If you think Ice Cube is better than Nas you are full of shit. Nas would kill Ice Cube in a battle. Common killed Ice Cube in a battle. Common>Ice Cube. Nas>Ice Cube for sure.I disagree. Who cares about a battle? Look at these battle rappers who can't put out albums, i e Supernatural. Besides, No Vaseline is the best diss track ever made I could give two shits if Common wrote a better diss track or would beat him in a freestyle batte, I'm talking about who's the better artist. If you're going to talk about subject matter, Ice Cube has that on lock. Ice Cube has rapped about everything under the sun including gangsta shit, party tracks, race relations, political stuff, he's tackled the subject of religion in his songs, education, story telling, the east coast west coast beef, diss tracks, drug dealing from a story telling and critical standpoint, the LA Riots, Korean Storeowners, sellout rappers, Uncle Toms, brothas at concerts not acting right, the perils of gangbanging, need I continue?I'm not taking away from artists like Nas or Common, they're great artists, but neither of them have had the impact on the game or have taken the risks that Ice Cube has taken from a lyrical standpoint. Neither has taken the heat that Ice Cube has, or has tackled controversial subject matter with the same ferocity that Ice Cube did in his prime. I do give Nas props for stepping up and taking on some controversial subject matters recently (i e My Country, Coon Picnic) and we need more of that in hip hop.

How the hell isn't the War disc not a classic?
Quote from: Citizen-Y on January 25, 2005, 05:18:16 PMHow the hell isn't the War disc not a classic? Because if you go low enough to call that a classic then the word loses all meaning. Rakim would have 5, EPMD would have 5, Nas would have 6, Gang Starr would have 4, etc. It might be a good album but sure as hell ain't a classic.
How many MCs have dropped 2-4 classics in a career??AMW= ClassicDeath Certificate= Classic x 2Predator= Close to classicWSC Bow Down= ClassicWho could argue this???

i'd rate Quik higher than Pac too. i can just relate more to Quik's music than to Tupac's...i also have much more respect for Quik as a musician first and foremost, he's a brilliant musician that just happens to rap... if you personally like 2pac more, it doesn't bother me any, you're entitled to your own opinion
