Yeah this is on the level of Memory Lane. The World Is Yours. One Love verses etc. Said Noone ever. Lol. Most of them nikkas verses was similar and didnt have that type of depth. These nikkas wasn't nicer than Big L let alone Nas.

That's an assumption,we've already established Diddy convinced mase to sellout....I'm sure he could've pandered to the backpacker crowd if he wanted to,nas didn't have that much depth at the time.

From a technical standpoint he's as nice,flows better,and delivery wise I'd say he's better here...If the answer is he didn't have enough performances like this one that would be understandable.

Nah. Son this is like MAYBE on the level of 91 Nas. It's not even about backpack crowd. He just wasn't a better rhymer. This Mase Drug Warz freestyle was from like 95. Not 93. This is 91 Nas bro. Mase ain't even fukkin wit this. Let alone Illmatic Nas.



Also Mase's flow or delivery ain't better. Not even bro. U think his flow on Drug Warz is better than Illmatic Nas? This ain't even Illmatic Nas right here. Listen to the second verse.



Nas has far more depth in his rhymes. We aint gonna derail the thread tho bro. Lol

Exactly. Mase was a beast but nikkas is getting ahead of themselves. Lol. And this Drug Warz freestyle ain't even from 93. It was more like 95. After Illmatic came out.

All of COC sounded like AZ with different voices in terms of flow and syllable use...nikkas were skilled mc's
shyt i wouldnt even say AZ

Bloodshed and Cam definitely came from the school of Kool G Rap

Cam himself said in an interview he studied G Rap coming up. He related to G Rap cause they both had the lisp

Think the brehs are going to love this one...best video I've come acrossed since I posted that qb documentary on

Believe this is some of the only footage out there of bloodshed and some of the other coc members when they were younger. I only speak English so I can't make out what the narrator is saying but you can hear the members in the background and they do a performance plus play some other tracks. Seems to be pretty rare footage ...I know at the least I've never seen it posted here
