If this was 1997-2003 Jay might be able to step, If this was 2003-2005 maybe Wayne could compete, If this was 36 AD and Kanye had the help of Jesus's newly risen soul then maybe he could step too.

mos def can own them while taking a dump and readin the newspaperNetYankEagle
This.

Mos Def could own them in a rap battle while filming a porno for all we know. I don't believe that Kanye or Lil' Wayne would even be servicable rhyming off the top of their heads....hell, I know for a fact Kanye wouldn't be.

Kanye isn't even in the same universe. Can he even freestyle (let alone battle)? Wayne would get torched only because of all the material Mos Def has to work with (fake hip-hop, overrated, pop, wanna-be rockstar lol.. it would be a slaughter).

Wayne has a lot of different material to work with too though (toilets, being a beast, being a mother****ing goblin, etc.)...idk if that would be a huge reason why Mos would win...I'm just not convinced in Wayne's freestyling ability.

Weezy would have killed him 5 or 6 years a go. It's funny that Mos drops statements like this when the dudes are in experimental stages, varying from their regular style...

Mos is boring now anyway... I could care less if he would win. New Danger was, and will remain, the last good thing he dropped, and it wasn't even that good. Estatic is shaping up to be as boring as True Magic...

Jay-Z, Lil Wayne ,Kanye West, Beanie, and Freeway Mos would win.

But against 3 stacks? I don't know.

You say that as if Wayne is a servicable rhymer when he's using his written material.

^ Blu>>>>> Jay right now.

 Jay in his prime is easily better than Mos & Blu. But even with how lackluster Mos Def's music has been lately, I still would take him in a rap battle right now over Wayne, Kanye, and yes, possibly even Jay. Jay would be the only challenge.

You just had to bring blu into this... Well, like halftime said, right now, Blu>>>Jay-Z. Cant' really compare though, since they have completely different styles.

You call Mos washed up, but not Jay? that doesn't make sense at all.

My problem with Jay is that NONE of his tracks have good replayability. I get tired of all his tracks after a few plays.

lol

Black Star/Black on Both Sides Mos = legend. Lyrically, he owns.

Talib's solo career has definitely been more consitent though.

As for Jay can't even imagine him in a battle nowadays.

I wouldn't call Jay washed up at all... AG was dope. MUCH better than Mos' two last albums... and Jay has 10, while mos has 5. 

Even the RD tracks don't have replay value for you...? Blueprint, RD, The Black Album and Vol. 1 have always been very appealing and lasting albums for me.
