better catalog: Nas or Kanye West? (Poll)

[Rapmastermind]

Let's be fair. Ye has dropped 6 LP's. Let's compare to NaS 1st 6:

ILLmatic vs CD = ILLmatic
I.W.W. vs LR = I.W.W.
I Am Vs Graduation = I Am
NaStradamus Vs 808's = NaStradamus
STILLmatic Vs MBDTF = STILLmatic
God's Son Vs Yeezus = God's Son


So again how is Ye's catalog Better? the only one I might change is "Graduation Vs I Am" but even then they are about Even. "LR" gives "I.W.W." a nice challenge but NaS had better song overall.

I Am is much better than Graduation to me, but yeah exactly, every Nas album is better than the Kanye equivalent. By far...

They are both 4 MICS. But I'd take "NaS is Like" and "NY State of Mind II" over anything off "Graduation".

stick to diagnosing psychology in the barbershop with all that bullshyt you just typed.

Nas has barely had the "best catalog" in any year he's released an album. Lets not do this.

What does the last bit mean? I can diagnose the psychology here cause it's patently obvious, you don't have to be an expert in psychology like I am to see that. The Kanye stans are very upset Nas winning, say cause it's a Nas site, interesting as 2 Pac beat Kanye too on here, and Jay did too, is it all their sites too though yeah? Lmao.

 

[Rapmastermind]

Also NaS's "Group" project was better too:

Not sure about that, listened again earlier, weren't feeling Graduation, sounded more like 2 mics to me. At the time probably thought it was a 3 initially. I Am would have to revisit but always thought of it as around a 4 yeah...

Why even entertain this question? Nas has entertained many people for many years without alienating fans with self served ego tripping antics. Kanye, yes he's a great producer, a good rapper, a platinum selling attention grabbing whore and an underrated a$$hole who just happens to be one of the biznasses greatest fukkin headcases... I like him, love him and hate him... NAS is that dude though at the end of the day... sorry not even Jay-Z tops NAS... Biggie maybe, Eminem? Tupac.... If I'm in the cut with one CD left on this planet I want "ILLMATIC" or "IT WAS WRITTEN"....

 

[D.J. NYCE]

Nas respects the old school more also. He knows how he got here.

Finally a truly unbiased comparison. This is bonafide proof Nas > Kanye

Off the top of your head name 5 dope songs off:
Street's Disciple
Hip Hop is Dead
Nastradamous
Untitled

Nobody talks about any of these albums - because they're trash. And I liked all of them at the time and haven't played barely anything from them in ages.

Nas is top 5 no doubt but my man only has maybe 4... at best 5 good albums that are official releases.

Considering the number of brilliant verses & songs Nas has - his catalogue is weak album for album.

Take both their best work from the 00's and Kanye probably has Nas 4 to 1.

Street's Disciple

Street's Disciple? Really?

I know that was filled with fillers but it's a double-disk album with 20+ songs... you're telling me there's not 5 dope songs on it?

Message To The Feds
Thief's Theme
War
Street's Disciple
Just A Moment

Are all just huh?

Listen breh if ur 18-25 iLL give you a pass. It's fine he's a dope artist for your generation but kanye west is literally a chi-town version of dr. dre. He isn't a dope emcee to compare to any legends, he ghost produces, is ghost written, & only curates what he likes. He makes dope projects and music videos but he isn't better then nas in anything other then producing beats. Saying Kanye west is a better rapper nas is retarded. Kanye west is a better rapper then.. Jeezy, or pharrel. He can't out rap one of the most lyrical rappers of all time or make a better song onpar with him without havign big sean and pusha t write the verse... TOGETHER have Mike Dean mix and add to production, while RZA picks out the sample and dj premier makes the scratches, while Kanye plays maestro.

Kanye West maybe the second best hiphop Maestro of all time after dr. dre but he still comes SECOND to all the greats. PERIOD. Kanye last album with him in his PRIME isn't better then an almost 40 year old Nas'. Do your research we love 'ye but you are being redikkulus.

U know rapping alone doesn't consist of a good artist? Ye has hits on hits, bottom line Nos isn't a well rounded artist and hov, 50, Wayne, gucci, Yeezus, Eminem are all better

Nas has an album in GOAT contention. Many say it is the GOAT. Then you have classics like:
IWW
Stillmatic
Lost Tapes

Then an excellent album in Gods Son that will not go down as a classic.
And another excellent album in LIG that may be classic years down the line. Too early to tell.

Kanye has CD, LR and Mbtghyf

One - at most - is a marginal classic.

Cosign. Nas got an album that will be in 90% of hip hop fans greatest albums ever list. Kanye, although he is dope, has nothing even remotely close to that pedigree. Is Kanye a bigger star? Absolutely. But Nas catalogue speaks for itself.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

No it isn't, and that's without counting that abomination Yeezus.

Real talk Yeezus was fukking horrible. I actually bought that shyt man. I could bought some weed with that $19.99.
