Is Nas being a great rapper only an online thing?

this is a pure bullshyt lie right here.


hes right breh.

outside of when they tried to push that "hero" song:laugh: "i can" is probably the last nas song I recall getting regular rotation on radio.

maybe I'm forgetting something.


Fam in the last few years alone u had Daughters. Nas The Don. Bye Baby. His hook was used for Stay Schemin. shyt. Right now they play Nas Album Done. And this is all from the last few years.


youre forgetting that you live in new York.

I think daughters and bye baby might've got a lil play over here. I'm not even sure about that. I know I darn sure didn't hear that stuff on the radio down south & such.

Son im in the city with the most popular hip hop and rnb radio stations in the world. That counts for more than something. U really tryna tell me u haven't heard Just A Moment on the radio or like the video wasn't on the countdown on 106 and Park? And that's the next album over from God's Son.

There's ur answer bro. They have a couple popular 80s nikkas from NY cause in the 80s NY ran shyt. If u was into hip hop u fukked wit NY. But in the 90s is when regionalism hit an all time high. So the shyt spread out more. Especially when it comes to casual hip hop fans. But if u ever got sat in the room with some legit hip hop fans he's always gonna come up. U don't get the accolades and career Nas has had from Internet fame.
That makes sense. :ehh:. Thanks man. I know it was a stupid question to ask but I just wanted to get a better understsnding. I guess I was coming from a different perspective than them so it got me confused.

dog. nobody cares about new York stations except new York & north jersey. people like the breakfast club, and its in syndication now, but they don't care what music is being played.

this attitude is the reason why people hate new York so much.

and nas is from new York, releasing big budgeted albums. of course theyre gonna play him on your local NY radio stations.

and no, I never heard "just a moment" on daytime radio. I don't even remember It being played on the mix-shows and I was in philly when that was out. just a couple doors down from NY. they did spin that jam-master jay remake on the mix-shows heavy tho.

I don't have any kind of attitude. I hate our radio stations. So I'm not tryna be cocky. Please fam. Ive heard far worse when I go out of town. Yet nikkas always talkin bout NY when in reality we embrace everybody shyt. And it's been like that forever. Every region has bias. It is what it is. But I just can't picture a song that's on the countdown of one of the most popular tv shows at the time not being played on any radio outside of NY. Nas even went on a radio run promoting Quan at the time cause he was in demand. How u think Quan got on ur fellow Philly brethren Cassidy's second album. The song was poppin fam.

If you talk to people into hip hop, outside the internet and bring up Nas the reaction (for me) has always been ":gladbron: you listen to Nas too? What's your favorite......" followed by a half hour of hip hop talk.

But that's just me, a hip hop head on and offline.
