Rakim or Nas, who's the better MC?

[I love Latina women]

 

[Pimpdaddy]

foh

 

[TheDarkCloud]

Nas.

 

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

Nas

 

[Cynic]

is this 1992 ?

 

[Newportbox]

Nas....... but he built off the quantum leap that was Rakim.
Rah was futuristic with it. No one was rhyming like him. He singlehandedly pushed the art form ahead by leaps & bounds. There is a clear distinction between emcees before & after Rakim.

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

NaS but rakim is a true gawd in this rap shyt.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Nas, but there's no Nas without the real God MC Rakim.

 

[AlfredTheButler]

Nas, but there's no Nas without the real God MC Rakim.

This is the right answer and in those circumstances i'll always side with the originator even though nas took what rakim did a step or 2 further

 

[Ziggiy]

Nas

And that’s no disrespect to Rakim

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Nas

Rakim invented it and Nas advanced it

 

[George's Dilemma]

Nas

Rakim invented it and Nas advanced it

It's crazy when you think about it, like how did Ra see it so clearly? In a climate of ABC's and 123's, somehow he introduced Pi. That vision and confidence to not only stand out but to take it to another plateau.

 

[Stez]

They’re my number 1 and 2. Don’t make me choose

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Both

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

The R is a Hip Hop God, Paid in Full & Follow the Leader are still amazingly perfect albums that haven't aged a bit.
Ra's never dropped a wack verse in his life.



Nas at his best has surpassed him
