Nas wasnt 18 when he dropped illmatic. If you listen to Lifes a B he says he's 20 in that song alone. Illmatic came out early 94 that makes Nas 20. He might've been 18 when he started recording Illmatic.

Nas, Biggie, and Tupac, are all legends and they all created great music, my point is whether you prefer Nas like me, or you prefer Biggie or Pac, they all made some of the most memorable songs ever

[@ceeIoc]

People need to realize there were TWO meetings. The first time, Nas was only with a couple dudes and Pac was deep when he stepped to Nas. Nas calls up the homies from QB, which is about a 20 min subway ride to central park. That's when Nas rolled through with the whole QB strapped and Pac bowed down and they chopped it up.

they would of shut the rap game down nas,pac,biggie all met in 94 when pac n big were friends theyd be running things .Had there been no beef

[@TheFinespice]

they squashed their beef so no need picking one over the other, NAS is a quiet dude he is super chilled, Tupac on the other hand is very out spoken that probably got him killed, in jail and what not. Tupacs family choose Nas to honor him so i guess his family endorses Nas. they are both great in their different rights.

[@Peacepov]

In my opinion both of them are The best classic rappers of all time but, Tupac is A LEGEND, He set a goal that no one can reach, You cant compete with pac!

[@JazminDiaz01]

They are both great, why is there always a competition? Nas is a great artist and so was pac. ppl think that being the bigger man is about running up on someone but stuff like that is either going lead to two places no disrespect to pac. But nas is 38 and still making music for being wise, it takes a real man to know what's not worth dying for and for making peace.

[@Thatboiprince]

Snap?

[@s3t2tru]

nah man 2pac had the best rap technique ever,even eminem said it,nas is a good rapper,one of the best but pac is on some next lvl shit,he always knew what he wanted to spit,its not about how complex you lyrics sound but how easy is for you to paint a picture and get a point across, when you listen to pac its just surreal,you learn from him and you feel and see what he says. peace and god bless

Funny how nas eventually switched the "well talk later" part to "come to Vegas with me" lol

[@Just.S]

Pac was inspired by nas so it's easy to believe pac would make peace with nas. Their music is similar, they have a rebel feel in their songs so there's no point in them rebelling against each other.

[@rtc7788]

Justin Scott You mean Nas was inspired by Pac right? Nas was hardly a somebody, and Tupac was like the top of the game. But yeah, Nas is lying. He's referring to the MTV Music Awards in 96, Hussen Fatal was telling the truth, as you can even see the video Tupac was rolling with a ton of dudes.

[@alexstafonis1763]

Nas was hardly a somebody? He may not have been as famous as Tupac and Biggie at the time, but Tupac had to be stupid to believe he'd be able to battle it out with Nas without some casualties along he way. Nas was considered more of an underground rapper at the time, he became more commercial after Tupacs and Biggies deaths, especially during the Jay-Z & Nas beef. But to cut it short, I believe Nas is a better rapper than Tupac. None of Tupacs albums can even come close to Illmatic, not CLOSE.

[@rtc7788]

Alex Stafonis Nas' album sales at his best couldn't even sell half of what Tupac's albums were selling in the mid 90's. Not saying Nas is a bad rapper, but if he's so good and above Tupac level, why is he hardly relevant now?

[@DontDrinkthatstuff]

+Alex Stafonis I actually agree with rtc, snoop told the story later on and Nas just kept telling pac I love you man I love you. Even snoop admitted Pac had nas punked

[@semperxian]

some people dont know this but they were definitely fans of each other, outlawz said that Pac made Me and My Girlfriend after he heard I Gave You Power, he loved that song and was happy after they talked on sept 4th. Nas was making the Street Dreams video in vegas the next week, they were gonna meet up then

[@riyahworld]

AWW I LOVE NAS, PAC TOO YO! MAN CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THEY ACTUALLY COLLABORATED ON A TRACK MAN? THAT SHIT WOULDA CAUSED DAMAGE!!! :D

[@yoedgar17]

I also seen the interview of tupac on the house of blues. tupac said basically he stepped to him but said don't get caught up in this east coast west coast beef it aint about you, we love you we got love for you. So im guessing what happened after at the mtv awards was because people were talking mess saying nas was dissing pac. And here we have nas saying that people talk a lot but don't believe what they say. They had love for each other.

[@BBell1988]

that I said about him but put it past us. We're powerful people and let's move ahead. We shook hands and said we'll talk on a later note. Three days later he was gone and we never really got a chance to talk."

