i've tried.
>The major difference lyrically between the two is his voice...
-that argument is dumb, considering the fact that thought does nothing but "shape" his voice more & more. i mean, i know what you're saying, but i can't figure how you relate it to common. distinctive? sure. but, you're trying him against someone who can sing.
it ain't too many other mc's other than thought & mos that can sing.
>the big jump on Resurrection was the beats and his voice calming down to match em. If you really do wanna argue, say I give you 94-04, that still 10 years of murderin muhfuckas, not just droppin verses.
-right. to the point where there's only a few who can match him on that time period. ll, 'kast, snoop, & thought.
still wanna argue?
>Com murdered everything he's pretty much been on, and IMO he's the only MC who kept pace with Canibus back when everybody else was gettin sprayed by dude on they own tracks.
-you're the one who's sheltered, dude.
>That Nas shit, that's Illmatic fuckin with everybody's heads.
-yeah?
-what about the 4 joints after that, that were either "not so much" (other than "i am"), or horrible?
>the only misstep Nas ever had IMO is Nastradamus, and that's only cuz it got bootlegged to holy high hell and alot of stuff meant for that ended up on mixtapes and scrapped.
-THAT's what happened, eh?
>Nas aint just capable, he has done great things.
-i never doubted that.
maybe you missed my point.
>He's as lyrical as he wants to be, as conceptual as he feels like, and he's still guaranteed platinum every time out.
-what's sales got to do w/ it?
-mofos won't ever realize that the best mc's ain't necessarily the one's that everyone likes (buys)
>Further on the concept tip, you're the one big uppin "Boom", so that's why I said that, and I know you aint sayin Nas couldn't out spit 'Riq....You betta pop in The Lost Tapes and go to "No Ideas Original" again.
-YOU could compare, but i can't.
not so much.
>As dope as 'Riq is, he never just appeals to me cuz he's too damn smooth for his own good. His verses never really stick with me, and his shit feels hollow most of the time. I was ovin the intensity and "straight spittin" on "Web", I was like "THAT'S the Black Thought people need to be hearin!", but those moments for dude are few and far in between. Honestly, until "Web", the last time I felt like dude even blacked out on a verse was on "Sections" on Illedelph...while Nas and Com do it verse after verse after verse after verse.
-you ain't hearin' dude.
>But in the end you got your opinions and I got mines, and as much as I love The Roots too (one of like 3-4 groups/artists I WILL NOT bootleg), 'Riq's not seein either one of those dudes.
-time'll tell.
