HOLD ON Sohh: Is Nas the Goat? - Page 3 - ProjectCOVO.com Global Forum

(fukk SOHH)

I asked the question after Watch The Throne dropped last summer. This nikka is the greatest MC to pic up a microphone. This is coming from a nikka that always preferred Hova but its undeniable. When Nasir gets on production that meshes with his lyrics its not even close.


I know Jay is somewhere like damn I can't drop another BP3 esq album.

Comeback artist of the year.

Name a rapper that this nikka hasn't influenced

music is subjective, there's no such thing as a GOAT... it's not sports, where there's statistical evidence to back up an assertion or claim; if you say Nas is the GOAT and I say nah, it's Hov, neither of us can offer proof, nor will we change each other's minds, so it's pointless to even discuss

Hip Hop is a very broad genre. There are certain types of music that Nas can't really create, but he is very good at the aspects he usually sticks to.

Deep down inside I had to be honest with myself

Nasir is it. His weakness is his production falling below his lyrical perfection. That isn't the case on this last album. Its no modern illmatic but in 2012 it sounds beautiful.

In the midst off all the euro influenced bull shyt (BP3, MBDTF) Nas is putting shyt back in perspective

Nas might the goat

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

now you can argue who the GREATEST is in terms of notoriety and accolades; or you can say "Nas is MY personal favorite MC ever", but this GOAT shyt is retarded...

even if I wanted to believe Nas is the GOAT, what am I supposed to do? have a pow wow with my ear drums and tell them they need to get their shyt together and start liking Nas' music more?

Stats or not, you cant convince an older person that Jordan is btter than Magic.

But for me, Nas is gonna lap Jigga on the backend.....unless this resurgence inspires Jay to get back in the studio and go hard. But his life is too good for him to really go there in his mind.

The pop crowd will always see Jay as better but the real rap heads will know the truth.

I remember that album you dropped in 2009

That could be a misconception. Eminem will always be viewed as better from a mainstream standpoint but who cares

Nas is lapping jigga on the backend. I noticed that shyt last year. Jay literally is relying on the people around him to keep him going. Nas is creating from life experiences STILL.

Music is too subjective for there to be a GOAT of any genre. I usually ignore anyone that claims a certain artist is the best as if its factual. It just sounds stupid.

Just enjoy the music.

You young nikkas must not have been in any of those "Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas" debates back in the day

Let me tell you, they were raw as hell and in hindsight Nas has surpassed both. nikkas thats really about the culture will understand what I'm saying.

RIP Big

(nikkas was always biting Nas on the low. His album covers, his rhyme schemes, fukking his girl and asking mad questions about him... shyt all makes sense now)

proof you say?

that's the rap equivalent to what MJ did in basketball
