. When he say he the best rapper its bout albums and content. He been in the game for 10+ yrs and neva fell off. Plus he was true to his rhymes. We aint seen that since pac. Who hands down was the best even though he wasn’t lyrically. But I would but my money on mos def.

REALTALK:
Put the money on the wood…. That’s it, that’s all…. MOS DEF all day, and I like Jay and Weezy, but let’s not forget that TRUE HIP-HOP is not COMMERCIAL…

Take it back to the roots and all you sucka’s out here sleepin on MOS would be broke as fugg by the end of the day…

The best in the game were never mainstream except Pac,BIG,and Rakim but hell the game done changed. Everybody a bunch of “Beat Zombies” now and there seems to be no substance anymore…

Hell I’d even put money on EMINEM over Jay and Weezy where lyrical substance is concerned….

As long as kidz sleep on the skillz of guys like MOS, Common, Eminem, Lupe, Method, 3000, Currupt, ya’ll gonna continue to think Pop Starz like Jay and Weezy are the best…. Get real!

NWA said, ” Turn of that RADIO, turn off that bullshick…”

Love to see a classic battle again take it back to its roots…

Most Def already ate Kanye up in freestyle battle in england..I dont even know why Kanye was up for discussion…Freeway got embarassed by Cassidy and Jay cant battle unless its on a written song, Weezy?…..nah

Hova would eat Mos Def. MS fat booty compared to streets is watchin, compared to feelin it, to in my life time. “Cough up a lung where I’m from Marcy son aint nothin nice” Are yall serious MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Mos Def would smash JayZ and Lil Wayne in one sitting.

You cant compare songs that are already recorded…you don’t even know if those dudes wrote that stuff. Mos would KILLLLLLLLLL those two. Like the tape says, “My money is on Mos…”

MOS DEF….MOS DEF…MOS DEF…MOS DEF….!!!! AGAIN, MOS DEF….! SEE YOUNGER PEOPLE… A REAL LYRICIST NEVER HAS FEAR OF THE MIC!!! ITS HOW U LEARN TO DEVELOP INTO A BETTER LYRICIST..THIS IS WHAT REAL HIP-HOP IS ALL ABOUT!!THESE ARE THE ROOTS OF IT ALL!!ANYONE CAN SOUND OK ON RECORD..THERE ARE WAY 2 MANY HANDS IN THAT PROCESS… B.T.W.. LIL WAYNE DON’T FORGET..A LOAF OF BREAD, A CONTAINER OF MILK, AND A STICK OF BUTTER!!!JAY IS MONEY MAN..REAL UNDERGROUND IS BENEATH HIM..LOL…MOS DEF…LUV YA, LUV!! I CANT MESS WIT U, U TOO GROWN FOR ME, BABY!! LOVE ALWAYS, A QUEEN FROM QUEENS..A B-GYRL FOR LYFE!! LOOK MA, NO SHOE LACES!!!DUCES

mos Would eat them wit his eyez close…HOva n weezy, don’t think about it

I’m a HUGE Jigga fan…no homo, but real spit. I would luv to see that battle. You bloggas don’t understand dat dis is real ish. No comparing songs or great quotes/but standing face to face goin @ each other throats/both from BK so dats luv there/lettin each other kno dat dey have no fear

I like Mos Def but I think he needs to shut up. I think he is just another MC trying to get some attention, and possibly try to make some money.
Jay spent so many years on top of the game; where were u Mos Def to challenge him? All of a sudden u wanna step out and talk s**t. I think some niggas realize that Jay is more about his business now than going to battle rap. Nigga as old as you are u still trying to battle rap? Shame on you! If you think that man(Jigga, or your Big Homie) is gonna step out of his spot to battle rap you then you are crazy. Get ur hustle on some other place. You should be ashame of calling out one of Hip Hop’s greatest, and a living legend, a well respected individual(Hova) across the world for some petty rap s**t. Where were u back then? Dumb F**k!!!

