Hes not wrong.
Nas was already 1st ballot hall of fame....then the two critically acclaimed trilogies with HIT...the tours...it was like Kobe with no 24, a second hall of fame career at around 51 years old (im too lazy to google his age)..crazy. Someone will say they didnt sell...duh only a few rappers in todays time move major units and it wont be the guy over 50 clearly. To me it gave us 2 classics (Magic and KD2).
For me it was always him and Pac battling for that spot. But since Pac died in 96, he got it for me and its not really close.
