yea love pac 2 but had to prove a point.

this guy wants to dissect a nas verse where he says "load up a mic and bust one"
how about pac saying bust and a bunch of gibberish
As long as we're on the same page that naS at his best was lyrically on the same level as Pac on his 1st album then I'm cool with it. :manny:

Dumb ass naS stans proving my point.

Pac lyrical:mjlol:

This song was great though. It really stood out to me on the album for some reason. Felt like AZ and Nas were meant for each other on this

I will never understand how anybody considers Jay z in the same league as Nas :francis:


My mind is infested...
With sick thoughts that circle, like a Lexus
If driven wrong, it's sure to hurt you
Dual level like duplexes, in unity
My crew and me, commit atrocities like we got immunity
You guessed it, manifest it, in tangible goods
Platinum Rolexed it, we don't lease, we buy the whole car, as you should
My confederation, dead a nation, ex-plode, on detonation
Overload, the mind of a said patient
When it boils to steam, it comes to it
We all fiends, gotta do it, even righteous minds go through this
True this, the streets school us to spend our money foolish
Bond with jewelers and watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level, meditated like a buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous
Dreams of getting cream, let's do this
It gets te-di-ous
So i keep one eye open like CBS
You see me stressed right?

Jay Z - Can I Live

:wow:

it was a naS stan comparing naS zenith lyrically to Pac at his worst... get mad at duke, not me... I for the record agree with him. Except Pac's shyt was powerful while naS shyt was powerless...

does your physical frame get it?

I ain't saying all that but it was far from "brilliant". Nas gets credit for a lot of filler on his rhymes. His flow covers up some holes in his lyricism in my opinion. There was another thread talking about how a Nas verse was a perfect rhyme and all I could was chuckle because it constrained so much filler. Here's an example of what I mean:

"Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some, load up a mic and bust one cuss while I puss from"

The fukk does the bolded even mean?:heh: That whole stanza of bars is filler but people act like its so crazy lyrically.

Man, shut your b!tch ass up. You obviously don't know what the fvck you talking about. You d!ckriding one of the biggest f@ggots on here @intilectual recipricol and exposing yourself. Old cac f@ggot. Next time just take your negs like a man and keep it moving.

Always liked Nas' verse more. It was more thought provoking and made you think you were looking at his life through his own eyes on some POV shyt and then Olu comes in with his horn and just sends the songs off so damn lovely.
Amazing fukking track.
