Even leaving skills out of the equation Nas's longevity puts him over everyone. I don't see how anyone can have Big and Pac over him while deceased for well over a decade.

Nas's pen isn't as sharp as it used to be but his music is still at a high level and he's figured out how to age gracefully on mic. Most rappers run out of gas and have nothing to say well before 40. Nas still sounds inspired.



I've listened to some RD lately and I don't think Jay at his best is anywhere close to Nas on Illmatic and IWW. That's not a slight because I don't feel anyone has ever rapped at a level that high.
Also, it may not seem like a big deal, but Nas got started a few years before Jay did, so he's even more of a veteran.

I’ve had a very difficult year but an especially great week so far… i’m listening to Kings disease 2 and damn it really hits different to match a good mood!

I’m confident hit boy can create that 90s sound. He did great at emulating death row production on death row east and although not as gritty as the original I liked life is like a dice game

curious to see what he’s done for the Wu joint.

BEST RAPPER ALIVE..

LETS GO!!!

By the way, I wish more rappers were like this.. Just drop music and keep it moving.. we love some, hate some and some are just soso.. Get over your inhibitions already...

Miles Davis has 61 albums.. the weak ones don't take from his legacy.. in fact, sometimes you revisit the so-called "weak" albums and find gems in them...



100 percent agree.

Nas don’t give a fukk about Versuz and has said so himself. I doubt he pays it any mind
Nas fukks wit Verzuz heavy. He has commented in the comment section in a few of em and he was even with Swizz during a few of em. He def cares about Verzuz he just don’t wanna be involved in it.
