Why does Nas

[1DollarShort]

lol...

NaS is legendary.
BIG is legendary.
Tupac is legendary.
Eminem is legendary.

Their all mainstream (known across the world)

So... what would Lupe Fiasco be? In my opinion; Legendary.

But not many people know of Lupe, and I would think giving someone the Status of 'Legendary', would mean they are VERY popular.

Naw, just never got the reason for all the hype around Nas, his first album was a classic but since then he hasn't put out anything that would constitute Legend status. Jay Z>>>>Nas

But, Black Thought isn't that lyrically gifted. Alot of the rhymes he has are shit i've been heard or are recycled.

edit; wait before you jump on me for saying he's not that lyrically gifted..I meant to say...AS OF LATE, his lyrics aren't up to par with what I expected. but he murdered Dear God 2.0

Wow Sheesh Shut Up
Not That Lyrically Gifted You Effin *Sees Edit* I See; But Everybody Recycles Their Shit And Nobody Keeps Their Steez After That Long A Time

Well that's the mainstream rappers of today.

Nas came out when music was real. He sees that hip hop is dead. Even nas himself is not as hot as he use to be.

Why is this? Cuz hip hop has lost it's soul and its hunger and it is up to the new generation to fix that. Those who are 20+ they have already lost it. Sorry to say but you will not be like what is about to happen in 2012. (I predicted a long time ago (6 years ago) that a new wave of real artist will come up out that slums on this earth. They will disguise themselves as kids but they are actually gods to this rap game. They will be around 15-19 years of age.)

Shut Up Mohn
You're Crossing The Line Between Partly Making Sense And Insanity
I Am Quite Sure That NaS Could Copy The Business Sense Of Jigga The Fallen Off Nigga To Make Boundless More Money But I Doubt He Would Want To Do That (In The Same Way Anyways)

More like Nas wanted to be a commercially successful rapper like Jay Z, but nobody bought his albums even when he tried to put out radio friendly songs. "Oochie Wally," was his top charting track and it was garbage, he even makes controversial album names in an attempt to create some buzz with "Hip Hop is Dead," and his "Untitled," album was gonna be called Nigger. Nas is nowhere near as versatile as Jay Z, Jay can spit lyrical shit with the best of them when he needs to, but he can make a hit and sell a million units too.

when did album sales become a sign of versatility?

i mean i know you like Scarface, right? Solja Boy will prolly sell more albums than him...so leave sales out of it.

If I Ruled the World is much more commercially viable than Oochie Wally, as is One Mic. Both of which did NOT sell out artistically...and Oochie Wally was on a QB compilation album...not a NaS album
