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

[Turfaholic]

i can say the same shit about project pat, and yall would holler local, stop it.

Kinda hard to go Platinum in the 90's as a local artist (Project Pat). Wouldn't you agree? Its one thing to talk. And its another to talk facts.

its possible that pat went platinum strictly off southern sales

three 6 stayed with platinum and gold albums, but they never really even broke out like that until they won the oscar, then they were everywhere

perhaps a better word would have been regional but the point still remains. e-40 not on nas level just cuz that damn choices song is on the radio and u need to stop.

You're speaking on nothing but speculation. You really gonna try to limit Project Pat to the Mason-Dixon line just to make your point seem valid. Scust. And I think you're missing the point of this thread. Its not about if they are on the same level, its about 2 different careers, successful is 2 complete different ways. Which one would you take?

i aint limiting bruh, im sayin its possible

back then u know damn well you could go gold in one city, be it ny, la, or even memphis.

and the point of this thread is stupid as a muthafucka cuz not only is nas more successful musically and skill wise, he's more successful financially, who the fuck wouldnt choose nas. cut this bullshit out b.

 

[Louis Devinear]

If e40 is local how does he have a fanbase in Des Moines Iowa?

If 40 was from Nyc with the new York accent niggas would be looking at him like Raekwon or ghostface. It's the way he sounds that throw some people off.

Most of the U.S is alike compared to NY.

I don't think a lot of people understand this. I've been south. West. And Midwest.

And to me there's no real discrepancy between regions.

All them niggas sound the same sonically, except Chicago niggas.

 

[GetoBoy]

Niggas talking that "40 don't play out here" like nas be all over the radios.... Nas don't be getting no burn in the bay really unless he on sumbody else track

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

at least nas old school shit be all over the radio, e-40 got tell me when to go and thats it, im pretty sure if i ruled the world, made u look and hero still plays

I wouldn't choose Nas.....

You can't call Nas and say, "Hey Nas I wanna shoot a video in Queensbridge, can you make it happen?"

Nas doesn't own Sprite nor Henessy, which is the goat alcohol drink in the world. Once he's done with his contract, no more checks from them.

E-40 has successfully put out his own alcoholic beverages. Wine, rum, & beer. He can pass that down to his children. Which promotes entrepreneurship within the African American community.

E-40 has a successful indie label. Not really a factor outside of the west coast. But it's stable and has sustained itself and has provided a outlet too many people in the bay area for income and a way to stay out of the streets.

Nas is on his second label. Hope it goes smooth this time around.

Pretty much E-40 is a boss. Nas is a worker.

Lol..

You don't have to tear one down,

We not counting pockets. Stated that a few pages back. Nas has signed better record deals with bigger companies. Thats a automatic.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

yea man cuz bein the nigga to call when niggas come to town is so much better than actually being great AND lucrative at ur main career.

Why don't you mention all Nas' successfull business ventures or at hr fact Mass Appeal had bigger releases last year nationally than Sick Wit It has had since the Click and Turf Talk was popping like 10 years ago? You're showing your intentions and biases right now. Maybe you aren't aware of Nas investments in the tech industry? Eric B was actually just talking about it today on the Combat Jack Show. Nas owns a bunch of businesses too, that are just as profitable as 40's alcohols. I'm sure 40 has a lot of other businesses too.

I didn't vote because I respect both of their careers and could see arguments for both sides. It's wack to try to downplay either of them in my opinion. Theyve both been around for basically the same span of time and they're both still hella relevant.

Can somebody educate me about these other ventures Nas has?

You pick E-40 because he has a successful alcoholic beverage company and had his own independent label for a long time while Nas was signed to a major and has endorsements with beverage companies but not owned them? But what about everything else? They both own a bunch of companies and have investments and record labels that provide an outlet for income and a way to stay off the streets. You can just say you like E-40's music better.

You got people in this thread about marriage and other weird shit that doesn't have anything to do with careers.

[buttuh_b]

And yes, Nas could get you a music video shot in QB if he wanted. He goes back to the hood when he wants. Jungle is there on a regular basis. It's not even hectic like that any more. Lol where you coming from with this "he can't go back to his projects" shit?

 

[buttuh_b]

Can somebody educate me about these other ventures Nas has?

http://qbvp.com/ check it out here

It's a list of Queensbridge Venture Partnership Capitalists biggest portions of their portfolio is DropBox, Lyft, BlueBox.

 

[MECCA1000]

E-40 got down with wingstop before ross

40 been sitting on Microsoft stock from the 90's

Dude been in his mansion before 50

Dude sitting comfortable on old money

 

[AggieLean.]

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.

That's cool.

 

[GetoBoy]

at least nas old school shit be all over the radio, e-40 got tell me when to go and thats it, im pretty sure if i ruled the world, made u look and hero still plays

Nope! Not this way

 

[Soloman_The_Wise]

Cannot cosign this shit these 2 are in such different lanes of the game and both are fucked with by 3 generations of fans as I know my childrens friends and many other school age kids that like both or either of them depending on their own personal style...
