Better MC Rakim vs Nas

[Oroko Saki]

Nas barely but i respect anyone that says Rakim. In my opinion Pac Nas and Rakim are top 3 and they're interchangeable

 

[JayBaldacci]

nas was never on ra's level.


he was ill when he first started and over time.

showed where he was lacking where the master always outshined what little nas could do.

nas can only spit well over boombap consistently and be at his topnlevel.

whereas ra can go on any soundscape sonically and still be masterful and not lose touch with his skillbase.

ra would not have made a wack run on sentence appearance every beat on distant relatives.

like that wack offkey bullshyt nas made on dr.

plus ra would not sound out of place on any rnb or girl record.

like nas consistently sounds when out of his pocketed element.

nas lacks convincability on different soundscapes...ra never has that problem, period.

ra is seamless,..nas has parameters he can not go beyound and is limited.


learn emcee'n before you speak on the gawd,..and sound as stoopid as your post i had to quote.

lol at rakim being seamless. they both lack things that the other one has. rakim is more technical, which is what he focuses on. nas has better narative and is more of a poet than a "technical/lyrical" emcee.

rakim can rap over anything can he? then why doesn't he?

for nikkas sayin Nas took Ra's style it's just bullshyt..cause them nikkas honestly aint really rap alike at all..Nas was more like G Rap than Rakim...which makes more sense considering Nas' history anyway...

to me he was mixture of g rap and rakim as far as patterns go

to me he was a mixture of G Rap and himself...mixed wit a LIL bit of Trag influence...

i get the g rap influence because of the multi rhyme pattern shyt
but the rakim is most def true the way they rhyme they lines
is exactly like and where they place rhymes in the bar is similar also.

There's more than a little bit of Tragedy in his style.

not really, rakim lines his rhymes up with the snares. nas rhymes where ever he feels like it. rakim's rhyme style is very textbook(which it should be, because he wrote that textbook) where nas is unorthodox, and a lot of his multies don't get noticed because he doesn't put emphasis on them.

 

[JayBaldacci]

it ain't hard to tell and nas will prevail are trag influenced for sure. you cleary hear the g-rap influence on another day in the projects, etc.
ra gets way to much credit for birthing nas' style when it's really g-rap and trag, plus nas' own twist.

 

[Chris Mauro]

Nas is the sequel to Rakim just like Biggie/Jay Z were sequels to Big Daddy Kane

shows what experience with rakim you have.....
like i said,..and will alwwys say.

you can not dispute a fact,..so run in circles with that bullshyt deflection shyt all you want.

no fact skillwise supports nas as being a better emcee, than ra on no day.

nas has already failed to surpass ra,...fifteen years ago...

that is a fact,......

nah..I look at it like it was a QB thing..from the slang on down..all them QB nikkas talked like that...

 

[Darts]

The only song I can think of where Nas sounds like Rakim imo is 'Nas Will Prevail'.

 

[King Biko]

nas didnt take neither of their styles but you can tell he was influenced by G rap, big daddy kane and rakim and its nothing wrong with that. Dont mean they are better than him neither
