To be such a revered rapper

I started posting on Sohh in like 09.

Maybe it's a southern thing

But, Jay, Big, Cube, scarface, Kast were considered legendary.

Also I was force fed Illmatic( but That's another topic)

Anyway, isn't transcending fanbases and regions a requirement to be held in the likes of other greats?

I'm not too familiar with the threadstarter but I'm assuming his rep is ass because he's used to making these type of troll threads.

probably because popular southern rappers of the time like TI, Wayne etc were offsprings of Jay-Z more than of Nas. It does seem that Nas appreciation elided some arists of that region and generation (Jeezy..)

this i have not heard any rapper from the south that i recall coming out sounding like nas the only new york rappers people in the south only liked was jay-z and biggie for the most part.

I grew up heavily West Coast biased in California and I had to admit Illmatic was some serious shyt. Nas and BCC were the only east coast music I had to get. Not even wu was as high on my list.