Real talk. Jay would be tuff….but Mos would beast Weezy.

jigga already got ate up by nas nigga

MOS DEF WOULD KILL BOTH OF DEM WIT LYRICS BE REAL BUT I WILL KILL ALL THEM CHECK ME OUT http://www.myspace.com/ricodadon2680

MOST DEF IS ALL POISON, Wayne and Jay don’t want NO PART of that poison dart. Test him and find out the hard way. Messing with Mos is like coming at KRS One

Mos Def???Who is he…NOBODY!! And who the hell are those lil dick ridin f****ts boostin him up…Wayne all bout his money..He pays no attention to lame rappers callin him out bc they need attention..And BIG HOMIE HOV, JIGGAMAN, RAP’S BIG BROTHER…Jay is Rap..He held down title as KING for the longest..Why u didn’t battle him then..Now since you lame ass rappers realized he is mostly business, got the hottest female in entertainment as his wife, and your career is over, u wanna call him out..Answer this..What does Jay-Z has to gain by battle u or others like u..NOT A DAMN THING!!! So Weezy keep doin ya thing and Jay..WUT MORE CAN HE SAY!!!

MOS DEF IS A RAPPER FOR REAL HE GET KNO EXPOSER HE IS DOPE WITH RYHMS TRU BACK PACT RAPPERS COME AND DESTROY

OH I gotta get some of this…..Jay is live Weesie is alright…BUT MOS DEF! This is old School mad skills, these 2 can’t even phathem how big the pile of s**t there getting into. The mans skills are impeccable!Thats why we call him MOS DEF!!!! fools!

this is definitely a matter of opinion, hottest female in the industry also a matter of opinion , but by no means would i say mos def’s career is over….seen any movies or television shows or broadway stages with jayz on the bill?……didn’t think so…

SOMEBODY SMACK THAT DUDE KINGCOKE!!!!! MOS DEF IS PURE HIP-HOP / JAY-Z WOULD GIVE MOST A RUN ON THE LYRICS AND WAYNE WOULD GET HIS 4HEAD BUSTED OPEN TO THE WHITE MEAT AGAINST MOS DEF. IT TIME 2 STOP ALL THE CARTOON RAP THAT HAS HIT THE AIRWAVES/IPODS/MP3′S
PRESENT DAY REAL LYRICAL BEAST:
MOS DEF
ANDRE 3000
JAY-Z
PHONTE (LITTLE BROTHER)
WALE
BLACK THOUGHT

SOME1 HIT THE WAKE UP CALL 4 KINGCOKE…..WITH THE NO KEYS OF COKE……LMBAO!

If you are older then lil wayne and you think he is good…KILL YOURSELF… The new JayZ is so watered down its sad. If you cant recall Jayz in the Reasonable doubt day…BLA…he is a good rapper dont get me wrong…BUT its a thin line between rap, hip hop and the music of TODAY. MOS DEF is hip hop, Jayz is a rapper abd lil wayne is the music of today.

mos def is underrated, cause he dont trap about your average hood s**t. this dude put more thought and care into his lyrics.

aint nobody f**kin wit mos def. only unmatched by mos iz da god rakim. dont nobody do it betta!! sho nuff!

What??? They in Detroit, and won’t recognize one of the greatest lyrcist of all time! You in his city, take Mos and whoever you want to get to 8 mile. Tell em’ to holler at Marshall!!

mos def represents the roots of hip hop not “glamhop” ( yeah im coining that you heardit hear first folks glamhop)which is what lil wayne is he’s all about the fame and game mos def is about the artistry and staying true and he also represents the positive in the genre as well

let me set things straight for some people that’s commenting on this.#1 if you think that mos def is just trying to get attention you must don’t know that he’s in movies,plays and commercials and got awards for them. #2 mos def been in the business before jay-z came out with reasonable doubt with the group black star with members hi tec and talib kwali,get your hip hop facts straight. #3 mos def has a clothing line also so just like jay and a host of other rappers he’s a business man too. #4 to some that may ask what do jay and wayne would gain if they battled him,simple respect if they win. that’s what hip hop is about. that just proved to me that hip hop is so f**ked up that we don’t know why we have the battle element in the game,for respect on the mic not gimmicks. gimmicks just get you robbed ask wayne when he went to the west coast. ask jay about the car he was in when it got shot up in his hood.

lil wayne is a junkie and j is just that a joke com on man its a no brainer mos def kills lilwayne and talib kills j z what the f**k u think or vice versa dont matter

ur kidding right ? jz is a joke.and lilwayne is a f**king junkie they better stay out of grown folk buiseness and keep selling clothes and wack ass records .

