Nas-
I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings
To fly like doves over the streets watchin' many things
Kids walkin' home from school on drug block missionaries
Pass out papers that read: Love God
See faces, cases, judges, juries, masons, lawyers and cops
I watch because every thugs face is my mirror
But this was one in particular
This kid he was the vintage stick em up pro
16 years old, did his jail sentence, nowhere to go
Every mornin calls his comrad to come and get him to smoke
He insane, already gone mad
Blames himself for his setbacks
Dangerous street corners where his sets at
Slang from dust to dawn, detectives act like they maniacs
Chasin' him, his ass was flarin'
Smokin' like a chimney, on really, of course he not carin'
He need a place to go to keep his mind expandin'
I give him a helpin' hand, bring him out to Thugz Mansion

His music makes you really feel for the streets and want you to bust out your gats if you have any. A great rapper with such great stories, listen to Fetus, Affirmative Action, or The Message. Some of his story-telling capabilities have been matched up with Slick Rick. A common favorite of his works is the Illmatic C.D
40 year old man: hey little boy I got a nas CD if you come into my house.
3 year old boy: oh gosh! thats better then sex!
they jam to the nas C.D

All he needs is one mic.
One of the greatest rappers to come from the 1990s. Powerful lyrics that convery his political conciousness and inclination to party. Defintely in the top 3 along with 2pac and Biggie.

"I am the truest, name a rapper that i aint influenced."
"Rockafeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?
Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas."
"I'm the man's man, a rapper's rapper
G - O - D S - O - N, they'll be none after"
"I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo
It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo". - If y'all seen scarface you will relate, this is a slight attack on Jay

Last three posters should quit rap and hang of a noose. First of all Jay-Z is a biter ,he bit from Biggie,Pac, Big L, Snoop, and Nas himself.Therefore he's fake and unoriginal . Nobody likes sell-outs come Uptown or even Bronx ..Catz aint feelin Hov
He survived the East Coast beef while Jay was suckin up to Badboy.and comparing Ether to Takeover is stupid cos half of them people that voted on hot97 are lil surburban wwhite kids

A really good lyricist with good flow and breath control. Set the bar for a good LP when he dropped Illmatic, probably the best rap CD of all time. Fell back slightly when he dropped It Was Written in '96, but it still had some good songs. Nastradamus kinda sucked too, but Nasty Nas made a comeback with Stillmatic and God's Son. Then he went on 2004 to drop Street's Disciple, his first double disc CD. Yeah, and he shut Jay-Z down too.
