Reasonable Doubt vs. Illmatic vs. Ready To Die
Kill:
Illmatic > Reasonable Doubt > Ready To Die
IMO Illmatic is the most immaculate album ever dropped and Nas' way of rapping's been fascinating to me since I first heard that shit, plus the beats fit the album perfectly and I just don't get tired of any track on it
Reasonable Doubt is a straight up classic too, Jay came doper than ever again, not only because he went mainstream after this but also cause it had some of the deepest material Jay ever dropped and one of my fav east coast joints of all time (Brooklyn's finest) on it.
When I bought Ready To Die it had already been out for a while and actually I was kinda disappointed, not cause it wasn't good but cause some people said it was the dopest album of all times. Big had skills, but to me he never came close to Nas as a lyricist, plus there was shit I just didn't like like song 11 straight up contradicting song 10 (from "damn right I like the life I live" to "I don't wanna live no mo'", it just left me confused)...but whatever, that's my personal taste, RTD is definitely a dope album too
Cliche:
Ill + Matic.
Ready 2 Die
Reasonable Doubt.
ImmortalOne:
Illmatic
Ready To Die and Reasonable Doubt are dope, but to be honest, Illmatic isnt the only east coast album that is better than either of them.......36 Chambers and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx are better also.

Ready to Die The Notorious B.I.G.
Reasonable doubt Jay-Z
Illmatic Nas
Just my personal choice....ImO
As far as spin's go, It's over for me....Nas has gotten better since then ImO, people need to understand that "Illmatic" is only considered classic cause his beat's were not what the sound was when his shitt dropped...the sound was G-funk, his lp went against the grain.
Although this lp will alway's remain in my top 20.
I just love the other 2 way more.

what?? Do you not listen to the lyrics when you pop in "Illmatic"? They were filled with CLASSIC street poetry, pure lyricism, the beats have always been second to the lyrics when I think of "Illmatic", but I consider it a classic because they fitted each-other PERFECTLY.
