you know what i think is just pathetic and gay? when niggas speculate what the fuck pac would say. you dont know shit about a dead mans perspective and talkin shit will get your neckbone disconnected
only the thing i can find different between old Nas and new Nas, is that his beats now adays are a little bit more up lifting, but for the most part, the topics haven't changed.
@ePexion Are you kidding me? The way he spits is completely different. He's garbage to me right now. A lot of the old school artists are garbage to me and that's probably due to my taste in lyrical content. As these artists make more money they stay off the streets and they become more commercialized. The only old school artist that really stands out to me and has notoriety as long as Nas is Tragedy. His lyrics are still raw. Nas is all positive and shit that its boring. Fuck the damn beats.
@BobbyDigital314 Nas' lyrical creativity isn't what it was when he was in his prime. But his subject matter is more well thought out than most of the crap mainstream rappers spew these days. Illmatic=fantastic, but you can't ride one accomplishment for the rest of your life and Nas has constantly re-invented himself, particularly since the release of Stillmatic. And 'All positive', thats bogus the album if anything shows how grim the global situation is and provides a ray of hope for listeners.
I'm a new 16 year old rapper! Check out my version of QUEENS GET THE MONEY on MY CHANNEL, I speak about real stuff like Nas, Fuck Lil Wayne! SUSCRIBE :)
"they got nigeria, and niger, tow different countries somehow niger turned to "nigger", and things got ugly"
actually nas is half right. many scholars trace the term "nigger" to the word "niger" which means the color black in latin. when the first african slaves were brought to virginia in 1619, the were referred to as "negars" also derived from "niger"
however there is no documentation showing a direct correlation between the term "nigger" and the country of Niger
Nas is good, but yall forgettin shit "dis lil nigga name nas think he live like me talkin bout he left the hospital took five like me" If u thinkin he better then pac u need to listen to Against All Odds a.s.a.p. , oh and dont forget pac died at 25. In that year he died, Nas wasnt fuckin with pac
@sdjfjlk888 didnt the first line of "the message" take a strike at pac? i might be wrong though but Against All Odds tore him up i personally still like nas's lyrics tho my top 2 rappers for sure
Ha, Nas is a much more talented then Pac was. Their beef was bum shit, and in the end they both lost because of it. Neither of them really put out anything good, against all odds is a good song, but the Nas diss is weak.
@FatGreasyHomo1 i agree with you nas has a great flow and incredible rhyme, but who knows where pac would be if only he were alive, and that goes for BIG too. those 3 will always be the Gods of hip hop. they are all on the same level, luckily we still have one that can put out new music, thats why his raps just get better and better. But this is where real hip hop is Pac&Nas&Big.
but pac had a limited vocabulary and you heard many of the same rhymes in many songs. Nas is clever, has complex word structures, and his perspective is unique.
I feel like people hype Tupac too much. Yeah he was great, ahead of his time, the truth. But as far as an MC, Nas is the fuckin' king, who can deny that? I gave you Power Rewind Project Roach
how can u compare nas to pac.....they both spit the truth and when anybody spits the truth it all sounds good even if any of you guys spit the truth in a rap and it relates its good. rap is not dancing music for me it is music i can relate 2.
LIKE ON SOM REAL SHIT FK ALL YALL WHO IS REALLY SITTIN HERE SAYIN NAS IS BETTER THAN TUPAC WTF IS YALL THINK BETTER YET WTF KINDA DRUGS YALL ON....THEN YALL SAYIN HES THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE YOU HAV GOT 2 BE FKIN SHITIN ME EMINEM,T.I,LIL WAYNE,JAY Z,...GOT A FEW MORE BUT NOT GON NAME CAUSE I REALLY DNT FEEL LIKE ARGUING BOUT THIS BULL SHIT....NAS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE WTF GET THE FUCK OFF YOUTUBE WITH THAT BULL SHIT
@wendellwright no arguing intended everybody is entitled to their opinion but nas proved he was better than Hov he even admited it hisself on the bp2 or the black album wayne cant touch him bc hov better than him the only person u can be iffy about it em i think he will win some battles but now the war
@wendellwright it's cool if your feelin those POP stars, nd if Pac's ur fav mc that's also cool, but people that come to Nas videos want to hear that real shit, not music based off record sales/media marketing/media exposure, wendellwright from your name u sound very young nd that's the problem, most people who were Pac fans b4 he died r not on the internet screamin he was the best, b/c they remember the rap landscape b4 his death, it's the people that bcame fans post96 that ususally does that
