Official Nas Thread

Eminem got a lot of flaws lol. His bars are mad corny. Eminem is super technically proficient when it comes to syllables. The best at that. But he's flawed when it comes to what he's saying. I'm saying Ransom is literally rapping at an extremely high level when it comes to bar structure, wordplay, and metaphors.

I can’t get wit it bruh. Lemme not be extreme. I fukk with Ran but I have criticism. Especially this CURRENT form where he sounds like a damn computer sometimes. Like I said. He’s technically better than Jadakiss but he damn sure ain’t a better rapper. His shyt too robotic now.

Nah I get it. He's definitely not for everyone. I fukk with Ran heavy but I get his style can be boring.

Current Ransom isn't better than current Nas either.

I can't take more than a couple tracks from Ran. Dude literally sounds the same on every single track. Same flow, same delivery (the delivery gets pretty annoying after a while). His bar structure is beyond predictable at this point. Yes, he can rhyme... so can a thousand other rappers.

Dudes who bar you to death are just masquerading their lack the skills to paint a picture in a concise and efficient manner.

It’s crazy I’m not even tryna shyt on Ran. Ran always been my nikka since he was on Desert Storm. I don’t even particularly think boring would be the right word. Cause I fukk wit his music.

Em is a1 when it comes to putting syllables together but when it comes to other aspects of lyricism like Metaphors Entredres etc a few rappers have him beat, I would say the most lyrical mainstream rappers at the moment are J Cole and Lupe.

There is NO version of muthafukking Ransom that is better than ANY VERSION of Nas. I have no idea why its even a debate or even why the tweet was posted. Its simply a ridiculous comparison. Is anybody seriously going to debate that Bishop Nehru is better than Jay-Z? THATS how utter ridiculous a conversation this is

A lot of people (not really "a lot" but there's a sect of them) think Ransom is super upper echelon dope tho...so it's really not that ridiculous of a statement...especially when you factor in the fact it's all subjective. I'm with you, I don't think Ransom is even close to Nas' tier...but saying Ransom is better than "Hitboy Nas" isn't gonna make me do a double take. If somebody said Maino is better than Nas then okay...we gotta drug test them or sumn.

Had brunch on Sunday…

 

[Izanami]

Completely disagree. Lol. ESPECIALLY on Rooftop Sermons. And this is even playing the shyt for cats who aren’t really familiar with either one like that. Rome verse come on and nikkas scrunch they face up. Ransom has become EXTREMELY robotic in flow and delivery and it suffers as a result imo. He damn sure ain’t far off better than Magic Nas. If we gonna talk about which rapper I would rather listen to if I heard each for the first time. It’s Magic Nas over Ransom. Let alone 90s Nas. That’s just retarded.

Agreed bodied him on Dark Love. Better delivery and mic presence than ran too, who sounds like a diet Kool G Rap sometimes.

Man, these dudes only got like 2000 followers and no comments going about this..lol


Who cares

this

 

[kes929]

Exactly. I'm glad other people are starting to realize what Nas has had to go through

 

[IllmaticDelta]

I fukk with Watson/Galvatron and 3Letterman, but they definitely have a very rigid taste in music.

that's who that "watson" guy is? When I posted on SOHH in the early to mid-2000s I think I remember Galv being a 50cent stan
