r/nas

I seriously dont understand why lupe has been so inflammatory towards his fellow lyrcists. The kendrick shit i get, he's been getting asked about his opinions on the dude in basically every interview its okay to be bitter at that point, but the context for this doesnt even save him. He said this in a conversation about lyrcism and punchline rappers vs non punchline rappers, and then a fan brought up nas as an example of an elite lyrcist who isnt a punchline rapper, in which this was his response.

Edit: do wanna add, after research he has also been on record giving props to nas and saying he's on of his favourite rappers, just makes this statement even more confusing.

The Get On Down 25th Anniversary pressing, cassette and The Message 7” The CD 💿 is OG. An album that all these years late holds a conversation on is it better than iLLmatic, like Thriller and Off The Wall. 🍾🥂🫡💯🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

Nas is in rare form. Song sounds even better live.

So I'm on holiday and went to a record store to get some stuff. And I found these. KD3 means a lot to me since it was my second Nas album, only after Illmatic. Saw lots of other cool vinyls and CDs there. Really hyped to play it on the record player when I get back home.
