Link me?
I didn't say that. You said "most people would agree" that KRS 1 has a great voice or Trag to be specific to this thread. The numbers don't bare that out, regardless of my personal taste.
Going Gold back then was like selling 200k-250k now...
There were always flops but going gold was not hard....lol
Even Nature went gold..not trying to shyt on him,but just to prove a point

KRS has albums that have sold nearer the million range. Numbers are dictated by all kinds of different factors, it isn't the be all and end all when forming conclusions. I'm speaking on Hip Hop heads opinions. I've NEVER heard anyone ever see Nore >.. Trag.

He went Gold 3 times as part of Boogie Down Production (Which all were solo albums from KRS)
And 1 time as a solo artists.

The reason why Trag resented Nas is because he was rapping about what Trag was really living and felt that Nas took his whole style and blew up with it.
My point is that they both are average. Trag has a better pen game and Nore has significantly better mic presence, don't know how you debate that unless you have "old ears"

So did Mega. In fact, Every project nikka in New York said nas was rapping about what they was living. That's why illmatic got so much acclaim.

i don't even think cormega's problem was just that. go listen to the very first track he ever recorded(i forget the name of it), you can't tell me the lyricism doesn't remind you of a young nas.
the track was made in 87 or 89 i think. even the testament will show you the similarities. nas just did it with a better flow.

Are we talking bout mega or trag?
Mega and nas are both intelligent street dudes from the same neighborhood, who ran in similar circles, I'm not suprised they rhymed similar. Plus mega said he was proud when he first heard nas rhyme on a track, the bitterness didn't come till long after
Trag is far from average. You sound like a dude who only heard War Report. Have you heard Tragedy's work as Tragedy and before as Intelligent Hoodlum? Be honest... Cause your posts before said you hadn't really checked for Trag like that. If not go back... At least listen to Still Reportin first lol. Trag is A LOT better than Nore, Nore is decent but Trag is a GREAT MC, not just average. Tragedy always felt he had a better mic presence, even on that level Trag better in my opinion, and as an artist it's not comparable really as Tragedy is far superior.

Nore wasn't a mastermind rapper but he is one of the most charismatic rappers. His presence carried him.

I edited my post
Yes I heard all that and it's average. Where did I say I never heard him? I heard both them first two solos and it was whatever. You have "old ears" breh if you really think Trag is capturing the average person's attention like Nore with mic presence/ voice. Neither are worth any kind of thread dedicated to them.
