Who cares? Do they act like women when someone questions their music or for this instance put them side by side to another artist and compare them?

If it's that ridiculous y'all would just skip over the thread.

Yes, Kanye fans often act like the biggest bytches lol. Someonne negged me cause I didn't like Yeezus lmao. It is very ridiculous, I do ignore most Kanye threads but this 1 has a legendary Hip Hop artist in Nas in the title so checked this 1 out.

Graduation is nowhere near a 9.
None of those Nas albums (with the exception of Nastradamus) is a 4 or lower.

To me - when Nas is great - he's a 10.
When Kanye is great - he's 8/9.
That's all that matters really - and why its easily Nas.

I actually liked MBDTF - lyrically I thought he stepped it up a notch and the production was nice on most of the songs. ALbum flows really well too.

I thought it was garbage, non of these songs are listenable to me.....

The only song I ever really have a desire to listen to again from that album is Devil In A Dress, and even then prefer the non album solo version much more.

Nastradamus is much higher than a 4.

Nastradamus is much higher than a 4.
I can see that - but that was the third strike against him at the time. The Firm album was awful, I Am was disappointing (although the bootleg was :ohlawd:) and then Nastradamus was simply abysmal. :huhldup:
As a heavy Nas fan at the time, it seemed like the nail in the coffin.

Just looking at it objectively - its probably better than a 4.

no you idiot naS stans just have no reading comprehension and think "naS doesn't need a ghostwriter" means "i didn't feed bars to naS"
Cite your source first. I don't remember all this shyt

According to what you posted he said like half a line and wrote the book. Ok?

I'm sure Ron Isely wrote the hook on Project Windows. :dead: It's the fukking hook

You Dream Hampton fukk boys took that "Jay E and Stic wrote the majority of Untitled" and ran with it. After Stic & Jay said they had bare minimum involvement with the lyrics (the verses, the shyt that matters when it come to Nas) and they did production.

fukk outta here :camby:Talkin bout "Jay E's style is written all on Queens Get The Money"

Jay E's style? JAY ELECTRONICA'S STYLE? Jay Electronica, the guy with the style that has been majorly influenced by NAS' STYLE?

Go to sleep nikka :mjlol:

How the fukk does one rapper maintain a strong mainstream career for over 20 years by only putting out one good album? :dahell:

Do y'all read the shyt y'all type?

I swear to God Nas must be some sort of magician if his whole career survived this long off the strength of an album put out in 1994 :pachaha:

I've never heard of no shyt like that

wu tang did :yeshrug:

:mjcry:
