The options of people who don't live by music arent to be counted.

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
Nas is a Great MC, Lyricist, and Rapper...


But Artist????? :patrice:

I dunno bruh. I don't see people dying to see him in concert, I only remember like 2 of his music videos and I feel like as an great artist you have to bring more than just lyrics to the table....

He's in my top 10, but I understand where the causal music fan is coming from.
:mindblown:

Pretty much online he's a legend but I rarely hear anyone mention him offline. Can't remember the last time someone brought his beef with Jay-Z up like you see online just about every month. No one calls each other a Stan or says ether. The rest of the world moved on while online communities seem to be stuck in some old ass era

Nas is you favorite rappers favorite rapper








even the younger generation know from the north to the south and out west whats up





...nas inspires the non-rappers too:ahh:

People hype up pac because a lot of them wanna live out their gangsta fantasy.

Jay-Z gets his hype from the media.

Biggie gets his from every rapper worth a damn.

Nas don't really have that type of dying love like that ya know.:yeshrug:

They got a very similar discography. They got the classic, a couple good albums, and a bunch of mediocre shyt. Snoop got way better side projects, way better singles, way more charismatic. I'd take tha last meal and the blue carpet over anything nas has done since the year 2000. Jay fall in the same category as well. nikkas getting hyped off of what they did a couple decades ago, i noticed it only works for east coast rappers though.

Snoop slowly catching up to nikkas like the tortise and the hair:ohhh:?

So Cal
.
I never labeled Nas The Greatest Of All Time. There is NO UNDISPUTED GOAT just a bunch of opinions. Just like having "album of the year" is based on opinion. Nothing is a huge deal when you are not dealing with reality. I don't have to live in Cali to know that Nas' music has been played on Cali radio stations after God's Son. Answer this: Do these people you claim call Nas the goat "only online"...not live in the real world offline? By the way, having multiple concerts in Cali is greater than radio play in Cali. The Cali fans aren't complaining. PEACE!
Yeah that's my bad, i was going off the original post. Usually on thecoli "goat" and "favorite" mean the same shyt. I don't know why you keep bringing up the radio shyt. unless you listening to kday where they play old shyt, you're not hearing recent nas songs. That's not how LA radio works. Idk why that's so hard for you to understand. The question was asked is he called great offline, and like i said I've only heard one nikka praise nas in my whole life. Nas is a fukking legend, i don't know why you keep making him doing concerts in cali a huge accomplishment. nikkas do concerts in cali everyday breh.

I'm convinced you nikkas live in trailer parks, no offense or nothin like that, but just reading the original thread and the posts that followed, :bryan:.

Of course if you mention Nas, Rakim, Cube, Ghostface, Common, (anyone who isn't on the radio/blogs/clubs 100x a day), to the average country bumpkin/youngin they'll look at you crazy and tell you that Gucci Mane and TI and these nikkas are the GOATS ahead of them. It's not an online thing, it's a out of town/young idiot thing.

fukk the casual music fan.

Rap is the only thing in the world where we're supposed to cater to people that ain't even that into the subject at hand. Imagine discussing who's the best point guard in history and entertaining the opinion of someone that doesn't even watch basketball regularly. It would never happen. shyt is ridiculous even suggesting it.
