Nas is one of the greatest writers of all time. From his storytelling to his metaphors, the way he maneuvers words to share his perspective on the world is a once in a lifetime ability. He’s had one of the most consistent runs of lyricism, ever and there is nothing that can happen that would take away Nas’ impact on Hip Hop over the last 3 decades.

Eminem is a genius himself. He's in the conversation for greatest MC of all time in his own right. Imo Nas is the GOAT but it's music not sports. It's all personal preference and inherently subjective. They are all genius talents. I've heard Black Thought verses that made me think he was the GOAT. Or Lupe. Or Aesop Rock. Or Eminem. Or Pharaoh Monch. Or Rakim. Or Andre 3Ks. Etc. So many greats. Nas is also the most influential imo.

One thing about Nas is he knows how to make a compelling record. Most rappers can only do freestyles and are grossly one dimensional in their subject matter. They're only good for a posse cut and would be boring to listen to over the course of an album without being laced with beats from top producers. Nas has never been carried by beats and has the lyrical versatility to make an album interesting.

I always felt like nas' writing would get him a pulitzer the same way that bob dylan was awarded one for his writing. nas is so influential I've heard on a podcast years ago that there are teachers who use his music as teaching material for writing. his music is unparalleled. love nas. he's definitely one of my top 5 favorite rappers of all time

NaS was Born to Use Mics 🎤! He has always been about the Art, the Culture, for the most part he didn't compromised his Pen to get Radio play, but he always knew that all he had to do was keep working putting out his thoughts & creativity on tracks and let it play out in the long run. Y'all forget that his Dad is a musician that has traveled the World and so music flows through NaS veins, and to him its about the music, all the other stuff that comes with it good or bad, like fame or hate is expected, so you look the other way and just do you and continue feeding his loyal fans. I remember him saying in an interview 1990s, young NaS, that he was going to rhyme until he grow old, because that is what he loves to do and there is no reason why a Rapper can't rhyme into his 70s like Rock n Roll artist do. "A Slow Run Beats Cheating The Grind" - NaS

I heard a rock guy say the best albums of all time across genres is Illmatic and The Score. That was big for hip hop. And the fact he put Illmatic up there was crazy.
