Mega murdered this. Nas was nice too. Nas was laid back and smooth and was painting pictures but Mega was straight spitting darts. I wish they would work today.
You can tell that Nas was bent at the time。He learned from his past mistakes。Plus he was not freestyling。He stepped back and let Cormega shine。Mega is talented and I love all of his work。But Nas is Nas。Nas has the complete package。
nas was jealous of mega and got mentally thrown off when he ran out of writtens. mega's intelligence is unmatched, though i bet he was just trying to shine...not knowing he would OUTSHINE
Axel Minani nas learned from mega and mega helped him get better... thats why nas gif mega the most props on that cd... and that time mega was in.jail thats why they didnt make a song on illmatic
the term freestyle was meant to reference the context of the raps, freestyle just meant "not a song". Bars or verses that are taken out a song and rapped on to another beat/BPM, losses its initial context of being part of a song, making it more a showcase of their random lyrics and style, hence the term. In the 90s until the 2000s rappers did "freestyles" during press runs for their albums and most of them used verses from their upcoming projects.
Cormega is well underrated and will forever be one of the Illest MCs. However his whole flow is raw where as Nas is smooth and glides over the tracks and his delivery is on point.
Nas never hated on Mega. It was the company that both of them kept that fed them bullshit. Same with Prodigy. A lot of so called riffs could've been solved by eliminating certain people in their circles and actually hashing shit out face to face.
I rapped every Nas verse cause it ended up on an album...megas shit was off the top without question cause you never heard it again...Nas mad talented no question, but Mega heart stronger
that's not true, check out cormega "62 pick ups" you just dont know all the Mega verses because they aren't as iconic as the verses Nas spit from The Message that every hip hop head knows
Alec Waniak I know bro I'm really trying to figure out how he never blew. No one knows him down in dallas but whenever I show someone his music their blown away. I'm guessing his problems with nas had something to do with it
Mega never stumbled one time.smh the game over look how ready he was.Nas had the fire 🔥 too I got a long list for Queens.south side/ NC Curtflow_Dollaz
Cormega was already a legend in QB before Nas came out. Nas is a master lyricist but he is still mostly a studio rapper. Just check out that other freestyle with Nas and Akinele and you be the judge.
At this very moment I just realized they incorporated the storyline from Nas-The Message & put the character Black in the movie Belly then played out the scenario through the barbershop scene🤦🏿♂️
Gregory Ashley For real man like if every song ruining Foxey Brown verse was replaced by a dope Cormega verse the Firm's album could potentially be the GOAT
James Walton foxy kills shit listen to both unreleased firm la familias....shes dope...but I see what yall r sayin still about just the dudes in the limeup
Mega killed it!!! But Nas is a true artist n poet... N can't be touched ... Hes not the illest for raw freestyle he wack actually but pen to paper he the 🐐
@@Discipleofyeshuahamaschiach Nas way better than mega 😂 you have to go Album for album and verse for verse. Nas helped Cormega get the Def Jam deal so he never hated on Mega. Mega can’t make a radio song that’s why he got dropped
Cormega is one of my favourite mcs. This wasn't his best work, he comes across alot more poetic on his tracks, go listen to the saga remix, endangered species, fallen soldiers and definetely"I want it back" one of the best testaments to hip hop culture. But he compared himself to al Pacino 3 times in this freestyle.
Does ANYONE know where I can find the version of this where Mega raps over the Incarcerated Scarfaces beat around the part where he says "Feelin type warm relaxed in a steamin/ lounging like a falcon on a mountaintop in Egypt"? He also rhymes over The Bridge beat after Nas finishes. I need that shit!
50 said Nas hated anybody that would possibly outshine him in any way thats why he stayed solo most of his career. The mega thing is dumb tho.. i wish they wouldve really did more shit together and that whole deal didnt go sour. Queens could've ruled even harder but like the song goes... "QB POLITICS "
cormega was black balled cuz he didn't want to sign to steve stoute, that's the reason the firm flopped no cormega
Facts
Fucking did him dirty
The album went platinum it’s was Steve Stoute playing sides he only wanted nas to shine
Facts
2nd intro sad at X stages n lights
Mega murdered this. Nas was nice too. Nas was laid back and smooth and was painting pictures but Mega was straight spitting darts. I wish they would work today.

