I'm not comparing the two, but I'm saying that Nas may be just at good at what he does as Rakim is at what he does.
Since Rakim Allah obviously had influence on Nasir Jones, comparisons will be inevitable. But like I said, I'm not comparing them.
Of course Rakim is the G.O.A.T. Anyone who tries to say otherwise is foolin' themselves.
FWIW, Nas is #2 on my list.
But I agree with errything you said, Swam.
"Jackson" -- Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
My wife and I used to drive back and forth almost every weekend between Chicago and Detroit, and every time we went along I-94 through Jackson, MI, we would put on this song and practice the harmonies. It's fun as hell to play on the guitar.Quote:

I think it just started as a joke, because Jackson is such a pit. Driving through Jackson, MI and singing a song about how you want to go to Jackson because you're going to have such a good time and get laid...it's laden with irony.Quote:

Too bad there isn't a song about Parma, MI.
Sure, there's that old Drew Carey theme "Moon over Parma", but that's about that shithole just outside CLEVELAND.
At least we have "Saginaw, Michigan".
I was a big Rakim fan back when. Somehow I missed the boat on Nas. Completely. Couldn't pick his lyrics out of a lineup if my life depended on it.Quote:
