How did Nas get so good at reading the pulse of streets?

[L. Deezy]

Floss tactics? There is a lot of "flossing" on LIG

Nas music it's not played in the streets.

The streets you know of today are weak. Dudes play music to get females these days. That's how soft they are in 2012.

Nas is the definition of an MC. He embodies the genre from graphitti to breaking to djing. Probably the best to do IMO. To be a true MC and move the crowd, u have to know what moves the crowd. In other words you have to be one with the crowd.

That said, IMO, Jay is the best rapper. He embodies the popular aspects of hip hop. The fashion and language, the mannerisms, the trends and the business side.

But you are right forgot about him being in Kingston sharing blunts with nikkas, I'll take my L and bow out for that

naw that was DMX and Ox....or Teddy Bruckshot (even though he went out like a bytch in Shottas)

 

[Hova]

when he released the best album in the last 5 or so years

I like Nas, but please, shyt barely in the nominations for top 5 this year. Get off his dikk.

I think the streets did need Oochie Wally.

I loved it personally.

Remember when Nas said Jungle was a creative force and cited the fact that Jung had created the term "Oochie Wally?"

 

[Heretic]

I dunno but I think nas' raps should be locked in a cell it aint hard to tell
