I cant think of that hindered Mega anything other than that he is so similar to Nas that the world cant handle 2 Nas's at the same time and since Nas came out first the Mega is seen as knockoff

and also Cormega was locked up and his career had a bit of a delay but still that kinda speaks to the first point as a support

I mean Cormega is just as introspective as Nas
He has more street cred than Nas too
his music sounds realer/more authentic than Nas's too


AZ has a better flow than Nas altho he is a little more one dimensional w his and doesnt get too poltical or make the statments that Nas has made. His career hasnt been as dynamic either and he's had ample opportunity to pull out all stops. hes here in the discusion if you happen to fancy him

but really its about Mega

if I had to rank em
I would go

Cormega
Nas
AZ

Cormega and Nas is really a fairer comparision as their skill set is similar

I just threw AZ in the discusion for GP
