Yup both at their apex lyrically but Nas' creativity took it to the next level. Also was watching this vid today. Nas was goin crazy during the LIG era.


One of his best verses ever was during that LIG era :wow:

A project minded individual, criminal tactics
Us black kids born with birth defects, we hyperactive
Mentally sex-crazed, dysfunctional, they describe us
They liars, at the end of the day, we're fukkin' survivors
I remember watchin' Scarface the first time
Look at that big house, that Porsche paid for by crime
How could I sell this poison to my peoples, in my mind?
They dumb and destroy themselves is how I rationalize

In the b*stardized nation, Magnum .45 carryin'
Where I'm from ain't far from Washington Heights to cop Aryan
A rookie boy, the cookie didn't make no profit
A stranger to the block, I damn near had to make them cop it
It only took a fiend to taste it once to say it's garbage
I brought it back to papi, ain't tryna take no losses
He focuses on my emotionless young dealer face, then pauses
He gives me powder, he has faith in Nas' ambitions to distribute coke

Had addictions to gold chains, Mercedes Benz hopes, but I'm again broke
This shyt ain't cut for me, other dealers, they up their orders
Barely at 62s, they already up to quarters
They out there every day, some true hustlers for you
I'm at it half way, none of my customers are loyal
Picturin' pipin' out the seats of a Pathfinder
Powerful pursuit for p*ssy, cash, to flash diamonds
My junior high school class, wish I stayed there
Illegal entrepreneur, I got my grades there
Blamin' society, mad, it wasn't made fair
I would be Ivy League if America played fair
Poor excuse,
and so I was
Throwin' rocks at the pen, just for the love
Before the evil, the secret life of G's
You seein' me blurry, triple beam dreams

:wow::wow:

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
It's like a cycle.

Everybody who's ever dissed Nas eventually came out as a Nas stan, that shyt is always crazy to me :russ:
The whole State Property was fans of Nas and they said they hated having to diss him. But Jay was the one who was feeding them so they felt the need to. Jay was actually siccing them nikkas on Nas. Told them to treat him like he killed they mom's or some shyt. That's another big difference between Nas and Jay in the battle. Jay tried to send his whole crew at Nas. Nas was dolo. But The Lox did have his back tho. I always said it was like Nas and The Lox vs Jay and State Property.
