Even if Nas had NO GREAT singles, he'd still be top 5
all-time, because he is strong in just about every other
relevant category.

Your argument is like like saying Wilt Chamberlain isn't
one of the best players ever because he didn't hit
free throws. That's wrong because its wrong.


But to make matters worse for you:

Nas actually *does* have good singles.

Even better--almost NO RAPPER consistently has as good
*street* singles as Nas.

So even if you're bullshit category is right, you're
still wrong.

No, I am arguing that you being mad is a conceivable
category, though.
