The don of all don’s since you wanna call me something
All of a sudden, ? ball and stuntin’
Ya’ll just started pulling arms
Pull ya card, ya spineless
Where ya heart, I know where mine is
A don is one who accept things he cannot change
Only thing I accept I cannot change is getting old and dying
Gold medallion, over my son chest
He’ll hold it down when I sunset
What does death mean to me?
I never owned the concept, I was here
I’m just a spirit, lets get one thing clear
Everything segue’s into each other
One thing is just an extension of the other
My kid to me, I am my children through history
Of Stand up men and stand up women
I am existing I was conceived to break bread with kings
And make connections
We haven’t met yet
My reputation you’ve stuck with
Until we have our formal introduction
That’s enough
But every male is not a man
So some of those that will hold out they hand wont understand
This thing of ours
NAS..
LIFE IS GOOD..

Damn, I hadn't heard this track yet... DAMN NAS... GOAT status... -
Doggy I was just in class reciting that verse in my head over and over again planning on posting it in this thread when I got home but you did it for me. It shouldn't take a rapper dying for us to appreciate him. Words can't describe how much he means to the rap game.
Life is good. -
I'm sorry but Hov's career >>> Nas' career
Nas is still feelin that Takeover in 2012.. -
From an artistic standpoint Jay's career was moreso based on what was hot at the time rather than making timeless creative material. Don't get me wrong, he has had a good career but when he looks back I feel like he will be more proud of his accomplishments and accolades than the actual material itself.

Great thread aside from deathrowzorrow tongue kissing ?
-
Pac and Nas have been my all time favorites for awhile now. Their catalogs and impact on hip-hop are undeniable.

Let the wacks and nosigns rain -

these threads are why nas gets hated on. lol

gotta be jay-z...
nas is a ? /goat but jay has had the best career in hip hop history -
best career ??????????????????
these 2 ? never rapped?
-
Read the OP before posting in my thread. I'm talking about best career from a musical perspective.
The versatility of Marvin Gaye's catalog is part of what made him great. -
100% cosign

Nas has a got a Top 5 career for sure... I'd probably put him at #1 if he had a couple more classics. Life Is Good sounds like its going to be a classic tho, so that might make his case even better.

Nas got a stellar career, this is olo album #10 and his sword is still as sharp as ever, I can actually see Nas dropping 10 more albums before he retires. I wonder if his Sun gonna be blessed with that flow that sounds like it's been submerged in the Fountain of youth.
LL, Too Short, E40 got some nice career/catalogs that fly under the radar too.
remember nas wrote illmatic when he was 15-16.. rick ross wrote hustlin when he was in his 30s..
nas was 19 - 20 when he did illmatic and the verses that would end up on there
"i woke up early on my BORN DAY (birthday) im 20 its a blessing the essence of adolesence leaves my body now freshened"

Don't pay attention to that lil sweet ? smh -
Nas and Pac are my 1A and 1B for goats. Unfortunately Pac didn't have the opportunity to be 20 years deep in the game or this might be a different thread.

smh, who the ? believes ll cool j is even top 10 material?

Not everybody has the same reading compression skills bruh.
They might think the word catalog means a magazine with shopping items in it.
Let's not sleep on Nas, it ain't too many rappers that have two classic albums with a 3rd classic dropping in 6 days.SuperstarCole wrote: »smh, who the ? believes ll cool j is even top 10 material?
Rappers, historians, critics, HipHop heads all have in their Top 20 lists.
It depends on your HipHop IQ.

Jay Z has longevity, one of the richest rappers, one of the highest selling rappers and easily one of the most skilled
and finally he is ? beyonce
Jay is up there in almost every category when it comes to numbers
I would say jay z has the best career of any rapper -

These kids today.
Uncle L, future of the funk had nice run,
LL was that dude: 5 gold, 3 platinum, 3 double platinum albums and homie was not afraid to battle you. He might not be in my top 10 but he damn sure is in somebodies.
He got all the hardware all yall lil young ? glorify now.
-
typical Jay Z stans say the same ?
oh he has beyonce
oh he has Brooklyn Nets
oh he broke bread with Warren Buffet
oh he has more money
oh he own this that and the third
these the kind of ? that be roaming on gossip websites like mediatakeout
they act this ? has no flaws

From a lyrical standpoint, NaS is ahead of Jay by miles. His career is not as bad as people make it out to be. For every Jay Z line a ? spit. I can spit a NaS line that's much better.
NaS has Survived The Times and is still relevent. ? still can't understand that ? . NaS has enough fans to last hime a couple more years...... Real NaS fans care more about his music than his personal life
All these fly by night rappers wish they had a career like NaS.
I feel what you're saying, but I'm sure if Nas had accomplished as much as Jay has some Nas fans would say the same. I've stated before Jay & Nas are 1 & 2 in my book (switches with the mood I'm in), but if were looking at careers it would seem Jay has had the more successful one, but then again, it depends on your definition of success. I haven't listened to a Nas album more than twice since Stillmatic, but I'm still playing Illmatic & It Was Written so the other stuff doesn't really come into the equation when I speak about him. He has many plaques and his impact can't be denied. It's just sad cats like to down one rapper to big up the next.
As far as lyrics, they're subjective. What means something to you may not necessarily mean anything to the next man. I wouldn't say Nas is ahead of Jay by miles, but I can't knock you for saying it because that's how you feel. I think 2Pac was one of the nicest on the mic, but some cats feel his lyrics were too simple. I ? with Pac because his ? really had meaning...to each his own.
With that said, Nas has definitely had one of the best careers to me...is it the best? I really can't say, but he is definitely in the argument. -
cosign this thread
Nas has always been one of my favorites
I was listening to Nastradamus (which is considered possibly his worst album) and he still had great content on there
the Street Dreams Remix is one of my favorites tracks
I just hate the way Cormega and AZ got played to the left by him -

Cormega moreso than A.... Imagine The Firm with Mega in it... not to say Nature ain't nice but Mega is a ? poet.
And yea Nas spit some potent ? on that Street Dreams remix with Kellz. One of my top 10 Nas tracks probably.
