Nas & Rakim Compared?


We all know both of these artists Nas and Rakim both superstars in the hiphop world. But lets go back to when Rakim was top of the world in hiphop in the early 90s. People were saying Rakim is the best ever in the early 90s and still now people say he is best. But in the early 90s everyone was talking about this person called him the next Rakim. The person who was labeled the next Rakim was Nas. Then though out the years to the present time they get compared to each other alot of the time. But why?

Over the years, Nas and Rakim have frequently been compared to each other, both for carving out their own respective niches and for their profound influence on the rap game. To me they are like the same with style and skill. But I dont same Nas copy Rakim. I would say Nas skill on the mic shows he is like Rakim. To me these two are greatest of alltime. If hiphop never had these it would not be where its to day. Rakim era with Eric B left its mark on hiphop what it is today. And we all know what Nas and his album illmatic done in hiphop. So they were both in Kanye West - Classic also with Krs one and DJ Premier. Hearing them on the same track do you think they are a like?

Lupe Fiasco - Making Of A Legend?

It seems Lupe Fiasco is only 27 years old and he is from Chicago. He was featured on Kanye West's single, "Touch the Sky" in 2005. During this time, rapper and mogul Jay-Z heard Fiasco and assisted him in the production of what would become his debut album Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquo. The album had likes of Jay Z and Pharell on it. The album dropped in 2006. But then in 2007 he drop his second album which was called Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. This album was more on his own which I like so much about it. Tracks like Hiphop Saved By Life and Rockstar shows how good Lupe is.

Lupe third album should drop early next year and its called Lasers. He put out the first single in july and it was called Shining Down. Lupe released the mixtape Enemy of the State: A Love Story on November 26th, which features the beats from Diddy's "Angels" and Jay-Z's "Thank You" and "So Ghetto", amongst others.
