Nas IS everything a rapper should be. Illmatic and It Was Written are classic must owns for sure, and while some of his later stuff wasnt on par with those, I really havent been legitimately disappointed in Nas ever. I coulda done without that Oochie Wally shit though, not gonna lie, haha.
Nas is fuckin amazing. im not as into hip hop as most people here, but for me Nas is my favorite rapper, ahead of dudes such as biggie, pac, jay z, etc. Illmatic is really an amazing album, probably my 2nd favorite hip hop album ever, next to 36 chambers. also, Nas blazes so much haha, he started blazing when he was 9 and he always looks so faded.
Please, please, please tell me you're joking, if you think Nas sucks, you may just have the worst taste in music Ever.
Biggie then Nas for me. But ya'll know the world is yours. And he rips Jazzy apart on Ether. I'd say one mic is probably my favorite though. But my n**** Biggie's gotta itchy one grip..one in the chamber thirty-two in the clip. Gimme the Loot is probably my favorite rap song ever. So raw.
