When it comes to 80's and 90's vets? Not really. When's the last time we talked about Redman's last album's impact? Where's the discussion on Raekwon's numbers? Does Big Boi's relevancy get talked about every time he drops a solo?

Seems more like the Nas haters are the insecure ones. Why else would they talk about his impact and relevancy 24/7?

Hitmaka bought up Nas for no reason but his fans/ stans insecure?
Yeah I agree, but I don’t think he knows how silly the whole popularity/sales over skills argument is.
If you’re an elite level talent like Nas, it allows for a long career. He’s been able to reinvent himself over time.
Young Berg could barely rap and had to become Hitmaka out of necessity. It ended up working out for him.
Impact on who and according to who…. cuz every artist pretty much impacts their audience and demographic only…and I KNOW Nas audience and demo were impacted by the album …..so having no impact to who?

Ya'll just proved my point
Nas is in my top 5 and I have a great deal of respect for him as an artist and as a man but Young Berg is right
Yes he can sell out numerous venues with esse just because he is Nas but he hasn't had an impact album in hip hop since Life Is Good and even that's iffy
And there were PLENTY of women there I might add.

Impact is tough to judge now because has never been more disposable. Is the KD run impressive? Sure, but it's mainly to appease the hardcore fan. Beyond that, it's tough to say who's really making lasting impact (damn near any suggestion would be wrong)
not that Jim Jones needs to be mentioned (I get what @Piff Perkins is saying though) but Jim's 2nd wind has mostly been really good and I don't think it's impacted the culture, but it was resonated with his fans and for the demo that appreciates rappers in their 40s making meaningful music.

Nas is a legacy act. He could drop Black Girl Lost pt. 3-15 and still sell out MSG.
