Black Thought or Nas?

[Mvpbrodie93]

Nasir is the GOAT, black thought top 20

 

[Serious Juice Mayne]

Nas got more impact but the whole book of work .... Idk about that man

 

[babel]

Good one! I'ma have to go with Thought on this one.

 

[soul rattler]

Nas. Black Thought ain't that nice to me. He's just a solid emcee but he's never "wow'd" me.

 

[Jdilla26]

Dam this one hard but Nas> thought overall artist but Str8 flow and wordplay Thought murkin niccas

 

[ustreet_monsta]

I'd rather hear a new Roots album than a new Nas album.

Strictly rapping and making music. Without talking about impact, sales and catalogs, I gotta go with Black Thought.

 

[DarkRaiden]

Nas by far. nas is the GOAT, Thought is just good.

 

[KeepinItHundred]

you can't just make "vs nas" threads just to get a plat thread.

 

[mustaf_ali06]

Good question. Both are dope lyricists, but while I've never heard Thought say a wack line, I would give the slight edge to Nas because of his impact on the game.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Black Thought. by a hair.

 

[JokerzWyld]

Both are in my top 5. My vote goes to Nas though. Props on including Thought, he doesn't get enough props in The Reason.

 

[a_list]

goin wit nas on this one

 

[Say What]

I like Black Thought more atleast with the last few albums

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Nas is the only emcee that's actually better than Black Thought in my eyes. Everyone else, Black Thought is just as good, if not better.

 

[glenclose]

nas has a more cerebral career but thought just hits it right everytime. i lean towards nas but it close

 

[Idoitforhiphop]

At the end of the day, gotta go with Nas. Though something tells me the new album isn't going to be that great.

 

[Serious Juice Mayne]

I.dont think nas can out rap black ... Roots cd >nas cds (includin illimatic)

 

[Mumo X]

Nas but justttt.........

I wouldnt get mad if someone said Black Thought is a better emcee than Olu Dara...

 

[stupot0607]

Nas. Just.

 

[a.mann]

Nas.

funny thing is I just made a best of....the Roots playlist on my ipod (damn near 35 tracks!)

and came to the conclusion that nice if Thought is on the mic

at the end of the day he is just Questlove's "mouth piece" and really has know outside personality besides being just that.

It's a shame to. I would have loved to hear a Black Thought solo, to get to know this brother better. Which would been great is recented around 98-2000. when the Roots were really hitting it out the park.
