Kurupt's first 10 years... hands down.

But Nas has been more consistent thorugh the years. I like Kurupt better though.

They are both inconsistent, just inconsistent in different ways.  Like for Kurupt he went from being flawless in the mid-90's, then lost a step but still dope from 97-2001, to totally falling off the face of the fuccing Earth...

...Nas on the other hand, started with a classic, then laid bricks until the Jay-Z beef and his mom dying produced classics with Stillmatic and God's Son, only to fall off again, then come back again strong with Hip-Hop Is Dead and Distant Relatives.... only to lose his footing again with his new album...  (not to mention he has loads of classic unreleased tracks like "Amongst Kings" and "Darkness" and Lost Tapes and other scattered leaks, etc...

Point is, for Kurupt it went from bad to worst, while for Nas he has bounced back and forth throughout his career with classics and bricks.

VOTED FOR NAS

Life Is Good was a very enjoyable album, don't know what's not to like about it.

nas the better overall solo artist and a far more consistent lyricist, but i'd rather bump some prime kurupt

Yeah, that sums it up well. Just sucks that Kurupt's prime was so short relative to his entire career.

That's 11 or so tracks vs 11 or so albums from Nas


prime kurupt is anything he did during his first run with death row...much more than 11 tracks

Ok 2 albums worth of tracks vs 11 or so albums :D

so then tell me, why did you feel the need to ask something so incredibly stupid? talking for the sake of having something to say is not the business.

I said if you think prime Kurupt > Nas then you must think his best tracks are better than Illmatic. Its not what I think
