Nas Has Always Had A Major Weakness That Biggie/Jay-Z Never Have. He’s never been great at…

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Rapping over beats from other regions or different tempos. It’s never been his thing…at all

He probably has 3-4 tempos he’s comfortable with and sounds the best at. It’s almost how like Kiss knows his lane and raps over Beats where he doesn’t have to deviate from that

Compare that to…

You really tried to use 40 side as an example of Nas NOT being able to rap on beats from other regions or tempos

attempts?



he nailed those...

Nas got the worst nit picking critics of all time.

nikkaz gonna talk all this shyt then go listen to Blue face and Tee Grizzly no problems.

 

[NoHalfWay]

Using double time flow Nas flowed his ass off on Big Girl just as good as any of those nikkas…. but that fukkin hook is just terrible

Mega embarrassed Nas by dissing him doing the double time flow 10x better than him on that joint with Carl Thomas on the deep blue sea soundtrack

he's noticeably weak at that midwest rap style

But Nas can kill a west coast beat

For the most part West Coast production mirrors east coast stuff in tempo so he would be fine.
