Nas is the only mainstream rapper from Queens without a #1 billboard hit. What went wrong?

For this/your era, girls who were raised in the 90's wouldn't agree, especially if you consider features.
Nah even for those who were raised i the 90's, Cole has more lady market. Nas has female fans, and has some RNB features but Cole got party anthems

I mean this dope doesn't even acknowledge one of the GOAT albums It Was Written

So basically until he does nothing will really go right

U can’t be a goat in your field if u went 20 years with nothing significant coming from you during that period

20 years and not one record that someone can play that would be instantly like that’s nas. Not a line. Not a hook

Nothing

Empire State of Mind is basically a Nas rip off song anyway so let's just count that
