Nas has a notoriously trash ear for beats. Come on now...

Cube's discography leaves him in the dumpster.

Big? :dead: Dude released 2 albums.

As for Jay, it is pretty close, but Cube's peak work is better. I wouldn't be mad if you said HOV has a better discography.

And what d'you mean he ain't on their level rap wise? How do you define that? Because he isn't as technical? Lyrically he certainly is.
Nas has rapped on more dope beats than Cube surely, and more classic beats too. Easily. So what is this B.S. about Nas' notoriously bad ear for beats?

Nas has several albums with better beats than any Cube album.

I don't see how Cube's skillset is superior to Nas in any aspect of rapping. Shyt is comical to me. Nas STILL raps at a high level.

Only redeeming quality about Ice Koon aka Lice Cube aka O'Shea Butterball aka Don Megaflop aka O’Gay Wackson aka O’Shim Jackson aka O’Sick Flabbyson is he had the common sense to not hop onna track with the GOAT Hov so he could be exposed as the shytty ass excuse for an MC and demolished

Cube is Top 15/10 material.

My top 5 is too crowded as it is. I've got like seven rappers I cycle into my top 5 depending on the day. :russ:

What happened to Ghostface? You moving on to Cube now?

:stopitslime: There's no 'moving on' I've been a Cube fan.

Ghost is no.2

Totally gonna disregard the bold because that is false.

Cube has a better voice/delivery. You wanna give Nas the slightest edge in lyricism that's cool. Cube has a better body of work, making him the better MC overall. Nas is rapping at a higher level now, I don't question that.

2 great albums and 1 good everything else mediocre and his fall off in the mid 90s is legendary also is the fact he was known to be a fraud talmbout things he never did in the streets and stealing alot of material and styles from other artists...hence why he got beat up and his chain took...

How is it false? Cube has never rapped over a beat like Nas is Like or The World is Yours. Cube doesn't have nikkas freestyling over his beats decades later like Nas does. People are flipping Nas beats and making hits out of them today. Cube doesn't have an album with production as good as Illmatic, an album that had the who's-who of East Coast producers at their peaks. I don't even think Cube has an album with better production than It Was Written or Lost Tapes especially running these shyts back in 2016.

Voice is subjective I disagree and lyrically Nas is atleast a tier above Cube. Cube's strength was content and storytelling he was not seeing no Nas and a bunch of others lyrically. His schemes and vocab was basic AF.

How does Cube have the better body of work? Cube has two classics, three aight albums, and everything else is forgettable to :trash:.

Nas has at least two classics, arguably three and has way more critically acclaimed albums.
