[OG Talk]

I always said the two best runs in hip hop were

Cube from about 92-96and Bone from 94-97

His best two albums were released in '90 and '91 though..

Call it what you want but Cube's material speaks for itself. You say he only has 2 classics and 1 good album. Nas only has 2 albums on Cube's level. His first two. Not to mention Nas is known to take years in between making his albums. Cube dropped classic after classic for 8 years. Marinate on that.

Cube has 3 indisputable, genre defining classics to his name. Nas has one and a possible*


* the most polarizing, conflicted opinion album ever.

It Was Written > anything Cube ever had out

Cube = 5 years of greatness

Nas= 19 years with superior lyricism

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't act like Nas hasn't put out duds throughout his career. Nas has had moments of greatness in between meh albums. It Was Written was good but is nowhere near the level of AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate.

good?

the whole album is fire and it aged pretty nicely.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted didn't age all that well.

Cube is probably the "hardest" mc of all time.

Nas Is Coming

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted sounds great still and the topics he was addressing are still relevant today.

Amerikkkas Most is a zillion times iller than IWW
