Legendary rapper Busta Rhymeshas talked about his high admiration for Jay-Zas an MC.

Busta recalled losing rap battles to Jigga when they were in high school.

He told Rap Fix: "He kind of got the best of the situation. I got to give it up. He was so ill and his arsenal was so long that he had more than what I did.

"I spit my one rap, and my tank was empty real fast. He came with two or three after that, and I was like, 'Here we go.' But I gave it my best.

“That was probably the first time that I lost a battle that mattered. Jay-Z always exemplified greatness as an MC. He was a scientist with it."
