1994-1996 Nas is the only perfect rapper in history

[LJLYDK!]

IWW is great...but has become overrated particularly on this forum. I think Nas's rhyming style advanced a bit from Illmatic to IWW...but the beats on IWW were a B- at best...and like 2 of them songs could have just been left off completely. I could name madd albums better than IWW. I cant name many albums better than Illmatic

Which two you scrapping?
And what two tracks you replacing em with?

Debate your moms.

I don’t think in that era Nas dropped a verse that wasn’t 4-5 stars. He literally was untouchable.

been saying this for years

it was written Nas

street dreams remix nas

fast life nas

take it in blood nas

rapping ability is the apex level top peak of humanly possible rap perfection

something about being that lyrical with a flow like water, he was checking every category of what makes a rapper good.

Someone post the clip of Biggie talking about how he was shocked that he won Lyricist of the Year over Nas...as was everyone else.

100!

It Was Written is extraordinarily overrated, it's not his second best album. nikkas be overboard to salute Nas...

While 94-96 Nas also would also be my pick for the most perfect rapper (more like 91-96 Nas, actually - and 99-02 Nas isn't far behind), Cube being put into the discussion isn't laughable. He was amazing in his prime. Maybe not as "technical" as that Nas era was, but he put down some of the most witty lyricism with some of the most searing social/political criticism I have ever heard. He's top 10 no question.

Cube is absolutely a GOAT, anybody scoffing at Cube being mentioned need to go review his discography....

Aesthetically he is LA's Nas...

Are you serious?

Watch Dem nikkas
Nas Is Coming
Black Girl Lost

Those three tracks take away from the quality of the album...

Yeah I don't like those songs, and I think Stillmatic is his next best album...

 

[kingofnyc]

Theres much honour in death, the truth is I've seen Nas called like 5 rappers king and he said one of the greatest which he is. When he was alive though he said there's one life, one love and there could be only one king..

nyc & da collective hip hop community crowned....

why is this even being discussed

 

[mr.africa]

agreed!!
