It's almost insulting at this point.


However I think we can all agree that outside the booth, Nas isn't exactly the sharpest pencil in the box

Honestly, as far as accomplishments, longevity, and relevance, there is only ONE rapper who can stand toe to toe with Nasir, and his name is Jay-Z. So really it hould be unarguable that the Goat debate is only between those 2. Now taking the battle out of the discussion, Jay-Z has ADMITTED both to his fans and himself that he's "dumbed down his lyrics to double his dollars". As we know and understand that Hip Hop is both a culture and a business we can't alone put this against Jay, sometimes you have to play the game, fair enough. But now BOTH artists have cemented legacies, BOTH artists are more than secure financially, and Both artists are looked at as icons. There is no reason for either of them to have to dumb it down, so what does Nas do? He raps from his soul, he challenges the status quo (Hip Hop Is Dead) he makes intelligent and poignant statements on race relations and the African American experience in this country (Untitled) he champions African culture, identity, and strength (Distant Relatives) as well as looks inward with deep introspection, astoundingly brutal honesty, and maturity (Life Is Good) Nas uses his platform, his talent, his passion and his focus to continuing to bring both new and unique aspects to the genre. He does it all with the skill of a genius and the poise of a legend. Sure On To The Next one and nikkas In Paris will make us get hype, but Africa Must Wake Up and Daughters will make us THINK. nikkas in Paris won't be remembered beyond the next sophisticated ignorance anthem that Kanye can cook up, but Bye Baby, as a testament to the complexities of marriage will be timeless, for the message itself will remain relevant for as long as man dares gives his heart to a woman and it doesn't work out.


THAT is why Nas is the greatest, because he is the ONLY one on a mainstream level who for TWENTY YEARS has searched deep enough within himself to figure out how to relate to an audience, grow with an audience, and continually captivate an audience with lyricism and music of true SUBSTANCE. Nas is who you turn too when you need an example of Hip Hop as art, as culture, as poetry, as a way of LIFE. An 8th grade drop out who writes with the complexity and ferocity James Baldwin, the beauty and elegance of Shakespeare, and the cadence and confidence of Langston Hughes. Truly a remarkable example of the genre. THE GREATEST......

You might not quite know who I am bruh so ill introduce myself this once. I am Ziggiy (the Z is NOT silent) and I am the Nas Stan to end all Nas Stans. Me and my nikkas @JoelB @MC Brew and @AkaDemiK form like Voltron to create an unstoppable stanning force the likes of which haven't been seen since Ether Day. What I said on the Nas Vs. Jay-Z debate was GRACIOUS given what could be said. I implore you to look within and ask yourself if you are prepared to go 12 rounds with me, because we ALL know in the end who pops shyt and apologizes....:huhldup:



But let's keep that between me and you for now:mjpls:
