1994-1996 Nas is the only perfect rapper in history

[JuvenileHell]

Nas' features alone in that era was on some other shyt. Literally killed every feature he was on. They didn't call him the golden child for nothin

 

[Mike the Executioner]

There are rappers today who are at least ten years older than Nas was at the time and they'll never catch up to what he was doing.

-Illmatic
-His verse on "Verbal Intercourse"
-His verse on "Eye for an Eye"
-His verses on "Fast Life"
-His verses on "Mo Money, Mo Murder (Homicide)"
-It Was Written (including the "Street Dreams" remix with R. Kelly)

And all of this happened before he turned 24.

 

[Pop123]

I always said the same about 96-97 Jay-z. You right too tho

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Violent J was better during this timeframe and years after

Don't forget Deja Vu, his verse off Affirmative Action remix

Listen to the last verse, this nikka was really bugged the fukk out. Why are you rapping this good?

 

[Methodical]

I can't be mad, Nas was the goat feature on some Canibus feature shyt where everybody was fearing them.

But to the title, "The Perfect Rapper" I gotta say, Biggie Smalls

 

[Nomad1]

Lyrical he was, illmatic and iww was a really great and historic run.

Just like Canibus when he on every feature and you know you he gonna kill that shyt. Nas was like that.

We need a thumbs down button.

50 Cent himself would slap the bytch out of you

 

[Cadillac]

no such thing, as being the perfect rapper nor has anyone become one in any period

Nah, he wasn't the only one and during that era, I would argue that Biggie and even Pac were as close to perfect as one could get all things considered:
Flow
Delivery
Lyrics
Versatility
Storytelling
^^^ I would say Nas was ahead in lyrics and storytelling. You could argue flow, they were equal (though Biggie might get the edge here). Delivery and versatility were Biggie and Pac.

i wouldnt put them as perfect either.

Im a big Pac fan to, and consider Makaveli as having everything you can almost have want in a Rap album(espescially at its length). But nah I dont think there is one.

You're right.

Nas' the greatest to ever do it in that time frame.

We do, but not for this thread.

So, Nas was better than 2Pac, Ghostface and Biggie?

FOH.
