could be, neverless.

i think nas is got better skills, although eminem can shine very nicely sometimes. The reason i picked nas is because his average track is better than ems average track.

Maybe it's just me butuhh I think its impossible to compare eminem to nas or nas to eminem....Try comparing eminem to cage...

 

[Zero Cool]

If it was just Illmatic-era Nas we were voting on, no question in my mind but as it's not.........

 

[one mc on dj]

The only thing that eminem and nas really have in common is that they were probably better when they were younger...

 

[2pacnbiggie]

well i'd say Nas...i'd prefer nas weakest album to eminem's weakest (encore) and nas best (illmatic) to any of ems cds i like them both tho i'd put both of them above jay z

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^haha you had to mention Jay-Z

Edit -

Nas,

It's close, Eminem comes tight very often. And possibly has a better range than Nas. But when comparing skills, I guess it has to go to Nasty.

 

[2PacThug4Life]

i don't like either of them, but i'll go with Nas.

May I remind you ppl that the thread was about:

Who Has The Better Skills...

I wonder if ya answer than still stands

 

[RaDeK]

Nas I think definitely has the better skills, usage of metaphors and things like that, just better lyrics and flow.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Strictly on the basis of emcee skills (rather than songwriting/album-making talent) I have to say Eminem.

I thought the opposite.

I'm thinking it's pretty close.

It depends on what you are looking for album wise...

Eminem has limited topics. He rapped about em over and over again and I think that is why he is so easy to ignore...
Nas on the other hand has more topics and because he has more topics I think it is a lot more interesting to listen to him...

I mean what do you want when you listen to eminem?
Nobody really wants eminem to rap about kim and his mother...

But everybody does want to see what Nas is gonna do next..Although ppl call him fake..he gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more props than eminem...Maybe it's cuz his audience is obviously different...

Eminem is better lyrically only by a tiny bit, but Nas has some amazing albums and songs and he can rap about anything. Its a hard one but I give it to Nas cause hes been in the game longer.

Please explain how you got to the conclusion that Eminem is lyrically just a bit better...I always wondered what ppl actually mean with lyrically...Not that I am stupid I am testing you...

yeah, I think the same, and I'd also say nas cuz there are some eminem tracks I just HATE, but I don't hate any nas's tracks. Of course there are many I don't like, but I still listen to them. Eminem makes me wanna kill myself sometimes... encore was a big mistake
