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

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

No one is better than Nas tbh

 

[Benefited]

Put it this way,in real time Nas couldn't compete with DMX in his prime. Thats something you have to acknowledge.

 

[Wacky D]

Albums released nas >>> dmx
Singles released dmx >>> nas
Less trash songs dmx >>> nas
Higher peak nas >>> dmx
Versatility dmx >>> nas

DMX peak >>> Nas peak

Every DMX album besides It's Dark & Hell is Hot was forgettable outside of the signles.

Lmao, nonsense

If u don't care for illmatic..u don't care for hip hop
Your fakkit ass shouldn't be discussing anything hip hop related

Illmatic is overrated. Nas has multiple albums better than that

X never really had any substance to me.Not consistently, at least.

Always seemed like the missing member of Onyx, with a horrorcore twist.

He's pure adrenaline rush/workout music to me.

I don't see the Pac comparisons, neither.Maybe physical/energy wise

but musically, Pac was a lot more poetic/soulful.I'd even say spiritual.

X couldn't hit you with a White Man's World.X's generic prayer skits always made him come off superficial to me.

I know some folks was digging it, but it's was never that original IMO

You didn't delve into his work enough if you believe this.

I don't want no parts of that post anymore.Just let it fade into oblivion

Lol it’s all good bro. My bad

 

[BulletProof]

I love X but hell the fukk no.

You could make a stronger case against Hov and even X would lose that one by a significant margin.

R.I.P.

 

[BulletProof]

Easily, DMX has with out question 1 classic album ( it's dark and hell is hot) and arguably 3.

Nas only has one.

Line up there sales # too, X wins.

Pull up there shows, X wins.

Put on a bunch of people, X wins.

Battle rapping, X wins.

Only thing X was never really tested on was a rap beef like Nas and Jay had

You're an idiot.

 

[Threnody]

DMX (other than 2pac) is the most well rounded rap artist of all time

Nas is a lyrical specialist borderline wack outside of his lane

Plus Nas don't even bark on his records

Nas tried to imitate X once and it was horrible



DMX outshined Nas on every song they did



DMX even was killing Nas on the lyrical tip



Nas is the Hell Rell of queenbridge why we even comparing him to dark man x

Tragedy vs DMX would be a better match up

 

[MikeStamina]

Don't feed the trolls

 

[ThirdAct]

Love them both but X just doesn't have Nas catalogue or the sheer amount of great songs that Nas has (to be fair to X, not many rappers do). It's really as simple as that.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

There really isn’t an artist outside of Biggie you can make an argument that he’s better than Nas
