Bracket 1: North

Nas or Blackstar?

Two days to vote. This should be a war. Winner meets either Jay-Z or KRS-One in the final four.

blackstar. illmatic never did it for me.

Wrong. Try again.

[catchmealone]

Illmatic definitly is great. But some of his other work was very ehh.
I'm going with Blackstar. I love the Blackstar album, Kweli has some great work(and some not so great stuff), but Mos Def can do no wrong.

illmatic is like top 5 all time hip hop LP.

[Ratherbedead22]

uhhhhh

illmatic is like top 5 all time hip hop LP.

im not denying that a majority of people love illmatic. and im not saying nas is not talented or that illmatic isn't critically acclaimed. i just dont listen to it like i did blackstar.

[Ratherbedead22]

Yeah, there really isn't any point in arguing with anyone for how they voted in these things since the polls aren't necessarily "vote for who is better." Hell, on some of them I voted for who I thought was better and on other matchups I just went with who I liked better, even though I knew the other was better/more skilled/more influential/whatever.

exactly.

Nas wins, meets big lips in the final four.
