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

An impact in what sense? Like is Nas the most popular star in the world? No. Is he more talked about in the culture in 2023 than Ice Spice is? No. Should he be selling higher on Billboard? Probably. But for a veteran indie rapper who is about to turn 50, he can sell out MSG (speaking of that, which other NY rappers could sell out the Garden besides Jay, Nicki, Cardi, 50 and maybe Wu as a group?), has 10 million plus monthly Spotify listeners, usually still debuts on the Top 5 Billboard amongst female pop stars, is winning Grammy's, so he's probably right where he needs to be.

The HB albums made an impact to rap fans. Mostly everyone is acknowledging he's having a great late career album run and putting out great music. Not too bad for an older indie artist who barely even pre-promoted his last two albums lol.

I don’t get nas fanbase at all. 3 top 10 debuts. But them shyts combined for 7 or 8 weeks in the top 200. They last 2 weeks of 3 weeks. Then gone
Yes. They have a short lived impact amongst the core hip hop fan base of a certain breadth or knowledge or age.

If the point that people are making is that they didn’t have a significant impact, or an impact with a younger or less knowledgeable fan base, then I would agree. But the point is that there is NO impact, which as I’ve proven, is false.

Every woman I know 30+ fukks wit Nas in SOME capacity. Hitmaka is 37 years old. Gonna be 38 this year. Who this nikka think he foolin? And if he speaking on young chick's. What chick he know asking to throw on some Jim Jones? Lol
This the wild shyt I don’t get

I can understand a dude under 30 saying something bout Nas being irrelevant because he prolly wasn’t even born during Nas heyday, or was extremely young at the time

Hitmaka was a teenager-young adult during Nas run

It seems like he trying to blend in with the young crowd, hoping saying shyt like this make people assume he in his 20s since most people prolly don’t realize he pushing 40 :sas2:

Having a concert in Madison square garden is more impactful than whatever young berg is trying to say here.
No it’s not.

Nothing about that concert mattered to the non Nas Stan’s. In the era were everything is documented and recorded show the Highlights of that concert being reported on anywhere


yall in here acting like this shyt was fade to black

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?
