      @@Taku-oz6pj I’m from Detroit, same place as the legendary producer J-Dilla. So if you like hip-hop or Motown there’s a lot of cool record stores to check out. The sand dunes are very cool to see as well in Michigan. NYC would probably be a smart move too, there’s a lot of different cultures there and plenty of cool landmarks.

      I know you guys hate self promoters but please hear me out. I'm different than other rappers, I rap about stuff that makes a difference. I recently got bullied in school and I wrote a song about that. They bullied me cause I'm indian, my accent and a lot of other stuff as well. The song is called "k grip hope" I think you guys should listen to it so you know what it was like for me. Thanks for listening to me, please be kind to others whether you listen or not.

      Nas doesn't have a flow IMO. He's got lyrics though. Big and Jay Z have flow. Pac had the ability to capture an emotion on record and make you feel it.
      Just compare the feelings you get when you listen to I Gave you Power by Nas vs Me and My girlfriend by 2Pac. Both songs about a gun but both give off a different energy.

    • @jcrofficial4309
      @jcrofficial4309 Před 3 lety +3

      Nas structure is randomly thought out. In this skill, even Big L surpasses it it's just that he wasn't given time to mature it.
      I prefer a dude to be a master of a skill in the craft than a jack of all trades like Nas is.
      That's why Pac and Biggie are more memorable and even Jay Z are in more top 5s than Nas will ever be.

    The creativity of lyrics and ideas from this man is unimaginable. He's only part of a handful of artists that can create such a vivd picture with his words. the only other rapper that comes to mind is stann smith and maybe kendrick. the fact that he just won his first grammy is mind numbing. We will appreciate this man when he's no longer able to release music but I rather give him his flowers now while he can smell them. Thanks for everything Nas.
