Nas - The GOAT inspired it was written

[BulletProof]

It don’t matter cause Biggie did it and did it effortlessly, many other nikkas tried to copy and failed horribly

It obviously required effort or we would have gotten an album of Money & Bullshyt.

Lol how is it a sellout album? Y’all call it a sell out album then hype up 50 Cent and Eminem. Nas shyt was still girmey as fk.



Nas smart as fukk, rap over polished beats and make that fukking money.

That Lauryn Hill joint and the R Kelly remix really did wonders for ol buddy.

Biggie bit off him in reality. But cool. They both inspired eachother.

I'm just going by what Nas said. If Nas said he bit then who am I to argue?

 

[Boonapalist]

Wow so he inspired him to make a weaker album? I’m so impressed

 

[ISO]

He already admitted on LRNA that he bit Biggie and Wu. Nothing new here.

Bit is crazy shyt is a drag

It was never that serious

You can’t make an Illmatic twice shyt would be wack

 

[Bondye Vodou]

You’re opinion. Still a classic, still his highest selling album to date.

I commend Nas for recognizing the weakness in his bars and production on Illmatic and delivering a better all around album on It Was Written. Had he continued that type of improvement each album he'd be a lot higher on my all time list.

 

[MikeStamina]

thank you Biggie for making Nas sell out

Word to OC

 

[Ol’Otis]

Took home, ready to die, listened, studied shyt
Now they on some money shyt, successful out the blue

 

[Boonapalist]

You can’t make an Illmatic twice shyt would be wack

That wasn’t the problem to me. It was the production was a weaker. And Nas doesn’t have the charisma on the mic like Big or Jay to make up for it.

Why is weirdo ass Nas talking to GQ anyway
You been the flyest dude in Rap for a good 25yrs
How many times they put you on the cover
Response should've been fukk off

 

[Ziggiy]

In all honestly, that really means Diddy did.

Biggie wanted to make his illmatic (his words) but Diddy pushed him in the ultra commercial Notorious B.I.G. direction.

At the end of the day, how much of the Notorious B.I.G was Diddy's vision? How much really came from Biggie Smalls alone?

Biggie wrote those lyrics and rapped with that butter smooth flow.

Diddy could have all the vision in the world, but it didn’t matter how many producers he stole beats from or radio stations he payed to spin records if the main man isn’t a star.
