1994-1996 Nas is the only perfect rapper in history

[28 Gramz]

Pac 95-96
DMX 98

 

[Shadow King]

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

FOH.

Yes...

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

Yes...

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Nas from 94-96
BIG from 94-97
Kurupt from 92-96

 

[EBK String]

no such thing as a perfect rapper

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

 

[Evil Grandson]

Biggie was the only perfect rapper. 94-97 Biggie was untouchable.

Cadence, flow, delivery, content, rhyme schemes, hits, impact, consistency, mainstream recognition, and replay value. Nas didn't have all of this

 

[Kogami]

More like 91-96 Nas

 

[TripleAgent]

The more I think about it he more I feel Eye for an Eye is his GOAT verse.

2nd verse of the Street Dreams Remix to me. He was dropping classic verses left and right though

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Nas during 94 and his Escobar persona was the most skilled MC I’ve ever heard.

 

[prophecypro]

I mean its Nas so yeah

Lowkest of keys though he was pretty dope early 00s and start of decade in a different way (actually did double time flow well on C4 for examples)

 

[mr.africa]

To me it'll always be the second verse of Memory Lane. That shyt is untouchable

that verse and the second verse on suspect are my 1a and 1b

 

[Bigsuk]

Big ,pac and nas .... in no order .... big and nas smashed 94 into 95 ... pac smashed late 95/96 .....

 

[Ruby'sRevolver]

Hmmm...might be. Have to think about this.

That era was so dope. Biggie, Prodigy, and GZA also had a good stretch where they dropped nothing but near flawless/flawless verses.

Don't forget about Deck he was dropping heat during that period as well.

 

[Ruby'sRevolver]

Yup, Nas was spitting his ass off but it was Big who was considered the King of NY....

"Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns..."
