First Stan to admit Droog is nicer than Nas at this exact moment gets the prize.
if nas did not punch in, so much after illmatic.
plus, had some rhymebooks to go back to and revisited illmatic by piggybacking off his own flows.
like the impersonators and biters did,...
maybe nas would be as potent as he should be.
yet, he lost his way skill wise and culturally so long ago.
i doubt he, even remembers or knows these things about his skills anymore.
on top, of never making commercial bpm based sellout production based records in bulk since IWW.
which would have kept the sweetspot of the new influx of listeners.
from the world wide marketing of leo burnett for hiphop in 1996.
nas would have never had to move from his comfort zone.
plus, kept the sonic landscape and palate, from being changed in the mecca.
he would have never had to make music out of his cultural arena, and forced the market to adhere to his choices.
when, he decided to follow steve stout and the trackmasters.
turning his back on being the second coming of the protectors of the culture.
who kept rap from being where we are now.
by attacking hammer and anyone faking jax
he, ruined the cultural protection mechanisms for the culture and the sound sonically for the culture.
where it is now,....
which, allowed anyone who emulated his technical skill based to deviate.
plus, created the arguement for sellouts to be accepted for selling out.
not to mention, he never stood his ground as the most important cultural figure and wrinkle in time for rap.
in the past twenty years,...
nas = darth vader of rapper
the nikka is annakin skywalker in the flesh.

It's way to easy to get a plat thread dissing NaS or his stans.
