I always thought nas' throaty voice sounds dope on hooks. but only nasty nas era sounds good (94-96 i'd say), any later than that kinda sounds like shyt :bryan:

Give me, Just give me, Gimme what you can't get back :ahh:

I guess Nas has an average hook game, I agree with what you said about his voice.

But then again it may be because I'm just looking for something that isn't supposed to be there.

Nas has his moments where he shines on his hooks

Ex: My Way, Doo Rags, I Gave You Power, Gimme Yours, Deja Vu



But he really ain't that type of mc honestly, Alot of his best songs either have no hooks or someone else doing them via a sample or something



I'd rate him average to below average

not sayin hooks dont matter...but personally theyre the last thing i check for in a HIP HOP...not rap..but HIP HOP song

1. lyrics
2. beat
3. hook

to keep it simple

Top 10 Nas' choruses

1.

Sometimes I wonder
Will a nikka go under because of his hunger
This game is risky
If a nikka slips six feet
Will these nikkaz really miss me?
Dead partners too soon
All these nikkaz flipping on me
Cause I won't give no loot to them
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I...

2.

Poppa was a player, player wasn't poppa
Poppa loved the ladies
Never got enough of
The pretty brown round
Running round town (Shhhhh)
Don't tell your mother what's going down...

3.

(I) fukk with your soul like ether
(Will) Teach you the king you know you
(Not) "God's son" across the belly
(Lose) I prove you lost already

4.

Street dreams are made of these
nikkaz push Beemers and 300 E's
A drug dealer's destiny is reachin a key
Everybody's lookin for somethin..
Street dreams are made of these
Shorties on they knees, for nikkaz with big G's
Who am I to disagree?
Everybody's lookin for somethin..

5.

How you like me now? I go blaow
It's that shyt that moves crowds makin every ghetto foul
I might have took your first child
Scarred your life, crippled your style
I gave you power
I made you buck wild

6.

I'm drunk by myself, gun under my seat
I don't want none of my peeps caught up in none of my beef
I'm a ride to the end of the road if I have to
Praying no car speeds by for me to crash to
Steering wheel in my hand
Trying to hold it steady
Anything in my way is dead
Cause that's the way I feel, I am already
When I'm drunk by myself alone in the zone
Drunk by myself

7.

The doo rags are back, fitted hats, snorkels and furs
Riker's Island bustin, still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinkin, or puffin they herb
And I'm, still enjoyin life's ride; one mo' time
The doo rags are back, fitted hats, snorkels and furs
Riker's Island bustin, still packed, what's the word?
The drinkers stay drinkin, or puffin they herb
And I'm, still enjoyin life's ride; right ?

8.

It's a small world
nikka you reap what you sew
What goes around, comes around
If you sleep you don't know
A very small world
where beef could never end
At the time you least expect it
I'ma see you again
It's a small world
You get away with it now
Soon enough it catches up to you
Someway, somehow
Yo it's a small world
Watch what you do...

9.

They shootin' ! Aw made you look
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book
Gettin' big money, playboy your time's up
Where them gangstas ? Where them dimes at ?

10.

War is necessary
War brings pain
But war is necessary
War brings peace
Cause war is necessary
Getcha warriors up
Cause my nikkas are war ready
War brings hate
Cause war is necessary
War brings peace
Cause war is necessary
War brings pain
Cause war is necessary
Getcha warriors up
Cause my nikkas are war ready
My nikkas war ready
