yo nas definatly dont get as much credit as he deserves. The only reason pac n big are considered the two best rappers of all time is because they died. i mean pac was only in the game 5 years 91 to 96 n i dont even know about big. Serioulsy did nas ever brag that he spoke the truth n that he was the realist. na, n pac goes around sayin how he is the realist, n that he only speaks the truth, n then predicting that he was gona die. Well of course he was gona die, people dont realize how much beef he started. From bad boy, to nas, to mobb deep. Like he wasnt gona get shot. nothin against them two im just coming from my stand point.

Another thing the pisses me off is how many people actualy think jay is good. Besides Nas murdering him on ether, blueprint is a whack album besides the beats and hooks. If u really listen to it, its like wut the hell is he rappin about, he also says how he used to be "knee deep in coke". Really come on jay dont start rappin about how rough "marcy" is now. If u start out pop stay that way n in takeover how can jay even say "its only so long fake thugs can pretend" i say again as in another message i posted u just dont make up all the shit nas has written. jays a joke n im just pissed that people actually think hes sumthing

-write back im out
Cris

i agree---
but he's startin 2 fall off--
nas is my favorite rapper of all time

my point of view


Illmatic---classic
It was written---average
I am----one of the best albums ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nastradamus---- average
Stillmatic----average
God's Son--depressing---only could listen 2 it once



his next album better be hot

Depressing? Gods son is quality!

The title of this thread couldn't be more incorrect.

Nas is overrated.

He's the laziest rapper alive. He does no mixtapes. No concerts let alone charity concerts. Very few television appearances. He only does radio interviews when he's dissing people. When was the last time he dropped 2 albums within a year of eachother? He's just way too inconsistent a rapper to be considerd better than those two. Because lyrically they were great and they both hustled and worked hard to earn that level of respect. Nas really doesn't show any signs of that. Its like he makes an album, collects the money off of it and then spends it for a year then once he's broke he drops an album. It's kinda irritating from a fans perspective because I'd kinda like to see him do more.

Anyway, don't ever say Nas is better than Pac or Big

No-Bodys better than Big...

^^Ugly

Nas is inconsistent as Enemy said.. but you cant doubt that he is ill... when he needs to be..

and Jay killed Nas imo..

definitely not. nas Always sounds like he is freestyling, nothing he does ever sounds well rehearsed

um... i think i will say nas is better than pac or big

maybe the reason why nas doesnt do tv appearances is because he isnt in it for the fame. He drops his cd and goes back to his buisness. and you think the reason nas comes out with cds is for money? cuz hes broke??? are u kidding??? well obviously his first few cds that was the reason but thats the same for any rapper trying to make a living. if he wanted all this money now he would be doin interviews. the reason he is the best is because he has never promoted himself like ever other rapper. Have you ever listened to illmatic or itwaswritten, what you think nas hasnt done any hustling. and he only goes on the radio whens hes dissin someone, its not like he went out on the radio and initiated the beef with jay z. jay z brought it upon himself. Ur retarded. "they plan was to knock me out the top of the game but i overstand they truth is all lame" blue print came out and nas responded so quick and with a cd that killed jays career which is unheard off. and oh yea hes real lazy... nas is the best simply because he was modest and never went out to be the best. "i never asked to be top of raps elite just a ghetto child tryin to learn the traps of the street" Anyone who listens to more than what they play on the radio knows that nas murdered jay z on stillmatic. however nas never went out making sure everyone knew that. he kept to himself and stayed modest and thats why i stand by wut i say buddy

I agree, Nas fucken ripped Jay-z on ether, on the takeover Jay-z doesnt really even diss em that hard, jay disses Nas with his opinions, Nas disses Jay-z with facts and some killer personals, and Nas better then Pac?well i would say they almost equal, nas better then BIG? i would say yes, really think bout it, BIG was NOT a lyricist, i mean why do people think he was so great, i like em and all but he is majorly overrated, even his only one of his deep hits, juicy, that song was a good subject but, it lacked lyrical ability, it was simple, yeh BIG was a good rapper, but "hypnotize" and mo money mo problems r pretty much similar to the songs that a fake ass pop rapper makes, "nelly", i mean face it, BIG had talent but did not use it, his biggest hits sounded like pop music and he was not a lyricist, his greatest drop was on Notorious Thugz, and thats bout his illest ever, but thats all.....

^^^LMAO

ok wow.......im not a big fan or biggie or pac

but when it comes down to it......pac was the better poet.....far better....and he had the charisma........but biggie would murder pac lyrically....pac's rhymes were simple....the words he used were simple his style was simple..........what he said was amazing.....but it was simple

and yes i think nas is far better then both of them

Nas killed Jay-Z, i actually like Jigga, but Nas is better......and wat does not bein on a lot of mixtapes and not appearing on shows have to do wit his talent??.......nuttin....he just tries to get his points across, but people like jigga tryin to be on everything........aint nuttin wrong wit that, but that just aint Nas......ya'll actin like he used to be on a lot of mixtapes and stuff, nah, he always been like this, he's bein Nas

one of the illest MC's alive........

u know, niggaz like jigga and they like his beats(which are overrated), but when a poll comes out or somethin, they know who better.......fans know Nas won the battle........fans know he's better.....on VH1 i think it was, or MTV2, they had the top 22 MC's voted by fans and Jigga was #5 while Nas was #4........they both ill, but Nas is better.........in my opinion

MattJones is a complete moron

never talk again, wut i am do u own, nas is still the man but i am blows ass
ur an idiot

nas is better than pac and big but he never goes commercial and he doesnt sell out... some ppl says he did on nastradamus or whatever so whatever he does ppl complain. just let him be the way he is, a great MC that makes great albums that have great beats and deep lyrics...you can se like jayz's black album on commercials on tv and in magazines but nas doesnt do that to keep it real but it would be nice to se him in some more interviews and on some award show or whatever... you never get to se him except if its in a video
