I'll answer this with a question too...
If LL and NaS decide to drop albums tomorrow... Who outta the two you checking more?
That's a trick question tho lol
To answer your question, Nas. But we have to take other things into acct cuz LL has 10 years in the game over Nas and LL has been making his biggest moves outside of music for nearly 2 decades now. Nas has only been a rapper his entire career up until a couple years ago.

LL's GOAT album isn't even among his best three albums... Nigga was feeling himself as the face of the first major rap record label in Def Jam...
NaS debuted in 1991, that's nearly three decades in bro... Debut album in '94, that's 25 years in
The bars still potent today as they were when he was a teenager
I mean you listened to the track with Swizz on his new album? Fire...
That still doesn't negate what I said tho lol
Nas has only been a rapper his entire career. LL has ventured off into movies and TV decades ago. Before Nas made Illmatic LL was already a legend. Let that sink in for a min lol They arguably have the same amount of classic albums and LL has done wayyyyy more outside of music and opened more doors.
If we're putting everything into perspective, LL being the Goat isn't far fetched.
LL?!?!?!?!?
:huh5:
:huh5:
Nas put on for Queens way more than LL ever did and LL is in my top 5. There is no comparison.
Nigga hell no. Nas hasn't opened half the doors LL has. Shit not even 20% of the doors LL has.
What doors?
We can start with being the face of def jam. Being the first hip hop star (u can argue kurtis blow). There would be no Nas without LL.

If you're referring to the transition from music to screen...
Will Smith came through and crushed the muthafuckin buildings...

I think you guys got a lil sidetracked. This is a poor argument because plenty of rappers have had their lines/words become part our rap vocab

The Gift and The Curse? Fuck that shit, the first shall be last
I'm the man's man, a rapper's rapper
G-O-D S-O-N, they'll be none after...
I got time today... And I ain't even voting... No need to
My Nigg @Revolver Ocelot summed it up with his original post
That face of Def Jam is pretty weak.
And as far as first hip hop star, you are in the right borough....
Don't think Nas opened more doors than LL, just LL hasn't opened as many as you think he did.
That face of Def Jam is pretty weak.
And as far as first hip hop star, you are in the right borough....
How is being the face of def jam weak?
