give Nas the nod because he's the better lyricist and he won their battle.......

You're talking about one of the hookiest tracks of the decade versus Outkasts least commercial single, which almost has no hook at all. I personally for the most part hate Eminem and love Outkast, but between these two songs, it's an easy choice.

"me and you yo mama and yo cousins to" = a hook, lol.....Lose Yourself is a great song and it's debatable, but I'm surprised to see Elevators getting blown out the water

Nas is like earth wind and fire / rims and tires bullet proof glass inside is the realest driver / planets in orbit line em up with the stars/ tarrot cards you can see the pharoah nas/ nas is like iron mike/ messiah type/ before the christ... after the death/ the last one left


^^^^renegade is a great song, but Nas's lyricism is just insane on that track.

Elevators has no hook? Huh? It has one of the catchiest hooks I've ever heard. Oh well...I wonder how many people actually have heard the song....and Renegade>Nas Is Like

lol, word that hook caught everyone's attention, because it was so off the wall...and it was a very popular single when it came out, we used to always ride around pumpin it in my sisters ride.......oh another reason I chose Nas is Like is because the instrumental is one of the greatest of all time thanx to you know who...