i can agree with them nas is the best rapper alive. fuck cd sales that dont mean shit we want the realest. nas is the realest. Pac is my favorite honestly because i feel his rhymes that shit hits the heart sometimes. but nas kills tracks. hits the heart him and pac are so alike always on that real shit. Rip Pac but i wish he was here to throw down a track with nas.. em does go hard but is not on pac or nas level. but thats my take on this. i got respect for all. they made it
@MobiusX exactly thank u sum1 can say it i hate when they compare him to Biggie and or nas truthfully i think nas is the best rapper to live and then probally Big L if he still lived today i think he would be 1 of the only ppl dat cud mess wit nas on the same level
I here a lot of people comparing Nas to Pac. Two different animals with the same goal. Betterment for the people. So it dosn't matter who was better if you dont here and heed their message.
Nas my top 3 fav rappers and I still didnt give this cd a fair chance. this song and queens get the money have been amazing so far. what the fuck is wrong with me this sounds NASTY
Yes, he has been consistently good and most of his stuff is very good, but Illmatic is perfect in every single way and it's not very easy to top perfection.
yea wayne defenitley capatalized hip hop. with shit. when someone says "yea i listen to rap", you have to ask what kind now. i think jay-z fell off a few years ago, but wayne and jay-z shouldnt be in the same sentence.
@WayneRuinedRap yeah but if you look at Jay-Z and what he did at def jam and how people look to him for the direction of hip hop, he ruined that shit. He's the reason Lil Wayne raps the way he does, he emmulates Jay. Maybe I'm just prejudiced towards Jay cus I know how deep he is into all that devil worshipping shit. But he definitely has done NOTHING to advance hip hop in a positive direction. Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Rihanna? Where Budden, Method Man etc? On the shelf and dropped, hip hop dead
@DaProlifik1reaLyrics yea i see exactly what your saying. persoanlly, i wouldnt blame jayz but thats just a difference alot of people have. i really just cant stand wayne in any aspect. especially to what hes doin to his young upcomers in his label. jay-z i always thought had the potential to help hip hop out, but after hearing empire state of mind on the radio 100X a day, he truly fell off. i think we at least should take in regard what rap should be. and its def not wayne, or any of that cast.
@DaProlifik1reaLyrics thats my real problem. any one can make music how ever they want, but if they claim they are the kings and GOATS, to something they are truly terrible at, it offends everyone that knows, and doesnt know anything about hip hop. thats why its dying.
btw i just wanted an account name that was unique and caught eye. just havin fun with it
@WayneRuinedRap yeah but at the same time I think you gotta have a certain confidence to be an emcee of any kind. Alot of rappers say that shit, and people only get mad at Wayne. I'm not a big fan at all, there's a few songs that I like of his, some of his real shit, but as an artist myself I understand you gotta believe in yourself. But I feel you about your name, it ain't nothing serious, it was more about giving Jay due credit for ruining that shit than anything, it's all good homie. 1
@WayneRuinedRap correction, MAINSTREAM hip hop is dead, and Jay-Z killed it, not Wayne, Solja Boy, Lil Mama or anybody else people wanna blame. It's Jay-Z and, far as actual artists go atleast(cus alot of the blame obviously goes to record companies), pretty much solely Jay-Z. I'd much rather listen to Wayne than Jay for the record, atleast he made SOME songs I was feeling back in the day. I can't really hate on nobody for taking advantage of the climate, but I can blame who created it
@WayneRuinedRap wayne ust discovered a way to make insane amounts of money, hes notworried about punk kids who dontlike his music, he sells albums to girls, who cares hes still loaded . personally i hate him aswell but heis smart
i dont care that he makes music, its that he is making people look at him in some respect to hip hop.
yea wayne has paper, great. but look what the fuck hip hop is now. wen nas album lost to carter 3 for best album while back, it shut down real hip hop.
@WayneRuinedRap hahaha, dude, music never stops changing, itll never be the same, and soon lil wayne will switch his style again, i hate his music his voice is annoying but still, you can tell your a little punk becauseyour name is wayne ruined rap.
@aapeneters nah, I'm glad he did it, now everybody listens to the underground, a record deal is irrelevant. Took away all credibility from the mainstream. Shout out Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. Maybe I'm just prejudiced against devil worshippers that are way overrated, claim they the best rapper alive and provides us nothing but mental poison. How is he the best if Nas straight ethered him anyway? Cus he got money? Maybe Oprah should rap, she could be GOAT
