cube

Dumbed down or what.
-
Both have social commentary in their rhymes. Cube was more political early in his career. Both went through this mafioso don type stage, Escobar for Nas and the Don Mega for Cube, both's lyrics suffered during this stage and their weakest albums came out around this time. They are both 2 different mcs. Tough call man.

nas is a better lyricist no doubts to me....cube is a beast and at his peak was considered amongst the best, nas has kept relavent througout his whole career and still to this day his lyrics and style of writing is so sick whiles other writers are no outdated (kurupt) his shit is still poppin, nas is a beast, best rapper alive....cube at his peak was a monster and still is sick, immma huge cube but nas is the better of the two imo.....though nobody can deny some of cubes classics.....
shit this post just made me realise how much sick music these niggaz made...imma have to go bump some nas/cube shit later

cube, duh

Cube

nas is better lyrically but Ice Cube is a better artist overal and the best rapper alive 8)
-
Wow ...hold up ...Nas takes this for sure. yeah cube was sick but nas has the creativity cube wouldn't even think about. Nas is far superior to me and i am from L.A...
-
Nas is deeper, but you can't name a subject that Cube hasn't rapped on. Those 2 are the best rappers ever, doesn't matter to me what order you put them in.
-
Cube by a little, Nas is a great lyricist but he his extremely overrated because there's this perception that he's on another level lyrically from other MCs...mainly because of Illmatic. Nas is better with wordplay but Cube is the better storyteller....Cube also has more substance to his rap, although Nas is not at all far behind.
-
Nas by a loooong shot LYRICALLY, but Cube is the most accomplished rapper ever.

NaS is definently the better lyrisist...i dont know how that one is being disputed. ice cube has very basic lyrics. befroe peopel start hatign on me, im not calling cube whack, i think OVERALL he is a better and more entertaining rapper than Nas. theres only one nas album i really bump (it was written), the rest i dont dig at all.
nas is the better lyrisist though.

ICE CUBE

Ice Cube doesnt use the wordplay Nas does...but he uses his lyrics to tell a story...listen to Growin Up from Laugh Now Cry Later. So while you may think they're basic, they really arent.

I don't think it's fair to campare such different rappers, but what lyrical_g, d-nice and dutch master said is pretty accurate
-
Nas is probably the better Lyricists But Cube's subject matter/topics appeal more to me and I still like his "direct" way of expressin' his minds. Plus he is a good storyteller.
But like some other dudes said it's unfair to compare them, they're styles are to different. The only thing in common is that they're the best rapper of their coast
-
Nas.
-
Thats a hard question. I go with Cube.
-
Cube off course,Nas do more classic rap
-
Ice Cube
-
LMAO! If we are just talking lyrics then Nas EASILY
-
Nas nudges it with complexity in lyrics, but that is all he really has on cube and that isnt a drastic over-lap, its more of a drafting race than anything. Cube has better albums, delivery/flow, and overall is the more versatile and better artist. Period, lyrics are one thing but as an overall artist there is more to account than just "lyrics". fuck what you heard.
and lmao. you can compare them simpily because they bring forth similarities
similarity1 - their both rappers
similarity2 - their both veterans
excedra. how can you bitch about a comparison? the whole point of comparison is to compare different things to flush out what they actually do have in common and how they measure up with contrast.
