Nas is making it clear he's the GOAT right now

[MaddGame]

Yup Nas is GOAT

 

[McPiff]

Meanwhile Jay has to latch onto 'Ye to remain relevant, trying to catch up looking like

yeah him sellin out shows and being the most popular rapper makes him irrelevant



coli nikkas are allergic to common sense and logic (don't even ask me how )

[Gifted one]

In terms of popularity, Em is the most popular, then I'd say Wayne, Drake, Ye, and then Jay-Z

 

[Loose]

Did he drop something new

he dropped 2 singles this year - Daughters and The Don, both are great

has the best verse of the year with Triple Beam Dreams, and had a bunch of other crazy guest verses last year. Nasty was one of the best songs of 2011

Nas is the living epitome of Hip Hop in my opinion. He represents it through and through. No other MC is as lyrically gifted

It's not even his lyrics though. He is a mainstream rapper who hasn't sold out. He deeply lives this shyt on a mainstream basis without looking like he's trying to please everybody and fit into the corporate music world.

First day cop..

nas' unreleased catalogue is better than most rappers entire discography

in fact it's almost better than his own discography

I dont feel like saying there is no GOAT so I'll just say flat out hell no.

Not a single one of the big rappers do, not wayne, not drake, not jay, not kanye. Lil Wayne differs so much from the rap game that he just flat out sang his first single. Not a lot of rappers would even try that shyt.




Is as much (or more) pleasing "everybody" than someone like Wayne or Drake.

Nas is a special lyricist, but as far as him caring about sales and money he's like the rest of does dudes. Difference is that he won't sell more with pop songs, cause he can't deliver radio bangers that equals his actual lyricist skills. The way a lot of other big rappers can. He's incapable of dropping songs like Miss me, N'ggas in paris or not afraid. Whenever he tries it's almost always the weakest song on the album and doesn't really do to well commercially.
