Great time to up. , K-Rino taking over the Coli lmao. Real Hip Hop Is Over.... Here??????????????? Lol.
So basically, I never really listened to Nas until recently, when I kept seeing him getting worshiped as the greatest rapper to ever pick up a mic bar none. I listened to Illmatic (widely thought to be his best work), after I had seen a lot of people saying it’s the greatest hip-hop album of all time, and I was disappointed. Honestly, I really don’t see why that album is worshiped so much. Sure, it has some classic songs (NY State of Mind, Life’s A bytch and The World Is Yours), which coincidentally is the first three songs (minus The Genesis). Surely this shows that this is just another album that starts off strong, but falls off in the second half? I do think the album is GOOD but definitely not worthy of the GOAT title it is given.
After listening to Illmatic, I tried listening to his latest album, Life Is Good. Once again, I was really trying to see what was so special about this guy, and I couldn’t. (to be fair, I did only listen to Life is Good once, so this could just me being ignorant, but i Really don’t feel like listening to it again.)
Then my last try to see what was so special about him, was listening to the song ‘Ether’, considered the greatest diss of all time. It was alright, nothing really blew me away.
So after all this, I came to the conclusion that Nas is very overrated, and is not worthy of the GOAT title.
Unless there is something else that I am missing from him that I really need to listen to, I will forever stand by this.
Opinions?

K-Rino is better to me, infact he overtook Nas on my list. Nas is still in my top 4, K-Rino is 3rd. That was crazy to me cause I'm a HUGE Nas fan but I had to be objective. Nas is incredible to me, but K-Rino has some areas I think he is better in. And overall I had to be honest and judge the music/artistry.

better question: How come the only rep points you have come from the ruler 09?
Even better question, how come your rep points are -150?
if I tell you krino is the goat, would you +10 me?
To answer a separate question though as to why Nas is great to me...
Concepts, ok not as many as K-Rino but he has been creative and conceptual. He's a dope storyteller. He has numerous classic albums to me, some of my favourite are Distant Relatives, God's Son, Stillmatic and others. He's a dope lyricist, again I'm talking separately not to K-Rino, he has good content, rebellious content, music that means something, What Goes Around etc. He has positive music. So many things I could say, but to me Nas is 1 of the greats.
