@@carlostharealest5637 Of course he had a longer longevity, Pac died in case you forgot. Nas is one of the greatest of all time. One of the most meaningful storytellers, made the greatest rap album of all time, and is insightful in much of his music. Pac, as the person before said, was a true movement. If he was alive for longer he would've changed the world in unimaginable ways. He was starting a new revolution, and was a true artist in every sense of the word. Not just a rapper.

His analysis of RunDMC was correct and on point

Nas' voice is so relaxing and catchy it just makes you listen and absorb all the words he is spitting. Shit, I'm gonna cry like a baby when he dies, he's a definition of a legend.

I'm proud of Nas for naming Run DMC. I remember growing up they made me not give a damn about designer clothes. & they taught me how to talk to the girls at school. 😀 " IF YOU FIND THAT YOU DON'T LIKE MY WAYS, YOU CAN SEND ME BACK IN 30 DAYS " Not to mention " YOU KNOW IM PROUD TO BE BLACK Y'ALL & THAT'S A FACT Y'ALL & IF YOU TRY TO TAKE WHAT'S MINE, I TAKE IT BACK Y'ALL ". They were real role models teaching us how to be strong men and women. Run & D deserve their flowers not now, but right now.

Love this. His mindset, and advice, is amazing. Nas is easily one of the, if not the, G.O.A.T.s and he’s still making quality music. KD2 and Magic were both dope asf
