Andre 3000 vs Nas

[JustCKing]

Nas is my favorite rapper, but Stankonia is definitely arguably >>>>>> anything Nas has dropped since. Stillmatic and The Lost Tapes are the only albums he's dropped since '00 worthy of comparison.

Pac's favorite album while locked up

"While working as a journalist for The Source in 1994, Hampton covered three court cases involving Tupac. Around this time, she received an advance-copy of Illmatic and immediately dubbed a cassette version for Tupac, who became "an instant convert" of the album. The next day, she writes, Tupac "arrived in his assigned courtroom blasting Illmatic so loudly that the bailiff yelled at him to turn it off before the judge took his seat on the bench." In her essay, Hampton implies that Nas' lyricism might have influenced Tupac's acclaimed album, Me Against the World, which was recorded that same year."

But I'm not too sure what a non linked out of context write in thread relates to this other than you have a drive to talk about all things

Of course you dont, youre dumb, youre a naS stan

I don't know why dudes are bringing up Nas' discography.... half of it is some smart dumb shyt anyway

Now wait a sec, give me time to explain, women and fast cars
And diamond rings can poison a rap star
It's suicidal, how I smoke in so much la
I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky
Wish I could flap wings and fly away
To where black kings in Ghana stay, so I could get old
My flesh rot away but that'll be the day when it's peace
When my gat don't need to spray when these streets are safe to play
Sex with death, indulge in these women
Envision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire
Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
Like the Exorcist, then they gave birth to my seeds
I beg for God's help, why they love hurting me?
I'm your disciple, a thug certainly
I'm the N, the A to the S-I-R
If I wasn't I must've been Escobar
45 in my waist, staring at my reflection in the mirror
Sitting still in the chair like Mike Concepcion
When everything around me got cloudy
The chair became a king's throne, my destiny found me
It was clear why the struggle was so painful
Metamorphosis, this is what I changed to, and God, I'm so thankful

@vaudevillevillain

naS stans be gassed off these shytty ass lyrics man...

"I'm the N, the A, to the S-I-R"

I swear naS stans got the lowest IQ's of all rap listeners.

Nas haters y'all are clitoris

I don't get the whole Nas wearing a Pac shirt thing, they were both big fans of eachother and inspired eachother. They even squashed shyt in the end and we're going to do some shyt together before Pac died.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I hope Andre does that solo album though, because he's a great talent, would like to hear more from him, he's been killing a lot of features and is clearly a talented poetic individual lyricist.

 

[spliz]

you compared dre right now to jada going solo in 01, but im reaching? jada who had two albums before going solo to andre. who has 7 albums and decades worth of features. for me personally that is more than enough material to tell if somebody can rap or not, i think you'd have to be a fool if that ain't enough for you, i can do that off one album. you're reaching. you brought up biggie, he has 2 albums. Dre has way more material wtf? shyt is making no sense. big boi & cee-lo > nas too though, df all day.

Thing is..u counting OUTKAST material as DRE material and thats the point u not fukkin gettin...u missing THE WHOLE fukking point...it dont matter if LOX had 2 group albums before Jada dropped his solo...point is that peoples perception of Kiss CHANGED after his solo albums dropped...peoples perception of STYLES changed after his solo shyt dropped..if they NEVER dropped solo material..people would have never got to see what they were made of as hip hop artists and what they truly was about...ANDRE aint got 7 albums nikka...OUTKAST does..problem is u one of them nikkas who act like Dre was the end all be all in that fukkin group...he wasnt..isnt..and never was...when I count in Andre's greatness...I put it in perpective of the group..cause thats ALL he has enabled me to do...the nikka has NO solo hip hop work..no album..no song..no nothing...how do we know he wouldnt fall flat on his face as a solo artist?..what if he dropped his solo hip hop album and it was straight garbage?...would that mean Andre is wack?..no..would that mean Andre is not great?..no...but it DAMN sure wouldnt put him on Nas' level...who been doin the shyt dolo for 20+ years and made HIS OWN mark as one of the greatest in this hip hop shyt...u can like Andre's style more...u can favor Andre more...he could even be ur number 1 fav rapper..but in the grand scheme of things...he's not complete enough to compete with the GOATs of the genre..period..

 

[spliz]

Also..its hilarious that Andre has never been considered to be on Nas' level until AFTER he stopped rapping...fukkin revisionist ass shyt right there...maybe if yall boy didnt "let the fear put his ass in a place..complicated to escape..its a fools fate..."..he wouldve dropped something by now...or if he wouldve checked his ego at the door...he wouldve dropped something by now...

And that's coming from a woman who hates Nas

[Not Crodie]

andre has great flows and all but honestly, he was never a good lyricist to me$


his verses sound dope but on the paper, they aint that good
