    If Nas was Darkskinned....

    Nobody on Earth, would be talking this way!


    When did Marvin Gaye do some 'Oochie Wally' type ? ?
    When did Marvin go ruuuuuuuuun back to Berry Gordy for a record deal, after they ether'd each other on wax/Berry ? -filled condoms left on Winona's carseat?
    When did Marvin marry any one similar, to....Kelis?
    When did Marvin succumb to Record Label pressure...re: What's Going On? Or "inner City: make me wanna holler"

    ...this ain't living, mufu's, naaaaaw naw naw naw, this ain't living"

    If Gnoz aint darkskinned, what is he?

    Nas talks a lot of ? , and these days in his 30s he just rambles on the mic trying not to be too bold he has lost his poetic freedom. Nas in his early 20's was the man that could be comparable to Marvin Gaye and more.

    but this Untitled/Distant Relatives Nas aint the one even though his subject matter is on par and positive, his art should be art and not lectures.

    Marvin got a voice that could united everyone and just share such a splendor of a moment, Nas could do that with his rhymes in his early years.

    Nas is Larry Holmes bruh.

    so what do you want Nas to rap bout? Drugs,Crime,sex? Nas has evolved musically and aged gracefully. Stil as lyrically sharp like when he started. Untitled and DR are proof. Aint u the one who said that Nas aint GOAT cuz he never built his own Mo Town? Smh! Nas is our Marvin Gaye!

    Illmatic is overrated In 1994 when illmatic dropped it wasnt even the best or biggest album of the year it had no impact on rap at the time

    You believe the hype of revisionists accounts

    Pac wasnt called the goat while alive biggie was the bigger star pac was a loudmouth ? who talked a lot and starred in(at the time) d list straight to dvd movies

    Pac didnt get called "Goat" until he got wet up and died

    Biggie was fat and overrated. He had too many ? lines

    Nas>>>>>>

    I never seen Nas give out turkeys on thanksgiving day, no unicef ? , no QB charity community scheme, i have seen his feet do zero huminatarian work thats fine Marvin Gaye never got that chance but his Music(Art) did that it did good positive work through out the land.

    Nas illmatic had glimses it could do that, then his early 20's showed people how to tell poetic stories and braggadacio view points and all out oscar like feel to rhyming (that is his art) what his doing now is mumbling because he has pigeon holed himself to by some of his backpack vocal elitist fans and himself he is some type of Moses parting the hiphop red sea.

    I wish he would just rap poetic no matter what his saying, It's his Art that influences (since his feet doesnt) and right now his a garbage MC.

    Nas is Hip-hop's Elton John...

    DL Hughley, is America's ? who thought it was a great idea for him to compliment obama's historic 2008 Campaign...with hosting a minstrel show on CNN where he played a fake-fucc Steven Colbert clone/ constantly clowning Black's political progress.;


    You know, sort of like what Nas did w/ the N.I.G.G.E.R. album

    You sure you and KTULU aren't the same? Both of you have a similar dislike..

    "He's alright, but he's not real" Seriously, Nas is a great lyricist. I really can't say anything bad about him. I enjoyed his earlier material a lot better, but he still is no lower than 2 on my list. I'm not sure about the comparison to Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye was one of the greatest artists of all time. I don't see Nas as a great artist. However, I do see him as a great MC.

    he is a great artist though. He has touched on real subjects and is one of the best writers in rap.

    If that's how you see it, I have no problem with that. I just don't see it the same way. I view Kanye, Outkast, Masta Ace, & De La Soul as great artists because they put more into their music than just writing lyrics. I don't get that from Nas.

    Many would disagree but diff strokes for diff folks.

    2012 you better stop with the propaganda doggy. I don't even want to son you to oblivion.

    Oochie Wally?

    When did Marvin marry someone similar to Kelis??? Have you ever heard "Anna's Song"? Have you ever heard the Here My, Dear album? VERY SIMILAR.

    When did he succumb to pressure? Where exactly did Nas? Because he changed his album title? Sometimes you gotta compromise. The ? is a business at the end of the day. Marvin didn't always have the best deals. Even Prince didn't always get what he wanted, contrary to what some believe.

    I've been a huge fan since I was a lil kid and I can promise you the comparison is dead on.
