He basically said he prefers Kane as an MC overall because Kane was fly. He had songs for every occasion whereas KRS was more one dimensional. He also HEAVILY inferred that Kane was lyrically better than KRS which was the most shocking thing to me

So, what Nas is saying is that when he's sliding around with his girl, he's not playing Edutainment? :mjlit:

I don't know if I agree with him on this because KRS was a dangerous rapper. He always had a strong presence and he was definitely lyrical. He was also versatile. He had "Blackman in Effect," "Love's Gonna Get Cha," and "The Kenny Parker Show" on the same album. He even wrote "Call Me D-Nice." And he was also able to adjust to the times better than Kane did. I'm pretty sure Kane himself has said multiple times that his later albums were only made to fulfill his deal with Warner Bros. so he was just doing whatever at that point.

The only thing KRS didn't specialize in was making songs for the ladies, but I'm sure he has a few outside of "Brown Skin Woman." And even then, you didn't come to him for those songs.

I disagree. I always thought KRS was top tier lyrically and preferred him over the likes of Kane and Kool Moe Dee. KRS was also able to better adapt to the times than Kane or Moe Dee.


KRS is lyrical just a notch below those others. Musically, yeah, I always preferred most of KRS' work over the likes of Kool Moe Dee (he's really in the era before albums) and most of Kane's ( I mainly found him to be too glossy/chick-centric). When it comes to the 80 rappers and their complete body of work into the 90s and 2000s, I listened/prefer them in this ranking:

1. Kool G Rap
2. KRS
3. Rakim
4. Kane


but in their peak form?

1. Rakim
2. Kool G Rap
3. Kane
4. KRS

bro i heard the album but i didnt know that

bc at that time, i cant lie i smoked 2 blunts back to back. wait.. i mean i smoked an eighth in 2 blunts

but right now i smoked a blunt which was pretty big. but i didnt measure. but trees make me normal so not saying i became dumb

but negative effects for me: big time paranoia n laziness

so i still dont know what u talking about and i have spotify open... listening to million dollars worth of game with 2 chainz n 42 dugg

im not in the mood for intellectual tracks but meet joe black is the 2nd track on my mix on spotify

that means i liked the song the best n somehow nas picked a good beat

but why cant nas rap over a beat like 42 dugg n 2 chainz track

i aint arguing. but this beat kinda sound like oochie wallie

hit boy is a good producer but somehow the tracks still ruined by beats like salaam remi back

Nas dont have a good ear for beats like who doesnt know that? but he doesnt have 1 guy who is not a yes man?

im hoping the firm reunites with cormega n az

Mega n AZ got great ear for beats

like nas i got love for u but u should never decide on beats- ill keep listening bc lyrics are unmatched rn

1 album with Nas with fire beats but he puts out the same year the Knicks win the chip

then i can finally die in peace

and if the jets or raiders ( my 2 fav nfl teams i followed me whole life) win, man fukk that. i cant live in fantasy

but New York championships for next ten years, alternating with knicks/nets

but bk nets win this year n prob next year but in 2 years if they even keep all the same players but burks, walker- fukk burks though i bet $100 on the knicks yesterday i could have won $350. and i could buy alot of ttrees with that. but anyway burks missed a wide open 3 n game over. fournier pissed me off too but he good. Burks leave the knicks or this earth- ur too old to be on a squad with youngest avg age


damn this was real

i cant lie i love nore n cnn...and the craziest shyt had to be when nore shot a mobb deep crew member n Prodigy (RIP P) said nore shot somebody on the radio describing the incident...but still being the biggest cnn fan.. i never seen the video but i remember it was on an easter mixtape- but i saw the video this year when my friends claimed there is no song n nore never released an mixtape noreaster or whatever he called it but it had nore shot somebody

and i saw the video n i was like how u going to make a video. look im sure that mobb deep crew member lived but a video? and when i saw freeway in it..i was like nah...i mean a big fan of freeways music. But since he got famous hes been religious...im sure he didnt know or like mobb deep didnt give him a dap or headnod n he got so pissed that when he heard nore actually shooting the video he came thru..and prayed the mobb deep crew member dies in the hospital bc of no dap. nore was like dude insane. ok made last part up. but whatever, free but just make a song n album iim sure u didnt know or whatever

