Jay-Z: "It's no Biggie, I'm just the king now"

That was Jay-Z on Snoop's "I Wanna Rock (G-Mix)." As you can tell from that line, Jay is starting to make an emphatic case for GOAT more than ever. Does he have a point? No other artist can boast of being as wildly influential while still rocking one of the illest flows hip-hop has ever witnessed. He deserves to be in the conversation. Same can be said about Nas, who commands one of the most enviable catalogs in hip-hop. Rakim is still numero uno on my list, but that rear-view mirror is getting crowded.
