Came in to say this. P in the 90's is one of the most phenomenal MC's ever but he never was considered better than Nas.

i could prolly give you 10.

off-top & just from the mid-90s alone:
nas
AZ
raekwon
jay
big l
kool g rap
and more

My opinion is just as valuable as yours my nikka so Foh with that. As a huge fan of Mobb Deep and Prodigy fan I am telling you P was never considers better than Nas at any point. :camby:
There was always Mobb fans who would put Prodigy over Nas. But if we are just talking the overwhelming consensus of knowledgeable heads - absolutely they would go with Nas.

@Wacky D
Those are some great names you picked :salute:
But pretty much everyone on that list is arguable. I wouldn't be mad at all if somebody picked five of those names over P - but I wouldn't expect them to be mad if P ended up in the top 5 either.
And I know that was just mid 90s - but P was vicious through 99 (even though there was a slight decline on MM). And the overall talent level dropped in the late 90s. So P is top five in the late 90s as well.
