im doing English in college and i have to analyse poems from the war and decode the whole thing. Learning that sort of poetry really makes you appreciate Nas, his english and poetry techniques are out of this world
just smooth nas, his flow is so smooth and his lyrics are amazing, resulting in him being the GOAT, even though eminem is my favorite becuz of his style, but i know he isn't the best rapper probly top 10 tho!

everyone says if biggie and pac were still alive lil wayne would be flipping burgers. They are two of the best but nas is still alive! if more people still paid attention to him lil wayne would be
Best rapper alive is the best rapper ever NAS . and please don't bring eminem into this . sure he's made great music but how many shit songs has the guy made ? akes like 2 great ones then 8 shit ones
If you are here listening to Book of rhymes then you have great music taste, and i would appreciate your opinion on my 2 songs in my channel. One love
i dont think theres a "Best Rapper Alive" because while one person thinks Nas is the best or Eminem, or Jay-Z or whoever, someone else thinks they suck. lyrical talent is something you can compare but other than that its all personal taste. but Nas is straight ill
@MrYahtzee93 How dare you put Jay-Z on that list. Jay-Z isn't talented the emcees whose styles he stole from are talented.
Jay-Z is responsible for the deaths of Tupac and B.I.G. Him and P-diddy wanted the spotlight. Jay-Z stole his flow from Jaz AKA The Jaz AKA Jaz-O. Jay-Z is a bitch
@Themilkman666 your gettin my words twisted. i never claimed jay was the best. he might be in someone elses opinion but im just saying who are we to tell someone who they can and cant listen to. i really hate lil wayne, but i dont tell people they cant listen to him. and i think saying that Jay-Z murdered biggie and pac might be far fetched. diddy sure i can see that in some sense but not jay. he wasnt big enough back then to have that kind of pull with people
@MrYahtzee93 P-diddy was the mastermind. Jay and P-diddy just walked by Tupac when he got shot the first time with grins on their faces. That's Tupac's words not mine. Diddy wasn't big back then either, that's why they killed off the talent
@Themilkman666 i still think thats a bit out of wack to say that. im not even sure Jay was there when pac got shot but then again i never looked into it. but still. my original comment was about peoples personal opinions and shit. just because you dont like Jay-Z doesnt mean people wont listen to him. its just human nature to do what we want.
@1992lance without question, Guru was cold with all due respect hes a legend in hip hop in his own rite, but Rakim is one of the top lyricists period, easily top 3 of all time, he was double rhyming before anyone else and is certainly a better MC , no quesiton. Rakim made every one else have to step up their game back in 87 like eminem did in 96
NaS!!! Where is the Life Is Good album? We are waiting for you to drop your 4th classic man.
Also people talk too much about the Jay-Z beef and they don't think about the poetry you make. We need your poetry again in the mainstream to let kids like myself and others think. We don't always need to party time to get serious. Throw some lyrics on em NaS!!!
this some real talk yall back during the nas and jay-z beef i had a click of niggaz it was 6 of us 4 of us my niggaz rode wit jigga during the beef my other potna was more a dipset nigga and i rode wit nas anyway my potna nem dey aint hate nas or nun they jus had so much love for the roc but dem niggaz was sittn in my living room one day i had dis playing nd 2 of my partnas converted to nas after listening to this and thats real talk youtube!
THIS TAKES ME WAAAAAAAAAAAYY BACK.I think Alchemist is slept-on as a BEat-maker.He's one of the best.His manic-depressive synths are craaaazy.I cant BElieve people still dont give him his due. NAS went hard on this track.The concept:Losing his book of rhymes and finding it again and trying to fit on the BEat on the spot!!! The sh%t was sick.Even poking fun at himself.Great!
i feel like eminem is the best, but nas is right there with him, and i guess it depends what mood im in cuz sometimes i say nas is the best, but you cant deny it, he is one of the best of all time, and i would never get mad if you said he was THE best ever, cuz u can certainly argue for it...he is a lyrical genius and has always been so smooth!
@wheela25 I really wanted to tell you Eminem is clearly worse but it really isn't THAT clear. I think Nas is all around better lyricist better their contentis very different. If it's a rhyme about brutally murdering someone then Eminem is easily gonna win, and his other rhyming abilities is pretty good. Eminem belongs in the same class as Nas, Rakim, Dre, KRS, Pac, Biggie, Big L, D.I.T.C, Pharcyde all the real 90's shit.

