Nas doesnt have one song better than...

[blackslash]

are you laughing at you Pac stanning buffoon, Pac never came through lyrically like that the only track fukking with this lyrically from Pac is Blasphemy, the instrumental is hypnotic beautiful xylophone composition, Q-Tip blessed the hook, and Nas spit a fukking epic about an incarcerated friend.

Niggga who gives a fck bout "huur durr came thru lyrically"

Nas never ever ever dropped a song as strong and as powerful as pain

By a wide variety rappers, from different generations, as well as rap fans. Illmatic's critical acclaim and reverence is well documented, and undeniable. It's one thing if you think that Pac has better albums, but to deny Illmatic's status in the game is just foolish.

Im not shytting on illmatic. I love the album. I think its one of the greatest albums ever. But Im done accepting some revisionist elitist narrative that illmatic is the greatest thing since sliced bread and pacs albums dont compare. fukk that.

illmatic was lyricism at its finest, pick any of those 3 pac classics, that hip hop music at its finest. thats artistry at its finest. thats poetry at its finest.

again, im not shytting on nas or illmatic. i fukk with those albums. but that pac love is genuine. and as we get older and older, his music, because of how fukkin real it was, and how it was a sign of those times and his life, it doesnt resonate well with asians, and white boys, and nerdy hipsters who are looking to get into rap. it doesnt resonate with jimmy fallon watching, "i love wu tang and the roots" white boys, it doesnt resonate with backpacker types who listen to sage francis

illmatic appeals to them because its lyricism and thats it. they can appreciate that in an abstract sense. there is no abstract appreciation of pac. its emotional shyt and ya had to be there. and im speaking on those bandwagon types that jumped on pacs dikk after he died too. theyre in the same boat

Nas could go there, but he just couldn't do it as raw as Pac



Nas probably dreamed of making a song like this before.

None of that ultra lyrical shyt.Just pure soul baring, simple truths.

He didn't have the pain in his belly to conjure it up & deliver it like a old Negro Spiritual

He's a better technician than Pac, but I don't think that's something Pac put much of a emphasis on.

It's the classic observer(Nas) vs the participant(Pac).

The observer is interesting, but the participant's testimony will always hit you deep down in your bone marrow.

I think on an intrinsic, visceral level...Pac was more in tune with the pathos of black plight/pain than Nas

One speaking a testimony from experience will always have more spirit than that which was merely observed

Real talk

 

[AMcV'88]

not to mention some Ja Rule remake he did

i was like 13 and heard that shyt before Pac's version and i was like
asked my cousin if he heard it and he just gave me the and told me about the original.

i only had All Eyez On Me, Makavelli and his Greatest Hits w/ Hit Em Up on it at that point.

This n!gga

He could of at least said E. 1999 Eternal

You must be kidding me, white mans world is good, but in terms of political songs, it really isn't anything that Nas ain't capable of.

Nas was cerebral technician, Pac was the drunken staggered boxer who could hit hard as hell but with no emphasis on his technique,

This is Mayweather Vs Naseem Hamed

What the fukk you talking about lmaao?

You think Pac is the only black man to have suffered racism?

nikka said merely observed like Nas is a white man.

Creepin on ah Comeup > Illmatic. Keep it real.

Lol. Real talk. Pac, like a bunch of other top MC's, was a Nas stan.

 

[Ohene]
