the internet is constantly debating jay vs nas. what about nasir's other competition ?
himself.
nas has always been his own worst enemy. whether it's picking beats, or picking girlies, nas stays fuckin up. but let's be real, verse for verse, bar for bar...nobody's fuckin with nas. even waka knows.
so in general convo today, it was brought up.. what is the GOAT nas verse ? let's sort this out. i'll make a couple choices, you can add your opinion in the comments.
verbal intercourse
cliche choice ? perhaps. but tell me nas didn't murk these other 2 greats on their own shit. he renegaded the chef and ghost before renegading someone even existed.
NY state of mind
stop playin, nas.that's all that really needs to be said.
so what you think ? i realize alot of cats are gonna come at me with either a)- what's the point here? it's NAS..everything is ill, how you gonna even pick one?
or b)damn! you left off _____ WTF, B!
i'm just curious what the rest of you think.. if you could only pick one (or i guess 2, if you wanna be cool like me..) what would be the #1 nas verse ?
There is no competition. You're trying to find a needle in a needle stack. Impossible.
ReplyDeleteslow down ,stanley.lol it's not impossible. whats your favorite nas verse?
ReplyDeletelol Nah Abort. It's impossible. Too many ill verses. "No Ideas Original", "What Goes Around", "Silent Murder", "Power..."
ReplyDeletea) ahat's the point here? it's NAS..everything is ill, how you gonna even pick one?
If I had to pick though, I might say the last verse on "What Goes Around". I could change my mind tommarow though.
ReplyDeletei get that it's nas. it just came up in conversation, and i figured i would post my favorites and see if anyone put their 2 cents in.
ReplyDeleteany excuse to post these 2 songs tho.. know what i mean?
Verbal Intercoruse is a perfect verse though.
ReplyDelete*ponders*
I think some of what Ghost's verse went over people's heads though. Coming home with different size kicks on etc.
*stans*
ReplyDeletehave you ever read (on cocaine blunts i believe) the "making of" feature about the making of verbal intercourse ? nas had like 3 verses and was like, "which one do i kick?"
stop playin, nas
I think I read that Nas was kicking al these different verses at the session. I think I read that in XXL. It's funny because there was another rumor that Nas was freestyling so long that Biggie fell alseep or some shit. lol Like, you know most of these rumors are exaggerated, but I always thought that shit was funny even if it was only half true.
ReplyDeleteYou ever heard that Fat Joe interview where he was talking about Nas and Biggie freestyling at some club. He was like:
ReplyDelete"Then Nas started kicking some JAMAICAN shit!"
For some reason I doubt that's true, but he was so sincere. lol

fat joe is a legend.
Rza said he has a nas verse, I'm assuming it's from that Verbal Intercourse session.

^Word. I know he lost alot of stuff in a flood or something, but I think that was just beats. A Wu-Tang lost tapes would be crack.
I'm gone though. Peace.
ReplyDeletePeace
ReplyDeletefirst verse of "Nas is Like" > Verbal Intercourse
ReplyDelete3rd verse of "Suspect" > Verbal Intercourse
ReplyDeletei even like the "Eye For An Eye" verse more than Verbal Intercourse
2nd verse of Memory Lane is thoro as well....
ReplyDeletehl was right...there's too many to pick the GOAT verse
This is almost on the level of, say, pick a GOAT Ghost verse, or DOOM, even. Silly. I couldn't even begin to guess... I've probably never heard it because the man's ear for beats is so totally garbage I can only be in the same room with, say, one-tenth of his work. He always talks sense, exceptionally well - Just the whole Casio keyboard vibe makes me wanna puke. I'm always trying to shove Verbal Intercourse down someone's throat -Mos def the most likely Nas verse to appear on a NTZ mixtape...
