How many people have rapped a song backwards, made a hot song from whispering to yelling, tons of commercial success, off the hook lyrics on almost every track with the exception of that one with Ginuwine and Oochie Wally, made a song with his father, made a song with his wife, made a song to children everywhere, 4 distinct styles (Nasty Nas, flossin Nas, etc etc), sung in a song (Me & You), been in the rap game for 10 years +, 2 distinct classic albums with a handful of very solid albums, Best battle track of all time (at least top 3...), caused a handful of copycat rappers (Jay, etc etc). Need I go on?

    Let me know if you agree with me and why or why not.
    Not really man, Nas is pretty much well known within the hip-hop community. He only goes 1-2 platinum per album.

        It depends on what you base being the greatest on. If its longevity and great albums then it probably is Nas.

            I thought Street Disciple was weak as well.


            The only Nas albums I really think are nice are Illmatic, It Was Written and Stillmatic. The others had some nice tracks but overall were not that great.

                I think it would of been a lot better if it was made 1 disc but I still thought it was some of his more creative **** and I still enjoyed a lot of the songs.

                Honestly, for me, I only rate Nastradamus wack on the lyrical content. If it was strictly up to the music I would rate it a very good album.

                  Rockers know who 2pac and Biggie are, they don't know Nas. 40 year olds know who 2pac and Biggie are, they don't know Nas. Nas has hip-hop wide popularity man, he isn't known worldwide.

                    no he's not known world wide. but the reason 2pac and biggie got even bigger was because of there deaths on the news and we know 40yearolds watch the news

                      They were still huge in the public before they died. The East vs. West would've done great for their careers had they not been killed, ****load of exposure.
