no he isn’t.

Y’all was just griping about him not being able to make party music, so that kills that anology.

I didnt say anything about him not being able to that, and spoke on/stated the same Bron analogy in some other thread months go.

Nas is a complete/all around emcee

Yeah that era from like 2006-2014 when going plat was like maybe 8 or less acts sometimes is why even going a higher gold (600k-750l) and debuting high like number 1 was impressive still.

yea that was before streaming era records sales was a all time low going gold was like going plat in that time period

Nope. That nikka is a straight up Nas fanatic at this point. Literally no disputing it I don’t even see no celebrity repping for Nas the way Bron does. nikka bumpin Nas shyt almost every other day. Buys mad of his merch n all that. While everyone was tryna hate on Lost Tapes 2. Bron was bumpin the hell out of it.

This thread still going? I told y'all it's because Nas is a good looking bruh..like Rakim and Pac

Imagine being that poetic as them and being handsome on top of that?

Nas said it best.."girls dig you..imagine what they feel for me :what:"

he isn't pushed; he's universally accepted as that no matter how much these new cats, talking try to downplay it/rewrite history



Nas is revered by greats from the past, his era and even the new school gen, that we consider great currently as we speak

...I can go on and on

Pac, jayz and Biggie at some point all bowed down to Nas; and it's on record:usure:


The only people who downplay Nas are hip hop casuals that don't know what the fucck they're talking about any people who can't let go of the Nas and Jay-Z battle.

As for everyone else, Nas been literally heralded as THAT DUDE since day one. Since his introduction to the rap world with his Live at the BBQ verse. He was immediately regarded as the "the Rakim". The Source automatically gave ILLMATIC five mics, and people over the decades recognized and revered ILLMATIC to be true. And not only that, Nas still had to pay dues. He had to prove that he can be a multiplatinum commercial selling artist. He had to prove that he can battle against the best, which was Jay-Z. He had to prove his own longevity. Who today is NOT looking at Nas as one of the greatest to do it? Nobody is downplaying Nas. That doesn't mean that rappers was to carve their own lane. You don't have to be the next Nas to be successful or look onto what Nas did and imitate it. But everyone who is true hip hop knows how huge of a contribution Nas gave to the culture his entire 30 year career.

Exactly. No one downplayed Nas, shyt we all Nas stans on this forum :russ:

Everyone knew what was up, and still do.

Pap is stanning hard but it's okay.

Fam. There’s literally no proof of that. U talkin bout some high school shyt and I’m talking about what he been doing as a grown ass man for years now. Do u know Bron? I’m confused fam. Lol. We can only go by what he’s shown us and from what his actions show. He a bigger Nas fan at this point in his life. Why u actin like that’s impossible? To the point of disputing visual evidence? Lol.

Because it’s not true this nikka based his whole business persona off Jay Z, been throwing up the diamond his whole career, always bumps Jay, shyt they have a personal relationship this is not some HS shyt. He just went viral bumping Jay on his birthday

He showed Nas some love when his albums dropped that’s his “hip hop historian” shtick now y’all saying he’s more of a Nas guy :stopitslime:
