I'm from Chicago and I understand 98.7 percent of everything he's talking about/spits G
Furthermore thats not intelligent to limit your topics to just NY relevancy, you want to appeal to the masses and contrary to what you may believe NYC is not the masses... And don't try to take it ther and turn this into a NYC> ___ thing because it not about that. I know how y'all play

To me, Fab has acheived most of his potential. Dude has lines, but his flow is so forced to me. It seems like he tries to hard to be witty.
Jada could have been a legend, his skill set is up there with damn near anyone. He just put his best work on mixtapes and features, and dropped mediocre albums. His production was aiight, but nothing spectacular. He never had the mega crossover hit, either.

They're both good ( sometimes great) rappers, not everybody can be an all time great.

pssh NT opinions suck...
since when does SOUNDING da same in your raps = speaking on da same topics/touching on da same content?
do ya listen to music or ya just skim thru it?
if Nas would've stayed in his Esco mode he would've been da greatest rapper of all time, instead of people always trying to defend him his legacy past it was written.

we already know illmatic nas is GOAT, Esco Nas is Illmatic Nas with more money and more swag which in my opinion is >>>>>>* any other version of Nas.
i can't stand da complacent "eh w/e i know im dope..imma a album every 2-3 years and if da kids like it w/e" Nas....son lacks a serious backbone.

So, the consnsus pretty much is that their both underachievers. As far as their talents, both dudes are sick on the mic to me. I think jada has one of the purest rap voice and personas ever. Fab is too stoic for me but, it seems to work for him. Both guys can go to toe to toe with ANY emcee IMO. But, I do wish they wouldve capitalized on their commerical success and made better albums. Fab's debut and 'kiss debut are both semi-classics in my book.

You said Esco, which in general people really didn't grasp/latch on to like that at first and he got a lot of flack from that. As far as spitting goes that was the 2nd weakest era of him (only to Nastradamus) He was a much better/more rounded artist in those other periods that I pointed to. If he would been able to skip those two persona's and transferred directly from Illmatic to Stillmatic and stayed in that lane on that page he would be considered Hands Down to be the greatest. While I still enjoyed the music, that persona hurt his legacy more than it helped him is what I was pointing out.

it was written Nas is arguably Rap fans and rappers alike favorite persona...his peers STILL call him esco is a testament da impact he had on da game when he Donned
that swag. and im confused how people didn't "latch on" when to this day its his greatest selling album in his catalog.
i say he would've stuck wit that (which techincally he did untill I am....was bootlegged) son would've been da man undisputed.
but back to jada...son got a LENGTHY career, and we can all thank his all purpose flow for that longevity.

They're about equal no lie.
His peer's call him that because he called himself that ala Jay Z calling himself "Hova" (which I personally have never been able to honor) or Jada calling himself "Montega" or Joe callin himself "CracK" "Loso" "Drizzy" "Weezy" "Bigavelli" "Frank White" "The Ghost" etc... Do you see where I'm going with this?
As far as it being his best selling album it also featured his best selling and most popular song featuring someone else who was on fire at the time "If I Ruled The World" with Lauryn so come on G. People bought it and were felt some type of way about it at first because it was a drastic change from Illmatic. It took people a minute to warm up to his new lane, people didn't just jump on it as soon as it hit the streets G. I'm not one of these youngin's I remember 96 vividly everything from the Penny 1's to this lp.
Yea he was swagged out crazy but that wasn't his lane as we've all seen, thats not when he's at his best, even he knew that. It Was Written produced some of my favorite records of all time (IIRTW, Black Girl Lost, The Message, I Gave You Power) but its not %*!#%%$ with Stillmatic, Untitled, and definitely not the Hiphop bible. Hell depending on how I feel about on a certain day I may just prefer to hear GodSon to it. Its still a Classic in my eyes but it wasn't the Nas that made him NAS my G.
Now y'all can carry on about Jada and Fab
