This thread implies Nas aint got dough like that
Based on that IRS ? and the amount of the child support payments, Nas' money is a lot longer than people think
based on that IRS ? , and the amount of child support payments... i'm going with nelly -
Dumb nggas.
Royalties, residual income, tour money, club appearances, guest verses, merchandising, name/brand recognition...
Nas is shyttin on Nelly in ALL those venues. Nelly's name dont mean ? . Lmao Cool guy, but to sustain himself going forward he'll probably be on some Celebreality ? (Flava Flav, Jim Jones, Steebie J, etc.)
Lmao The ? is wrong w/ yall

? bringing up Kelis like thats the only ? he's able to get. You should know by now that Nas is a weird ? , hell go after the crazy ? with the natural hair before a certified dime. Back to the point ill rather go down as one of the GOATS of this genre instead of a dude who just had a nice run. Nelly will never be relevant again musically, while Nas can go away for some years and come back and drop an album and it will still be a big deal.

Nelly's as far as women is concerned cuz Nas lost when it comes to that. Ashanti and Random hoes in the tip drill video >>>Carmen, Amy Whinehouse, And Kellis
but Rapwise I'd rather have Nas's career because his Catalog destroys Nelly's and that's a fact -
Nelly name definitely does NOT sell like Nas's does.
We did a party with Nelly a few months back, we got that ? for free through a deal. Lets just say not that many people came.
But it was still a good party cause Nelly brought T.I. To the club with him... -
so basically thread starter you are asking....Would you rather be a watered down rapper who has money off a few albums or be a broke ass legend who is only a goat in ny...

merchandising? i could question all the other points you made, but that one is probably the most outlandish.. anyways.. you'd figure you'd have some kind of numbers to back up these types of 'facts' you're talking about -
I'd be in it for the money, so Nelly.

You cats still worried about chart position
It's the heart that your missin
It's the art that your missin
Just a little something to hold yall over
The Kristal album on the way, word up
When you're number one, everybody come
But when you drop to two everybody still with you
But when you drop to three everybody want to see
But when you drop to four everybody still endures
But when you drop to five people will help you strive
When you drop to six you still in every mix
But when you drop to seven people start guessin
When you drop to eight people hesitate
But when you drop to nine thats when you start to find
That when you drop to ten you start to lose your friends
When you drop to eleven your record stop sellin
When you drop to twelve it's everyone for themselves
So when you drop to thirteen you stop working
When you drop to fourteen no more self esteem
You drop to fifteen cuz you lived and you seen
When you drop to sixteen you now out the scene
When you drop to seventeen you see things you never seen
Like when you drop to eighteen you know what it mean
So drop to nineteen and on then to twenty
At nineteen you lose your honey
At twenty your money to a Playboy bunny
At twenty one things ain't funny
At twenty two you don't know what to do
So you hit twenty three you look for security
So you drop to twenty four no more can you endure
When you drop to twenty five at the bottom you've arrived
When you drop to twenty six you in a old school mix
When you drop to twenty seven until you start steppin
When you drop to twenty eight you start to meditate
When you drop to twenty nine you expand your mind
When you drop to thirty you see it was all ?
No you drop to thirty two and it occurs to you
When you hit thirty three now you can see
That it's all about skill and a love for the art
Not whose above or whose below in the chart
You got to look in your heart
It's there where you start
I and hip hop are never ever ever apart
WORD!!
Thats all i got to post. Peace
lmao
Listened to this the other day. It was the same album with the Nelly diss. KRS had a lot of anger in his heart that year. He stay spittin real ? tho. -

Sorry bro, im just gon rely on common sense to tell me NAS headlining a concert/club will do more than NELLY doin a concert/club. If that aint good enough, then it aint good enough -

nelly has more worldwide appeal than nas.. so okay let nas sell out MSG, as nelly sells out overseas in london or some ? . -
if u was a rapper, whose career would you prefer to have?
nas', who's been in the game for 20+ years, dropped classic albums, and is considered one of the goats.....
or nelly's, who went diamond with his debut album, saw his sophomore album go gold/platinum in over thirty countries, sold 22 million records (in just the usa alone), and is one of the highest selling male rap artists of all time?
whats uyour choice?
ill take nas ... especially if i dont have to take on the bad decisions he made off the mic -

@ bolded when? Lol in 2012???
Also, bruh everybody sells out overseas Lol
Funny thing is, most countries BUT the US are loyal to hip hop acts of the past, and they are far less fickle than we are here, so, again, im gonna go out on a limb and say Nas is shyttin on Nelly in overseas concerts (when he chooses to do em)

no he doesnt
-
Someone had to bring up kelis, even when the thread title says career and not personal life huh
-
The question is "career'', obviously Nas. I would take Nelly's accomplishments and money though.
-
Nelly. I ain't gotta be famous, gimme the bread and I'm good. Plus that ? got chart-topping singles that can at least get him some shows overseas for a while.
-
Exactly, the thread says CAREER.
Maybe im wrong, but i take that to mean catalogue, income stream from said catalogue, reputation, etc.
Kelis, IRS, ChSup doesnt factor in imo -
Nelly put out the music he wanted to and it was extremely successful commercially, i think that's every artist's goal.
But Nas has a lasting legacy and went down in history as one of the best rappers of all time, I also think thats every rappers goal.
Theyre on opposite ends of the spectrum -
? you ain't got to lie to kick it.... -
Nelly. Make a huge amount of money in a short time
-
Dumb nggas.
Royalties, residual income, tour money, club appearances, guest verses, merchandising, name/brand recognition...
Yep ..
I'll take all these plus
Nasir Jones after over/nearly 2 decades in the game is still musically relevant and has his fanbase intact. Plus he hasn't slipped up lyrically despite being a good 40 yrs old. He is regarded as arguably the greatest rapper ever.
Nelly has sold tons of records but has lost a massive number of his 'fans' despite him being a considerably good business man. Plus his recent drug bust up with the law is a slight taint ..
I won't follow some clowns in here and hype up another man's sexual conquests. Totally irrelevant and ? -
Be considered one of the GOATs
or
one of the high selling artist in hiphop. -
Lol @ the euros sayin "? " fucc outta here wit that female lingo.Rofl @ sayin that in a uk accent
-
I don't give a ? about who got more money, but what I do know is Nasir never went diamond....twice at that...someone said Nelly put the mid-west on his back (even though I never owned a Nelly album and I think he's wack as ? ), what Nas did? Carry Queensbridge projects on his back? LMAO! ? outta here...I'd rather cake, get my ? city on the map, kick nursery school rhymes, and ? bad hoes like Ashanti than having a Nas career.