muppets the lot of you couldnt give a piss about your opinions, stay of the keyboards and listen to the tune or go buy a cd and shove it up your dumb asses a little knowledge is dangerous and spreading it wont get you famous you aint spitting verses your just spraying from your anus
why would you think that god son would abandon us in this mess! fool stay on point and fast more.....when you start to relieze you are years past your own birth age you will know you are a child of the the Enlil not a apperation
@pytlove123 Nah, I've listened to Justin Beiber before and let me tell you that his music isn't as good as Nas. I'd much rather listen to Nas than Justin. It's just a matter of taste. I bought Nas records and most of his stuff was pretty good...like God's Son and Street's Disciple including I Am...I'm just wondering if you've ever purchased a record from the store and listened to it in full. I mean, you sound ignorant telling me that it's pathetic to have an opinion.
@TheSeven45 pac wasnt overated he was just the 1st hip hop artist that said real shit in interviewsand helped ppl out and started trends that still lives today in hip hop thats why ppl think hes better than every1 but lyrical no rapper will probaly ever touch nas i think nas is better but when u die ppl seem 2 respect u more lyk i bet if jayz died a lil bit after big l died ppl wudda been on sum tupac.>jayz>biggie>big l>nas or sum shit but now dey done seen nas body jay# ijs
@TheSeven45 So 2 songs beat all of Tupac's albums? hahahaha. And don't get me started about Big L, was alright but no Tupac, he was by far the most boring. No rapper alive is entertaining/powerful as Pac, most of these "real rappers" are extremely boring. Plus in my opinion "Me And My Girlfriend" is a little better than "I gave You Power".
i don't like nas because listening to his music in cali got me hurt. i mean, come on, at that age i didn't know what to expect from people who listened to cali music. i mean, come on, you can't expect that all people will understand all types of music.
@nemzz9st he's aight but nothing like Pac. Tupac is so truthful. Listen to trapped, changes, dear mama and so many tears. MAC just spits about weed and money like the rest of em.
@nemzz9st bang yourself in the forehead. Pac's the only him. tupac transcended passion on tracks, very few in rap have accomplished this. Think before you yap off
there is no best rapper there artist who express them self's through there lyrics and as long as poeple have opinions there will never be a best rapper just self expression by artist there no point in comparing wayne and nas or anyone else u say nas the best someone says waynes the best u get into a pointless arguement and stress your self over suttin even the artist probly dont even care bout in the end...smh
I hate coming to videos with great music & having to see long arguments in the comments section. Mission accomplished to the guy hating on Nas because nobody is even talking about the music anymore.
Your fuckin retarded if you say Wayne has passed up Nas. Just wow. People choose bullshit catchy tunes nowadays. Not true lyricism and meaning. Fuck Ross' fat ass and Wayne's dumbass. He acts like he doesn't know where he is half the time.
@TrueHopTunes Dude are u for real? Who cares if Nas did a song with Rick Ross, he's still a rapping god. The reason Nas is not on the radio is because people have forgotten about real talent. Not only are u dissing nas ur also mentioning lil wayne who is not even worth bullshit...
Im not so sure bout Nas anymore. He did a song wit a infamous drug kingpin turned rapper, Rick Ross. They did a song called Usual Suspects. Even Jay-z is still good. ppl aint checkin for Nas no more
Nas time has past. Ross, weezy etc has past him up and are alot more talented then him now. Obviously they are cuz they all on the radio and he not. Plus all the fans listen 2 wayne so obv. he's better then Nas.
why would so many ppl listen 2 them if Nas was better? cuz he's not
@TrueHopTunes .... so you base skills based on who most people listen to? Therefore Bieber and Miley Cyrus are the best pop artists? Nas is one of the top lyricists ever, point blank period.
@TrueHopTunes Ross weezy etc. are on the radio because they listen to and do whatever their corporate labels ask of them...not hatin' on them because that's what u gotta do to make money...just because Nas doesn't have a teenybopper hit on the radio now doesn't mean he's not as good as ross (who was a correctional officer I believe, not a drug kingpin) or weezy...if you just listen to lyrics, which is all you should be doing to assess what rapper is the best, Nas wins hands down.
@TrueHopTunes More people listen to Wayne and rick ross because they're signed by major labels. They rap about fucking bitches, spending money, and fast cars. That's talent? That's a joke. Compare any underground song to a mainstream song. You'll see what i mean haha.
@TrueHopTunes Thats not the real drug kingpin rick ross.dont bring up gay-z.weezy sounds like a 5 year old boy.n their only on da radio becuz they rap bout hoes n money.
@TrueHopTunes you stupid cock its cus they make pop tunes which are more appealing to 15 year old white girls who buy their music... its cus of them they sell so many albums and then they think their the 'best rappers'.. but if your a true hip hop head.. you know talent when you see it son.. Nas is the best rapper to ever do it.. BAR NONE!
@nastynaheemnas everybody claiming one person is the best is just as ignorant as these foolish heads talking about modern rap, there is no best in anything especially not when it comes to an art
@nastynaheemnas I am with you on this, these so-called best rappers think that because they shifted the market to these kids therfore they are great. Nas is forever.
@TrueHopTunes woooow dude, really? nas is a hip-hop god, wayne obviously has alot of talent, but ross and the rest of them are complete garbage! but wayne aint touchin nas in terms of the quality of his music, there is a diffrence between popular rite now and legendary forever, and radio has nothing to do with talent, i mean come on dude, they actually play waka on the radio! they will play any garbage on the radio nowadays....
@TrueHopTunes You are actually retarded. I thought you were joking at first with your bullshit about Nas not being as good as wayne or ross cos he's not on the radio. Go listen to them, please. you don't deserve Nas.
@TrueHopTunes only reason why all them lames on the radio is cus all the true hip hop heads stopped listening to the radio. and all the people who fall for them catchy hooks and beats tuned into it. fuck the radio and what the band wagon likes. i fuck wit nas and some lil wayne songs. but in my mind lil wayne is wack and false claimin, but thats prolly to complex for u to understand.fuck outta here sayin no one check fo nas,then why u here? comments under this from hours ago..ignorance.

