    since u want to ? on elzhi im about to post verse
    that is gonna shut this thread down
    from elzhi


    Now let me show you how I blaze it
    Leave ? in amazement on ways spit
    ? trickier than a maze get
    Everything I drop raw cut you like a chop saw
    You should stop, like when a cop draw before he drop y'all
    You get your fort crushed actin out of sorts
    You don't support us? You must snort dust ridin' the short bus
    Cause I'm an animal, scratch that I'm the manual
    Pull out, swinging the metal like mechanical
    Movement, soon as the groove hits I prove that you need improvements
    Since I'm so smooth with whatever I maneuve' with
    And I ain't braggin' player you get your spot got
    What I jot is hotter than the dragon slayer
    It's only right you should show me light
    Because the flow be tight, I wouldn't slip on a snowy night
    I vex, now who should I bomb next?
    New schooler or an old timer like a timex
    Simple minded with a complex
    My clear disrupt the cameras
    I keep promoters scratchin' their name out and tearin' up they banners
    When I write cigars flare again
    The bars buried in the song is bout as strong as barbarians
    Far scarier than the Omen
    Chicks give me dome in my home while I'm sittin' spittin' poems watchin'
    Conan
    This for my real heads and paragraph addicts
    I ? the air time impairin' the asthmatic
    It's like that you know it's like that
    I'm who you internet haters want to strike at
    Don't make me show up to your porch with a spiked bat
    And leave your front and rear tires on your bike flat
    Defeat and ? , delete your skill you think you sweet until
    I cut you off and leave you in the cold like you haven't paid your heating bill
    ? your squad and your street appeal
    Eat a deal's nit click fleet until my kicks is in your leader's grill
    For real

    if u think there is a verse nas got out right in 2011
    that could ? with this ? your
    on ? .

    sad thing is that this is really fun for you ... youre actually enjoying this LOL

    Cosign this thread. Nas is by far the best rapper out now and imo he's the GOAT.

    Cosign. He's the GOAT in my opinion and can still rap circles around almost every other rapper when he's on his game.

    Common
    Pharoahe Monch
    Black Thought
    Talib
    Mos

    All better than Nas right now in 2011 unless I hear something earth changing from the Life is Good Album. Nasty was a dope record. Lets not act like it isnt a weaker version of Made You Look tho.

    Lupe & Jay Electronica are 1 great album away from catching up with the list above.

    Rap is a competition and it isn't dead. Theres no #1 spot reserved for Nas for life.

    Lol @ Common, his last album was UMC, which was terrible by his standards. I'm a big fan of Common, but no. Ghetto Dreams was dope but Nas > Common on that song.

    Pharoahe Monch last album was that We Are Renegades ? . Album was dope, but if anything he lost a step or two. His bars weren't as sharp as they usually are aka he can't ? with Nas on any level.

    Black Thought last ? was How I Got Over. Album was near classic, and he had the arguable verse of the year with Dear ? 2.0, but besides that song, Again, and The Fire nothing really matched up with Distant Relatives Nas or the new ? he's released.

    Talib is wack in comparison to everyone you named, and can't even ride a beat.

    Mos Def new ? was Ecstatic. That whole album was fire imo. This is the only rapper that's arguably ? with Nas in 2011. Only thing is Nas puts 100% of his effort into his music, Mos drops new ? every few years or so (if that). He also seems to be overly concerned with acting (he got that new acting role with Dexter). I would give it to Nas by default because he has more material and he'll continue to drop new music aka music is his number 1 priority.

    Lupe fell way off. L.A.S.E.R.S was beyond trash.

    Jay Electronica is a Nas protege. Nuff said.

    They can't pass Nas as one of the greatest off 1 album, but they can certainly be "nicer" on the mic.

    I'd rather hear a new Jay Electronica or Lupe verse than a new Nas verse. Doesnt take away from his legacy just means they're fresher and hungrier.

    The only cats nicer than Nas right now i would say are Kendrick Lamar, Monch and maybe at a stretch Lupe. The rest on that list are not worthy of the plaudits Jay Electronica still needs to drop an album his work-rate is abysmal and i can't be going back to verses he spat in 08 if the argument is who is nicer right now?. Also i feel that Black Thought is on around the same level as Nas but certainly hasn't surpassed him.

    Common = Nas on Ghetto Dreams

    Monch has never spit a wack verse and always brings a crazy flow with him. Monch flow >> Nas

    Black Thought ripped the Money Making Jam Boyz tape. Catch up.

    To each his own about Talib. Personally, I think he's nice with it.

    Mos comes off as good or better than Nas with minimal effort check him out on the Jay Electronica collabo Holiday. His only flaw is consistency.

    Lupe didnt fall off lyrically. He had one album with wack production. I can't exclude him from the conversation as long as he's making music like this:

    LOL at Pharoah Monch being better than Nas when he got bodied by Royce on Assassins, lol at Black Thought even at his best EVER ? with Nas at any time, it's not even close. Mos isn't near Nas in 2011 either maybe prime to prime, but he still loses. Lupe is nowhere near him.

    That song posted is wack for even Lupe and sucks horribly for Nas. Lupe fell of lyrically, flow wise, production wise, concept wise, etc. with Lasers that ? was ass as hell. No one's ? with Nas ever and not now.

    Elzhi..as dope as he is dude's still a Nas disciple when it comes to the rhyming in terms of multis, internal rhymes, why you think Elzhi made his own version of Illmatic?...and I guess you haven't heard of the song "Nasty" where Nas uses those elements you mentioned flawlessly..so basically what I'm saying to you in this post is:

    Your trolling is irrelevant and that post makes no common sense. You are mad and upset at the truth and that proves I don't have to answer to your posts anymore.

    why do u defend eminems techniqued by the book rhyming style that interprets no substance ?

    nas has high skill technique wordplay and flow while always including a grand dose of substance .....

    its not hard to sound nice ? while rhyming about random ? like ? a dog killing your wife and telling your mother to suck a ? .... his substance is preschool and his technique is by the book ....

    Don't do it BoYBe$T, he's only trying to bait you in a pointless debate because that's how trolls like him do. He's been on this site for sometime now with the same ? ' tactic about rhyme schemes and ? and he's not worthy of a response.

    elzhi is aight, but he wont have success. Lyrically, Nas is the most talented, as long as he is breathing, he is the best rapper alive.

    Lol @ common being in the same breath as Nas

    Kool G Rap, Rakim, Kane, and Lupe in a few years are the only ones who can take Nas' Crown
