Those were the top rappers from those eras, rap never had just one guy running the game, but nas was never up there

Not to mention NaS is younger than.
2Pac. BIG. Jay. X. Em. Snoop. Busta.
Just to put things in perspective. NaS is a year older than Nelly. And 2 years older than 50. He came out 5 years before Nelly, 9 years before 50 and has remained culturally relevant about 8-10 years longer thanks than both. They ran the rap game, then tore BOTH ACLs. Neither has had a #1 album in 10 years. In that time AWFUL career NaS has had 3, how's that possible?
But I'm done entertaining you.
Hopefully you learned somethin.
Back to the topic at hand.
that "King Kunta" video bout to be epic. Hopefully there's mad cameos, I wanna see the ENTIRE west come thru and show King Kendrick love.

Crtically acclaimed #1 album.
Just another day in the life of an irrelevant rapper.

No way in hell is IWW better than Stillmatic, just off the fact that everybody had written Nas off at that point and he came back swinging with that classic.

You called it a flop. I said it went platinum. It wasn't a flop.
I liked a few songs but I don't even consider it a NaS album. Think he was on like 3-4 songs. The label threw that **** together and made it happen just for a quick buck.
Vol 1 had some of Jay's best work but then it had some of his worst work.

They named the Harvard School Of Hip Hop after an irrelevant rapper with an average career.
those people at Harvard are remedial.
Holla at me when Nasir Jones has something at a community college.

Did you know that if it wasn't for ILLMATIC, tons of artist wouldn't be who they are today? Lots of hip hop artist would've never put out what they put out? Jay even said, "Nas came out with Illmatic, had that **** on bootleg, thought we was all dead." JCole favorite artist is NaS. 2Pac saw NaS as a threat one time when they "beefed". If you believed that Nas didn't run ish, at least know that NaS birthed a lot of creativity into hip hop projects.
Just heard "King Kunta" on the radio home from work, got me geeked. I hope these kids listening to the radio get the education they need from KDot

Ok nas was influential, but he was never considered a upper echelon artist, they respected him as a mc, but he wasnt putting out hits like that
& lets not forget that simp track he made with ginuwine as an attempt to gain female followers

Yes I've read the review and while she did say it was one of the best albums she ever heard, she didn't say it was the greatest immediately and she didn't downplay other albums or say it was better then this or that album. Nas is my favorite mc and Illmatic is my favorite album and I'm well aware of all the acclaim it received when it released but it took a lil time for people to declare it as arguably as the great hip hop album of all time. I just think calling an album not even 2 weeks old yet arguably the greatest album ever is a lil too soon to me but hey, to each their own. I just think To Pimp a Butterfly is it's own thing and should be listened as so, just let it really soak in and see how you feel about it years later before making such bold statements. I know you didn't make any of these bold statements but I'm just addressing the thread in general at this point.
Don't like the album? Cool, I can understand that but standard lyricism? Come on man, you can't really believe that?
I agree with all of this completely.
Dude is obviously trolling with the Nas had an average career thing but lets get this thread back to what it should be about, Kendrick and TPAB.
I heard King Kunta on the radio like 3 times last night too and everybody in the whip was vibing
I'm in LA though so I don't know if its getting burn like that elsewhere but hopefully it is

I finally gave the album a full spin, no interruptions.
I realized that the album was center around the quote "I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence...". As the tracks progressed he continued to add to the statement.
I need another spin to bring everything home.
