Shootouts is his best.

fam u just said Undying Love was his best...lol..Nas is a great storyteller..end of story...u may not be interested in all of his stories..but that doesn't take anything away from him..Poppa Was a Playa wasn't a good story?..come on fam..he has damn near TOO many stories to name..lol..just cause it doesnt have comedy doesnt mean anything...

 

[JayBaldacci]

Nas stories are dry and lack humor. No suspense. Just linear narratives.

stories have to be funny now?

undying love had suspense, blaze a 50 had suspense, shootouts had suspense, the set up had suspense, p*ssy kills had suspense, etc.

you should judge every other emcee's stories as hard as you judge nas'. in fact in general you should judge every other emcee as hard as you judge nas.

He tells stories. But are they great? Not to me.

He lacks those little key developments.

"the little girl was happy, she picked her brother up"

"right before they threw him out the nikka said 'word???'"

last verse one love has all that. i could go through a lot of emcees stories and pick up missing details, including raps Alfred Hitchcock Smalls.

for sake, even books and movies leave out details. lol

 

[Big Mel]

That verse isn't all story though. It's classic verse but not entirely a story.

 

[JayBaldacci]

you're getting nas and raekwon mixed up.

how? he gets stressed from all the bullshyt from the hood, religion, etc, ghosts from projects for a few days, comes back, runs into a kid, the kid lays out his story on what happened to him while puffing blunts, nas schools him about morals of the streets and leaves him with a lil somethin, all executed with dope imagery and dialog.

 

[Big Mel]

He goes away from the actual story a few times. And while it's beautifully written is a great story?


I mean, you just summed up a rather dull one.

show me when he goes away from his stories. one love was great story telling.

imo, slick rick stories are dull and lack imagery. people just give him props because he was one of the first to do it.

 

[spliz]

^^^and there u go...this dude feels this way about SLICK RICK of all people...u think he buggin right Mel?..EXACTLY fam...the actual story is only as interesting as the interest of the listener...period...if the artist is good at bringing across the story that their tryna convey...they are a good storyteller...

 

[Big Mel]

I just don't see how smoking a blunt with a youngster on a bench makes for a GREAT story.



I know Nas tells stories.