[@yoedgar17]

@jignaeri Nas said he stepped to tupac and suge so go check out that interview of Suge knight on Nas. Suge also says tupac stepped to Nas but he also says something else, they had a cool conversation. Which means they probably did have that conversation. So basically idk if the interview with snoop is a different occasion or maybe a lie. I think it's the same occasion but Nas didn't bother to address Snoop.

[@gfunkgfunk]

It took Nas two years to finish Illmatic. It took 2pac two weeks to finish All Eyes On Me & 7 days to finish Makaveli (took Pac 3 dayz to record the whole album and a extra 4 dayz for production to finish the rest. Regardless I got Nas as #2 on my all-time list.

Crazy thing is if these two got together Nas would probably be tupacs right hand man on the east coast Nas n Pac's styles are very similar

[@joetotheflow]

+JAY OH Similar style? No. Nas was way more intricate and lyrically better. 2Pac had a more simple style, he put his message on a platter, was easier to absorb and understand. Would they collaborate good? Yes, but not because they have similar style, more so because they usually rap about similar subjects and both are great storytellers.

[@michaela5811]

they both cant touch each other, they share similarities but what pas got nas dont, and what nas got pac didnt. PERIOD. the poetic flow is similar though.

[@blakewittenberg8937]

All of you are trippin. Tupac and Nas were very similarly styled, neither being punchline rapper but proved they could be, and both really preferring to paint a picture or tell a story. Tupac is criminally underrated as a lyricist.

[@deafbyhiphop]

[@Kingjd87]

Nas was younger than Tupac, Nas dropped Illmatic when he was 18. Illmatic to this day is considered the greatest rap album of all time by many hip-hop outlets (magazines, websites, rappers). Give the man his credit and stop slobbing Pac...Nas was the better lyricist, by far.

We wanted them to tell us what was up because we like his music but he can't be in my town dissing me. I stepped to him and the Tupac said,"No I'm from New York. Nas...me and you like this. Don't ever let anything come between us" and he told me that I'm going to hear a lot of things that he said about me and he's going to hear a lot of things.....

@fhab525 He didnt say he wanted to, he said he could have. The reason he was mad in that interview was because he was hearing that Nas was talking bad about him. So hes reflecting saying he could have rushed him( being mad about thinking nas was talking behind his back.) They never meet before the house of blues so why would tupac rush him for no reason? What happened was tupac meet nas at the house of blues and said dont get into the east/west beef because were not aiming it at you.

[@AndrewsDataCorner]

Dude, illmatic. Pac has not one album superior to illmatic... in Mcing!! Dude Pac was a revolutionary period. But it was not off the strength of his dexterity on the mic. His soul, his passion, his voice, his energy... highly emotive and inspirational. Nasir is the far superior MC of the two but NO rapper influenced the urban world like pac, you're right on that. Which brings me back to subjectivity. ILLMATIC is the thriller of hip hop and then some, imo

[@grinchoi1]

[@erfbgu]

And it's evident in both's word play. Nas rhymes are more complex, abstract and well thought out. Pac's thing was connecting with his listener and his rhymes were more straight to the point. This doesnt make one greater than the other. Pac could tap in to the listeners emotion likely better than any other. But Nas is the better writer. And as I've said before Pac is bigger than rap. I feel like he just used rap as a platform to reach the "lost souls".

[@fhab525]

on "When Thugz Cry" Pac says HE stepped up to Nas , he saw him alone and Nas said "it aint no problem" and shook hands , Pac said he was deep with his boys he could've rushed Nas had he wanted to, but they chopped it up. so Nas just lied about the part where he say Pac shook HIS hand thats it. but before Pac died he did squash the "beef" with Nas and was about to remove the Nas disses from "Killuminati" but he died.

Yeah, that's why Nas did a tribute on stage wearing a Tupac bandana and Tupac shirt rapping "Dear Mama". Yeah, that's why Nas made a remix to Thugz Mansion. Yeah, that's why Nas got a similar Thug Life shaped Tattoo on his stomach and was swagger jacking Pac's style in "hate me now" and "Did you ever think" cause he lost respect for Pac. Same dude who admitted he cried when he heard Pac diss him in Against All Odds.

Also, that diss "kiss goodnight" Biggie is just throwing lyrical jabs at the end of the day Hit Em Up was better because Pac brought Facts to the Table he knew how to go to war Biggie mentioned benz and tvs in his car in that diss come on fam but I agree with you I like em both.