Dont say that black people are never ingorant cause every race has people who are ignorant, especially toward each other. Im black and I know lots of black people who are ignorant as hell.
Listen, don't be stupid. I never said there aren't ignorant blacks. I just posted this for those who don't get what nas was talking about on 0:23 and 2:30.
nah gotta disagree. em is definitely real but relapse may have had 5 good songs and even encore only had like 4. em cant hold down a whole album like he use 2. nas still can after 15 years
Simple and plain Nas is quite possibly the best lyricist of All-Time/Tupac was the realest,some say tooo real and even gave his life to fight for the cause..bottomlime Nas and Pac fight for the same cause! Tupac was just more hands on about it.
@FatGreasyHomo1 what does that even mean though, realest? if you mean that he is who he portraits in the music in real life, then i dont know cause tupac was suppose to be a thug or something but on the other hand he was a ballet dancer, this is a fact.
@FatGreasyHomo1 pacs fans suck. try saying he overated all you get is fuck u im goona kill u. try saying nas is better you get nas woulnd be here without pac. but the truth is pacs overated and all his songs are repative i can go on forever. i tryed getten into pac but just coundnt
Nah most of yall are buggin.. First off, you are making shit wayyyy too epic, when black people say "nigga" they are not relating their "related cultural past" to each other, shit is just ingrained and ignorant now. Can say the same to the pathetic white dudes sayin' it. I agree white people shouldn't say it, but on the flip side how can you condone it for black people? Just dead it.
no u pathetic idiot.. bein real is talkin bout real shit..like the streetz, hustlin, and tellin ghetto storiez. 50 used to do that, he got too much money so all he started rappin bout was money money money... damn son u a dumbass
well listen man obviously you cant get a point across with out calling people names lol like it really hurts me or something lol i dont know what 50 albums or mixtapes you are listening to where he talks about money money money lol on every song you are very wrong period do your research lol SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE MAD HE MADE ALOT money would u like him more if his was broke or something i dont get your point
yeah and being real is being true to yourself and rapping about things what happening to you, and mean shit to you, getting a message across, speaking the truth, and not talking all that bullshit
actually it is about race.. black ppl started sayin nigga to make fun of nigger as a cultural thing.we say it to each other cus we got the same fucked up past and we can relate to it.its our history. before black ppl started sayin nigga nobody argued that it was racist but now everybody wants to jump on the bandwagon. why? if white or another race and ur not racist then why do u even want to use the word? if u know its controversial and ppl are offended the why do it?sum ppl are so disrespectful
Nah man, think about it this album is for real black people. Souljah boy appeals to da masses; all the teenie boppers, BET fans and all da white people dem. Do your thing Nas, one love... black people unite
PAC and NAS there both great rappers, but pac was very intelligent inside the rap game and outside the rap game. if u listen more to his lyrics u can find out on ur own. m. harris
pac got nas beat,i i think ya'll betta listen to dem lyrics lil bit closer and study pac a lil bit more nas is nice cant take dat away from him but all u gotta do is do ur homework on em' both and pacs mind was way too advanced 4 nas.
naw. pac was more universal, thats where he has nas beat. nas is far more intellectual. this nigga STUDIES. like really studies. he drops names i have to look up. Pac didnt do that for me. Nas tops Pac, not necessarily by record sales or universal appeal but by intellectual hip hop.
your wrong son. first you need to learn how to spell. wtf is conker? you mean conquer? second, hip hop isnt anarchy. hip hop brings people together. and i know you aint black lil white boy so dont go round sayin nigga. this song doesnt cater you you. im sorry.
anarchy is tru democracy....anarchism doesnt equate to division or even chaos ....it is democracy at its best contrary to our current system....a republic. so fall bak nigga....
i love pac he was one of the few real rappers but nas has got him beat by a long shot, its a shame well never know how far pac wouldve really taken it though
R u fuckin serious.!!!!!!!!!! I mean i guess somethings just dont die cuz that is fucked up 4real. Get a life man. How u gon say fuck all niggers and u listenin 2 Nas. Think about wut u say fuckhead!!!!!!!

