Nas "Lost Tapes"-more like "Lost Fans"
I TO DA GEEZY:
I suppose most NAS fans(just as myself in the not-so-far past) tend to miss his main weakness, many people are\were trying to define what is it NAS does when he reaches his lowest points, some called it "falling short on trying to create crossover singles"<< (B.S tired- reviewer remark), others said "incosistentcy"<< (too generalizing )etc. NAS's main- most practical problem is in his writing, not as a whole but at one very important criteria without which his tracks will remain unprofesionally critisized....NAS's problem is in lyrical structuring and construction, not in punchlines, not in imagery,neither in topicz he pickz(it never is) and of course not in his truelly amazing vocal skillz, his flawz are mainlly in the process of building and forming his poemz and songs...He simply is having hard time in expressing himself wholisticlly, when his material starts to sound as if it was rapped by a group of people meerly conected one to the other....yea, with time NAS learned how to polish things up and how to make it smoother, how to gimmick it up in nice so called "deep"-package reps that apealed to heads that gladlly recognized all of NASz enormous potensial and existing tallentz...

S.G.V., according to your definition, i guess Nas is not an MC. However, to say someone is not an MC becasue they don't freestyle all the time is like saying Shaq isn't a basketball player cuz he can't dribble or Stockton isn't a basketball player cuz he can't dunk.
Bottom line, whether you like Nas or not, at least half the time he talks about something. Sure, he doesn't have a ton of emotion or whatever, but he writes songs that say something. All these so-called freestyle artists have a tough time making a good song, as do a lot of battle mc's.

i dont agree with the shaq and stockton analogies....basket ball wasnt about dribbling or dunking when it was first invented it was about gettin the ball in the hoop...hip hop was all about freestyling off the top when it was invented....but i think dialated peoples got some coo shit...supernat got good shit...chino got some tight albums....gift of gab does some good shit...and those are some freestyle/battle emcees....if u base it on canibus then of course...but theres plenty of great freestyle emcees that make great music with things to say

Actually, when HIPHOP was invented, it was about b-boying and sitting with some turntables in the park man (heard of Kool Herc?). THe rapping thing came later.........
