Is Nas the most stanned rapper by other rappers of all time?

[surgical gloves]

I'd say he's definitely the most sampled.. especially on the underground, which i guess in a sense can equate to him being the most stanned

 

[MexicanKingpin]

nope its pac check the stats dawg

 

[Klos2God]

Yes... These niccas want and need Nas's approval/blessing to feel validated... Including Jay...

"Name a rapper that I ain't influence"

 

[Klos2God]

john conner redid the blueprint, so did young chris

but its jay or nas, but jay has so many haters they all join up in one bundle even if they dont like the same artist, but jay is in everybody top 5, every artist look up to him, they mention in songs all day(just making a case for jay, cause nas get the same)

Who is John Conner? And Chris and Ye dont count because they were part of his team.. Nas has stretched from coast to coast...

 

[Klos2God]

Nas is the most copied and revered rapper doing it. While many model their business acumen after Jay or their passion after PAC, most MCs set the bar to nas. I mean J Cole sitting here writing songs about disappointing Nas. Elzhi and Fashawn redid Illmatic on seperate occasions. Pac took I gave you power and made Me and My Girlfriend. Nas is the best and alot of lyricist look up to him for inspiration.

You nailed this...

 

[Heelish]

Lupe started rapping after he heard IWW

Drake said he studyed IWW for his debut album

Jayz called his crib without Nas giving him his numbers

First non Wu Tang member feature

J Lo and M.I.A both said Nas their favorite rapper

Denzel said Nas is his favorite rapper

Common said Nas is his favorite rapper

He's in Fabolous's, 50's, Kendrick's, Eminem's top 5

Kanye wants to be a "chi-town nikka with a Nas flow"

Martin Scorcese had "Thief's Theme" playing in The Departed

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Nas is/was a pac stan tho

True
But did you read about pacs love for illmatic in Born TO Use Mics

My nikka even got yelled at for blasting it to loud And when he kept rewinding the beginning over and over not even wanting to listen to the rest of the album
And him protection illmatic before his fight with the Hughes brothers

Goat recognizes goat

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Martin Scorcese had "Thief's Theme" playing in The Departed

Leonardo DiCaprio called him the goat also

 

[JuvenileHell]

Leonardo DiCaprio called him the goat also

lol and don't forget:

"If you don't know the lyrics to Illmatic, you're ignorant"

 

[Danie84]

This what happens when you're the undisputed GOAT:

Who is John Conner? And Chris and Ye dont count because they were part of his team.. Nas has stretched from coast to coast...

rapper from detroit, pretty good rapper, serious bars, if chris and ye dont cont then fashawn and elze dont count cause them nikkaz wack as fukk sleep inducing ass nikkaz, plus wale has dedicated songs to jay, plus he releasing his album on the 25 because reasonable doubt dropped on the 25

even murda mook wrote songs to hov, but like i said its nas and jay

lupe, kendrick has both said hov is the goat also, plus a number of countless other rappers lets not turn this into a stan, cause we would have let nas down

 

[feelosofer]

I would say

Rakim
Pac
Kool G

Then Nas, but if Nas keeps making music the way he is at a high level then he could top all of these rappers when/if he hangs his mic up.

I will say this Nas is the most stanned rapper by this current generation and of the past decade.

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

Nas got muvaphukin Krs one to do a tribute for him... EGOTISTICAL Krs One, that's like John Lennon doing a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, you can't do better than that

 

[Ineedmoney504]

I would say

Rakim
Pac
Kool G

Then Nas, but if Nas keeps making music the way he is at a high level then he could top all of these rappers when/if he hangs his mic up.

I will say this Nas is the most stanned rapper by this current generation and of the past decade.

nas past them nikkaz along time ago imo, none of them lasted close to time he did, plus the quality of shyt he put out, i think jay and nas both past all them former goats in the mid early 2000s

 

[Doome]

lol its funny cuz rakim is one of the few rappers i think genuinely dislikes nas they stay taking lil shots at each other in interviews

i believe this too, rakim always got his look on his face, when Nas come up in interviews
