View Full Version : How would you rate Nas? Tuggers1986 09-10-2008, 12:35 PM Same as the Lil' Wayne thread. On a scale of 1-10 Kobe Bryant 09-10-2008, 12:41 PM 10 period. Can rap about anything without coming off as too preachy. From iced out to politicaled out (even though that's not a word). His voice and presence on a track is the best I've heard. What would you say his downfall is his flow? I disagree and it's subjective anyway. Regardless his flow on Illmatic and It Was Written is only rivaled by Snoop on Doggstyle. heat27 09-10-2008, 12:47 PM 10..... greatest rapper of all time IMO Tuggers1986 09-10-2008, 12:49 PM Yeah I agree. Easily the best to ever do it. Truth 09-10-2008, 01:19 PM I rate Nas a 10. But to me Pac was better than Nas... FrankJack 09-10-2008, 02:01 PM I think that Nas is a 9. He's more than solid at whatever he does on the microphone and he's one of the few mc's today who still has something to say that means anything. I think that one of his major drawbacks is that his actual flow and delivery is below many other artist in our genre. And since this is a genre where most fans look at "how" it's said rather than "what" is said, that does hurt him in the long run. In terms of his overall career, he's been pretty solid although the infamous Nastradamus album was a pretty big stumbling block. I think that he has classic albums in Illmatic, It Was Written, and The Lost Tapes. He also has SEVERAL classic tracks such as One Love, The World Is Yours, If I Ruled The World, I Gave You Power, Favor for a Favor, etc. (I'm going to name all of them). With his resume, I don't at all think that it's out of the question to assume that Nas can possibly the best emcee that our genre has produced thus far.

Sttuddahboy619 09-10-2008, 02:05 PM He's an ATG that's for sure! fasman 09-10-2008, 04:42 PM Nas gets a 10.... One of the best to ever grace the mic.... res 09-10-2008, 09:15 PM I think that Nas is a 9.

As an old school Hip hop head i really can't ignore a rapper's presence on the mic, that was a qualifiction for an emcee even before lyrics were.