but even as a kid back then..cnn n mobb deep even fighting with fists n no guns was like nas dissing mega like why- was the one love line fake? i dont know. i know mega n nas friends-im happy but for steve stoute against ur homie who got out of jail who u respected so much u - like the story when havoc knocked out tragedy khadafi in front of nore n capone n they looked up tto tragedy then...he was all over "the war report" at to this day that my fav album of all time and i bought the mobb album the first day too hell on earth n the war report was better- they were released 6 months apart but i remember i was when i bought mobb deep hell on earth and i was when i got cnn. both first day though. but i think 6 months

ok i dont know how this post sound crazy too like nas thread

wait does the rapper AV still post here. last time i talked to him he was about to release a debut album

i had his number since then but i cant lie i never called since the last time i spoke to him which i thought was 4-5 years ago

but number didnt work n that usually means u didnt call someone for over 5 yearrs

i did post here before but if someone who reads this, like whats is AV's name on spotify or the name of debut album

cant lie i did send a conversation message but just like the name of the album n artist and then i will never come back and post long shyt

ok time to go all out: i mean last post...i used to love this site but people have crazy opinions about artists i like n i cant argue bc no one or rarely ever changes their opinion..reminds me of politics n i hate politics. they all corrupt. im independent but always have voted for democrats. i cant name a good one. but somehow became a fan of bernie n aoc but no proof but tthey corrupt too

why i tell u my age though- that is deleted- i mean my age i bought those albums- anyway it changed 1 year- to finish that

ok mobb deep is the greatest duo group n ugk is 2nd

but cnn my favorite group n the war report my fav album

but if queens didnt fight each other it would be bigger than BK rap but with bobby n rowdy out now. that would prob end now. but who cares all NY

cant lie waited 7 years for a sequel to computers but aint complaining . well freestyle song video was the best n that was 1st. ok not complainingbut i actually hated a song..which is for me realizing the racist people were right nn trump is a better president than biden. if he is like here or whtever

but this probably my last post but if u can or remember him or he even posts here and he doesnt remember me, but i did remember i wanted to always hear it but only if he became like a pastor like mase it aint even made or whatever, like spotify artist name or the album

for trump n half dead mr burns thing- even trump would have called the USA athletes back bc even a racist trump knows China cant profit from USA in any way after that. china is so strict but somehow those people in the front. ok ill give biden 1 last chance. show me the bodies of those people yelling at the USA black athletes

but it do work that way in china look up "uyghurs genocide" and im sure google has articles but i been known about that but somehow no one else does

and i know about trumps muslim ban but waited for biden to pull them if he alive then pull them

Humans r lucky thanos is fake . because even 75% is too little. but 50% fine bc that idiot elon musk iniatied skynet..u a genius but u never understood terminator? nah that i cant agree with. on instagram i saw a video on his new computer company or skynet. i was wtf if someone like hitler got this technology he can control humans to kill the ones he dont like...but my friend was like yea these elite white people going to kill humans n have a planet set up...nah bc this idiot has his own space program spacex..nah then humans are 100% good n i wish they were

elon musk should be in stars wars. im serious i was joking before hes a genius but hes so smart if he actually got turned into dust by the star wars guns he would be back or something..i would hope nah i cant lie i would hope every who worked there who knew it was skynet could be evaporated

but it wouldnt be that easy for genius skynet leader like the stufff even jack bauer or brody from homeland would snitch if tortured like that

thats all just a movie....im workking on a screenplay like Chris from Sopranos

just a movie idea...not crazy but crazy high

ok ill try to find album myself . i did look under AV but nothing but i dont know if it even made an album tbh

this is a joke im serious- its from an old Bollywood movie but i cant remember the name ill look but peace anyway just in case i dont tell u name

Aslaam Alakium

and some of that stuff up there lies for real

like of course im not going to come back to telll u the name but it really is...ok maybe some parts were based on different movies..definetely could be a posi

hopefully yall aint caught in the skynet wave.