It's Jay-Z and, far as actual artists go atleast(cus alot of the blame obviously goes to record companies), pretty much solely Jay-Z. I'd much rather listen to Wayne than Jay for the record, atleast he made SOME songs I was feeling back in the day. I can't really hate on nobody for taking advantage of the climate, but I can blame who created it

@WayneRuinedRap wayne ust discovered a way to make insane amounts of money, hes notworried about punk kids who dontlike his music, he sells albums to girls, who cares hes still loaded . personally i hate him aswell but heis smart
dgardner93 1 year ago
i hope you arnt refering me to punk kid.
i dont care that he makes music, its that he is making people look at him in some respect to hip hop.
yea wayne has paper, great. but look what the fuck hip hop is now. wen nas album lost to carter 3 for best album while back, it shut down real hip hop.

@WayneRuinedRap hahaha, dude, music never stops changing, itll never be the same, and soon lil wayne will switch his style again, i hate his music his voice is annoying but still, you can tell your a little punk becauseyour name is wayne ruined rap.

@aapeneters nah, I'm glad he did it, now everybody listens to the underground, a record deal is irrelevant. Took away all credibility from the mainstream. Shout out Rick Ross and Young Jeezy. Maybe I'm just prejudiced against devil worshippers that are way overrated, claim they the best rapper alive and provides us nothing but mental poison. How is he the best if Nas straight ethered him anyway? Cus he got money? Maybe Oprah should rap, she could be GOAT

Simple and plain Nas is quite possibly the best lyricist of All-Time/Tupac was the realest,some say tooo real and even gave his life to fight for the cause..bottomlime Nas and Pac fight for the same cause! Tupac was just more hands on about it.

Nah most of yall are buggin.. First off, you are making shit wayyyy too epic, when black people say "nigga" they are not relating their "related cultural past" to each other, shit is just ingrained and ignorant now. Can say the same to the pathetic white dudes sayin' it. I agree white people shouldn't say it, but on the flip side how can you condone it for black people? Just dead it.
Respect

actually it is about race.. black ppl started sayin nigga to make fun of nigger as a cultural thing.we say it to each other cus we got the same fucked up past and we can relate to it.its our history. before black ppl started sayin nigga nobody argued that it was racist but now everybody wants to jump on the bandwagon. why? if white or another race and ur not racist then why do u even want to use the word? if u know its controversial and ppl are offended the why do it?sum ppl are so disrespectful

naw. pac was more universal, thats where he has nas beat. nas is far more intellectual. this nigga STUDIES. like really studies. he drops names i have to look up. Pac didnt do that for me. Nas tops Pac, not necessarily by record sales or universal appeal but by intellectual hip hop.
