2pac or kendrick > nas by a long shot
what the FUCK?
tupac/kendrick are both amazing in their own ways and all but if you're saying they outshines Nas in any way shape or form... then bro, you don't know shit about hip hop. Real hip hop. Even tupac was like out of all the battles he got into, nas was the most ruthless and the fact that he is still relevant today is PROOF that he is an undisputable champion.
if you're comparing JUST the lyrics, then fuck, I can name 10-20 other hip hop artists who write out of this world lyrics, better than nas and tupac combined but that don't mean they can do what nas did. Nas has clever rhymes, flow, subject matter and cut throat lyrics, only a few people can fuck with him.. tupac can but not kendrick bro, thats some kiddy pop music shit, but that's not taking anything away from either of them, they both have great talent too.
When you get to this level, I guess it just becomes a matter of opinion.. and my opinion is that nas > tupac and kendrick lamar.
