I understand artist progression, but when you listen to a nas track now a days, and then listen to this... it doesn't compare. these lyrics and this delivery is second to none., back when nas was hungry
@makaveli2193 define success, matterfact ill do it for you......."The accomplishment of an aim or purpose", I would say nas and jay have both done that, nas aim was to educate people on our history, and spit real shit, hes fufilled that, and jays aim and purpose was to be rich and popular, hes fufilled that.
i wish i was in high school back in those days with the real hip hop, im in high scool now and all this whack stuff is what revolves around high school
yeah yeah, this remix for my niggas, remember back when i was 17, just a little nigga in the high school, little fish in the shark tank, reminissin smoking on some dank, had the tre duce by my shoes, on the couch watchin the news, im realising, how to stack my paper no after school lesson on life, so im stressin, so i took to the street, nigga i was tryin to eat, every days a lesson so i dont have to read,
This is what i feel like music should be, could be but yet we have LIL Wayne.....SMH...

jay z is more successful because like he says he dumbs his music down so more people can understand it

Imagin if nas was in jay's position as the boss of the hip hop game.
Honestly it wouldn't happen 'cause nas is too real.
The white man is scared of a black man who won't follow their rules.
That's why jay is at the top 'cause he sold his soul to the devil for fortune.
Like nas said on One Mic "you need some soul searchin',the time is now."