You could tell it just flows through mega effortlessly… dude just doesn’t stop

no megas like one of nas idols he was probably high not drunk

+harry snuts jealous how at 16 he was writing illmatic what was cormega doing
Axel Minani nas learned from mega and mega helped him get better... thats why nas gif mega the most props on that cd... and that time mega was in.jail thats why they didnt make a song on illmatic
nah man mega over nas lyrically , and mega is about what he Spitz nas was jealous cuz mega was a better real version of him. nas is nice though
Mega killed him....
you can tell mega was too gorey for the industry...and dont get me wrong, nas my fav rapper but sometimes mega's jus too iLL

pistol pete especially on that love is love

Mega was too much for Nas. Nas knew he wasn't built like his lyrics. Mega lived his. Nas never lived his rhymes.
@MrColeman83 tell me more
Thats freestyle thats 30% written and 70% off the top just high level lyrics!
Nah, most of Nas's verses ended up on It was Written: Message & Take it Blood & Nas is Coming.
yea, Cormega's stuff is from Montana Diary and 62 Pick Up
Flip the numbers around actually lol
nas and cormega sound good together i just wish these two would of had a better business situation back then according

Mega/loungin like a falcon on a mountain top in Egypt .... Damn smh total beast mode
Mega is the only person i can think of that bodies everyone hes on a song with. Nas, P, anyone
I mostly agree with that except the one track he did with pun, rhyme for rhyme. That track is just way too short
R.I.P. PRODIGY

The real hip hop era the 1990's & 1980's 👌🏿💯
I will forever remember this like it was yesterday mega blacked out and nas got busy to.

this got the vibes roaring at the house
Someone tell me why mega never blew up? He's one of the best ever to me but people now a days haven't even heard of him.
Alec Waniak I know bro I'm really trying to figure out how he never blew. No one knows him down in dallas but whenever I show someone his music their blown away. I'm guessing his problems with nas had something to do with it
+Jacob Aaron he got locked up n when he came back he was kicked out the firm. affirmitive action he was with the furm
+Jacob Aaron he had beef with nas
Ben O'Neill For real? people were on nas's dick that much that they ignored an artist as great as mega. His music is poetry
Ppl used to say Mega was way better than Nas but Mega didn't blow up
Loungin..like a falcon on a mountain top in Egypt 🏅 smooth
Yo this $h!t is hard as hell!!!! OMG this beautiful man.
Mega never stumbled one time.smh the game over look how ready he was.Nas had the fire 🔥 too I got a long list for Queens.south side/ NC Curtflow_Dollaz
Mega been the realer illa guy..his legacy is solidified..His name is etched on the pyramid walls 4ever
Can't tell Nas fans that though lol.
Cormega must really like Al Pacino I guess. Lol.

CORMEGA ALWAYS BEEN NICE
Never heard Nas spit this zooted, dude was off that purple haze for sure
Nas Timeless Classic 🔥💣👊🔝🎙

If you listen to this and say you didn't like it, you're lying
MEGA MONTANA is Str8 Fire!!!!!! Search for his other freestyles. Hes just too raw!!!!!!!!!
Time capsule
Imagine how much better the firm would've been if Nature replaced Foxy Brown instead of 'Mega

none of nas' rhymes were freestyle, they just repeats from his previous tracks
O Yup. All written
O HE SPIT THE MESSAGE TRACK SMH 🤦🏽♂️
To be fair most of Mega's were written as well taken from songs like Montanan Dairies or the Mega Funk freestyle.
Clout Lord it use to though
FREESTYLING IS NOT USING YOUR WRITTEN SHIT.
Classic
mega was wylin' out making threats on air to anyone dissing the firm,lol.
