When it comes to GOAT arguments, Nas ain't even in the conversation

[NvrCMyNut]

On the rare occasion he's brought up people seem to have respect for the gawd but when it comes to GOAT status it's like '' naaa,'' with the conversation moving swiftly on.

Nas just don't engage the people like that i've heard em mentioned as a GOAt contender more irl tbh

Why don't the streets recognize the GOAT?

I'm a Nas stan and I will be the first to let the following people who post in this thread that this thread is NOT a Nas bashing thread

I see what you mean. He's hella respected, even placed in the top 5 in the general public's eye but when it comes to the greatest, it always ends up being Big, Pac, then Jay-Z.

He's number 1 to me, but I guess it's because he didn't sell as much

or

people won't TRULY appreciate him until he's retired or dead

 

[cleanface coney]

because he a good rapper not a good entertainer

 

[smoking man]

because hes a crackpot

1 star, out
daily routine

 

[The Piff Gawd]

cause he's an underachieving fakkot and deadbeat dad just like his father, the failed musician Olu Dara

Dumbest shyt I read on the Coli so far this week, and that's saying alot considering yesterday was April Fool's day. You officially exposed yourself as a troll @NvrCMyNut with this asinine shyt breh

Honestly who cares. With the direction hip hop is going you shouldn't either. When I was younger I used to care and defend him, but at this point hip hop is on it's last legs and is changing for the worse. Seriously, within a couple years, all the rappers that get praise wil be forgotten. You saw the Scarface thread about the changing of the thrones. It's gonna happen. When fans and artist in the genre can't respect a legend it just makes me wonder why I should give a fukk.

Truth be told, people don't respect or really care for hip hop. It sucks but that just what it is. I love hip hop and want to see it grow, but I'm a realist. All this talk about the GOATS and who's who is like seeing people want to be king of something that people will quickly forget. As far as media goes, the KING of hip hop by unanimous decision is Eminem. Do I agree, No. But that's just the way it is.

who is in the conversation?

After Life is Good though, I think the conversation becomes more stronger for him. One things for sure he's elevated to top 3 Lyricist and thats something that people will argue when talking about overall GOAT. Plus he's been top 5-10 anyway.

Hes my fav rapper but I understand why precieved limitations keep him out of the overall convo, but I think as time goes on and the fact he's still rapping at a top level, it will always assure to be in the convo and have people say why not.

cosign 100%

pac is the only one who should be mentioned with jay when discussin the GOATs... it disgusts me to see nikkas try to fit Nas name in that category ... only on the coli though. Not even in queens do nikkas call Nas the GOAT anything

 

[Never Broke Again]

Its true as far as the realistic conversation thing. Hes one of the guys whos there and respected near the top, but don't really have anyone riding for him as the guy at the top

Of course nas stans gonna get it all twisted and come preachin some billshyt but theres nothing really false about it
