True,but the youth shouldn't be saying dumb shit like one of the best artists in your genre isn't relevant. Nas would never disrespect the acts that were older than him when he came in

I get that and I wouldn't argue it if we were talking any say Epmd or Rakim or someone who hasn't been active or moving a decent amount of units over the bulk of this younger generations life. Nas has been active damn near the entire time. Hell he dropped a album same year as kendricks debut lol . So he's been around he's been active. The young folk may not be up on the early classics but they should still be familiar with certain artist.

What 21 said that is most revealing and explains why so many of these current rappers are so terrible is because they don't study the greats that came before them. These dudes don't know what they are doing.
That said, I get what he's saying about relevancy, if relevance equals an age group. Very few people I know under 25 are checking for NaS but will talk about Kodak Black or Uzi Vert all day long screaming "BARS" when those cats ain't said anything. Dude still give NaS a lot of respect though.
That said....I couldn't name a 21 Savage song if you stuck a gun to my head.

the fact that one of these niggas that these youngins listen to (21) is talking about Nas and his music would make him relevant in some regard tho wouldn't it tho..and hence.. the needle has been moved(the music AND the discussion of relevance) cuz niggas been goin back and forth about it

I was wrong, when I first looked I thought it was 570 a ticket but it's like 2 and change for 1 ticket. So they're not bad

21 let a lot of ppl know Nas has an album out lol
Nas winning that Grammy when he was the only widely known artist of the group while nobody else put out music because of covid isn’t the flex ppl make it out to be

Word of mouth(good or bad) can equate to relevance lol.
Nas relevance stands on its own. This bullshit conversation only adds to it
Word not disagreeing but Nas should thank 21 for putting more eyes on his project
internet actually talking about Nas now
We talk about old school acts all the time and it doesn't mean they aren't irrelevant

Yeah he def got a boost from 21 low key hate. How relevant is 21 when he aint standing beside drake, cole or kendrick tho?
If the internet is talking about you how are you irrelevent?
If you were being specific to pop culture you MIGHT have a point.. but nah theres always gonna be folks checkin for Nas
