you aren't going to get a fair result here are you..

west coast vs east coast.. on a west coast forum...


nas has had a bunch more albums, but been through a dodgy phase... whereas Ras Kass hasn't had a chance to...  7/8 platinum albums vs 2... did they even go plat?.. hmmf..  but it aint about sales..

still i'm voting for ras kass, and i'm gonna say that a lot of ya'll are sleeping on rasassination too.. ;) :P

Oh man, Iwas listening to Rasssassination this morning and thats what inspired this thread! 8) I know alot of West Coast heads that dig nas! nas in my opinion is ras kass's west coast counterpart. both have a revolutionary vision. both have stumbled with bad moves in thier career. remember strictly based on who is the most gifted lyricist. not impact or accomplishment..........


and If you havent heard rassassination do yourself a favor and cop that shit. the critics shit on that album without giving it a chance. :-\

Voted: Nas

Ras Kass is more complicated and uses a bigger vocabulary but Nas writes better songs and gets his points across more clearly.  He's more versatile, he can battle ("Ether"), write consience and political inspired raps ("What Goes Around", "My Country"), storytell ("Undying Love"), make concept records ("Book Of Rhymes"), emotional/personal songs ("Dance"), and so on.  He has a much better voice too.

CalebOhio: I think i can speak for many others when i say my favorite rap artists are white but i still want black artists to be dope. they are chosing not to be. that wouldn't be a likely believe held in a white supremacist group. I want Nas to deliver evertime but he doesn't every time Sage does. so Sage gets my $15 regardless or his status. fuck your status perception and labels you use.

Nas.

Ras is more lyrical but he doesn't know how to write captivating and memorable songs like Nas can.

I voted Ras Kass, for the reason that he is the most lyrically advanced, and among the smartest and gifted lyricists ever, along with Pharoahe Monch, (a few others).
He have several layers in his music, and hidden messages/meanings, and metaphors all over his tracks.

Nas is in another class imo, he's not as deep as Ras, don't have the same vocabulary, and he comes across as somewhat confused sometimes.
All the Jesus/Allah shit is also annoying, that's one of his biggest cons, from my viewpoint.
However, he's better commecially, makes catchier songs, and is probably smarter business-wise, and gets his points better across. (When he's not talking about beef or religion)
He have made more albums/music, and have worked with a bigger specter of artists.

Nas career has been far more successful than Ras, but overall I still think that Ras is better, he just haven't been able to fulfill his potential with his career.
