You guys fail to read or converse without the personal takes.


Personally, I said “Behold a darkhorse” is better than “it was written”

And the fact that you said Roc rhymes like he has brain damage makes zero sense,
when Roc has been one of the illest MCs in hip hop for the past 10 years.

And when you have some of the greatest MCs to ever rhyme to have Roc in their top 10, and platforms like Rap Radar, Okayplayer Music, etc to have Roc as one of the best MCs of the last decade, then you know he is legit. This dudes run is historical. 10 straight years of releasing nothing but gems and classic, and personally reigniting New York hip hop. It was unheard of to rhyme with no beat, or to just rhyme over a melody for an entire album. Now everyone is doing it.

I never said that Nas was lyrical wack. I said his music and beats after illimatic are lackluster, which hurts his legacy. This isn’t anything new. This has always been the knock against Nas.
