There is not a single rapper who fell off harder than Nas in the history of hiphop (Sage Francis)

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

the reason I say iww is sharper is bc of the storytelling/concept shyt isn't too heavy on illmatic

I gave you power
and
the set up

the visuals on those is just

Nas Rapping on It was written is apex rap

Illmatic is the better album but the rapping on it was written is godly status.

Take it in Blood is a top 3 Nas song ever

 

[phillycavsfan]

I guess he never heard of Steady B.

​

This will forever be the correct answer.

 

[street heat]

sage is a dope lyricist.... seems kind of random for him to tweet about nas

this still gets play

 

[KravenMorehead™]

This is the shyt Action Bronson wanted to be on w/ Ghostface and got checked

But Nas in some shyt right now so it's blood in the water

 

[Grand Conde]

Post God's Son he is probably right.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Post God's Son he is probably right.

life is good exists...

minus the swizz track it's a great album.

he ain't right about shyt. he's definitely irrelevant tho

 

[Supreme365]

nikkas kill me with that shyt

it was written was lyrically sharper than illmatic

its just the beats were glossy and not made by the mt rushmore of nyc producers....and that made purists mad

how you fall off when his shyt is fukkin razor sharp till this day

Nah

The visuals on the last verse of the message played out like a scene from the wire. Not too many lyricists in any genre can tell a story with the type of pacing that nas brings.

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

purist rap conservative trash

that's what his whole shyt is. type of cacs that want a nikka to make illmatic over and over again.

That's exactly what it is. Chuck d is the goat in his eyes (I'm familiar with sage, that's his real opinion)

Ps no disrespect to chuck d

Depends on what type of pedestal you put Nas on.
I don't have him on that high of a pedestal to say he fell off the hardest in history.
But many people do,so I don't see how they could really disagree with his statement.

very easily

name your goats and lets see... how many of them are still making music that long and staying consistent. There's very few rappers who have a career like Jay and Nas. Most legacy artists would kill to still get that level of interest about their music.

a lot of fans also pointed out in his own comments that Eminem is the right answer.

1.Ice Cube
2.2pac
3.Jay-Z
4.Scarface

Problem with what your saying is,Nas was placed on a pedestal due to his lyricism more than his artistry. So when you have guys in here saying It Was Written is the apex of lyricism,it should be safe to say none of his following projects came close to being the "apex of lyricism". Which means you should agree with Sage Francis.

 

[BaRRyG]

A lot of irreputable randoms starting to take shots at Nasir lately and feelin real comfortable doing it ...



Gettin kinda spooky low key ...

The lack of respect is for the OGs that actually give a fukk about the art and culture is getting out of hand.

Nikkas gotta get slapped up and get a ass whippin

only to nas stans on the coli

lonzo ball already told yall what it is

So if lonzo ball told yall it's ok to suck dikk you gon suck dikk?
