This is super disrespectful to Nas. I’d be tight.
Nas is Emmitt Smith. Never given the proper credit. Everyone thinks his O-Line(Nas producers) were the ones making magic but don't take into acct Emmitt held the state of FL records in high school and had 7 more 1k rushing yard seasons after his O-Line disbanded to injuries and Free Agency..while Premo/Pete Rock/Qtip/Large Pro can't make another Illmatic

If I have to make a basketball comparaison Nas is Tim Duncan. But in my eyes he's the best so he's Jordan.
Nor has Nas
I don't know why but I find this disrespectful to Nas 
Not only is this a terrible comparison the OP Stole it from a WHITE MAN who works for Complex
When Illmatic came out nas was undisputed the best rapper on Earth, and was basically the was beloved figure in Hip Hop
what are you talking about, the nikkaz is like jesus, nikkaz who beef him is acting groupies like Jim Jones who is old enough to be a grandfather, and still like a little girl when it comes to Nas lmao
Are you serious
This Nas slander is one of the corniest things from so called hip hop message board, and that cac at complex who called him the carmelo anthony rap doesn't know anything about rap
Carmelo was never the man in any era, Nas was the biggest rapper out at one time lmao people forget he was a huge success commercially and was a commercial rapper before Jay-Z even thought about dumbing it down lmao
He already did every aspect of the game, that's why he's the GOAT, because he did it all
Prime example of why people outside the culture shouldn't be talking about hip hop
This was the greatest achievement in rap, greatest accolade a rap artist could have bestowed by them by the rap industry
not a grammy, not america word, of any of that bullshyt, five mics in the source was the PINNACLE
The culture has been hijacked, a lot of vultures, band wagoners, and lames who don't know nothing about this shyt all up in mix trying to dictate shyt and change rules
fukk that, I ain't letting it happen
I’m sorry no he was not. Just like people say Reasonable doubt did nothing. Illmatic did even less. Snoop in 94 was still the guy concensus wise
Think about this...when you ask any moderately knowledgeable hip hop head to list their Top 5 ever, you are more than likely gonna hear Nas mentioned. Ask them for their Top 10 and you are almost definitely gonna hear Nas mentioned.
Go ask any moderately knowledgeable basketball head to list their Top 5 or Top 10...or Top 25 ever...I can almost assure you that you won't hear Carmelo Anthony's name, lol
It's a bad comparison. I always thought Nas = Tim Duncan. He has more flash/pizazz than Duncan but I just mean in the sense of not having the big super hits and club smashes and cute shyt, etc... but everybody who knows basketball knows he's at the top of the tops in terms of G.O.A.T's

This nikka said Illmatic did less
THIS nikka SAID FIVE MIC ILLMATIC, the holy grail of Hip Hop
Which MCs SWEAR BY, which J Dilla in your AVI SWEARS BY
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Like I said, people don't know anything about culture
only record sells, only the hype and fame these are the outsiders were brought into hip hop through record sells and commercialism
this what selling out brings, nobody would knows hip hop would ever say Illmatic did nothing
get the fukk outta here
Snoop in 94 impact on the game is light years ahead illmatic. Snoop was still the best rapper.
Cube
Snoop
Jay
PAC
Biggie
Drake
Wayne
LL
these are the only rappers since I been alive where it was a concensus that they were the best
