Nas or Nelly? Whose career would you rather have??

[usmarin3]

The question is "career'', obviously Nas. I would take Nelly's accomplishments and money though.

 

[Billy_Poncho]

Nelly. I ain't gotta be famous, gimme the bread and I'm good. Plus that nigga got chart-topping singles that can at least get him some shows overseas for a while.

 

[S2J]

Exactly, the thread says CAREER.

Maybe im wrong, but i take that to mean catalogue, income stream from said catalogue, reputation, etc.

Kelis, IRS, ChSup doesnt factor in imo

 

[Kushington]

Nelly put out the music he wanted to and it was extremely successful commercially, i think that's every artist's goal.

But Nas has a lasting legacy and went down in history as one of the best rappers of all time, I also think thats every rappers goal.

Theyre on opposite ends of the spectrum

 

[soulbrother]

Nelly name definitely does NOT sell like Nas's does.

We did a party with Nelly a few months back, we got that nigga for free through a deal. Lets just say not that many people came.

But it was still a good party cause Nelly brought T.I. To the club with him...

nigga you ain't got to lie to kick it....

 

[genocidecutter]

Nelly. Make a huge amount of money in a short time

 

[rip.dilla]

Dumb nggas.

Royalties, residual income, tour money, club appearances, guest verses, merchandising, name/brand recognition...

Yep ..

I'll take all these plus

Nasir Jones after over/nearly 2 decades in the game is still musically relevant and has his fanbase intact. Plus he hasn't slipped up lyrically despite being a good 40 yrs old. He is regarded as arguably the greatest rapper ever.

Nelly has sold tons of records but has lost a massive number of his 'fans' despite him being a considerably good business man. Plus his recent drug bust up with the law is a slight taint ..

I won't follow some clowns in here and hype up another man's sexual conquests. Totally irrelevant and bitchy

 

[dalyricalbandit]

Be considered one of the GOATs

or

one of the high selling artist in hiphop.

Lol @ the euros sayin "Bitchy" fucc outta here wit that female lingo.Rofl @ sayin that in a uk accent

 

[YamoleySensei]

I don't give a fuck about who got more money, but what I do know is Nasir never went diamond....twice at that...someone said Nelly put the mid-west on his back (even though I never owned a Nelly album and I think he's wack as fuck), what Nas did? Carry Queensbridge projects on his back? LMAO! Fuck outta here...I'd rather cake, get my shitty city on the map, kick nursery school rhymes, and fuck bad hoes like Ashanti than having a Nas career.

cut the bullshit, nigga

 

[jono]

You really see where a nigga's priorities are when he's asked a question iike this one.

Nas' name was synonymous with "classic" before Nelly even came on the scene. But that's not even my argument, here's my argument:

Nobody was thinking about or talking about Nelly last week. The only reason niggas are talking about him today, is because of what happened yesterday. He, with all his money and his "bad bitch" wasn't on anyone's radar at all.

Another case in point: Nelly dropped a mixtape, first of all a nigga that went diamond has been relegated to dropping mixtapes alone is embarrassing, but the fact nobody even gave a damn is even sadder to me.

I like Nelly, always have but I'd rather have Scarface's career than Nelly's, I'd rather have DJ Quik's career over Nelly's at this point. Muhfuckas wear Apple Bottom jeans and forget Nelly even owned it.

Nelly's career, outside of selling a ton of records is a laughingstock. What classic verses does he have? What classic albums are niggas still playing? Who's "top 25" list has Nelly on it? So really what's the comparison? You're comparing a nigga that made white folks a lot of money and is banging a talentless, equally irrelevant broad to a nigga that makes waves in the industry by doing small shit?

Go to the topic on this site about Nelly's mixtape....you probably could count the responses on 1 hand, then go to the topic about Nas album, who matters more to the game?

"You come in spit a sentence and the game will get rid of ya'll"- STILLMATIC

Casket closed....

(Besides niggas talking about Kelis living off Nas, at least Nas has a child out the deal. Ashanti living off Nelly, when the last time that bitch sold a record? Ya'll niggas dumb to even bring that up. They both lazy hoes lol)

Nelly has sold more records than nasir in half the time

Nelly has become an entrepreneur with a successful business blacc enterprise shit while nasir has done nothin in 20 years.Nelly has more dough than nasir

Nelly's career>>>>Nasirs'.Jigga,fif,nelly,tip,E-40,LL,Cube,Kanye all have had better careers than nasir

I don't have to type an essay to get these points across.Nasir is a better rapper than nelly tho
