21 Savage says Nas isn’t relevant

[5th Letter]

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Go into the Nas thread and pull everything that was said when it was talked about that day

let’s get the ball rolling

 

[Agent_Ro]

I’ll just say that I see what 21 is coming from, especially with his generation. Nas is still one my favorite rappers of all time but I understand why 21 said this

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

I had to cut this shit off half way in cause 21 isn’t making any sense and it’s even worse when niggas in the chat was agreeing with him. Just felt like he has a particular view of whatever he deems “relevant”

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Is Nas relevant though?

Sure, people that came up as Hip Hop fans in the 90s or even early 00s are probably happy with Nas' continued output, but when it comes to the younger fanbase, how relevant is he? Like is King's Disease 3 going to shake up the status quo in any way?

 

[Chi-Town B]

Nas isn't relevant to 21's generation, that's true

 

[Don Dada]

Nas would beat in a rap battle

If he sold 70,000 plus records as a independent artist last yr I'd say he's relevant. No promotion or maybe a week's worth or promo. Just because people 30 and under don't have him as their number 1 or go to guy he has a whole other demo that see him in that light.

Lol @ 'relevancy'

Nas isn't relevant. He's a legacy artist and his fans are mostly people who are like 40 plus and grew up with him.

Seriously, no rapper of this era are competing with Nas for fans or influence.

Nas demographic are literally the people that will argue whether or not Jay Z's BluePrint series is better than King's Disease.

Most motherfuckers that are into Hip Hop right now probably never heard an entire Jay Z or Nas album.

Nas will forever be relevant as a lyricist

But I don’t expect niggas under the age of 21 to aspire to rap like him

 

[King Freeman]

I don't disagree with anything said.

 

[Don Dada]

21 savage said he is a Nas fan

he once used Nas quote on his song ASMR

I just need one Glock, Nas need one mic (Lil' bitch)

"
[Chorus]
I got lots of stripes, all my niggas shiest'
You can roll the dice, you might lose your life
Keep my Desert Eagle on me, he not nothin' nice
I just need one Glock, Nas need one mic "

 

[OGDirtyD]

He is right tho. Most those 90s artist irrelevant.

 

[Don Dada]

If Nas signs with a major label like 21 Savage I am sure he will do better numbers because major labels number one and two goal #mainstream and #promotion.

I am not good on busniss but how much does Nas own MassAppeal? How much does he get from the sales compared to be signed with Def Jam for example?

What makes one relevant, being talked about by kids?

Is dababy relevant?
Can't sell a ticket for whatever reason but his name still in the headlines.

Is Nas irrelevant cause he isn't being talked about by kids and social media even if he's outselling so-called more popular acts?

In 21 Savage world you are relevant by going platinum \gold.

 

[Don Dada]

What if Nas and Drake dropped an album together? Could that do good numbers?

That can't be the case if he's selling as much or right around what the younger artist are selling. He outsold Ross, G herbo, meg and kendricks side project baby keem. If that demo that you say he appeals too buying or streaming music he's relevant. Are you saying you only matter if kids are playing your music ??
