Yup. It's really only his voice. He raps nothing like Nas otherwise. But this was established about 15 pages ago , back when Bender was betting his life that he was , in fact, Nas.

Bender enjoys rap gossip more than rap music. He also has a ridiculously low IQ. Combine the two and this thread is made for him.

that's very astute of you but still going about it now just makes you look like an idiot. You may as well be debating if Shock G & Humpty Hump are the same person at this point.

It's annoying to have to even still go over this.
Yes, their voices are similar. No they're style of rapping was not. Topically and stylistically, he was different. Like I've said already in this thread a few times, if his voice sounded like anyone else NO ONE would draw comparisons to Nas. It's 100% cause of his voice. So, the people who truly believed that he was Nas, in my eyes, were either trying way too hard to make this a "thing" or haven't listened to much Nas or Y.O.D.

LOL bruh

it's all good. i ain't mad at ya.

I'm a vocalist. And Nas is one of my favorite rappers ever. To hear some Russian Droog with the same raspy twang is :naswtf: eternally.

I just don't come from a school of thought where such an uncanny parallel can go unnoticed. :kanyeshrug:

hilarious to me how quickly the interest in this dude waned the second ppl realized he wasn't nas. If he actually was nas, nas would have had probably the most notable third act in rap vet history, but since he isn't, this dude is gonna be 'that guy who isn't nas' until the boom bap heads completely lose interest.

Block, where u at homie??

yeah they coulda kept it up longer. have him perform in a mask, never appear in the same spot. nas can honestly claim ignorance since he's spaced out and has no idea what's going on. good for mass appeal aka his dividends.
1. Nas
2. Drake

Not sure interest in him has really waned though. Obviously the Nas gossip calmed down so the crowd that mostly check for big name mainstream rappers don't care anymore, but he's still got a decent momentum going for an artist no one had heard of a year ago. I'd say his target audience are still on board.

I think he's dope and the new shit he dropped yesterday is really good.
The only people who seemingly fell off with their interest are the people who's only connecting factor was hoping he was Nas IE Dumbasses. But , just looking at the song plays on soundcloud for the album he dropped yesterday afternoon, there's clearly a good amount of interest there.

Yeah, I mean he went from a rapper with an Internet buzz to rapper with an almost sold-out debut LP, who's going on tour with PRhyme and getting featured in Rolling Stone. Not really sure how interest is waning overall. Cos his Philaflava thread isn't popping as much? You know we only love you for those first 10 pages.

This new shit's nice. I don't see how he's lyrically similar to Nas. Though his voice and appearance are somewhat similar to a Maori rapper that goes by the name of Mr.Sicc:

He doesn't sound like Nas at all in this old video. Droog's voice sounds more similar to that Mr.Sicc dude here than with Nas. This is just to prove how ridiculous it is to constantly compare him to Nas, I'm not claiming he's biting anyone in particular.

I guess I'm off base. My lens is mostly through seeing how he went from super buzzed about on twitter/fb to basically nil once the face got revealed. He does seem to have retained a decent core of the people interested in him in the first place.

Go for it. Cause that G rap/LL shit proved nothing other than you've heard both those guys rap before.
