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

[Prae]

its sad when cameL stans have to reach back over 20 years for the last time displayed any time of lyrical ability

 

[wire28]

Damn you going in on Gnauze

might want my post you edited

still reads like we are referring to cameL

 

[the rhyme king]

Nas and Jay aren't the same kinda lyricist

They're both lyrical just different

Jay is a metaphor, wordplay heavy lyricist
Nas is a multi-syllablic, compound words, inner rhyme, storytelling type lyricist

Both great, but different. Jay is more clever, Nas is more about flipping words

It really is pretty much the same as Big Daddy Kane vs. Rakim argument

yeah like i said jay is not really heavy on complex multisyllable rhyme schemes like nas g rap rakim big l lord finesse big daddy kane p monch etc he is more in the ras kass andre 3000 lupe fiasco gza common sense lane etc.

 

[Shadow King]

I wanna know who Jay was talking bout in the 2nd verse though

 

[I_Got_Da_Burna]

nas on a bad day is more lyrical than camel's best days

camel should have retired after the black album

 

[intilectual recipricol]

The fukk is he even saying in this song?

ADD rap at it's finest.

exactly. nikkaz really exposin theyselves thinkin that word salad is lyricism. then trying to destroy the english language to make it seem like that basura is a different kind of lyricism

naS is a flippin words type of lyricism

"ran to houston with blah blah blah"

 

[GoogleMe]

OP you fukked up.

 

[Ronald]

is rapping about monkey flipping rappers really lyrically advanced

yea, remember when you vocaroo'd the first verse of NY State Of Mind

that french accent

 

[Mike Otherz]

Proving my point.

nikkaz here dont know how to separate lyricism from some shyt they like vs shyt they dont like. You dont have to be talkin about shyt at all to be doing it lyrically. Its how you write it, the layers to it, the cleverness. Its how you say shyt without even sayin it. naS never approached the level of lyricism Jay has.

would do u define as lyricism like what makes it complex to you @intilectual recipricol

 

[GeeEffKay]

the dudes thats obsessed with hatin on nas is talking about separating lyricism from shyt u like/dont like

 

[intilectual recipricol]

"hand around her collar, feedin her cheese/she said the taste of dollars was shytty so I fed her 50's
about his whereabouts I wasnt convinced/i kept feedin her money till her shyt started to make sense" -- Jay

"I ran to houston like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin" - naS

If you idiots cant see who is an actual lyricist then its more of a statement about you...

 

[mr.africa]

I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin

so short and yet so potent
the imagery

 

[mr.africa]

the imagery
the storytelling
flipping of the words
the aliteration of p's halfway through the verse
and this was in '08, not the 90s.

SALUTE THE DON OF THIS shyt!!!
