I agree, I felt this way for a while. My man Tragedy came off with the same vibe Nas had on Illmatic (just a young dude from the hood spitting about theworld/whats around him); even Nas admits that the
Juice Crew was one of his biggest influences from seeing them around the projects all the time; and since Tragedy was the youngest and still lived in the hoodhe's probably who Nas related to the most.
QB has different stages/levels of skill... I would put Tragedy and Nas in the same category even though Nas is the better rapper, the realness of Tragedy makesup for it. Dude never gets the credit he deserves. Been turning heads since his very first joint with Marley Marl (A Tragedy) then he got locked before hereally blew with the Juice Crew. Dude even has 2 joints with JMT and obliterates both... Now he's locked again after dropping a DOPE album
Can'twait for 2011 and the fire he's writing in the pen. BTW... his mailing address is on his myspace so you can send/visit him if you want.
Another dude you should check out if you like Tragedy is Killa Sha
and if anyone hasn't seen his documentary yet...... vvvvv

I see what your saying but, Tragedy always had a rough life dude just changed it up after getting locked. He started rapping more grimey before Mobb Deep andCNN blew. He still wasn't spitting no nelly raps though, after he converted to Islam dude was on the militant/political tip for a while... he's thereason CNN/The War Report are what they are. Then in his later albums, they are filled with political commentary. Honestly, as dope as the intelligent hoodlumwas, I prefer Tragedy Khadafi.
