Is Nas intelligence level greater than 50's?

[Notorius SLP]

Nas seems to rhyme from an intellectual level moreso than Fif, but does that make him smarter? Is having booksmarts more valuable than business savy?
Even though Fif could have never spit a rhyme in reverse "Rewind" as good as Nas, he did create more business opportunities for himself than Nas. I aint no 50 d!ckrider, but he's the more intellegent mc imo.
Note:Nas is doper lyrically, but sometimes he tends to "sound" smarter than he actually is. Example: "Rockefeller died of AIDS that was the end of his chapter" (note: William and John Rockefeller died in 1937, and 1922..AIDS wasn't even concieved yet...Rock Hudson did however died of AIDS)

[gawdbondie]

:huh:

[JunkYard AkbaR]

Yup

Nas is basically a backpacker nerd with a thugged out appearance.

[gawdbondie]

Example: "Rockefeller died of AIDS that was the end of his chapter" (note: William and John Rockefeller died in 1937, and 1922..AIDS wasn't even concieved yet...Rock Hudson did however died of AIDS)

50 is probably smarter then Nas based of his business decisions.
but the line from ether was a reference to one of jay's friends, not john d.

But Nas is smarter of making music and has a conscience and supports true hip-hop and not himself.
He is a human being who sees the world as it is today for the needs it has today, unlike 5-0 who never cared and never will care about anybody but his own self and gay-unit.

on an intellectual level wouldn't you expect someone who sold 10 million records to have more business opportunities than someone who sold 3 million max.

I been seeing alot of kids latching on to this Rockefeller died of aids **** :laugh: but ask yourself why didn't Jay mention this on any of his replies to Nas? he could've ethered him right? :hmm:

[N*E*R*D*]

Possessing a great business acumen doesn't mean he is smarter than anybody, it just means he makes sound business decisions.

[rapandhiphopfan]

Possessing a great business acumen doesn't mean he is smarter than anybody, it just means he makes sound business decisions.

But music and lyrics are the other and nas has them.

[NOTaFreeEmailAccount]

50 is far smarter when it comes to brainwashing people and making them think that he's smarter.

[MrInformation]

50 aint smart....Chris Lighty does all the thinking over there..

smh... you know which rockafeller hes talkin about right?

[Quality-Street]

LOL @ this thread.

The answer is obvious too. 50 is a far smarter person than Nas is in pretty much all aspects. He sees things with a far greater clarity than Nas, he knows what to say and when to say it, how to act, how to run a business make other people rich, get beautiful women. Basically hes very conscious of himself and knows how to play the "power" game. Nas ? Well hes the epitome of a pseudo, comes out with things that idiots would deem "intelligent" but in reality dislay the intellectual level of 3 year old down syndrome sufferer. Makes moves like a complete imbocele, just look at how his crew are all poor azz bums and he is working for the guy that left the condom in his car seat.

Put it this way. When you are looking at peoples lives and trying to see how you could use them as an influence in your own actions, would you choose Curtis "Power" Jackson, or Nasir "Jiggas My Boss" Jones.

This is a no brainer. Just like nas.

SMH at you calling someone an imbecile, but spelling it wrong. What an idiot!

[ImaProFessionaL]

Yeaaaah because not being able to spell one word that realistically you never ever read makes you an idiot.

Ok.

Nazz grabs a dictionary spits a couple big words and he is a revolutionary. He's a fraud.

but you spelled imbecile wrong again...and by the way as a business 50 is deff smarter, but nas is at least trying to spread a positive message to the people, something 50 has not been able to achieve yet, since he is a grown man acting like a 10 year old...

[Sunzoo aka LC]

smh@ the dumb sh1t n1ggas argue over on here


anyway, they are both smart individuals for different reasons, 50 is of course the better business man, and when he speaks, you can tell that while he may have a ghetto mentality, like most drug dealers he's actually pretty sharp, he says and does a lot of ignorant sh1t, but a lot of it is calculated, to get homos like you all to make threads like these, which is part of his "brilliance"

nas isn't the most articulate person on earth, but when he's rhyming he says some things that you can ponder on about for days after you heard them, and i don't mean just the text book "hey i read this they other day i'ma rap about it" lines, but actual thoughts and wisdom, questions...he seems like a very wise, deep, thoughtful individual who doesn't have the greatest oratory skills, there is more than one way to be "smart"

either way, they are both smarter than most of the idiots in this thread, myself included, seeing as how they are both millionares having goofy ass kids argue over who's smarter, while they collect more money

Who actually thinks Nas is smart and really who cares either way? Music is entertainment you want knowledge read a book.

[K3mani]

people are smart for different reasons....

i personally have never heard nas say anything smart...he has strong opinions about society and the government and broadcasts them, while 50 has strong views on the reality of his and others situations. He then uses his intelligence to manipulate his situation and others to get what he wants....

so essentially, nas reads and observes a lot and tell you what he thinks about it, without offering any solutions while 50 reads and observes a lot and then does something about it using his business savvy and overall smarts

[illnouns]

They're both rich and successful, so that tells me that they're BOTH smart. Stop trying to compare these two brothers and just enjoy their music.

Jay-z is way smatter, 50 Cent follows Jay-z's blueprint, someone already done a thread putting out how 50 copied every move Jay made inthe game.

There is an interview with 50 talking about how he got the reebok shoe deal,the story goes like this, he heard about Jay-z getting a sneaker deal with reebok, so 50's managment called up reebok enquiring about the deal, then they ended up giving 50 his own sneaker deal

isn't that what you are supposed to do though? take advantage of the doors opened by those before you...jay-z, as a "brand" followed in the footsteps of n1ggas like MC hammer, somebody had to lay the road down so others could drive on it...

[6FiggieNiggie]

But Nas is smarter of making music and has a conscience and supports true hip-hop and not himself.


how does he support true HIP-HOP? nas is just as selfish as jay-z, 50, snoop, etc.

DING DONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heads act like jordan is responsible for all his endorsement deals, you have to always go back to the agent.

[Kingofkings]

50 is a smarter businessman than nas, nas is a better rapper whats the deal? and according todays standards a wise business man is wiser than a wise rapper.
I mean Its like saying oh nas is smarter than Bill Gates, Gates could never make illmatic. You dumb fuccks.
You can even hear it in their interviews, nas has never made a smart interview. He has got clever songs. but thats where it ends (no hate) And nas stans please dont start with Jesus and mahatma ghandi talk here.

Are you kidding, I Rather listen to music and focus on skills and lyrics again than focus on money

and nas is about making music for the people then more money

[rapandhiphopfan]

how does he support true HIP-HOP? nas is just as selfish as jay-z, 50, snoop, etc.

Cause he focuses on making music for the people and intelligent people than making music for pop rap fans and teenyboppers.

[THE KID MERO]

being the smartest rapper is like being a fastest one legged sprinter.

you might shyt on all the other one legged sprinters, but when a niqqa wit two legs race you its over. Rap in general is pretty ignant and just because nahsee says some shyt about marcus garvey in a bar don't make him professor cornell west. Oh and 50 is just a dumb niqqa, period.
