Lonzo Ball has taken his infamous hot take about Nas’ relevance a step further by questioning the legendary MC’s résumé.
During an appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the New Orleans Pelicans point guard revisited his lack of interest in Nas’ music. He ended up debating Big Boy about the Mass Appeal Records co-founder’s discography and claimed Future has dropped more classics.
“I have no problem with him,” Ball said of Nas. “I think he’s good, he’s obviously a legend. But I just don’t think his music is like that. It’s just my opinion.”
Big Boy pushed back on Ball’s take and said the former Los Angeles Laker needed better friends to influence his taste in music. But Ball wasn’t having it.
“Let’s really get into this,” the UCLA product said. “How many classic projects does he have? Honestly, because people be saying he’s top five.”
Big Boy told Ball even asking that question about Nas was disrespectful before naming Illmatic as a classic.
“That’s one,” the Pelicans newcomer said. “That’s it!”
Big Boy fired back by questioning his guest about Future’s classics, switching the topic of discussion to one of Ball’s favorite artists.
“Future put out nine projects in a row that’s all hits,” Ball declared. Dirty Sprite 2 is one of the best albums ever. 56 Nights, one of the best mixtapes ever. What are we talking about here? Monster! Like, c’mon.”
The NBA player’s answer prompted Big Boy to say, “I’m not gonna even have this argument with you” before changing the subject.
Watch their entire exchange, which begins at the 15:23 mark, in the interview above.

No, Future has more kids than Nas…. There’s difference. Ball isn’t the best judge of quality music considering he’s the spawn of LaVar Ball aka The Male Kardashian.lol
Stop giving this phaggot the attention him and his old man are desperately seeking, washed up fool’s been getting dunked on
I used to feel kind of sorry for Lonzo having a jackass father but its clear theyre all retarded, this fool gonna be known more for staying on Nas’ dick than anything
Future has no classics. He’s a cornball. Nas is arguably a top 5 emcee of all time with at least 3 classic albums under his belt.
NAS has one classic, the others are good bordering on great but certainly not classics
And what makes a classic mister expert?
Why even talk to this dumb kid? No one even know futures albums or hits! Who is he anyway? This young man is a failure just like his father. A complete idiot! New Orleans Pelicans will ship his ass next!
Lonzo Ball is a retard!
Every song Future made can’t top even one bar of what Nas ever spit
This kid is dumb just like his daddy! And… funny looking to…. like the Herman Monster!
And i bet he thinks the earht is flar either
You see this is why you get traded, when you say dumb shit like this ..Ight my guy.
this from a guy who had to google “black history leaders” before going to get them tattoo’d
Don’t knock down one mans legacy to pull up another’s. Nas obviously changed the sound of hip hop and culture the moment he entered pop culture, future is a good artist for his time. Lonzo needs to focus on his own legacy , 0 championships 0 all star games ijs lol
Who cares what this idiot Herman Monster dude thinks? Nas the Greatest of all time fool!
Why anyone wants to interview this idiot?
Can anyone name a Future album? Anyone? How about a song? Really people help me out here!
I can name at least 20 Future AND Nas songs in 5 minutes, but that’s irrelevant… You must live in a cave dunn dunn
Just a dumb little child!
I think shaq has a better free throw percentage then Lonzo
And better rap skillz
Why do we even entertain this? He’s from new generation, He was born in the year 2000 lol. It’s his opinion.
Factz Kev!! A millennial lol ? they call themselves lol.
Millenials were actually born before him… And they don’t “call themselves”, it’s attributed like Generation X.
Safe to say this kid really doesn’t like Nas. How many times is he gonna discredit a legend?
A journeyman nba player talking ab Nas ?♂️????
Future has 0 classics. Lonzo Ball hair must not know what constitutes for a classic. He probably likes lil uzi vert too
Some of you are really ignorant. You don’t have to like Future but you slander his name like you typed it sitting on Nas’s dick. Future & Nas are both legends. Just because you’re still jamming out to Illmatic on your Sony CD player doesn’t mean you know hip hop. You’re a weirdo that Nas would have nothing to do with. Lyricism doesn’t mean good music. Nas is a better lyricist than Future but lyrics alone don’t make a song great. Future has the cadences and melodies that no other artist can match.
Future is fkn trash you condescending nitwit.
You dont sound calm at all, Lonzo is that you?? LOL
How can you say all this with Future’s dick so far down your throat? You got skills! Well played sir!
This big dummy….
Nas and Future are both more relevant than this clown will ever be.
This comment section is a bunch of old ass gatekeepers actin’ like people are not allowed to have their own music taste if it ain’t matchin’ theirs lmao.
Nas IS a legend, hands down. But if you’re saying that one needs to be “educated about music taste” if he enjoys Nasir’s music less than any other rapper is just fucking ridiculous.
Nope very young but know hip hop past and present. Lonzo does not! Why get a conversation when you do not know much absolute? I blame part of this on Big Boy with those toots!
No wonder why they off loaded him…
Is this really news worthy people? Why any one wants to interview this dude anyway? He is a failure? Anyone seen his Daddy lately? Thank you! Any fool saying anything negative or comparing anyone against Nas is a retard? Nas is cemented forever!
Stick to basketball. You have no idea what you’re on about it.
Why even bother?
If you’re dumb enough to say that Future is better than Nas, you’re dumb enough to say that Lonzo is better than Jordan
While Nas has more depth in lyricism, Future’s production value makes his songs more entertaining in my opinion.
Keyz is Lord of Astral Darkness ?

Future tracks sound entertaining because of the PRODUCER not because of what he’s rapping. So the PRODUCER should get ALL OF THE CREDIT……NOT future.

How can he consider Future’s music as classics when noone can understand what Future is saying?
Hey, look below at all these bitches crying bc someone has a different opinion than they do.
This whole family is pathetic starting withbthe dad.. The whole family just needs to get in a plane wreck and leave usbalone with there stupidity..
Classic songs wit TRASH BARS .Even nas worst songs thst a die hard nas fan might consider weak would run circles around futures best tracks.
Listen gay keeper. You should really be proud of what and who you are, but this isn’t the time or place. Nice name. Not a bite off of MF at all. Maybe try to call yourself shady slim? Blaze Johnny? Jackass.
Who the F#%K cares what this idiot thinks ??? We all know NAS is on another level when it comes to this RAP shit…This clown better work on his jump shot and try to stay in the league. This is the same clown that messed up his FEET trying to compete with NIKE.
he must be crazy future isn’t even in the same league as naz
most people now a days can’t comprehend high level hiphop rap music or real lyrical content mcs.the crap they push now is just retarted dribble
He’s smoking that shit…
Brainwashed by the corporations like most kids today. I don’t blame them though, the radio pushes crack on the airwaves. Unfortunately, they will not realize until years that the corporations used them to kill hip hop. Hip hop is forever dope but thats not the problem. the radio will not play it.
JUST BOUNCE THE BALL!!!! GOOFY FUCKIN’ WIGGER!!!!
This man is a mental case… He had all them injuries from wearing them boat looking @$$ shoes that he had to change out every quarter. Now he feel he got the say so on Nasir….? I was a hopeful fan at one point cuz I noticed your court vision, skill, and your dunking game. But like TI said you reaching Bruh!!! Blast that No Bad Energy when you see this cat man… Blood of a slave heart of a king. We all kings in this Lonzo. Get your mind right and stop wearing them skates with no wheels @$$ Big B(ULL$H!+)aller Brand shoes mane! Get a shoe contract dude… stop messing your career up…
