Nas...I know, I know, he is very inconsistent. But he's had the greatest East Coast album ever, "Illmatic", and 4 other solid records in "It Was Written", "Stillmatic", "Lost Tapes" and "God's Son."He's also done good work on guest appearances, and in groups like The Firm, stuff like that.-He's an intelligent rapper, like he says, he's a "rappers rapper".-His creativity in tracks like the one about his Gun on "It Was Written", probably gave 2pac his idea for "Me And My Girlfriend". Also, he comes out every now and then with a track like, "My Book of Rhymes", that is really creative and pushes the envelop lyrically, and conceptually. -What really made him great was when he came back from his wack Nas Escobar phase and dropped "Stillmatic". That's when he really reclaimed the thrown. Tracks like Poison ("What Goes Around Comes Around"), "One Mic", "Yur The Man".. .these are classic Nas tracks, introspective, lyrical.-Nas is a great lyricist, and he's still around, holdin it down today, when everyone was gets away from the lyrics, Nas is always the rapper who is still mainstream, and still puts 100% into his lyrics.

What was the song called from STILLMATIC where Nas rapped the whole song backwards?

BIG was amazing, he was one of those rappers like pac who would just grow and get better with each album, shame he had to go, opposite of most rappers like snoop who decline with each album
how come nobody has nominated Big Punmaybe not the best, but he is one of the top artists from the east
