Nas doesn't do it. While he may have rapped over samples most relevant albums have carried heavy funk influences on the more than 2-3 tracks. Nas can write his ass off but as far as albums, staying current in the MINDS of the masses he does not do that, Nas has not been relevant in a while, he has been dope, he has written strong tracks but very few people will say that he is impact full or that he even wants to be. And just to be clear Nas is in my top 5, that however doesn't make him relevant NOW, th e most relevant thing he's done is rap as a narrator's siholutte in 'The Get Down' on Netflix.
