I genuinely don't see how anyone could say Nas is overrated.
And I have heard several people say that on this forum.
First, of all Nas and Jay-Z are equally talented, and are probably generally regarded as the 2 best mainstream rappers of today.
Now, think about how they are rated, before you call them overrated.
Generally, Jay-Z is regarded as a better rapper than Nas, and obviously more popular. He has way more songs played on pop radio. The only Nas song I've ever heard on pop radio was, 'I Know I Can'
While I think Jay-Z is a good MC, I think if you call anyone overrated, it would have to be him, especially since Nas talks a lot about political, and social things, topics that are lacking from more of the bland rap of today.

Jay-Z is more popular with fans, Nas is wayyy more popular with the underground scene, this site, and music critics(Not so much there). Anyway, I don't think Nas is overrated as a lyricist or an MC, but he's never had the production that Biggie, Jay-Z, etc have had.

It seems to me that in Nas' lyrics he is just telling people what they want to hear, he acts like he is rebelling against the mainstream while in all reality he is playing them and trying to just sell records. He could care less about making good music IMHO.

Why even bother with the rap forum then...To quote Bob Dylan 'don't criticize what you can't understand'.
