Nas or Mos def
 

two truly genious rappers, lyrically elevated individuals who are legends in there own right...

but which is better?

neither, i hav like one mos def cd, and i dont hear that much of his shit, but i have to say neither

aight aight... uppin for replies on this one......

Nas,Mos Def isnt at his level.

Mmmm, I Think They're On The Same Levels...
And They Switch Off At Whos The Best...
Some Tracks From Both Will Suck And Then Some Are ILL...
So I Cant Give An Exact Answer...
.One.

Dead even, both are poetic legends...

Yo i cn c mo ppl sayin Nas bcos hes mo popular and made mo sales but Mos Def pen on paper is almost equal it cud swing either way, if u listen to Mos Def sum of his shit is lyrical genious. So i hav to say....................neither ( but maybe Nas.i dunno)

neither...jay-z better, but i think its a tie, cause they both speak some deep shit...i dunno

i hate mos def
NAS is way better to my thoughts

wow, like them both, they are truly ill, and have contributed wisdom to hip hop

Tought call I would have to say Nas though

Mos Def is a renaissance man, but he's more eclectic and can appeal to uh wider range of groups. Nas is also a renaissance man but with uh gun. He adds uh street aspect to what he does, like Pac did, in order to avoid alienating folks, at a certain level of knowledge, who would otherwise tune him out when he expresses the more elevated aspects of his theme (message.) So it's really like comparin Admirals to Generals, and though they both have the same agenda-they have different approaches, and where Mos Def is more general (appealing to a wider audience) Nas is more specialized to reach more folk in the hood (state of mind.)

nuff sed

I take that back.. after hearing more of mos defs song he is pretty goods but nas is better

NAS...hands down

I like my boy Nas he comes with some deep shit...and poetic flow

it is a hard call, but uppin on this one anyway...
