    Anyways, Nas easy. Unless you're a delusional Pac fan (do not drag me in that ? ), you can't deny that Nas was ahead of Pac lyrically and spoke on street ? more vividly.

    Black people dont understand vocabularly. Or at least ? in the reason dont. complex lyrics dont got ? to do wit poetry. the thread is titled poetry not confuscious lyrics

    Yall ? ? a be talkin ? about Maya Angelou. "Naw b, she aint describe the bird's plight wit enough soliloquies for me"

    the streets already chose who spoke for them best and they aint choose Nas.
    nas aint choose nas either

    So, by that logic, Malcolm X is a better poet by Langston Hughes, cuz he spoke to the streets more? And the fact you said "Confusious lyrics" only shows how ahead of Pac Nas was lyrically.

    No you idiot the only reason speaking to the streets is relevent is because the threat is titled STREET poet. and no it shows how stupid you ? sound and nas being ahead of pac lyrically is irrelevant because of the reason I just stated in the other post.

    You're forgetting the POET side to that as well. You say it like Nas only raps about pyramids and historical metaphorical oracle ? . It's too late in the night for me to be diggin all deep in his discography, but when you can make an entire album about Africa as it relates to the streets, I think it's clear who's better. Pac is more popular, but Nas is better poetically in all fields, including street topics.

    the streets ain't got time to decipher super lyrical ? .
    ? got money to make, bills to pay, HW to do. a ? ain't tryna break out a dictionary when he's tryna unwind.

    give me a good beat, nice hook, and a solid 16 with a crisp flow ; and i'm straight .
    all that "goober oober party pooper, shooter like july 6 1766 " is not for me.

    Don't attribute the "streets" to your own ignorance, simplistic nature and lack of imagination. If you think nas is too "preachy" say it yourself. Don't cosign people that don't even know u bro

    Dude get a grip both nas and pac have die hard fans on this site. But how often do we look at ther street poet personas though? Both were poetic, but who expressed the street life more poetically? Which one is the better symbol of 'the struggle'?
