I like all Nas album people complain even the bad albums there's some songs I like these songs that I dislike but that's his opinion Nas drop 5 album with hit boy I like the those albums what my favorite album it was written that's my number one I was a child when that album came out riding my bike listen to the album it changed my world still do Take It in Blood that's my favorite song
I'm so confused. Is the title supposed to be "Was Nas the Best Ever Rapper in Hip Hop? It's all subjective, of course Nas was the best in large number of people's opinions.
This guy hit the nail on the head for the most part. I'm 41 from LA area. We followed east coast rap closely. I think Pac came out w "my girlfriend" way after he recorded it. Hard to say it was influenced by Nas.
Na very easy to say. Others have co-signed already. NaS influenced Pac to make that song . And NaS was also inspired to make the song from a Organize Konfusion song 👁️ Maat Hotep
It was only a matter of time tbh. Especially when the dumb argument about “Jay’s never been the hottest one out”, best believe they’ll be coming for Nas, Ghost, DOOM, etc
1. Illmatic came out Nas was King. 2. RTD dropped Biggie was King. 3. It Was Written dropped Nas took the 👑 back. (One life one love so there can only be 1 King) 4. LAD dropped Biggie died the King 5. The discussion was always Biggie or Nas. Jay admitted to putting his name in the discussion when he didn't belong yet. That was in 97 Vol 1. 6. To Answer the question Nas was the best in '92 '96, and '02 after Stillmatic (Ether) dropped. 7. Biggie won best lyricist over Nas at the Source Awards in '95. Biggie said on camera he thought Nas was gonna win. 8. The Outlaws said Tupac was listening to It Was Written everyday studying it.
Arguably never because there was always a Canibus or Big Pun or Cassidy but just cause you are super lyrical does not mean you're automatically at the top
@@DRWRITER08 just cause someone don't have a classic project does not mean they not better lyrically and just in cause you're not understanding what I said I never said Cassidy was better than Nas
People say anything on the net. Some people should just not speak about Hip-Hop Culture or Rap. Nas has been considered the best MC in rap since 94-96; 2001/2002; 2021-2023. Now there have been lag periods of course. But he’s always been conserved a GOAT. And the best in separate intervals. There is a difference between being the biggest rapper from a selling standpoint and the best rapper. Tupac, DMX and 50 cent had years where they were the biggest rapper. Superstar movie star etc. But no Hip-Hop head ever looked at them guys like we looked at Rakim, BDK, Rick, Grap, KRS, LL, Cube, Face, Nas, Hov, Biggie, Rae, GZA, Ghost, Prodigy or even Snoop from a pure rapper perspective.
Ray is right about the majority of us in the south,Nas was always respected as one of the Best, but never a major favorite, his music is dope but not for everyday play, definitely not for a party setting, which is where get together (very important)
@KofisUniverse It's just Wild When they don't even have to think about it it's just already a Fact... Why bother thinking about it.. Nas the 🐐 and if We just Focused on a time period He was thee Absolute Best Emcee During the 90s up to and Including the Performance on Stillmatic... The Clue Shit.. Bro I don't mean to belittle the Conversation by any means and I can't knock the Content Hustle but I'm 51 so I've been there for alot of Emcee's Beginnings and Runs and This Guy Run is Unquestionable Especially if we talkin 'Best' at Whatever Excluding Sales and that's Record Company Shit not Rapper Shit...
It's too competitive. No disrespect to Nas or Biggie (Jay-Z is cheeks. He's not even in the picture, we can name 15 guys better than him easy) but Pac's unreleased discography alone, bodies any other 90s rapper, not even mentioning his released songs. If out of all the 2Pac songs you gon' mention me and my girlfriend as a representation of Pac, then sorry you don't know Pac. Nas is top 5, but you would be reaching by saying he definitively beats AZ. In fact, I give that one to AZ - he has too many replay value songs to even count. Nas has fewer.
@@Mic-100I used to have Nas', AZ's Pac and Jadakiss' entire discography on my phone back in the classic torrent downloads days. I'll put it this way, Pac > AZ > Nas > Jadakiss in terms of how many songs were deleted lol. Don't get me wrong, Nas had way more songs than Jada, but not more than AZ and no where near Pac (who's unreleased stuff was some of the best I've ever heard, not to mention the released albums which I was already a huge fan of). Not every Nas track is like Nas is Like. Some of them are mediocre at best. Whereas someone like AZ - just too many bangers. Not to mention, AZ had way better Rap City freestyle appearances than Nas too.
Nobody was better than him in 94
Or in 96. Sure pac was more popular but better, fuckkkkk no
94 forsure. Personally he’s my GOAT
💯
Tf he talking about NaS was that dude and I'm from the south to in NC we played his shit heavy 💯

“Anyone” debating this is a casual. Period

I don't know why people like the s*** on Nas I guess the truth for the song on I am you can hate me now
I always say Nas is compared to Kobe. One of the greatest but get disrespected. Jay-Z is compared to LeBron. Overrated but get the praises.
I can kind of see why because a lot of people don't really understand Illmatic, and his other albums are pretty much all severely underrated.
ILLMATIC
CHANGE NY HIP HOP
biggie AND jayz STOLE HIS STYLE. money hoes AND clothes STYLE
💯
Best in 94 and 96. not biggest, BEST
Nice can you make a video on Kendrick Lamar Mr. morale pictures that never has been seen before it’s actually really dope
Okay I will.

Love this perspective.
He was the goat of 1994 and 2001.
🐐
96 Nas is argubly the greatest MC to ever touch Mic, no one was better, However in 96 Pac was that dude due to AEOM and his passing.
Agreed!
Yes.
🫡
Yes he was. When his first album dropped

These kids are so disrespectful when it comes to respect.

That Debate was Just For Content because this ain't Even a Real Question.. 🤦🏽♂️
Some people think Nas was never the #1 rapper at any time in hip-hop history.
