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

[JahFocus CS]

LOL no a case cannot be made for this.

He's wrong. Nas was DEF in the mainstream conscious before 01. In 99 he sold like double plat off I Am even tho the album got bootlegged to the point he had to change the album. Nastradamus was a throwaway project and even with that he still went 1.5 and that was released the same year as I Am. That's 2 multiplat albums in one year. He was all over features like Missy's Hot Boy remix and Mariah Carey's Thank God I Found You. Etc. in 2000 he had the QB's Finest album with The Bridge 2001 and Oochie Wally. As far as other features as well.

Nas was getting kissed by Holly Berry back then at Barbara Streisand cincerts, lol.

first four

Flesh was spotty and was basically a cash grab and you can tell. His first is his only arguable classic. And 3 doesnt equal 4.

I am is solid to me .

But I think it's general conesus nastradamus sucks.

5 years later it has aged greater than many

LIG>MCHG

Yes... it was better than mchg... not great though.

 

[Columbo]

Yes

Nas had one classic album and fell off

DMX had three classic albums in a row, one good albums after that and fell off

facts is facts

edit:correction, correction

So you think Nas only has one classic amd then he fell off?

Here, hold this neg

Get the Nas discography at amazon.com

DMX exist for the same reason lil zane & arguably ja rule did....PAC died! DMX exploited that lane once puffy overdid the shinny suits.

Yeah cool breh shiny suits. X was only relevant because Pac died

DMX couldn't get on for 8/10yrs in the 90s!!! 24hrs to live with Black Rob was his first commercial exposure.

That is true, you have a point

However, I already negged you

Sorry about what I said when I negged you, you didnt deserve to be spoken to like that

this needs to stop.

a lot of X fans didn't even like 2pac.

Nas is still relevant

no hes not

flesh of my flesh was on par with it's dark, and then there was x was when the decline started but still a very good album which was equal to the great depression

and a cash grab with this?





nope you are blinded by the time between this album and his first

Here, hold this neg

fell off and didn't recover until The Lost Tapes/HHID/Untitled
Escobar's disco is shaky

 

[IllmaticDelta]

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

 

[J-Fire]

Same applies to Jay-Z and he's my fav....but biggie dying propelled him.

98 I had to be put onto jay Z in 7th grade....I was about ma$e, Nas, Busta Rhymes & big pun.

 

[Nomad1]

Mostly true

Who then other than Pac and Big?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

nas owes his legacy to illmatic.

myth.....a ton of people in the industry and even outside think IWW is better than Illmatic. I just interview the other day with Kool G rap saying the same thing

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

IWW > any X album
