Yes that’s a lot of albums and you prob missing some

Nas fans don’t want to have a real conversation y’all have this tired discussion all the time but when you get an answer y’all start Juelzing :hubie:

If Nas released better albums and had hit records post-2002 he would be held in a higher light he wouldn’t get “downplayed”, “disrespected”, “underrated” or any of that.

he had great albums post 2002

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:"

This is stupid. How many rappers that debuted in 94 have the binder test like Nas? shyt Biggie only has 2 fukkin albums and one of em dropped right when he died. How doesn’t a nikka who got like 7 or 8 multiplat albums. And like 3 gold ones yet maintain his lyrics not considered? This is goofy shyt. Name one rapper other than Jay Z who debuted in 94 and still sell records in 2021? Still getting grammy nods in 2021?. nikkas is clowns on this site ain’t shyt force fed being that the nikka gets shytted on in the media more than anything else. If anything if we being 100 only rappers who deserve the nod at this point is Pac and Jay. Am I right? Because u talk force fed. U don’t have no muthafukkin problem with someone putting Rakim or Kane in a top 5 meanwhile them 2 nikkas ain’t drop nothing noteworthy in damn near 30 years. Explain that.


i mean, im pretty sure im the 1st one to bring the blinder test into hip-hop discussions. no rapper has ever been subjected to such a test. not Nas or anybody. so i dont know why youre playing victim in the bolded. must be a knee-jerk reaction.:laugh:

i rank nas higher than biggie actually, so i dont see the point in you trying to argue with me about biggie.

KRS & Kane arent force-fed picks. and im not saying that EVERYBODY who has nas or jay or big or pac in their top 5, are forced to do it - altho, when i see all 4 of them in someone's top 5, i tend to disregard that person's opinion.

those nas stats you just dropped are wack. lesbianest, if youre not a nas stan, you likely havnt checked for him since 2003. him having his business tight and being able to capitalize off his stanbase doesnt mean that hes really dropping anything of note. dudes like rakim & kane were around when your REALLY had to stay hot and not rely on politcs & bullchit, so of course they dont have padded longevity stats.


If ya top 5 got Kane, Rakim, KRS, or any of them cats u just bodied Ya own fukkin argument. Period. Only someone like LL would deserve the nod of that’s the case.


in terms of what??

serious question. i dont know what youre arguing with this statement.

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:

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


hip-hop is approaching 50. theres no such thing as a universally accepted top 5 rapper.
no offense, but i cant even argue with people about this when they get on that "universally accepted" talk when it comes to anything from music to sports to whatever.

then you go on to post articles & such to prove your point. thats all propaganda. hell this entire thread premise is propaganda/ we got a papoose thread and a jermaine dupri thread at the same dam time, based on them pushing for Nas.
then you post a list that includes eminem & lauryn hill as all-time top 10 rappers.:scust:


nah nas got way more then she one classic album your bugging


Im talking undisputed classics.

:ehh:is he telling the truth???

I thought people just dikkride Jay-Z bc they need roc nation connections, same with Puff. But Jay-Z was a hustler/rapper, Nas wasn't really on that type of time besides IWW.

If all u said was it was wack af (which is was and 70% of lt2) but didn’t explain why or offer suggestions to make the rollout better then you should’ve gotten fired.

U being sarcastic? That’s a fake pic and story as a retort to me posting real images inside of the Roc nation building in Jay Z’s office. Lol
