Can naS make a song as lyrically advanced as "D'Evils"

[ManBearPig]

No idea original

 

[Kitsune]

Whats wrong with the "I ran like a cheeta" line when its context is taken from the previous line before it?
Post the lyric by itself and sure the line may look random but thats not how the game works

the whole shyt is stupid and certainly nothing lyrical about the song. taking the cheetah line (or any collection of lines) from that song and comparing that to the Jigga shyt shows exactly how average naS lyrics are (and corny as fukk too)

at the way you always capitalize the "s" in naS

thats how naS stans do it right?

If nikkaz could look inside my mind, you'll find
where bodies are buried, first look past the hotties who dimes
Go to the center, enter with caution, past the braincell graveyard
where weed's responsible for memory loss
Let's witness, the horrific, the stench'll make you nauseous
See what I seen every day I live with this torture
Lightin spliffs up to stay high like 24 hours
Sleep with my heat, wash with my gun in the shower
My tongue is power, it thrills women, kills demons
Long as I'm still breathin I'm still winnin, I'll teach 'em
The hood converted from trey bags to 20's a girl
Everybody had money, every summer was real ill
Four-finger rings, dope dealers, 'caine/Kane
"No Half Steppin'" with flat tops when Rakim reigned
Radios on card tables, Benetton, the Gods buildin
Ask for today's mathematics, we Allah's children
And this was goin on in every New York ghetto
Kids listened, Five Percenters said it's pork and Jell-o
We coincide, we in the same life, maybe a time difference
on a different coast, but we share the same sunlight
Your part of the world, might be like colors and gangs
While on my side, brothers'll murder for different things
But it all revolve around drugs, fame and shorties
Stuck for your bling, stripped for your chain, the same story
From, Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis
Them, treacherous rocksters in the Mexican mafias
Be scrappin with tats on they back, violent wars
Nothin less than a lethal injection if ever caught
Courtrooms, eagles and flags, American style
While in our world, the ghetto stays incredibly foul
Watchin for paint chips, don't want no led in yo' child
But them gangstas put lead in yo' child, the bezzy be out
The chain be like a hundred K
Shinin since Roxanne Shante' made "Runaway"; that's been a minute
Genesis is deep, my features are that of a God
It's not a facade it's a fact, these rappers wanna be Nas
My Exodus doesn't exist
I'll never leave the streets, it's all in my mind
Even with sleep I'm duckin nines in my dreams
Si-rens, wide awake, why'd I think it would change
Can't hide when you famous or even try to do the same things like
Somebody's always watchin, my life
Before I, walk out the door I size up every option
Eyes cut every direction, it's like God or guns
Which is better protection? Can't decide, that's a hard one
I mean they wanna see me in prison, the chains bamboozled
Headline readin "Rapper Slain From a Man Shootin"

I'm glad you posted this poor example of writing so nikkaz know what putting words together just to match looks like. This nikka tried to hide being extra average with faux depth and a long verse. I'm still lookin for lyricism from naS... someone post something that can compete with D'Evils please...

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

I would have said

I Gave You Power vs D'Evils
OR

NY State of Mind VS Cashmere Thoughts (Read the lyrics)

Theres nothing stupid about the line though. The prior line states that he had a weapon laying in the grass so like a cheetah in the wild, he hauled ass to get the object he had in mind.
Its a simple imagery, Nas is just more creative in his rhyme schemes, while Jay on the otherhand spells his shyt out rather plainly with a methaphor thrown in here and there.

 

[NoHalfWay]

"Or either on the corner bettin Grants with the celo champs
Laughin at baseheads, tryin to sell some broken amps"

He doesn't use it like Jay but Nas' wordplay is pretty clever

U are trolling hard.

[sayyestothis]

Two reasons why this song > nas's best...

"9-5 is how u surivie, I aint tryna survive
im tryna live it to the limit and love it alot"

And

"We usta fight for building blocks,
Now we fight for blocks with buildings, making a killing..."

 

[ManBearPig]

"sampled your voice, you was using it wrong · You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song"


But that same song is on his playlist in nba 2k13 Hov?
