Rapper Ranking Project: Rapper #4 - Nas

[its....JOHN B]

The first verse on live now was classic storytelling, but that whole Scarlett character was a fail, to me he gives himself an L by holding her down after Sekous death because when she's on her deathbed she's bragging about spending all of Sekous money and having tons of unprotected sex and not knowing where the aids came from, it was a failed attempt at being creative I hate everything about that shit

There's no such thing as "a failed attempt at being creative".

Yea there is, it's called Sekou story clown

Would it be better if he used the same formula over and over again?

The fuck? That particular formula sucked that's all I'm saying, the story isn't on the same echelon of most of the stories he's come up with throughout his catalog and him speeding his voice up to sound like a chick was dumb, he should of scratched the whole idea and gave us three verses to live now

All those Kelis and marriage centered songs are wack and even worse now given what happened

SD is plain weak to me, but full disclosure, I don't really like double albums. I think they all would be much better slimmed down to single albums. You could take the best songs from SD and put it in a single album and it would probably be close to classic. As it is though, the album is meh. It's not terrible, bu it's not particularly great either.

Nas at his worst is better than 9 out of 10 MCs at their best.

Message to the feds, I like but American way is one of the worst nas songs ever and the worst qtip beat ever and I can't think of another bad tip beat. I swear nas came to tip and said "give me the worst disc on your drive, I'll rap off beat worst than the white people on that luda skit and I'll have my wife that can't sing for shit do a corny hook"

You're letting your fanboy show. Nas may very well be the best pure MC ever, but his worst material is not better than 90% of the rappers out there.

Who’s gon’ hold me down now? Hold me down now!

 

[Mister B.]

So, from what I seen

BIG - 37.5

Pac - 37.5

Jay - 36.5

Nas - 42

Ummmm.....I'd say that makes him the GOAT by these metrics, right? And this is a LOW score, based on others input.

Who's up next: Em, Cube, LL, T.I.??

 

[rip.dilla]

I have the entire Street's Disciple on one disc... dope album to me

 

[GetoBoy]

I have the entire Street's Disciple on one disc... dope album to me

That's how you gotta do most double albums gotta make em one album that's why I liked how Jay made the blueprint 2.1 outta blueprint 2 just took the best songs (outside of for sum reason leaving blueprint 2 off of it) and made one album I wish more rappers would do that with their double albums

Yeah but the label makes more money with a double album. They can charge $22 for a double album while a single album is $11.99. At least thats how it used to be.
