In an interview with The Omaha-World Herald, Nasir says Aubrey is two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen.
So who is that guy for you? Who are you listening to?
Drake and always Scarface.
Why?
Drake is new. (He’s a rapper from Toronto.) He’s here to show anybody who questions him that he’ll get at you. He’s like fresh water right now on dry land. Scarface is the realist rapper. He’s the most musically serious, besides Kanye (West), right now. What Scarface says in his rhymes is real. You can’t get away from (Lil) Wayne right now. So that’s what I’m listening to. I’m waiting on Dr. Dre’s album.
Yeah, since 1999.
Props: TRU

Wait wait wait
Nas NEVER said he was good. He said he is the most musically serious at the moment. Wayne is musically serious but Wayne isn’t really good.
And for being the fresh water right now, I agree. He is not doing southern music, has a different sound(though copies styles) and rhymes are somewhat decent.
All in all though, with the crap that people have been putting out in hip-hop recently, it doesn’t say much. This is in Nas’s defense, just actually looking at what he said.
When so much crap out today, decent stuff sounds great.
