Pap always kept it real. Nas is a genius

[@tebogomaphephe3470]

Theres alot of talented and genius MCs Pap is one of them Jay Z is good but hes not on Nas Level their beef proved that, but for sum reason they PUT Jay on a higher pedestal even Jay Z mentor Jaz O is better than Jay Z.

[@BusyB1993]

Nas one of the most creative artist ever. His catalog is insane. Lyrically that dude is different. Easy # 1 they always hate on Nas but the real ones know.

[@thediaz07]

​@@tebogomaphephe3470 I definitely put Nas above Jay but I can but Jaz above Jay...Jaz doesn't have a catalogue like that...he's definitely great...but Nas actually has ATG albums to back his claim up. Illmatic arguably the best rap album, It was written is top 10 and Stillmatic is top 20 for me.

[@kenanmccaleb8327]

​​​@@tebogomaphephe3470I will tell you why. Jay Z fans will point to the fact that Jay-Z has sold more and has more Grammy's. Which Jay has but Jay is a commercial artist. Nas is not. Even in his hay day, he wasn't going 4-times platinum like Snoop. #3 Nas subject matters is what keeps him out of that inner circle like Jay n Big. Nas music is way more important because of his rich caliber of music. Nas was talking about black on crime in the form of a gun on It Was Written. We luv Biggy. But Biggy never made you think. He was a entertainer like Jay Z.

Thank you paps. I grew on Wayne ye em and hov was vibrant too. But when I listened to Nas I realize he is above all their heads. Nas is more like Shakespeare. And he was doing it at age 20. Nas is the GREATEST.

Bro, what you said is poetry. "Nas is more like Shakespeare." BINGO. That's the SAME EXACT THOUGHT i had: "Jay is great, Eminem is a wizard, Weezy got BARS for days...But Nas is something different entirely, he is true art, he is poetry, he is SHAKESPEARE: somebody who TRANSCENDS genius."

[@StrategicShon]

What Papoose is saying is partially true bc so much rap is what I call foul mouthed Dr. Seuss put to a beat. So many people won’t listen to rap--BUT NAS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. I CRIED THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM -HE DESERVES SO MUCH MORE ❤❤❤. Awards and lifetime achievement and star on block -

[@getstrongby4038]

There's a lot of younger guys saying dumb shit like tha, I saw one guy ls reaction video saying how nas is Trash but lil durk is fire 🤣

[@damnthisuser]

Me either. I think what Pap is getting at is there are way too many who shouldn't be in the conversation. Em is nice but he was crowned too early. G rap was forgotten pretty quickly by even semi rap heads. To me I'm ok with youngins not getting it because well when you're young it's hard to appreciate anything when u weren't around...but Nas being wack has never been uttered ever by anyone!

[@damienlahoz]

Nas is the Goat. Absolutely zero doubts. And he tells you, been telling you. People say hes humble, maybe but he been saying hes the best since 91 and it was true then and still true.

[@chrislabate4549]

Jimi Hendrix godfathered the Swag,George Clinton ran with it with the psychedelic funk movement,The DJs,Mc,s,graffiti artists,breakdancers transformation of samples made music more accessible, Melle Mel captured the soul of the inner city,,BDK,LL,Kool G,Kool Keith,Slick Rick ,and especially Rakim fathered the blueprint of complex hard hitting intelligent bars future artists leaned on,Nas took those influences yet crafted his own distinct style and took things to the next level but he never duplicated the impact of Rakim,nor did Eminem.Rakim hands down is the GOAT because he became the foundational influencer of all future rappers ,Rakim didn't need low vibrational negativity through the use of curse words or evil seeds to plant in people's minds,Rakim planted the Rap tree of life future rappers ate from directly and indirectly.

[@MurdahBassRecords]

Huh? I never knew Nas was downplayed. In my circle we always knew was one of the greatest of all time......but mans was scared of Big l's flow. Big L was the king if rap. Nobody better. Ever. Hands down. Best rapper of all time. Rip

[@Whylife100]

another legend people dont talk about is twista

[@Sandrimoral-Castle-CRIII]

Maybe because most people can't make out what tf he is saying most of the time. I mean you can't sing along. He is very fast, but if most people cannot sing your song, you are just known as fast rather than for thr content of your lyrics.

Problem with Nas is he didnt have the machine behind him like that. Plus the commercial era of rap screwed his mojo up while he was looking for radio hits. Now that his marching to the beat of his own drum, he has freedom now and with that comes art.

I’m confused all I ever hear is how Nas is great. Who I never hear about who papoose did just name is Koop G Rap!!

[@sharonbrown2150]

They probably give it to Jay-Z because he said in one of his raps I used to rap like common sense but I made a million and haven't rapped like common since. Maybe some of the people heard his earliest stuff and think he got it that we don't know about. Maybe they're trying to give Jay z a chance to get back to his roots if he shake off Beyonce and her sell out self. And Swizz beatz is a beat thief. My name is Sharon Brown my nickname was Swizz beatz and I live not far from Jay z and my brother's name was James. Having Swizz beatz and Beyonce around can make someone a sell out. Ask kasseem dean how he got my initials SB for Swizz beatz and I was making beats not far from where Jay z live. And why he's steal my beats and my nickname as a producer.

[@bavs8a]

They always say Nas is number one.

[@kirkleslie7694]

Pap is in laymans term telling how jayz kept himself afloat... U take a shot at a man mourning his mothers death because he lyrically superior to u just to create the illusion that u are his rival... Win loss or draw that moment propelled jayz career...
