One of the Greatest of All Time.

In my book the greatest rapper of all time. Nas was my voice when I was a teenager and at my age of 43 he still is my voice. Thank you Nas for telling our story for every project and all over.

Nas is the GOAT EMCEE. And if you unbiasedly analyze his first verse from 92s "Live At The Barbecue" to now, it's not even close. No other EMCEE has been this consistently great for a nearly 30-year period. His 94' debut classic, "Illmatic" is regarded as the Hip Hop staple centerpiece, and yet 27 years later, "King's Disease" is nominated for "Rap Album of the Year" at the Grammys. When has Hip Hop ever seen such excellence?! It honestly hasn't. He should've been in his first year of eligibility in 2018 without question.
