I don't think they are either, but I almost understand why Jim's naive ass thinks that's the case.
You still hear his music or whoever he's latching onto outside in these streets. Maino's become really good at doing this shyt too. No surprise, many of these old heads stay current by doing songs together. Fab, Jim, Maino, Fivio, etc.
Jim Jones and Dipset will ALWAYS get played at Dyckman for example. It's not because streets are tryna hear Jim Jones. It's that the dude who runs the event and the guys who generally pull up all the time (to watch games, smoke and even funnel kids into the tournaments) are either from Harlem or fukk them heavy since Juelz's brother coaches in these streetball tourneys.
The most popular young old head by a mile right now is Jadakiss. Now it's become guy who's around a whole lot who is most likely to bring out the hood or feature the hood in something he's doing.
Nas problem is critics dont big him up like they used to, so even if he isnt selling, they could always point to awards, analysis, and reviews. The "this is art" crowd. They put Kenny in that spot now and dont need him anymore even if he's still putting out good stuff.

Pooping on your head :umad:
IMO the quality of Nas music never fell off, but his popularity did. Like with a lot of Hip Hop albums the best songs are usually random album cuts and not singles.
For example do people really think H to the Izzo is the best song on Blueprint? Do people think Candy Shop is the best song on The Massacre?
Jay Z is literally the only rapper from Nas era that is still relevant, even then he is not releasing albums anymore but only one verse a year, but that single verse is usually a big deal in the culture.
With that being said, there are plenty of great songs on the Nas/Hit Boy albums.

even worse: those same young heads, some of them would have no problem saying Nas is trash.
Im sorry that shows how irrelevant nas is. Dude dropped 6 albums in 4 years and not one song connected outside of his fanbase
