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

[Threnody]

The Lost Tapes is like Nas third to fourth best album and it's better than Mega's best album.

While Mega was considered the best rhymer in QB before doing his bid he was a few years older and Nas eventually surpassed him as an MC and artistically.

Nas didn't steal Mega's style, Live at the BBQ sounds nothing like Cormega.

Albums are subjective...to me The Realness >>>>>> Any Nas album other than Illmatic/IWW (Which Cormega had something to do with either creatively or influence wise)

Nas stagnated as an artist years ago and has to rely on gimmicks and controversy to sell records while Cormega has grown and remained fresh

Comega in 1991...Sounds like a more advanced version of Nas at the time



Overall I'd go with Cormega because he writes his own shyt....Nas at his greatest had a lot of help....nikkas don't wanna hear that tho

The raw talent is undeniable

[The Ruler 09]

Some of y'all going a bit too far with the Mega hate.

Realness and True Meaning are amazing albums (the other three are all dope as well).

Exactly, The Realness is exceptional and in truth better than a lot of Nas albums.

 

[The Dust King]

this is what it boils down to;

@Big Mel is one of the biggest stans on here

for eveytime he typed the word "cormega" he has typed nas name 7 more times (his posting history)

Stans are not just cheerleaders, they are also the ones in the stand who boo' at every game

cormega said that nas stole "lifes a bytch godforbid the bytch divorce me, i be flooded wit ice so hellfire couldnt scorch me.."

i didnt believe it but it sounds like it could be a mega line. either way i dont fukkin care because cormega was on the same song with him. also according to mega its nas fault illwill died.

i am well versed in both artists and every tiny nuance and diss and taking sides is a fools choice; i break it down like this; mega is more street than nas but nas is more artistic then mega.

that awkward moment when you are a 32 year-old white male yoga teacher who sings in a hardcore band and a noted poster on the coli is more than you

@MC Metaphysical


I am is your favorite Nas album right?


Seeing what you look and sound like has provided countless jokes. Imma need you to sit down, bodega.


Did you win that tragic borough battle?

 

[the cac mamba]

Nas at his best will always be better than Mega(I'm more of Mega fan), but in my opinion outside of Illmatic Mega has put out better albums, and has gotten better with age, unlike Nas.


Just my opinion

good breakdown

Meh, I like Mega but I'd probably take 3-4 Nas albums over Mega's best. You're hugely overstating Cormega's influence on Nas, Nas has by far been more influential in Cormega's career than vice versa.

How did Mega influence Illmatic and It Was Written?

Nas put out a critically acclaimed album 18 years after his debut about 2 years ago so you can't say he hasn't aged well. Longevity is a strength of Nas's legacy.

Mega sounds like a Queensbridge MC stylistically in that song, his flow was iffy on there too. Early Nas sounds a lot more like Trag.

That's BS breh, receipts or I don't want to hear it. Nas writes his own shyt the greatest songs of his catalog were written by him and he has written for others, I don't care about Jay Elec and Stic Man rumors that have already been dispelled.

Fantastic post. Therapy means more to me than anything post Illmatic Schnoz has recorded.


Lines like these put my mind at ease....

Shakin off the rust. You saw that video, too. Where you land on his video is a greater tell than where you land on the topic at hand.
