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.
not too different from my list. Cube is one of my fav rappers but you can't argue Nas fell off while putting Cube at number 1. I'm a big Cube fan and he definitely fell off :mjlol:

I said It was written was that. Because his rapping on that album is out of this world. No other rapper has gotten in that zone in my opinion. It doesn't mean he fell off. He touched a peak that was unheard of is more like it. Honestly to me it sounds like you haven't paid attention to his music much same with Sage... He admitted he never even took in It was written like that and dismisses everything after. Obviously he isn't coming from an INFORMED point of view. It's that simple.

The irony is that they are in the same league but different divisions. For a reason. Sage can't find the same kind of audience because he isn't as gifted and not even close. Imagine some b-league NBA player telling Curry he trash and people cosigning it? Shyt is beyond retarded :dead:

If you kept reading his tweets he made some personal attacks at Nas so obviously this isn't about purely being critical of music. Don't defend clowns.

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.
I thought after his 1st 2 albums. At the pace and quality of them I figured he would be the undisputed GOAT. But by 1997 I was like he don’t got it

Nas is the most disappointing artist to me also

Even me saying all that he the 2nd best ever to me
