That’s a 7 weedplates every 22 years average and that’s so
To me it's Jay > Nas because the highs of Jays vs his lows when compared to the highs of Nas vs his lows just makes Jay better on average (to me, this is my opinion based on my musical preference)
That said: this is how you execute a post^ perfect execution
My main issue with Nas:
1. Illmatic was INSANE. That's hard to beat. And I sometimes think he set himself up for failure because how do you beat some of those records. Also: at 17.
2. He had a great run with great beats but somewhere (for me it really started with God's Son) his beat selection and choice of producers became REALLY questionable. Salaam Remi? Really. For the majority of an album? Nikka you're not The Fugees. You Nas. And this is an issue: does HE realize he's Nas? Or does he think he's just some rapper for who it's ok to have 'ok' beats?
3. Many weedplates, many, many weedplates. Forgettable projects. And on top of that now he hops on 'new trap type' records and it DOES NOT WORK. His work (again an issue with selecting and being conscious of who to work with) with Kanye.. I mean it's 'ok' at best. Nas + Kanye right after College Dropout would've made sense.
I give him props though: he's been putting in work, he keeps going and I was hoping Nasir would be the crown jewel and that it would be just SMASH after SMASH real Hip-Hop records. Hopefully he releases an album that moves his entire discography into a different light
