I don't think Marc Lamont Hill is a Nas fan at all. The only time I ever hear him name Nas is for the generic namedrop answer. He's a Thought/Roots fan just for being from that era in Philly where nerds were really paying attention to The Roots (Do You Want More & Illadelph Halflife era).

But if you really break it down, Thought prob has the same amount of solo tracks as Jay. Most of those Roots albums are Thought solo albums, being that Malik B was MIA and Dice only would be on 2 or so tracks
He is a Nas fan. nikka prolly didn't think of Nas at that point.

I just rarely ever hear him talk about Nas like that, publicly. Of course he's a hip-hop head, and he listens to and studies albums. But he rarely talks about Nas the way that he speaks of Thought, or Dre. But you are also right in that a lot of times Nas doesn't come up.

It's just that Nas ALWAYS comes up from those in the media that are huge Nas fans. It always comes across to me that he listens to Nas, but not a current fan. I know he loves Illmatic, It Was Written and Lost Tapes, like most of Philly.

Kendrick doesn't have better music than Pac or Biggie. ESPECIALLY Pac. Pac recorded enough material to last him like 6-7 more albums. 3 of em being double albums. I ended my statement by flat saying Kendrick isn't better than any top 5 artist.
I never said he made better music than Pac or Big. I was STRICTLY talking about the statement of saying it’s “too soon” for him to be in anyone’s top 5 if someone chooses (because all lists are subjective anyway). He’s not in my top 5, but I’m not gonna argue with someone who has him in theirs. I DEFINITELY won’t say the reason he’s not in mine is because he hasn’t done it long enough. Like I said, his debut album was 13 years ago and he has 5 studio albums. He’s 37 years old. He’s not some new artist anymore nor a young kid.

Kendrick best albums aint better than Jay's best. He don't got more bangers than Jay either. He's not better on features either. Jay's diss track that lost in his battle is better than all of the diss tracks Kendrick dropped against Drake.
RD is #1, but all other Kendrick albums clear his shyt lmao ngl. I get it you not a K Dot guy and you like East Coast shyt. I’m 24, and grew up on everything and I like Hov but I don’t treat him like some mythical God like East Coaat nikkas born in 65-85 do. Jays discography is solid but not fw with Dot, Jays a better rapper but he’s not always consistent in his verses. Can’t even name a hot verse on BP3 like that lol. Jay got more bangers but so what, even Jays banger aren’t like timeless like his peers from the 00s. Only ones that still get played in the spot like that are the ones with Ye, we not bumping Money Ain’t A Thang, Can I Get, Dirt off Your shoulder in the club fam in 2024:russ:

It’s almost 100% always the media/industry dudes who say Jayz is the best, you ever notice that? Like you never see him called the best really online and/or by casual people…at least I don’t see it. Spooky, lol. And, if you were to ask these incentivized ass dudes to explain why he’s the best, I bet you they’d have trash answers, even someone like Budden who should be able to explain why well. Outside of tenure, he is definitely not clearly the best rapper ever, hell no, Buddens and them are admitted D eaters
I'll give you half my check if you can give 5 people that rate Black Thought offline :unimpressed:
