Let's be real. Common is lyrically ahead of Nas (AND THAT IS SAYIN A LOT)

[blzd mc]

Common returned this year with arguably one of the best hip-hop albums this year and his best work in years. Be's lyricism is so far ahead of the average rapper that it ain't even funny. And his song on Late Registration, On My Way Home, in my opinion, is lyrically the song of the year.

Nas is arguably one of the top 3 rappers of all-time. He is known for basically being a rapping poet. He is deep with the lyrics and writes many good songs.

But when u put the two head to head, Common takes a dukie all over Nas with the lyrics.

That is just my opinion. Speak on it.

Yeah, let's argue though, in a calmly fashion, state why you believe Nas is nicer.

Hippie Rap Sucks

Common got skills, but he ain't seeing Nas

Illmatic alone >>>> Common's career

And Street's Disciple shiits on Be

There's a reason Common couldn't even blow up even with Kanye producing for him and doing his hooks. Dude is boooooooriiiiing.

Common = Celine Dion of Rap

You must be crazy, at best Common is level...this aint Jay-Z v Nas, Com's got lyrics for dayz but he's not fukkin wit these..(mostly unreleased)

Blaze a 50
So Serious w/AZ

Stay Chizzelled (3 Nas verses)
Last Words
It Ain't Hard To Tell
Street Dreams remix
Millennium Thug
NY State of Mind
Star Wars
Small World

Word. Illmatic is nicer than Com's catalogue. I might have gone over the top by using the word 'lightyear'. But I still think he is farther up on Nas.

"Revolution ain't a game, it's anotha name, for life fighting, some one who stay in they corner like Mike Tyson"- I think that's the quote of the year

See I think the problem with Com is that he had that phase where he put out a lot of weak records. Nas was pretty consistent in that he continuosly put out at least one track that was listenable and he had all those unreleased cuts that are hot. But what Com could've done instead of those records is crazy to think about.

Com's lyrcism is way out there. That Chi-City and the Be Intro are just bananas. Besides, some of those tracks are not that insane.

aiite. Damn so I guess I'm the only one that thinks this.

I made this thread cause of some other thread where heads were arguing what would happen if Nas and Com started beefing on wax. I think Com would crush him.

its no need to argue this cause your wrong close thread.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. They'd fuccin go over the top with the lyricism if they battled
