At what?

He's in the top teir of SOME things in rap.

But, he's not the best at anything.

I take that back, Like I keep saying...Nas is the best at making music for his fans

I guess you were replying to me? ehh ok...

Nas is the best writer and lyricist in hip-hop history. No one has put words together better than dude, IMO. When Illmatic dropped, no one heard words put together like that before. Q-tip, Pete Rock, Premo, Large Pro talked about Nas like he was a legend before Illmatic even dropped...that's how advanced he was.

anyway, I ain't wastin no more on this thread. Nas is the best to do this art called rapping.

Nas surpassed them bro. I hated IWW-Nastradamus Nas too but he surpassed them
The last 12 years have been stellar for him. He's the best MC in Hiphop 1st 40 years.


the last 12 years have yielded nothing but forgettable material from the guy who squandered his chance.

13-12 = 1

so you're really sitting here telling from 2001 till today he's been on fire? shame on you.

Mastery of mic presence

has mastered the art of recreation, by many times using different flows and different cadences each release

His ill wordplay, double entendres

His versatility in that he can ride just about any beat

No one can move a live crowd like him :noah:

ALso personally, dat nikka arrogant as fck on da mic ....and unlike alot of these other rappers..u can feel a sense of realness in his bragodocious rhymes

:noah:

Nas is just confused as usual....one day you a black militant,next day u threatning harm on your fellow brutha who takes offense to gweneth paltrow sayin the word nikka....one day liquor ads are disgusting and destroying the community,next day u aaaaalll in the magazines posin next to hennesy bottles:mjpls:....one day its oochie wally next day its one mic:mjpls:....two faced c00n nikka need two mics:ufdup:

so Jay even bit the dualities from Nas?!

:lupe:

In reality tho, because Nas is in it for the music, for the art...we know what Jay is in it for...that's what it comes down to in the end...which is why this right here is also 100% truth.
Cause people would say Nas was the best,if he never once uttered that he was.....with Jay, he has to tell people he's the best ever...cause his music can't speak for itself.

I wish it was that innocent bruh...but Jay is genuinley complex as a thinker....Nas just puttin on a front so not to piss off his hardcore fanbase that was :sadbron: and :damn: the first time he tried to sell out....they pay the bills so if he has to make unsincere concious records about how militant he is and a guardian defending hiphops honor so they will support and don't blow the lid off they kufis he will continue do it.....Nas dualities are simply based on capatlism....as are Jays but at least Jay let it be known and not tryna fool people.


Jay that preacher sellin "success oils" at 3am on BET...Nas the low down dirty preacher tellin his flock about all the good he doin in the community,but in reality by "doin good" he mean tippin...and by "the community" he mean Magic City:mjpls:...can't knock the hussle:manny: they both laughin to the bank.

Nas never says he is the best in convo or interviews but in rhymes, he has said he is the "best who ever did" multiple times. He is though, without any doubt and its not even close.

Jay always says it because no one, with real cred in the games, says it. Jay has also said that he has a number of classic albums, when IMO he only has Blueprint and a number of good albums.

Jay is arrogant as hell. Interesting to see when it catches up to him again. Ether was the first time. When he said in a recent interview that he is "charity" like obama, I was too through. He is an attention whore.

The irony coming from some of these nas groupies. They are so busy riding nas dikk that they're blind and they cant think. "oh no nas is humble" "nas is smart and simple he doesnt brag." "well maybe he does but he is so humble. He s the goat" Proof that you fakkits dont even listen to his music. Just posting on his board still stuck in 2001 case you fatherless fukkers hate jay z.
You fakkits ass crabs disgust me :manny:

If you can't respect Nas as one of the greatest to ever rap, your opinion doesn't amount to shyt.
