Whose career would you rather have? Nas or E-40?

[Turfaholic]

My bad

 

[The Recipe]

They have been out practically the same amount of time but Nas eclipses him in every possible category besides slang and quanity of albums, super easy choice. You should put E-4-0 up against Drake or Kendick some guys with uber recent success vs his longevity.

 

[Trillfate]

40 prolly got more $ than Nas

 

[TheGOAT]

Both legends

Both have longevity. (40 got nas by a couple years tho, plus he older)

40 does get more radio play.

The IC likes to clown 40 and idk why

Nas my #1 mc of all time but i choose 40s career if i had to choose to walk a mile in their shoes.

Being CEO of own label >>

The Bay weather >> Queens weather

Happily married >> Kelis & Carmen

Owning your own winery >> doing Hennessey commercials

 

[Bodhi]

I only went with 40 because of his hustle...he was on this independent, CEO shit a long time ago.

Obviously Nas is the greatest lyricist of all time and has classic albums for days but his business wasn't always where it could've been.

Exactly

@ the bolded. You have a point. I went out to the Bay to visit my cousins in February and the weather was like 50-60 degrees. My flight home got cancelled because of a snowstorm and I had to stay in Cali for another week.

The California weather is most definitely better than East Coast weather, but I still like Nas's music better.

Went with 40.

His hustle and grind is impeccable, and him getting all those artists in that choices video showed he's highly respected in this game. Been doing his thang for 30 years.

I'm sure Nas could get the same artist in his video. Other artist are naming their kids after him.

 

[MiamiNights]

I've listen to more 40 music than Nas so I'll vote 40 and plus the man have his own language/slang/lango lol

 

[SneakDZA]

The only reason I would pick E-40 is because I value my privacy and it would be nice to be able to leave my neighborhood and nobody knows who the fuck I am.

YALL TALKIN ABOUT RADIO SPINS AND STATUS... DAM ALL DAT!

E40 IS HIS OWN BOSS, CAN DROP AN ALBUM WHEN HE WANTS, DIDNT SIGN TO HIS ENEMY, WASNT LEFT FOR DEAD

WAS ON FORBES, GOT HIS OWN LABEL... I THINK I'LL STOP RIGHT THERE...

I won't choose

Nas is my favorite rapper after Pac

And 40 is a legend and has alot of respect out here.

40 is a natural hustler and been in the game for 30+ years making a name for himself.

He has his own beer and wine and drops albums whenever he wants.

40 created slang rappers use to this day. Of course E40 aint getting spins in NY they're biased af.

40 has respect from his peers and his longevity in the game is insane.

as for Nas he's made some horrible career mistakes like signing with Jay (after he dissed him) and putting out a FIRM album, but at the same time his Catalog is top 10 and is filled with classics. Much love to 40 but when people drop a top 10 emcee of all time list 40 isnt mentioned as much and Nas is.

I was sippin on Earl Stevens Mangoscoto this past thanksgiving.

Gonna cop some E40beer next time im in KC (iowa dont carry it)

 

[lordstanley]

It's not really that crazy of a comparison..40 low key been having a successful, influential career and his ability to stay relevant is impressive..but nas is..nas. There are very few rappers to ever have an impact like him or to reach the level he's been at throughout his career..and e40 isn't one of them
