If you don't have Nas at #1 on your all time list, get the fuck off this forum

blank..

Give me some valid reasons as to why he isnt the best rapper ever?

Biggie?

BIG had only two albums worth of material. I'm an avid Biggie supporter and have his albums but his material was too limited.

Jay Z?

He got infamously ethered by Nas over a Ron Browz banger and he has put out some of the most dissapointing albums ever imaginable for a rapper of his stature since Black Album.

Lyrically he is a genius, I can pull out a hundred examples off my favorite Nas album "It Was Written".. but I'm sure you familiar with it.

People like to pick on the greats with this Nas Lost bullshit, Kelis this and Carmen that.. we talking strictly rap music here.

IMO, Nas is the GOAT lyricist, but the one thing missing from him is entertainment value. I have to be in a certain mood to listen to Nas. I can be in a sad, celebratory, aggressive or whatever mood and randomly throw on some Biggie, Pac, Jay, or Pun. Nas just doesn't have that "every mood" type of music for me. Dope as hell and one of my favorite, but I'd take Biggie, Pun, and Jay over Nas.

Nas is my favorite Hip-Hop artist of all time

Theres a few rappers that could be put over Nas.


Cube, Scarface, Ghost, Pac, Common all could claim to being GOATS.

You wanna compare catalogues?

You have to be honest with yourself and agree that Jay Z has dropped off significantly since 03-04 and Nas has stayed steady.

In their primes Nas was the better lyricist.

I've got Nas at #1 most of the time.

Theres a lot of other rappers who you could argue belong there.

Everybody isnt built to listen to Nas. Depends on what you listen to Hip Hop for.

I listen to everything I dont limit myself to one album or one artist's music..

And I'm not these people to frown upon the modern rap scene I just weed out the bad shit and listen to the decent material.

In other words, anybody and everybody with ears can tell Nas is a great, the greatest rapper to do it.
