Nas isn't that lyrical, people is seriously overrating him. Rakim is better than Nas, but is not as good as GZA. Killah Priest tells nice stories, but his technically he doesn't come close to the likes of GZA & Rakim. If you said Gift of Gab, One Be Lo or K-Rino, I couldn't disagree, but how is Nas on the same level as GZA when it comes to lyrics. His lyrics are average nowadays and after It Was Written he didn't even release a full album with great lyrics. Well, the compilation album Lost Tapes is great, but his discography is really overrated.
