Nas all day…GOAT status!
The Island of Hawaii pulled out the best for NaS treated the King like a KING as it should be! NaS is so blessed and much continued success to the GREATEST LYRICIST OF ALL TIME!
Nas Mash up Album:
http://usershare.net/rx3gpk2559ub
nas should get mc serch and large pro to executive produce his next album and make a new illmatic, but hes too dumb, if i were him i would make a 12 track album with beats from pete rock, scram jones, premo, large pro, 9th wonder, the alchemist and Khalil
with guest spots from AZ, Jay, scarface, rae and ghost
Hawaii came out in full force to support Nas! Rza even came out and made did a surprise performance of Wu Tang Clan Aint Nuthin To Fuck With! The place was jumpin beginning to end. legendary shiit!
I can’t beleive I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and aint nobody come down to do no concerts. I move after high school and Nas decides he wants to come down and show Hawaii some love. Aint that some shit…. I swear I got the worst luck. Missed the Jay Z concert in VA and now the Nas joint in HI. And on top of all that If I wanna go to the damn Lupe concert I gotta go to DC cuz Lupe seemed to have forgotten VA exists. huh. But the from what I see Nas did his thing at the concert. Big ups to real music.
@ The Shoster – Cosign…that show was ill!!! And the best thing Nas said that night was that Hawaii had the best weed he’d ever smoke!
Not only is Nas one of the greatest writers in hip hop, but one of the greatest writers of our generation period. Novels, stories, poems. Any writer. Period.
Nas one of the greatest writers of our generation? What has he wrote? Death Anniversary? Nothing would even compare to other actual writers. He doesn’t even write his own music. To actually compose a narrative is quite a different story when compared to writing a few songs. His last good album was Hip Hop is Dead, Nigger didn’t even come close and all of them fail in comparison to illmatic. Read some Hemingway, Shit read some Ian Macmillian if you’re in Hawaii. Get your mind right.
@H808…you are a hater! Nas probably reads more than you! Obviously you have some anger because Nas had Hawaii in a FRENZY!Get your mind right dude…HATE is played out! Nas is the Goat!
Kanye in HI > Lupe in HI > Nas in Hi. The aloha tower venue was ghetto and the damn thing wasn’t even packed. I hate feeling like there isn’t any energy in the audience.
Read more than me? I’m a local writer with a degree in Creative Writing, Nas didn’t even grad high school.
Leutrim Rexhaj…dumb? Why because he won’t do what you would like for him to do? Guess what DUMMY you are not Nas! Get over it Illmatic is 16 years old! Evolve grow up and stop looking for Nas to recreate what he alrerady created almost 2 decades ago!
Let’s be real, Nas is a good lyricist and a great rapper but as far as GOAT goes he doesn’t come close overall. In most cases, his beat selection is worse than the Clipse on a retail release. He has at least 4 albums that are below subpar and cuts like Hero contradict any real political relevance he has. I mean not even Rakim could be considered GOAT because of his track record, look at Seventh Seal. To even claim a GOAT is an impossible task considering the factors and differences in genre and specific emcees background.
The Beatles = GOAT and their only competition is the Stones. Seriously the only one in Hip hop who compares is someone like Kanye who actually produces what he raps over.
@H808…well take your ass and write a book then! Obvuiously you are a true HATER and guess what the venue was packed and the lines was crazy! Nas might not have graduated high school but with all your education you are still a loser and sitting on blogs hating on someone whao surpassed your success even with his lack of education…KICK ROCKS HATER! Nas Had Hawaii on lock! For someone you don’t like your sure to the time to check his performance on video!
@H808 NIGGA you are PATHETIC you are spending to much time on a man that did not graduate high school and by the way KANYE said “WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE LEGEND LIKE NAS IS?” GOAT!
@ hater…Is that an argument? I check blogs because I like the site and I have an opinion. When I showed up half the venue wasn’t filled and the stage was small as shit. I’m in no way debunking his success, I’m simply saying it was a poor concert and in no way compared to lupe’s or Kanye’s performance in Hawaii. I’m also not sure what’s worse, the loser who hates on a blog, or the loser who defends someone they don’t know on the same blog?
Seriously Kanye had a 12 piece string section at his concert, Nas had four wack ass opening acts at his.
@H808 congrats to you Nas performance was not as good as Kanye’s or Lupe’s but I bet you he still got paid more than you make in a year! You doing all this criticizing of a man you don’t even know or even seem to like but you know everything about his performance…an OBSESSED HATER!!!!!!!!!
I’m an intelligent and researched hater, it’s called a critic.
@H808…the wack opening acts come from your state! So tell them to step their game up!
@hater…once again, is that an argument, he got paid? Guess Paris Hilton is GOAT to then, shit throw in Foxy Brown, Maybe DJ Khalad, what about Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga? Idiot.
@H808 “Let’s be real, Nas is a good lyricist and a great rapper” You are a confused HATER at that! I can tell that you are not good at your job and your mad because a man who never graduated high school has a better career than you do as a WRITER! Your life sucks…I would be mad too! I’m gone to call you the “MAD CRITIC!” LMAO!
I agree, but they can’t. What’re you going to rhyme about in Hawaii that even compares to other states. The biggest deal here is the crack addicts down Kahalu`u which doesn’t compare in anyway to the addicts in other states. And these things have been addressed in Local Lit by better authors. Hawaii’s problem is that it fails to establish a particular and individual style all it’s own. They copycat. Creed C. is actually a decent group but fail to make their own record. You can’t make hardcore hip hop about the homeless in Chinatown when Waikiki is right down the street, Who’s gonna believe it?
