There is no greater tell than where you land on Mega vs. Nas

[L. Deezy]

Mega > NoZ

 

[ManBearPig]

Why compare these two like if they were ever on the same echelon?

exactly mega is respected but he has never come up on any real life top 5 list.

he is a great rapper as are many other from their borough

Massive mega fan but thread starter is full of shyt. Nasir is the G.O.A.T.

It's telling that the only elite emcee Mega EVER gets compared to is Nas. If they didn't know each other. This WOULDNT be a discussion.

Mega isn't even the same stratosphere as Nas. The reason we know this is because mega only gets compared to Nas because of their history while Nas gets mentioned as a GOAT and compared to all time greats. He even knows that

Sitting in an office in Union Square, Mega reflects on how beef plagued his generation of Queensbridge rappers. “Too much aspiration and ambition and inner bickering, the crab mentality,” he says from behind his tortoise shell sunglasses. “The most popular rapper in Queensbridge is Nas—straight up and down—and if you can’t accept that, you’re not being real with yourself. After Nas, it’s Mobb Deep. Accept it. There was so much inner bickering and bullshyt. I’m not saying I’m not guilty of it, but mine was different. Me and Nas were from the same block. I knew his mom. Our differences were business, not bullshyt.”

• DX: For sure. I think it’s kind of cliché to bring up Nas in a Cormega interview. And I hate watching or reading those interviews because you’re Cormega, not Nas. But since we’re talking about Queensbridge influencers, did Nas, aside from the shoutouts on “One Love” and “Represent,” impact your career heavily?
  
  Cormega: Yes, he did. He definitely did. His influence wanted to make people sign me and associate with me. His influence was important, because once I was a part of that Firm situation, it was a big buzz, so I guess that made the stock go up. So he definitely was important. I can’t front on anybody. The It Was Written album was the biggest album I’ve ever been on. It was a multi-platinum album. I can’t front. I’m thankful for that.

DX: We spoke about Queensbridge earlier and as someone in the scene for over two decades to you, which was the biggest album in QB when it was released: Illmatic, The Infamous, The War Report, or something different?

Cormega: It’s kind of difficult to compare anything to Illmatic. Illmatic changed Rap. The Infamous was an incredible, glorious album too, man. I mean all three of those albums were pretty good but Illmatic is just a whole another level. Illmatic did for Hip Hop, what Paid In Full did in the ‘80s with Eric B and Rakim, Illmatic did in the ‘90s.

Cormega - It's selling like a new Cormega album from what I hear. People are calling me from a lot of states and stuff. See what I be doing is uh.. I got people that's on the streets so it's like this rather than them sellin' drugs and stuff, sometimes I give people my songs and tell them, "Go Eat."

ThaFormula.com - That's dope man, that's definitely love right there. Even though the Nas situation helped get you a lot of publicity, do you think it also hurt you as far as people focusing more on the beef then your music?

Cormega - I don't know. It helped my sales a lot. My sales went up damn near 80 percent. In a way that takes away from what I'm trying to do because like I said, I don't want to be Joe Frazier to Nas's Ali. I don't wanna be acknowledged as just the dude that had a rivalry with Nas, because I seriously think that I'm one of the better lyricists in the rap game, period! But at the same time it happened, so whatever.
