[gdiggedy]

@lilhardy9 , Alchemist is from Beverly Hills. But don't let where he's from fool you. He's put in all kinds of classic work with Mobb Deep, Dialated Peoples, Ghostface, Nas, Cormega, The Lox....etc. Look him up. One of the best doing it.

[freedfighter96]

These lyrics give me an orgasm.

[kano8506]

[barnchips]

Nas is the best period . 

[KoolManPhat]

@coolnewyork If real rappers got the attention they deserve, we would say they are sell outs.

[coolnewyork]

how could Jay z and ill wayne call them selfs the greatest rappers alive??

[beezibad]

@coolnewyork cuz they made themselve's mainstream and commercial, aint the greatest but its where the money and exposure is at. simply put, Nas keeps it real, and they don't.

[coolnewyork]

@beezibad its a shame real rappers dont get the attention they deserve.

[imisrael92]

@coolnewyork they on a whack mindset.

[GeeDaddy1875]

Another Nas tune well underrated

[Atypical82]

@vodouful...u right, but thats the hard part...cant do it without God.

[anatolianINVASION]

This song is about Breaking Bad's Gus "The Chicken Man" Fring

Los Pollos Hermanos baby you know the deal.

[TheMrMAXOUT]

maddest song! 

[BlackHawkPGA]

play it cool that's the old school rule man!

[nfiniteconsciousness]

We all know that Nas is the best his lyrics are so deep that we can all relate to, but it's a shame that most people don't want to listen the wisdom that Nas is spitting, On the real, Nas is always #1 in our hearts.

[MrGintaLatina]

[weezle93]

A Mastaminddd

[prysion]

No disrespect to anyone here but anyone saying Nas is best ever needs to do their research. The best ever to do it is RAKIM, Nas's musicial poetic genius wouldn't even be near the level it is if the blueprint wasn't laid out for him and the rest of the mc's by the GOD.

[shonha1]

@prysion Yeah I totally agree with the blueprint part of your comment, Ra did invent scientific rhyming as well as the cadence most mcs now use, he was the bridge from that Meli Mel, Kurtis Blow era to the flows of today nd that is undeniable, but at times the student does surpass the teacher nd that's the case with Ra nd Nas, as they say the proof is in the pudding, just check the catalogs

[DaGunnersRvP]

GZA is better but NaS is top 5 dead or alive.

[infamoustalent]

One of z most creative and influential jus like Big and Pac

[nyse41685]

@Azza297 it means make sure your money str8 before you start makin moves

A-L-C !!

[Vodouful]

Grown man shit right here

[ninehundredhiphop]

@Azza297 ones means money. basicaly he's saying before you go to war get your money right

[jmz1127]

this pumps through your vains this dude is gifted he tells stories in rhyme form try it damn near impossible nas is the full package hard beats hard rhymes and highly respectable

[mattboy940]

nas is probs one of the best in the game im saying one because there are underground rappers who are good nas i would realy be expecting him to be one of the bests aswell cuz he was around in the golden era of rap wich is the 90s and stop argueing who better between pac and nas im a pac and nas fan all we gotta do is support the real rapper pac biggie big l big pun guru nas rakim eazy e nwa outlawz old school snoop and any other real rappers

[Rustyftme]

2pac is nothing compared to nas

[ninehundredhiphop]

@Rustyftme nah my dude pac has nas beat in every catagory. the thing is nas is the last real poet in the mainstream.

[shonha1]

@ninehundredhiphop You buggin homie the only area Pac stands out more is that he did great interviews nd was a great soundbite, while Nas just doesn't seem comfortable in those situations, other than that Pac ain't seein sun on the mic, nas is a better lyricist, better poet, better storyteller, it was equal when it came to scope, sure Pac emotes more, but that was his personality , Nas is more laid back cuz that's his personality, nevertheless he always gets his point across in his music

[ninehundredhiphop]

@shonha1 put it like this...90s nas vs 90s pac is no match. nas is legendary NOW but he was just up and comming when pac had an entire career behind him.

i disagree with every catagory you mentioned pac literally dropped classic after classic which is something i cant say for nas.

[shonha1]

@ninehundredhiphop U got it twisted son, most people think 90s Nas was the illest part of his career, like I said b4 Nas didn't sneek up on HipHop, he was expected to be great, the 2nd comming of Rakim, who at that time was the undisputed King, back then nobody not even Pac fans would put him in the same class as Nas, Pac being the goat only started after he died, a true Tupac fan nd that's a fan who was down b4 96, never reffers to him as the goat, but as their favorite, big difference,

[ninehundredhiphop]

@shonha1 your memory is off homie..first of all im a true pac fan and ive NEVER thought anybody was better than him, but thats my opinion.youre not making any sense because you cant possibly know how millions of pac fans felt before he died,shit sounds retarded. bottom line is this, there is not one nas album better than a pac album, but nas has dropped some truly creative songs.

there can never be a true GOAT, only legends.and since you brought up the godMC nas not fuckin with Rakim either.