Call me what you please, but I got your attention and that’s the point. fin.
Those who attended the venue via twitter claim that the venue was packed to capacity! Guess what I don’t beleive you and journalists are known liars!
I think I got your attention a professional journalist used his valualbe writing time responding to a comment posted on a blog…you are as pathetic as they come MR. EDUCATED JOURNALIST aka “MAD CRITIC!”
@H808…”What’re you going to rhyme about in Hawaii that even compares to other states. The biggest deal here is the crack addicts down Kahalu`u which doesn’t compare in anyway to the addicts in other states.”
^^^Oh I see why you are mad as a journalist in Hawaii you get NO LOVE (via above quote by you) you have a lack of topics to write about beside the crack epidemic! I guess your lack of employment is getting to you! Well call Kanye or Lupe and ask them for a JOB I’m sure they have some packed venues for you to write about! LMAO!
Goodnite…I hope the classified ads are of great use to you!
If nothing else, Nas is the greatest of all time cuz no one can get so many people to argue like he can. LOL. I’m 27 and i swear I’ve been seeing and hearing the same debates since 12 when Illmatic dropped. What I’ve learned is while it still gets me worked up when someone hates on Nas, I fucking love a good educated debate on whos the best ever and why. Gotta love it. Peace to the God Nasir Jones for his contributions. Keep the debates going!!!
@ H808, kanye and lupe AINT SHIT compared to nas. fix your face kiddo, your clearly from the wrong era.
“Critics?! I kind of forgot that they exist a long time ago. At times I got off on passing their expectations. Nowadays, maybe I’m playing with them, and then I wait for them to catch up to where I’m at. Some haven’t. Most never will.” -Nasir Jones Hawaii Weekly 3/2010!
^^^Nas is on another level from the rest of hip hop! So yes, keep the debates coming because Nas is the only artist I can think of that gets criticized for being a great lyricist!
H808…since your swinging on ye’s nuttsack….kanye did proclaim NAS as GOAT.
I’m not claiming that Ye or Lupe are better than Nas, I’m saying their shows were better.
just appreciate someone who still does RAP in the purest form.
what has he wrote? go listen to 2nd childhood, REWIND. Writing doesn’t mean it has to be in a book….i don’t appreciate critics who critique with nothing to show for themselves. you want violens, you want chellos? go get a ticket to an orchestra.
@H808, at the end of the day, whether or not you think Nas is the greatest, there’s an army of fans that do. And whether you agree or disagree, the simple fact is he is consistently on peoples Top MCs list, you can’t even deny that. Kanye’s acknowledged Nas as one of the greatest a few times and he is Lupe’s favorite MC and Lupe’s favorite album is ‘It Was Written’. And please don’t compare records sales, it’s pointless in hip-hop. There was a time when everything No Limit Records put out went platinum, and I would hate to think that you’d put Master P on the list of all time greats! Plus Nas has his share of Gold and Platinum albums, but what hip-hop fan really keeps track of the Billboard sales, leave that for Britney/Christina fans? If we’re talking about the MC and his lyrics, sorry to disappoint, but Nas in on the GOAT list, sorry if you have your blinders up.
@H808
that rapper you like kanye actually made a little song for you

Go read the book by michael eric dyson about illmatic, nas is the best hands down. Just want him to get back to Dj premier. Magic happens when these guys are on a track together. Sort of like T.I. and Dj toomp. Lets go Esco, loyal fan forever.
It was a cool show. Wish his set would’ve been a bit longer, it was only about 45 mins. But that seems to be standard for all of the events I’ve been to at this venue. De La did it; Badu did it too (and she came on waaaayyyy early). [Shrug]

Seriously I didn’t care about this whole convo….. but dont be dissin kahaluu faggot. everyone in hawaii be thinking we got the worse problem of Methheads but we fking dont. everywhere is the same…. waianae,nalo,kalihi,downtown — including your own town — they all got just as much fuckin chronics as kahaluu does. just that in kahaluu, they are out and about like the shits legal — try go drive around Nalo around midnight, that fkin town don’t sleep either… newsflash! the whole island is infected fuckface. some places just like to keep it indoors… also can tell your not even local, or you’d know they’re METH heads and not on crack. faggot.
I fail for living in Hawaii and not being able to make it to this shit…good to see a lot of people from Hawaii on this site tho.
I live in Kahalu`u idiot, I’m not dissing it.
Not local? You’re an idiot, Hygenic store? The Banyan Tree? Ignorant. Kailua has the worse drug problems.
Secondly, I’m saying the CONCERT was shit, not Nas. I do enjoy Lupe and Ye more, but that’s beyond the point. Nas is a great rapper but the concert was in a ghetto location which made for a bad show. Fuckin’ ridiculous how much hate for stating your opinion about a CONCERT. Thirdly, who the fuck cares if this person or that person is someone’s favorite rapper or that’s this persons favorite album, music is about taste period. Talk about real music talk about Beatles, the Stones, Coldplay, U2, shit. At least they are artists, groups that actually WRITE their own music and lyrics. Also, regardless of Nas’ ability with a pen, he’ll always suffer as an artist because of how he conforms to mainstream media i.e. HERO, or shit even the controversy with the NIgger album in general. True artists do not conform, do not dumb down. Sadly, Nas is just another mainstream artist tapping into his underground roots. It comes down to money and we’ve already seen him sacrifice for money when he signed with Jay, and on countless moments throughout his career. True artist, true GOATS never conform. Just because your good with the pen doesn’t mean you aren’t trying to line your pocket.
