Why hasn't Nas gotten the credit that Kanye gets for pushing the envelope?

Nobody checking for those Salaam beats
i dont care what anyone is checkin for...formulate your own opinions...wtf do i care or wtf does anyone care what everyone else is checkin for...this is why wack rappers blow up, 90% of u are straight dikk riders
id rather hear dope lyrics on an ok beat...then some BS faq shyt on a prob ghost produced repetitive (nikkas in paris) beat
sounds like a gay medievil feast

Well so be it.... Though responding to my post makes this statement null and slightly void :whatever:
Do I need to pull out MBTDF ?

what does that album have to do with the links i posted? i'm not comparing salaam and yeezy. I prefer yeezy's beats, but that has nothing to do with me correcting you about ppl not wanting to hear salaam's beats. He made a lot of heat.

two songs from the latest Nas album. I did that on purpose to show that Salaam has dropped recent heat..
common sense...use it
The question isn't if Nas has dropped heat.
The question is if Nas has come as close to "pushing the genre" as Nas.
Nas is more revered for his potential, Illmatic, and beef with Jay-Z than what Kanye has actually done since 2004.

What? Kanye is credited for his creative production; most critics don't call him a master lyricist/songwriter.Sure, there are plenty of artists that push the envelope who get looked over, but many of them aren't really trying to do that. But Nas has consistently tried to push the envelope during his career, and he's never received half the attention and coverage that Kanye receives for his antics.
The name of his albums and the content in his albums are just as controversial: Hip hop is Dead, Untitled, It was written, Life is Good. All those albums had a lot of controversial topics and themes and perspectives.
Is it that the GOAT really can't sell himself as much as Kanye?
Is it that Nas' lyrics aren't as accessible as Kanye? I may go with this one. It's not as easy to withdraw meaning from Nas' lyrics; the lyrics aren't as perceptible to the average listener.
Or is it just that the height of his reign is over, and that Kanye is more relevant for today?
Don't get me wrong, Nas has had more success than 95 percent of other hip hop artists. I just wonder why he can't sell as much as some of his peers, if it's his work ethic or personality or possible lack of business acumen that holds that back.
What say you, brehs?
Gnarz, on the other hand, is credited for diverse and creative songwriting. He is not a producer.
