Can a case be made that DMX is better than Nas?

[85 East]

Sure. He can act better then Nas...

 

[spliz]

Wasnt aint no nikka promoted by Nutty Professor?

And? Lol. U providing numbers with zero context. I can do the same thing.

 

[infamousred]

God no

 

[Alpha Male]

That might be your opinion but that's not consensus.

So I take it instead of forming your own opinion you just follow the consensus then?

 

[Columbo]

Op's treading thin ice...the only reason why he hasnt been negged yet is because I got DMX in my top 3 favorite, Nas too

The disrespect that the op showed Nas

Op needs to study the goats discography

 

[Wacky D]

nas owes his legacy to illmatic.

he gets a lot of passes for his shortcomings. for example, all the contradictory arguments that nas fans are making against DMX.

but then again, nas is the king of contradiction, so its only right.

And didn't nas have that same window particularly after illmatic where he could have ended this discussion but fell flat on his face?

Nas has Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes and Gods Son.
DMX has IDAHIH.

i'll take "flesh of my flesh" over all of those besides illmatic.

I'm glad I don't visit this section of the coli anymore.

What the fukk kind of thread is this?

What context is not being considered for the shyt i brought up?

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

OP saw all those cats putting DMX in their top fives in that one thread and thought he could get some easy reps
I'm fukking sure "Let Me Fly" is gonna put him over the guy who wrote Illmatic at 19-21

Hah, yeah maybe he did see it.

But for some reason or another kids under 25 do seem to hold dmx in a high regard. That's a very real phenomenon.

Saying he's better than nas is just extra though

So I take it instead of forming your own opinion you just follow the consensus then?

In my opinion Hell On Earth is the fifth best album ever, but I'm also knowledgeable enough to realize that's not a consensus opinion. See the difference?

 

[jackson35]

the difference btw these two artist is one is highly commercial with his music, the other is not

 

[Fctftl]

Nas had a crazy run of guest features leadin up to Life Is Good in 2011/2012

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

I listen to mobb more than nas. I like it was written though.

good album but I like Infamous and HOE over any Nas album

 

[blazn101]

To answer the question..

DMX is nice and a personal favorite. But when you look at the entire body of work from both..

 

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

By far the dumbest question I've ever heard asked on here.
