Yup, I said it.
I know I just opened the gates, let it flood.
Not trolling either.
Nas at his best is a treasure, simply can't be touched. The flow, the delivery, the imagery, the metaphors, the similes, multi-syllable/symbolic use any sort of wordage to describe great songwriting and it is there.

Lyrics for those of you to follow along.

Every single line is a work of art. Every single line (and connecting line) is GOAT level worthy shit. Not a breath wasted.
Sure Zimmerman has great lyrics. But rapping is an art that Dylan touched upon briefly, yet doesn't come close to mastering. The rhyming and connecting of lines and words, using metaphors and similes in a rhythmic pattern makes it all that much more difficult. Specially in the manner that Nas spits. So sure, somebody can post a great song with great lines, but when analyzed with all of the elements put together, Nas' flow, cadence, delivery win out.
Just smooth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp5E...l=KoolGRapVEVO

Who is Robert Zimmerman?
And Nas is probably the greatest rapper of all time. IMO

Andgar is battling hard with platicode to be the most mundane, uncreative person in ISH.
"You know what? Let me use Nasir Jones for Nas and Robert Zimmerman for Bob Dylan. That will make me look cool!"
Aren't you supposed to be a grown man? Damn. I'm embarrassed and I don't even know you.
