Can a case be made that DMX is better than Nas?

DMX was hot from 1998-2000 and then fell off

Nas literally had 4 different primes in 4 different eras

Not at all.

Miniature version of primes or are we lowering the standard of “prime”

What a stupid thread, I mean seriously you can’t just say some dumb shyt like this, be young as hell, so you wasn’t outside when nas was in his peak and expect to be taken seriously. DMX was the man 98-2001 but guess what? So was nas. Like yea 98 X was a breath of fresh air and we were all fans but at no point did I ever think he was better than nas or Jay.

And we have to stop pretending like IWW was a step down from Ilmatic because it wasn’t. The bigger song was on IWW. X had one classic and two really good albums. He had a ton of fire features tho but in no way was he ever on nas level at anything. When you speaking about rappers from that era you need to survey people that were outside in 98 and not a bunch of 21 year olds.

DMX > Nas