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ninehundredhiphop

2pac's albums are overrated. he has 2 good albums while he's alive(me against the world, and 7 day theory).

Rakim is a great MC, but he usually only raps about rapping and gets boring. but he's lyrically over nas. both better MCs than tupac.

[ninehundredhiphop]

@RelaxednCaIm realy...All eyez on me, Stricty 4 My Niggaz, 2pacalypse Now,Thug Life. classic music right there. either you dont like pac(which is fine) or youve never listened to these albums.

[RelaxednCaIm]

@ninehundredhiphop

all those albums are overrated, especially al eyes on me. me against the world and 7 day theory are good.

[ninehundredhiphop]

@RelaxednCaIm ovverated how? all eyez on me was good front to back. you have to bring a valid argument like some songs had wack lyrics or production was inconsistant. if you didnt like those albums personaly then say that, but dont deny the classic material each of them contained. when i think of something ovverated i think of mediocre material being hailed as greatness...that isnt the case with pac.

[ninehundredhiphop]

@RelaxednCaIm whats a 2pac production sound? if anything 2pac albums have had vastly diffferent sounds.maybe you heard songs here and there, but i listen to these albums on a regular basis since i drive alot. nothing glossy about all eyez on me it had various prduction styles(ambitionz,trading war stories,shorty wanna be,mind made up).before i replied i had to listen to Me against the world again. shit is the furthest from generic.very melodic beats and poetic rhymes seriously nothing like it.

[shonha1]

@ninehundredhiphop "there is not 1 Nas album better than a Pac album", c'mon son, u just lost all credibility wit that 1, I could tell from some of the stuff u wrote that u have no clue what your talkin about, u weren't there admit it, u became a fan after Pac died didn't u? Pac sold 75mil. albums check how much was due to the BIG BEEF, nd how many was posthumous, like i said b4, fans who were down b4 he died will usually tell u he is their favorite mc rather than calling him the best Peace.

[ninehundredhiphop]

@shonha1 most ppl i know grew up on pac so thats what we lean towards. if i had to go off memory then id say i didnt start listening to nas till it was written then i copped illmatic and ive been a fan ever since. but i was listening to pac first and i can honsetly say ive ever liked another mc better. now thats my opinion. as for facts nas's album catalog isnt better than pac's. Nas is at his best NOW. Nigger and Distant Relatives are his most creative albums yet..

[shonha1]

@ninehundredhiphop I agree with u that Nas is better now in that he's matured nd at the same time kept his gift of lyricism, but I don't think u own Illamtic, IWW, I Am, Stillmatic, God's Son, Lost Tapes (wasn't even a studio Lp nd it's better than most peoples whole catalog) HHID, I didn't list Nastradamus b/c even though it's considered Nas worst Lp, it's 1 of my favs, matter of fact I bump it more than Illmatic, as for their catalogs, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

[ninehundredhiphop]

@shonha1 whoa homie..there you go with those assumptions. I OWN EVERY SINGLE NAS ALBUM. i got a 12 disc cd changer in my car and i swear 4 slots got nas.street's disciple(still a good album) was nas weakest in my opinion but i still play that "these are our heroes" just for laughs i dont count greatest hits or "unreleased" like lost tapes. but if you go there than pac is unmatched in that area also. i'll leave it at agree to disagree like you said ...respect my dude

[alumni00009]

@ryanthomasbarnes nobody was fuckin with '90s Nas

[337STR33TKING]

CHECK OUT ZRO... WITHIN MYSELF... THIS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS I NEVER KNEW NAS KILLED THIS BEAT FIRST...

[jemalboy]

[quinccy]

Mastermind That's My Nickname..

[gdiggedy]

illness!! Nas needs to hollar at Alchemist more often.

[plavljanin00]

Come on say it loud yes he is best raper ever no doubt...

[ryanthomasbarnes]

he is definetly the best rapper ever he talks about hard times far more better than 2pac.

[hiphophasgonelowkey]

@ryanthomasbarnes you trippin

[BASTARDUS1MAXIMUS]

@ryanthomasbarnes 2pac is the greatest rapper that ever lived. However Nas can really make his point heard. Honestly Nas is a lot better than any of the new mainstream rappers (If anyone can call them rappers, they're more like teeny-boppers) like Soulja Boy, Drake or Lil Wayne.

[ryanthomasbarnes]

@BASTARDUS1MAXIMUS That's true I'm just trying to describe how good he is

[millionaire99i]

one of my favorite songs ...he is one of the best rappers alive

[LEAHCIM829]

Nas isn't just a rapper...he's a lyrical poet in a league of his own. I'd like to call him the Michael Jackson of hip hop. Nas, you're a force to be reckon with. I love your style:)

[chychy1]

nas is a mastermind

[chillback00]

i knew/they killed hoes too/like rae carruth/they use to spray troops/now they managing groups....my favorite line
