Not including guest features, Dipset or The Firm or Bravehearts and Nas got Cam beat when it comes down to hits from their solo catalogue.

It aint hard to tell
The World Is yours
If I ruled the world
street dreams
Nas is like
Hate Me Now
U owe me
Got yourself
ether
One Mic
made you look
I know I can

I didn't have to go any further because Nas got Cam beat just from there.

Even if you were to bring up street bangers like "Welcome to New York City" or "The Roc" it would be nothing to pull out "Halftime" or "One Love" or "New York State Of Mind" or "Lifes A bytch."

Now if you wanna battle with guest appearances. Nas still gonna beat Cam.



also







Nas only had 4 hit records, barely more than Jimmy

Nas is one of the GOATs of hip-hop and music period

But when I'm thinking of hits, Nas does not come to mind. And that's ok.

The highlighted are not hits though

You've left out some Nas joints that rock the place those are what you would call hits.

You've mentioned great records but that doesn't necessarily resonate with everyone like that. The 'Hits' do.

Nas hits IMO:

Hate Me Now
If I Ruled the World
Oochie Wally
Made You Look
I Can
Street Dreams Remix

That's actually respectable :ehh:

Cam's Spotify numbers are surprising, just barely cracking 2m, I thought he'd be higher tbh

Nas has more songs on Hot 100
Cam has more songs as a lead artist that charted higher

in 2025 shyt don't even matter
Nas has more iconic songs

if Jada alone bodied Dipset in a Verzuz imagine what Nas could do :dead:

nikkaz on here would lead you to believe that movement was some Wu tang like shyt :pachaha:

Pretty sure there was a Dip Set was more influential than Wu thread on here at one point with a lot of dudes agreeing :mjlol:

Problem is there's a subset that was 13-18 in 2006, mostly from DMV up to the Northeast, that's got this crazily over inflated view of how big they was overall. No doubt they had a hardcore and obsessive fanbase but most parts of the country it wasn't that big a deal.

And the over the top emphasis they put on Jim being a fashionista :mjlol: all because he started dressing in a style that was already popular in mainstream white culture for years.

you didnt answer my question,, if Cam has more hits.. why aint he on an an arena tour? doing major festivals etc
Snoop has more hits than Nas and ain't on a world tour so what's your point. Y'all gotta put some respect on Jimmy's name
