Although, considering Nas has such a heavy part of your list, I'm surprised Stillmatic isn't anywhere.

[soap]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffDDbEJAEIg

didn't seem as bad hearing it. Seeing that written down in your sig was just hilarious.

I can't do a top ten. there are too many supposed classics i have not listened to. Paid in full for example

 

[MBlaze]

I woulda put stillmatic higher but the last few songs ruin it for me like bravehearts party, my country and every ghetto get kinda boring imo.

[cookieM0Nster]

i dont really have a top ten.

top 3 or so?

1) Train of Thought
2) Black on Both Sides
3) Illmatic


dont get me wrong, i have tons of albums, but these are my 3 favorite. train of thought ive listened to through and through many times.... black on both sides is amazing, i need to get the cd for it soon...
and of course illmatic, it sounds so dope on a cd player. i have an old bose cd thing, when i turn the volume up all the way it sounds amazing.

 

[MBlaze]

I love "my country"

"watchin my back, smokin this grass
beatin my dickk, thinking of asss"

rofl thats not entertaining?

But Nas does start rambling off revolutionaries at the end and sounds like a bit of an idiot to me. Like he didn't even pronounce Che Guevara right

Nas' dumb **** he says at times is kinda like part of his charm for me tho. Same with DMX.

At the distant relatives show he was like " Yo man, we gotta show our support for Africa. Places like Somalia....uh um........ The Congo...." he was reachin man.

 

[KrazyGlue]

Oh, yeah my list was 10 greatest, not 10 favorite. Hmm... I'll have to do some more thinking for 10 favorite.

Dude, I was literally about to buy an original copy of Illmatic from my friend. We were rolling from football practice and he has 3 copies of the original plus a 10th anniversary edition. I didn't feel like getting it until he finds the cover. All for a sweet price of $5. That **** was mad dope on his stereo. I swear that **** was mad stupid.

illmatic is mad overrated.

........

I don't think Illmatic's that overrated, but I do listen to It Was Written wayyy more.

I need to start getting into more of Nas's ****. I only heard Stillmatic, Illmatic, Distant Relatives and the singles from everything else.

 

[Kingdom Come]

Anyways, as for my top 10

We are gonna do a countdown. Starting with number 10!!!!!

"I met this little girly/her hair was kinda curly/went to her house and bust her out/ I had to leave real early"

Dope ****. That's a line from one of the singles from my number 10 album. Most of you probably know this. But, I want to see how many people actually know. Y'all are gonna be surprised by my top 10.

 

[Boofy!]

its time to rock around to rock around thats right on time its trickayyyy

ehh i can do without them.. i respect what they did for the game as pioneers and such but i can do without their music

 

[jugfingers]

I wrote a rhyme but don't remember the ****, it was something like uhh suck my dik,

wait a minute, no it didn't it was more like, baby if you wanna dance then its alright"

RIP.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

illmatic is the best obv. not overrated, literally every song is good.. blast it full volume in speakers, best thing youve ever heard.

i think mine was an original illmatic.
it wasnt the 10th anniversary one... but it has the original artwork. how would i find out?

 

[Jim Morrison]

Man, Tribe Called Quest is so top tier :|!

 

[Matador]

Nobody would approve of my top 10...I don't get tired of good music as much as most people, so alot of it would end up being the same artist...

I just had an epiphany...We need a Xat...Everyone signs in and gets mod so we can BC music 24/7 and vibe to it n whatnot...would be hot...

Alby knows what I'm talmbout.

 

[MBlaze]

I'm wondering if I should by the Illmatic 10 year anniversary edition on iTunes right now...

Also for R&B listeners, Passion Pain and Pleasure is a tight album, possibly Trey's best imo.

Edit: It's not better than ready. lol

 

[T3h Albino]

Hell yeah.