On September 14th we gotta all watch "Nas Is Like" in honor of Nasir Olu Dara Jones' Birthday, We gotta give him the respect he needs and give him the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what these fake ass motherfuckas (any rapper on the radio) don't deserve to have
Copy and paste to all Nas' videos and all music videos let's get this shit noticed.

Tupac would of killed this beat. Every time I hear this song I just think he was made for this track. Nas as usual did his thing. Top 5 dead or alive. The concept for this song is brilliant. On another note I do beats. Stop by my channel and check em out. All feedback and comments are appreciated. One.

@pytlove123 Nah, I've listened to Justin Beiber before and let me tell you that his music isn't as good as Nas. I'd much rather listen to Nas than Justin. It's just a matter of taste. I bought Nas records and most of his stuff was pretty good...like God's Son and Street's Disciple including I Am...I'm just wondering if you've ever purchased a record from the store and listened to it in full. I mean, you sound ignorant telling me that it's pathetic to have an opinion.

@TheSeven45 So 2 songs beat all of Tupac's albums? hahahaha. And don't get me started about Big L, was alright but no Tupac, he was by far the most boring. No rapper alive is entertaining/powerful as Pac, most of these "real rappers" are extremely boring. Plus in my opinion "Me And My Girlfriend" is a little better than "I gave You Power".

Im not so sure bout Nas anymore. He did a song wit a infamous drug kingpin turned rapper, Rick Ross. They did a song called Usual Suspects. Even Jay-z is still good. ppl aint checkin for Nas no more
Nas time has past. Ross, weezy etc has past him up and are alot more talented then him now. Obviously they are cuz they all on the radio and he not. Plus all the fans listen 2 wayne so obv. he's better then Nas.
why would so many ppl listen 2 them if Nas was better? cuz he's not

@TrueHopTunes Ross weezy etc. are on the radio because they listen to and do whatever their corporate labels ask of them...not hatin' on them because that's what u gotta do to make money...just because Nas doesn't have a teenybopper hit on the radio now doesn't mean he's not as good as ross (who was a correctional officer I believe, not a drug kingpin) or weezy...if you just listen to lyrics, which is all you should be doing to assess what rapper is the best, Nas wins hands down.
inchulk 6 months ago
@TrueHopTunes More people listen to Wayne and rick ross because they're signed by major labels. They rap about fucking bitches, spending money, and fast cars. That's talent? That's a joke. Compare any underground song to a mainstream song. You'll see what i mean haha.

@TrueHopTunes you stupid cock its cus they make pop tunes which are more appealing to 15 year old white girls who buy their music... its cus of them they sell so many albums and then they think their the 'best rappers'.. but if your a true hip hop head.. you know talent when you see it son.. Nas is the best rapper to ever do it.. BAR NONE!
