Isn't that what that Long Island black muslim cult believes?
One of the worst album covers of all time
So grossly overrated. Ive tried so hard and there just isnt even much to dig into his lyrics are at face value i need some deeper more abstract stuff, like maybe some trip-hop or something. Nas just doesnt cut it for me.
in terms of flow and rhyme and all that good stuff he's a serious contender the most technically talented MC of all time
but he's got pretty bad taste in production and he can get a bit preachy sometimes
still one of the greatest

what's the deal with this trip-hop meme
did i miss something or did you just randomly decide on a whim that trip-hop would be a fun meme to force
He made one amazing album when he was broke and hungry, but as soon as he got money and started fucking light-skinned bitches he fell off.

>implying someone would have to be "forced" to love trip hop
not even him but are you daft? trip hop is the pinnacle of modern youth culture and not only that but its scientifically been proven using frequencies analyzers and various other sound wave-measuring tools that trip hop is one of the most if not THE most aesthetically and aurally pleasing genre in existence. with so many great trip hop projects being dropped recently, i think its safe to say that trip hop is the "next big thing"

trip-hop died about a decade ago you dunce

just to name a few recent classics, and ill try to keep it to just the mainstream or more well known ones so the list doesnt go on too long

i could go on but i dont want to overwhelm you
I like how trip-hop apparently originated in the UK, but it was being made by Americans artists years before it become a thing 4 the limeys.
>>62906400
it was written was good but not as good as illmatic, everything after is bleh
worst album covers of all time
His only real flaws are shit taste in production (for the most part), and inability to write effective hooks. Other than that, he's easily one of the best rappers of all time, solely based on his flow and lyrical ability.
Exactly how many times did he try to recreate that album cover?
>>62908620
No that would be Eminem
>>62908783
I'd put both of them in that category. Except, Nas still has the ability to release good music nowadays. I really enjoyed Life is Good except for a couple tracks, and Nas' features since then have been amazing.
Em on the other hand, is completely washed up. I doubt he can ever make a relevant comeback. Dude can't write a song to save his life.

>>62906445
>>62906466
so you be saying that was the album you chose to represent his entire career?
Very overrated.

My sentiments exactly.
Triplicate numerals substantiate what is indicated.

>nas is like
aight
>>62909644
I literally said :"shit taste in production (for the most part)." Nas is Like is an example of a great song of his with immaculate production. I wish most of I Am was as good as that song.
>>62910464
>great song of his with immaculate production
That's basically anything PREEMO touches. He's the undisputed greatest producer to ever spin a vinyl.
>four albums in a row with the same fucking background
are you fucking serious.
>>62906400
Good first two albums.
SO U BE SAYAN
At his best there is no rapper better than Nas. I Gave You Power is a masterpiece.

Chill, white boy

Em went to irredimable shit and its not even funny, Nas just has a garbage taste in production but i like god son.
