Jay isn't seeing the majority of the top guys lyrically. People like Jay get by on having albums which sound awesome, like The Black Album. Lupe is better lyrically and intellectually than NaS, but I think NaS has better flow and music than Lupe, and since NaS isn't exactly playschool shit, I'd put him at #1 D or A. Lupe, after just hearing how metaphorical and intellectual he actually is, might be up there top 5 for me now.
