Fair enuff. Lyricism is open to interpretation. I think Nas is a much better technical writer with multis and stuff but thats just one way to perceive lyricism, i'll grant you that.
Pac is great, i've grown to appreciate him more as I grow older. But Nas is to me more well rounded artist, and i think if you are talking about being the goat you should be skilled at nearly everything related to emceeing
I think it's almost a disease how some think it's the amount of multies used that dictates the quality of lyrics, as that negates so many other factors. Not saying your saying this, just in general. But it's an excuse to ignore so many other things . I think being a dope lyricist is writing the most effective lyrics. I think Pac was a great lyricist, highly underrated, I think Nas is brilliant too. Yes, that's what I mean, plus Pac had loads of multies too, it's just ignored because of his delivery. Pac was almost too good of an MC/artist, he sounded so natural and effortless that people ignore the technical prowess he has. Cause he doesn't sound like he's being technical, he just sounds like he's spitting but when you break it down he is ripping it.
I love Nas, I think Nas has his strong points and so does Pac. But I think Pac is more well rounded, I think Pac is more diverse, Pac can make more different types of songs well. I'd say that's what being well rounded is. I think Nas has the edge in terms of creative concepts, that's something Nas is on a high level on and maybe only a few are as good or better like a K-Rino or Last Emperor. I think Pac was skilled as an MC, I think he was better live than Nas, had more flavor, probably better hooks, he was very skilled.
But at the end of the day both are great, so you can't really go wrong with either choice.
