      Impulsive Wandering i think you're not really understanding what he says. No disrespect or anything. But he's arguing against someone's who's idea of someone being one of the greatest being based on album sales and not overall impact. He's trying to explain that its more than that when you're looking at it from a purist point of view. Bizs importance to the culture is unquestionable to those who are intrenched in the actual culture, not to those who are only interested in recent hits. Vlad disagrees.

      Impulsive Wandering I think you're missing the point of the performing.. Just because some Lil Shit plays a show where a bunch of teenagers lose it and get crazy doesn't mean it was a great performance.. Just because you get a gang of retards excited doesn't mean it was a great performance, just because people scream and get excited doesn't mean you're a great performer. Yeah, people lose their shit at Lil Yachty shows.. Does that automatically mean he's a great performer? No.

    Jay-Z is better at fitting the mood/beat than Nas. Nas will be on a clubby ass song spitting some biblical philosophy rap, the next song be on a super grimy east coast beat rapping about throwing money and clubbing.
    Jay was always better at knowing when to go hard and when to stay out of the way and let the song breathe. He's a much better artist than Nas.
    By the way, Nas is my favorite lyricist (any music genre) ever, but he lacks in his ability to conform to a song's aesthetic.

Meanwhile, there's hit or miss beats on every album of every rapper except the few classic albums that are able to keep that consistency. Nas's beats on his albums aren't really worse than (insert your favorite rapper that has more than 3 or 4 albums). Nobody had classics their whole career.

    The way he explains Rakim live is my exact experience. I saw him about five years back. He is not hype at all compared to acts like KRS-One. But when he came out all calm it was shocking how absolutely hype the crowd got. One of the best shows I've seen. He rocked for over a hour and a half without slowing down at all. The entire crowd was singing along to every word.

      @sinematic06 7 років тому

      JustLance 213 word! Vlad stays bringing in other factors. Jay is more famous, has Beyoncé, a prominent businessman, (even though Nas is too) but take away all their accomplishments, fame, status, beats etc and just compare voice, lyrics, flow, & delivery between em? Nas easily. And STILL Nas even with all that extra stuff added back in.

    • @sinematic06
      @sinematic06 7 років тому +1

      Keanu Belle if you simply like Jay more than Nas because you identify with him as an artist more that's fine. You might like his beats more n all, there's nothing wrong with that. The problem with dudes that have arguments like Vlad, is they try to bring all these foreign topics into the discussion of who's better on the mic such as relevance & fame. That's not a good measuring stick right there. It becomes laughable, but if somebody likes Jay more with music related criteria then who can argue with that? More power to em but don't try to play Nas just because he's not as famous as Jay that's silly. And Nas has been putting in work these past few years in partnering and owning different companies so that's a mute point as well truthfully. They're both big in the business world, both legends, but if we even have to compare em, can we stick to just the music and leave all that otha out of it?
