actually not more than God's Son.. but I liked it.
and ohh. well a ton of his albums went platinum.
Agreed.
.... oww. my ears.
i think that it was partly for that. people thinking "hip hop dead? say what? i gotta pick it up and hear it!" but also he took the idea from an artistic point of view. i love the sample on Hip Hop is Dead (feat. will.i.am). and why was will.i.am. on that track? ironic
and ive been blasting virgo today. im a pisces. lmao such a danceable song
purple on lost tapes is pretty legit.

God's Son vs HHID? Made You Look > all of HHID...that album is legitimately trash..
I like Blu's tier list for Nas albums though I'd have Street's Disciple and I Am over Untitled/Distant Relatives. Both albums have quite a few throw away track but the great tracks make up for it.
Edit: Agree with Soap about Got Urself a Gun. Never gets mentioned among the great Stillmatic tracks yet it's utterly bodied.

Edit - we should do more album vs. album discussions....could be interesting...someone else's turn
But I think you're too hard on the firm.
Check out this track (doesn't actually have Nas on it lol, but still awesome): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Uu5yjRAN6Q
You might be right that HHID > The Firm. But I didn't really care for Untitled. And The Firm definitely > Nastradamus. Nastradamus was rushed like mad.
Also, sorry, but I liked SD more than God's Son. I think you guys are overrating God's son. Just my opinions.
Hip hop is Dead wasn't bad by any means, Nas just has a lot of amazing albums lol.
Distant Relatives definitely hasn't. It hasn't been out a long time.
Woops, knew I forgot something.
IAmBlu3
Smash Champion
well HHID has 4 solid tracks in Black Republican, Money Over Bull****, Still Dreaming and Blunt Ashes....everything else...smh.
i just listened to I Am again today. i can see why you'd put it over those 2. it had some really dope tracks. SD did too. only thing left for me to listen to is.....nastradamus again......still can't believe he did that track with ginuwine.
I think You're Da Man is underrated from stillmatic.
edit: i doubt distant relatives will ever go platinum.
the second disc for SD really dropped my rating for it, with exception to War, Me and You, Bridging the Gap, Getting Married and Virgo.
i thought American Way, Reason and You know my style were weak on the first disc.

I feel like Street's Disciple has enough tracks to make one solid regular album out of a double album, so it depends really how you judge it. Also, Street's Disciple (the track) is one of my favorite Nas tracks ever.

Ha I usually feel the same way about all double albums.

I see Lost tapes lower than it should be usually, so many classics on that record for it to be low like that.
Hip Hop is dead is a mad creative album, I don't see why someone would rate it so low, it's not even like Nas' lyricism was off on that record.

Streets disciple... idk yo lol I just didn't enjoy it, too many fillers and doesn't seem like Nas' style on some of this.
Check hip hop is dead again before you say it's trash.
Distant relatives is kind of boring to me since I don't listent to regge, all the time I was just waiting for Nas to come on when Damien was on lol.
Untitled, I see this album underrated too much, it's a themed album and not even that bad for one. Although We make the world go round is kinda commercial, some **** on there can be boring sometimes. The production was supposed to give some of a blues feel and that old black community music, idk I think it's just really into the concept.

I haven't really sat thru HHID, Street's Disciples, Nastradamus, and the Firm. I've heard most of the tracks haphazardly but didn't give it that album sit thru. So I will get on that
I really like a ton of Street's Disciples tracks tho.

I personally like stillmatic more. i'm having a tough time getting into it was written. sometimes, the lyrics for a track would be dope, but the chorus would be ehh.
i'm doing this comparison out of curiosity and don't answer if you haven't listened to both
Illmatic or Reasonable Doubt?

Yea lots of lame hooks on It Was Written, but Nas is still really on point on that album. He's more on that Raekwon/Ghostface style mafioso rap which I don't care for as much as well. Still has some beast stracks (The Message, I Gave You Power, Take it in Blood, If I Ruled the World).
I also gotta go with Illmatic over RD. RD is more on that mellow tip which makes it my favorite if I'm really in that mood. Overall though I prefer the hype **** which Illmatic provides (really provides a better all-around sound to it). Really on any given day I could be feeling one album over the other, it's hard to really say.
Personally I'd like to compare Ready to Die vs Illmatic much more (prefer Ready to Die, greatest album ever imo).

Illmatic >>>>>>> Reasonable Doubt. Reasonable Doubt is good, but for me, it doesn't have that replay value (it does have replay value, but not as much). Nas had dope beats, dope lyrics (on every track too), and his style changed from track to track. Well not his style, but his speed. He went from N.Y State of Mind which was like an attack of words, straight to Life's A ***** which had a laid back vibe. Almost every line is quotable too. His lyrical ability is insane on that album (I know I said it earlier). There's no other way to describe Nas on Illmatic, other than dope.
My favorite album is still tied between Black on Both Sides Black Star, and Train of Thought. But Illmatic was ****ing amazing.
Worst Em track is FACK. for sure.
And just because a strong has extreme vulgarity, doesn't mean it's bad. Check 75 Bars. dude said the n word like 50 times

hmmmm haven't listened to ready to die yet....
i had a feeling the general consensus would be illmatic but the two are still comparable.
life's a ***** is dope. people keep sayin nas got ate up by az on there, though. i don't really think so but cheah. random hip hop note: nas wrote NY State Of Mind when he was 17 0_0.
i'll come back with my ready to die review in a few hours. gotta let it play through a couple times. i hate when dudes listen to an album once and think they know its ins and outs smh.
boofy, you listen to joe? are you in that mood yet?
