He basically made the greatest Hiphop album ever that changed the whole rap style, people started using his album as a symbol that they idolize and try to make their albums sound atleast like it.@@mamadamin2433
NAS has the lyricism of Rakim, the knowledge of KRS-ONE, the awareness of Chuch D, the metaphors of Big Daddy Kane, the wordplay of Kool G Rap, the storytelling of Slick Rick and the longevity of LL Cool J! And he's the only rapper I know that has an apprenticeship (Harvard University) with one of the most, if not the most prestigious University in the world!! And he's still not done putting his mark on the game!!!
First time hearing NY state of mind pt1....i couldnot believe that this man exists...i threw everything out the window...Em was my fav but when i heard Nas...i thought no one comes close or will perhaps.
Man nas really took 90s and 80s rappers best features and combined it into his rap rakim, ll cool j, kool g, kane, chuck d, krs, and so many more legenda
