[DarthRozay]

Let's be real, people are gonna choose Nas based solely on the fact that he's a legend

Let's be real, people are gonna choose Nas based solely on the fact that he's a legend

That or he's just better

Let's be real, people are gonna choose Nas based solely on the fact that he's a legend

That or he's just better

The most lopsided poll ever

Nigga, it just started.

Just because Lupe writes songs like they are puzzles that doesn't mean hes the greatest.

Nas can give you lyrics and storytelling in a track without going over the top like he wants to write the davinci code

yea i wanted to say something like this but in a way it makes the argument for lupe being better

 

[LUClEN]

This is hard

Nas is more direct than Lupe

But once you manage to decipher a prime Lupe verse there is little that can compare to it lyrically

 

[StoneColdMikey]

It can take a longer time for me to actually understand a Lupe verse compared to Nas

 

[LUClEN]

They're about even when it comes to rhyme structures, with Lupe getting the edge for multis

According to this Nas has better vocab

Content wise it's a tough call, but I think Lupe has covered more than Nas

Story telling goes to Nas

Punchlines, metas, similes all go to Lupe

Both have really dope concept records

I like Lupe's last project more than Nas' though, so he gets my vote

Could go either way really

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

I think Nas is a better overall rapper but Lupe got him in lyricism.

Lu will say some shit thatll fall on death ears the first time you listen. but like a month later and you listen again

Is Lupe really that nice for yall to be puttin him up against Nas?

 

[Intelligent_Hoodlum]

Never really tried given his music a chance like dat, sumbody post up his top 5 tracks

i fucks with "Hurt Me Soul" so if he got sum more tracks like that i might go peep his albums

 

[Soloman_The_Wise]

you got 2 of the best in this I give the technical edge to Lupe but Nas is a lyrical beast so I cannot fault anyone that prefers his mechanics over Lupes...

 

[GetoBoy]

I don't even gotta vote to know nas probably killing in this poll....I mean it is a nas poll in the IC after all....

 

[Ilike2get baked]

Fan of both but when Nas comes alive on a track the only person that can fuck with him is Jesus

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Is Lupe really that nice for yall to be puttin him up against Nas?

Yes. From someone who has all of their music Lupe can mentioned with Nas.

If we talking lyricism then Failure


This is just a few. Niggas be sleeping on Lu heavy without even going into his catalog.

they love lupe on here too

 

[sthiphop101]

Lupe one of my favorite artist, but come on now...

 

[CitySojourner]

Nas is consistent and has gotten better over the years, Lupe fell off a bit imo.

 

[Jabu_Rule]

After the gotcha moment is over in Lupes secret rhymes, i'm no longer interested in his music like That. They both Lyrical, but i fuck with Nas because he can work with words without gimmicks and his flow and generic (when not trying on new flows) rhyme pattern is better to me..
