At 26:14 Rza talks about Nas for a few minutes. More or less calls him the greatest lyricist. Calls him the Bobby Fischer of rap. Says that Nas was already a master lyricist at 15 years old. Says Nas has a way of putting a great amount of information in a small phrase.
Damn I always thought RZA met Nas around the time Ghost and Rae did in 95. I wish he would have expanded on that story of meeting Nas when he was 15 and the circumstances behind it.
I know a bunch of rappers used to travel from borough to borough battling each other but i’ve never heard of Nas battling anyone outside of Queensbridge.
Yeah, I wanted to hear more of that story too. Not hard to believe though, because the time period he's talking about (1990?) was only a couple years prior to Nas dropping Halftime, and only like one year before Live at the BBQ. Around that time wouldn't Nas have been hanging in the studio with Eric B and them?

Yea Nas was in the studio at that time. Ra dismissed him.
My GOAT producer talking about two my top 5 GOATS
"Gza was a master lyricist at 21....Nas was one at 15"
Ra didn’t really “dismiss” Nas like he was wack it was just that Rakim had a specific process when he came to the studio and when Large Pro had Rakim listen to Nas demo he was focusing on his own work.

Bruh. I know Ra. Lol.
I’m just going by what Eric B and Large Professor themselves said on the matter. Rakim was focused on his own process and just wasn’t trying to really listen to other MC’s rhymes or be a mentor.
