Nas is 1 for me. It’s crazy just listening to this takes me back, this was an erra that if you aint live it, it’s hard to explain how impactful it was.
When Nas came out it was so much competition, he changed the game. ILLMATIC set the bar of spittin super high thts y its such a CLASSIC. He was young af kickin mean bars about life. Nobody compares to the #GOD. He's in his OWN LANE...#1 MC
What people don't know is that NAz was REALLY young for how deep his lyrics were. He was discovered around 19 I think and Illmatic dropped when he was only 21. Now compare his words to modern rappers like Da Baby. CHOPPA CHOPPA CHOPPA! wtf?
So many Iconic artists of his time, which is the most lyrically enriched time in hip hop, looked up to NAS. I mean ICONIC without saying any names. Artists older in age looked up to this then young man as the future of hip hop. If anyone asked rappers in New York who was that guy, they are spitting this guys name out their mouth without hesitation!
Nas #1 on my list of rappers!!! Nobody can match his complex wordplay!!! Eminem is more lyrical & funnier but Nas is a poet & a storyteller!!! God gifted him!!! He is one of a kind: Nas is the 🐐!!! Tupac even studied Nas on the night he was killed he was listening to Nas album It Was Written!!! Tupac was so enamored and intimidated by him; I don't blame him!!!
If I did a top 5 it'd probably be - Nas - Biggie - Em - Bone Thugs - Lord's of the underground If you haven't ever heard the song "I gave you power" by Nas then I'd recommend that.
Technically, Rakim may be better but... Overall Nas is greater. More material. More subject matter. More reality based. Greater career. Greater moments. Greater features. Greater versatility. Greater expression.
Yeah that beat is fire! It does contain a sample of Human Nature by Michael Jackson and was produced by Large Professor from the group Main Source. He's produced a lot of other classic songs and is also a legend in hip hop.
From his 1991 Demo Tape; "Nas Will Prevail","Everything Is Real" & "On The Real"(Feat. Kamikaze,Akinyele & Cormega) "Live at the BBQ" - Main Source (Feat. Nas,Fatal & Large Professor) "Back to the Grill" - Mc Serch (Feat. Red Hot,Nas,Chubb Rock) Nas is the Greatest to Ever Do It,King of New York,QB's Finest
Illmatic is top 3 album of all time. Easily. That. Ready to Die. And 36 chambers in my opinion. Illmatic goes hard af and he was 19 when he dropped this.
As dope as this song remains til this day. You really had to be around that time to understand the context of hip-hop as whole, to truly appreciate this masterpiece. Nobody was rhyming like this yet. Nas was considered the 2nd coming of Rakim because he took lyrical complexity up another level. To where it is even til this day. Nas said it himself..." I am the truest, name a rapper that I ain't influence"..✊🏾
Nasty Nas Escobar the G, the Godson, the G.O.A.T! The greatest rapper ever alive or dead to ever put a pen/pencil to paper or touch a mafuckin microphone! PERIOD!!! 2. Biggie 3. Tupac 4. Eminem 5. Jay-Z
Top 5 (No Order): Nas Andre 3000 Eminem Kendrick Lamar 2Pac Honorable Mentions: Biggie Rakim Jay-Z *Jadakiss (I rock with Big L, but longevity puts Jada in my top 10) Lil Wayne
Very good ear finding "Human Nature" in there. People arguing their favorite rapper is kinda silly, but lots of people have Nas #1, and that is understandable. Illmatic beats are great, but some of his beats suck musically, and is desperately in need of some remixes.
Nas 1 for me comfortably. But he’s 100% solidified as top 5 in terms of impact, MC skill, longevity etc
Facts I hear most people say that
Your top three, Nas not number one, how could you post that?

Nas is 1 for me. It’s crazy just listening to this takes me back, this was an erra that if you aint live it, it’s hard to explain how impactful it was.
So true
He my favorite of all time. I'm an old head, been a Nas fan since 1994. Most serious hip hop heads my age got him at least top 5 all time.
Greatest hip hop song in history. Sonically perfect. Nothing out of place. Every bar hits with clarity and impact.
+ a perfect final song for the album. By the time you get to this song you already know. Nas rapping the obvious that he's the next 🐐.
Nas THE best to ever do it untouchable. 🐐
Nas is No.1 it ain't hard to tell.
When Nas came out it was so much competition, he changed the game. ILLMATIC set the bar of spittin super high thts y its such a CLASSIC. He was young af kickin mean bars about life. Nobody compares to the #GOD. He's in his OWN LANE...#1 MC
30 years later, this slaps. Nas was like 19 here already writing ahead of his time
On of the greatest lyrical songs ever
This displayed his poetic abilities which made him my favorite rapper back in 94 " vocals are squeezed glocks..."
Nas is # 1…🐐
Nas is the GOAT in my opinion.
Nas is number one and is not even something to debate People can have their opinions but cant deny facts.
Nas GOAT#1
What people don't know is that NAz was REALLY young for how deep his lyrics were.

Now compare his words to modern rappers like Da Baby. CHOPPA CHOPPA CHOPPA! wtf?
OG Rap: "But what he saw started to make him cringe and stutter, 'cause he was staring into the eyes of his own mother."
Nu Rap: "wap"
#1 The GOAT
Nas the most skilled rapper of all time. Really. He is.
He was 19 when he dropped this...a hip hop prodigy
Nas is top 5 of all lyricists that ever existed..when he dropped illmatic, he was like 19. True lyrical genius
So many Iconic artists of his time, which is the most lyrically enriched time in hip hop, looked up to NAS. I mean ICONIC without saying any names. Artists older in age looked up to this then young man as the future of hip hop.

If I did a top 5 it'd probably be
- Nas
- Biggie
- Em
- Bone Thugs
- Lord's of the underground
If you haven't ever heard the song "I gave you power" by Nas then I'd recommend that.
He was the answer to what NYC needed at that time
Nas the Goat! Simple
Nas is #2 on my list of greatest of all time . Right behind The God MC Rakim Allah.
Technically, Rakim may be better but... Overall Nas is greater. More material. More subject matter. More reality based. Greater career. Greater moments. Greater features. Greater versatility. Greater expression.
