thats just the heavy stans who have dedicated songs to him, remade his tracks and claimed him to be their biggest influence
then you got mid level stans like Raekwon who made Nas the only non Wu nikka on his classic debut, Biggie giving him a ten out of ten in ratings, 2pac calling him the ringleader of the east coast... Fat Joe naming his kid after him, like the list goes on... shyt crazy this nikka takes so many L's but gotdamn if his peers dont love him I wonder how hip hop is gonna react when he dies
