How come Nas deflects praise when people says hes the best But Jay-z goes out his way to say hes the

[Shadow King]

humility vs marketing savvy

[Hawaiian Punch]

As the goat nas stated in the goat diss track ether:



Jay is extremely insecure and needs to either tell you how great he is, or use his vampiric powers to steal your swag. Nas on the other hand tries to evolve as both an artist and human. Self praise doesn't allow you to fulfill the true journey

 

[Gravity]

nope he never has

"you should idolize Nas in the flesh, don't wait till I'm dead to say that I was the best"

"16 years since my 1st 16, pardon the rest of my nikkas, but I'm the best who ever did it"

Nas/Kobe cocksuckers are the worst.

Because he's a dikk riding fakkit who loves the attention.

^Beat me to it

These cats say the craziest things on here. Sometimes I wonder when they started listening to rap.

 

[Gravity]

Nas is probably the most arrogant cat in the game. He made a song called "carry the cross" and has God's Son tatted on his stomach and you clowns are trying to paint dude as humble

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

I don't even fukk with Nas like that but he is clearly the best rapper alive

No one is even close to him.

then why dont u fukk with him?

 

[Big Mel]

Nas has sneak dissed/back hand complimented the legends twice by my count.

Some shyt about "when you become better than the legends you grew up with"

Two times I've heard him say this shyt.


fukk Nas.

nah

Nas> Jayz.

Nas is humble, smart, and makes great music. Jayz is rich, identifies himself with cacs, and brags about is money and laughs at his fans in the process. All that wealth he has cannot put him in front of the gawd

Therefore >

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.

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Pardon the rest of my nikkaz, but im the best that ever did it - nas

IWW Nas was dope AF. I Am was solid, Nastradamus was the only wack album.

 

[feelosofer]

Nas has said he was the best a couple of times, but he doesn't bleat about it to Jay-Z's extent.

 

[prophecypro]

Hes said he's the best a couple of times as others have mentioned but he's also said to never put him in the top 10 ahead the legends.