My Money is on Mos. Jay would eat Wayne simple and plain. The question is can the original Mr. Carter go blow for blow with Black Dante? I don’t think so. As far as Em goes. Now THAT would be a battle. Pretty Flaco and Slim Shady would be Ali vs. Foreman for real!!! I would pay good money for that one too. With the winner advancing to battle Canibus. Damn that would be a hell of a show!!!!!!

Not only does Mos hav the vocab to make the sentences of his rhymes better, he switches up his rhythms, sometimes in the middle of a sentence, clever! Havn’t seen to many diverseified flows like that since mid-ninties. Lil Wayne is pop America’s Black Dream, because he talks about little to nothing, so he’s not threatening, maybe entertaining, but nothing more. Lil Wayne will never compete with Mos on a substance based level of flow, i put my money on that! Em is a white guy who has learned to master the art of mimicking BLack persona to the fullest, he has shaped it to fit his own white self, so whether it be good or not, its not an authentic flow, unlike Mos’. Jay don’t want it anymore, and as it is he talks about the same ole, same ole, in the most monotone of rhythms, yawn! Mos, if he stays challenged and hungry, is probably the most lyrically gifted MC out right now, unless Nas gets super focused and hungry again, like he was on “It Aint Hard to Tell” and other earlier tracks.

fck wit ya mouth say/down south heat spray/and im frm out tha N.O/uptown bistro/wayne amurder u niggaz…yall must need glasses n hearinades

MEN LIE…WOMEN LIE…THE NUMBERS DONT LIE….

all have to say is ….lyrically I’m the best and using mind games won’t work. Like Jay said, Don’t fear no rappers they dinero’s in practice and don’t believe half of what your ear lobe captures if it’s not as acturate as me….Man that done said a mouth pull jay I’m studying you feel that 1

You guys can say whatever you want to say about Wayne and Jay, but the facts are men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t. Now if the battle is strictly lyrical, then yeah i will have to say Mos wins, with jay second, wayne third, but on making a hot track? Mos is probably 4th, with jay 1st and wayne second

Let me learn yall..wannabe HIP-HOP/RAP heads in on something. Stick to RAP and when your lyrically inclined to listen to HIP-HOP then comment. You are HIP-HOP when you can intertain on different levels other than what you got and what broad you f’n. So yeah Wayne is raw, for yall that are Cash Money Fans and you watched the brother grow up. And Jay Hawaiin Silky Fame….WOW…I could never listne to a whole Jay-Z CD. Now Im not hating on none of the brothers. But when it comes to HIP-HOP and MOS Def ar you Fk’n kidding me!!!!!!!!! Thats like putting Lil Kim against Queen Latifah. The Queen will murder Lil Kim. Just get your mind right when it comes to music..theres a big difference between rap and HIP-HOP…..
PEACE

mos def and jay-z would be a good battle lil wayne can’t rap he just say stupid s**t over and over again his albums and mixtapes sound alike honestly to me weezy f. baby suck

What’s great about all of this is that, NOBODY will step up to Mos…. So anybody sayin Jay or Weezy stands a chance… get at me when either of them ACCEPT this challenge…. until then, yall need to cop them “Ye of Little Faith” T-Shirts…..

First off Jay z wouldn’t hold up a picture of a car in a magazine and say its his. Jay z will pull up in it. Park it and get out. 2nd Andre 3000 would eat dude up lyrically. Come on people Andre 3000? You shouldnt even mention Andre he off on his own. Ya’ll really don’t wanna know about that gansta s**t. Mos Def aint that smart either. Check him out on the Bill Maher show he lost all credibility for some of the stupid s**t he was saying. Mos Def is definetly drunk on the video. We often say s**t that we may regret in the morning when drunk so I’m go excuse dude.

Lol I guess nobody listens to the old jay, he was a battle rapper before it all. For the people saying Mos will just rip jay, go check out your facts Mos def hasn’t put out a hot track in ages. Like jay said “I’ll probable be lyrically Talib Quali” then he chose to reiterate his argument by saying ” I want to rhyme like Common sense, but I sold 5 mil I aint been rhyming like Common sense”. I respect that neo soal and that Conscience rap, but honestly that s**t gets boring fast. You want a song that energizes you go with Jay, you want a song you can pull a bong out and vibe with go with Mos. In my opinion old jay is hands down the best

I like mos i think he would murder wayne but notice they named everyone but nas nobody want it with esco

i like mos he would eat wayne and jay aint really nice no more but aint none of them mention nas nobody want it with esco
