The word poetry used to get brought up a lot in Hip-Hop, often inappropriately,
but nevertheless rarely gets said any more. Nas is one of the true poets in Hip-Hop
history. He's the student of Rakim and he surpassed his mentor. End of story.
I make a best of Nas mix, 18 tracks, no MC is touching it with a 10 foot pole.
And if they are, their names sound like Kool G Rap, not whoever is coming out most
of your mouths.
