Nas is the most overrated rapper of all time.
I think that Nas is the new Rakim. Rakim was the best rapper in the late 80's. For years it became fashionable to consider him the greatest rapper ever unquestioned. It was like blasphemy to say otherwise. The same goes for Nas now. He hasn't had a hit in years and many have passed him lyrically and put out better projects. I skimmed through the new album out of curiosity. It's light. Nothing groundbreaking. Nothing that made me want to come out of retirement and write. To each his own tho. Keep the I don't like anything narrative going if it makes you feel better. I stand by what I said tho.
who has passed Nas lyrically?lyricism has gone the opposite way since the 90s...it has been severely dumbed down so much so in fact that people actually think that Kendrick is an elite MC
