I know you guys are Nas stans lol but do you genuinely believe he had the best year that year? Just curious.


Listen To Ether..

Then listen to Jay-Z crying about it after he LOST

Nas took all of Jay-Z's swag and sent that nikka off to Europe for reflection.

Ain't no WAY you can be the "MVP" of that year after getting sonned so soundly.

On top of that Nas dropped a fantastic album.

Let's also not forget that he sonned the entire Roc-A-Fella click with the stillmatic freestyle, went to war with Lyrical titans like Mega and Prodigy, and STILL came out on top. If that's not an MVP banner year then I don't know what is..

Nas in 01-02 was on FIRE before he calmed down again.

Nas > Jay-z but we comparing these nikkaz in 2001 and not in 2002


-Blueprint > stllmatic
-changed the culture of Hip Hop
-west and just blaze became juggaknots because of that album
-so many nikka ripped off this flows


Stillmatic was a great comeback album but that doesn't make it blueprint status.

I always thought Blueprint was overrated. :yeshrug:


Favorite albums that year were

Stillmatic
The Cold Vein (cannibal ox)
The Realness
Bulletproof Wallets
And that Sticky Fingaz album.

So basically what happened in December took away everything that happened 11 months prior?

But I guess the result wasn't determined that year

It depends what you value I guess

I think Jay had the better album though

When your damn near in tears on the radio calling a diss that took your soul "vulgar" and stating how "uneasy" you are then yes.

I like ether more but both diss records are debatable.

Nas went on the recorded and said he cried when he heard Against All Odds so all of his accolades that year are taken away because of that?

We talking about he had a better year and not a better December.
